*Disclaimer* I am writing this post in a personal capacity; the opinions I express are my own and do not represent my employer.I think that more people and orgs (especially nonprofits) should consider negotiating the cost of sizable expenses. In my experience, there is usually nothing to lose by respectfully asking to pay less, and doing so can sometimes save thousands or tens of thousands of dollars per hour. This is because negotiating doesn't take very much time[1], savings can persist across multiple years, and counterparties can be surprisingly generous with discounts. Here are a few examples of expenses that may be negotiable: For organizations Software or news subscriptions Of 35 corporate software and news providers I've negotiated with, 30 have been willing to provide discounts. These discounts range from 10% to 80%, with an average of around 40%.

Sales & Pricing in Your First Season of Flower Farming Welcome to flower farming! If you're new to this industry, knowing about sales and pricing is crucial. This podcast covers strategies for your first season, including pricing transparency and customer loyalty. The Importance of Pricing Transparency Pricing transparency is key for your flower farming business. It's about being clear with customers and aligning with industry standards. Asking customers what they would pay can harm your reputation. Instead, set your prices based on research of reputable flower farmers and your costs. This creates a strong foundation for your pricing strategy. Remember, pricing can differ by location and market. A $25 bouquet may seem small in one area and substantial in another, so adjust based on local conditions and product quality. Understanding Seasonality It's important to educate customers about flower seasonality. Many may not know when certain blooms are available, leading to unrealistic requests, like brides wanting out-of-season flowers. Share your knowledge of seasonal blooms. For example, if peonies will be available next week, let customers know in advance to create anticipation and strengthen your connection. No Bartering, Please Bartering can undermine your professionalism. Haggling might imply you're not serious. Set clear prices and stick to them; customers should either buy at the price or not. Sticking to your prices builds trust and respect for your brand. It's better to reward loyal customers than negotiate with others. Rewarding Loyal Customers A rewards system for loyal customers can increase sales. Consider subscriptions for regular deliveries, providing steady income and fresh flowers for your best customers. Also, offer bulk discounts for larger orders, defining what qualifies as "bulk." For instance, a dozen bunches may qualify, but smaller amounts do not. Waiving delivery fees for larger orders can encourage bigger purchases and foster loyalty. Keeping It Simple As a new flower farmer, it might be tempting to offer many bouquet sizes, but this complicates things. Focus on one standard-sized bouquet that competes with supermarkets. Simplifying your offerings makes production easier and boosts profitability, allowing you to prioritize quality. Not Everyone Is Your Customer Understand that not all customers are a good fit. Some may expect more than you can provide or be difficult to please. Letting go of these customers helps you focus on those who appreciate your work. If a customer frequently complains or makes unreasonable demands, consider referring them elsewhere. Your time is valuable, and focusing on the right customers will yield better results. Building a Loyalty Program A loyalty program can encourage repeat business. Implement a punch card system for a free bouquet after a set number of purchases to reward loyalty easily. Show appreciation to regulars with special offers or freebies to retain customers and encourage referrals. Conclusion As you navigate your first season, remember that learning and adapting are vital. Stay connected with industry professionals and adjust your strategies as necessary. With dedication, you can create a successful flower farming business. For more resources, please visit our website.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Infra-Bayesian haggling, published by hannagabor on May 20, 2024 on The AI Alignment Forum. Preface I wrote this post during my scholarship at MATS. My goal is to describe a research direction of the learning theoretic agenda (LTA). Namely, a natural infra-Bayesian learning algorithm proposal that arguably leads to Pareto-optimal solutions in repeated games. The idea originates from Vanessa, I'm expanding a draft of her into a more accessible description. The expected audience are people who are interested in ongoing work on LTA. It is especially suitable for people who are looking for a research direction to pursue in this area. Introduction There has been much work on the theory of agents who cooperate in the Prisoner's dilemma and other situations. Some call this behavior superrationality . For example, functional decision theory (FDT) is a decision theory that prescribes such behavior. The strongest results so far are those coming from "modal combat", e.g. Critch. However, these results are of very limited scope: among other issues, they describe agents crafted for specific games, rather than general reasoners that produce superrational behavior in a "naturalized" manner (i.e. as a special case of the general rules of reasoning.) At the same time, understanding multi-agent learning theory is another major open problem. Attempts to prove convergence to game-theoretic solution concepts (a much weaker goal than superrationality) in a learning-theoretic setting are impeded by the so-called grain-of-truth problem (originally observed by Kalai and Lehrer, its importance was emphasized by Hutter). An agent can learn to predict the environment via Bayesian learning only if it assigns non-zero prior probability to that environment, i.e. its prior contains a grain of truth. What's the grain-of-truth problem? Suppose Alice's environment contains another agent, Bob. If Alice is a Bayesian agent, she can learn to predict Bob's behavior only if her prior assigns a positive probability to Bob's behavior. (That is, Alice's prior contains a grain of truth.) If Bob has the same complexity level as Alice, then Alice is not able to represent all possible environments. Thus, in general, Alice's prior doesn't contain a grain of truth. A potential solution based on "reflective oracles" was proposed by Leike, Taylor and Fallenstein. However it involves arbitrarily choosing a fixed point out of an enormous space of possibilities, and requires that all agents involved choose the same fixed point. Approaches to multi-agent learning in the mainstream literature (see e.g. Cesa-Bianchi and Lugosi) also suffer from restrictive assumptions and are not naturalized. Infra-Bayesianism (IB) was originally motivated by the problem of non-realizability, of which the multi-agent grain-of-truth problem is a special case. Moreover, it converges to FDT-optimal behavior in most Newcombian problems. Therefore, it seems natural to expect IB agents to have strong multi-agent guarantees as well, hopefully even superrationality. In this article, we will argue that an infra-Bayesian agent playing a repeated game displays a behavior dubbed "infra-Bayesian haggling". For two-player games, this typically (but, strictly speaking, not always) leads to Pareto-efficient outcome. The latter can be a viewed as a form of superrationality. Currently, we only have an informal sketch, and even that in a toy model with no stochastic hypotheses. However, it seems plausible that it can be extended to a fairly general setting. Certainly it allows for asymmetric agents with different priors and doesn't have any strong mutual compatibility condition. The biggest impediment to naturality is the requirement that the learning algorithm is of a particular type (namely, Upper Confidence Bound). However, we believe that it should be po...

In resolving hundreds of kidnap-for-ransom cases involving gang leaders, pirates, and extortionists, Scott Walker, a former Scotland Yard detective, has learned a thing or two about how to negotiate and communicate in a crisis. He shares how to apply those lessons to the difficult conversations we all have in our everyday lives in his book Order Out of Chaos: Win Every Negotiation, Thrive in Adversity, and Become a World-Class Communicator, and we talk about his tips on today's show.Scott and I discuss what a "red center" means in a kidnap-for-ransom scenario and how to create one in your personal life, the "immediate action drill" that can help you stay in that red center, the importance of separating the decision-maker from the communicator in a negotiation and having a "battle rhythm," why you don't give hostage takers the money they ask for right away and how to structure a negotiation instead, and more.Resources Related to the PodcastAoM Article: The 7 Habits — Seek First to Understand, Then to Be UnderstoodAoM Podcast #648: Lessons in Building Rapport from Experts in Terrorist InterrogationAoM Podcast #234: Haggling and Deal Making Advice From a FBI Hostage NegotiatorBox breathingPhysiological sighConnect With Scott WalkerScott's website

Today we take a look at statements made by Tim Keller about systemic injustice and white privilege. We also play clips from an influential Christian author that suggests that 2/3rds of professing white Christians are following a false religion of whiteness. Cooper Stuff attempts to explain how Keller was the tip of the spear that pushed secular social justice, critical whiteness studies, and CRT-lite into the church.  ► Buy John's new book, Awake & Alive to Truth: Finding Truth in the Chaos of a Relativistic World http://www.johnlcooper.com/awake ► Subscribe to the podcast: www.johnlcooper.com  Apple: http://bit.ly/cooperstuff  Spotify: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffspotify  CastBox: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffcast ► Connect with John L.
