Presenting a lecture by Dr. Daniel Krebs, titled "From Trenton to Carlisle: Hessian Soldiers in American Hands, 1776-1778."The American Revolution was a complex conflict involving soldiers from across Europe, including thousands of German troops hired by the British Crown. Dr. Krebs' lecture will delve into the often-overlooked experiences of these Hessian soldiers who were captured during the pivotal early years of the war.Dr. Krebs is a leading expert on the American Revolution and his engaging presentation style and meticulous research promise an insightful and thought-provoking exploration of this fascinating chapter in American history.

Rainy Days Goes Best with Dry Cider in the Barrel Room Walking into the barrel room at Oliver's Cider and Perry Company, you might think you know what to expect. But surrounded by whitewashed stone walls, standing beneath the old Hessian sacking floor, and facing rows of aging barrels, I quickly realized this wasn't just a cidery—it's a living, breathing creative space for cider making. Tom Oliver sources fruit both from his farm and from local orchards across Herefordshire. This isn't an estate cidery where everything is grown on-site—but what sets Oliver's cider and perry apart is Tom himself. A master blender with an instinct for balance, he brings character to every bottle. And while the farm may not produce every apple, it certainly imparts its own terroir through the land, the barns, and the quiet, purposeful rhythm of the work. Tom and Ria In this Cider Chat Blending Tradition with Innovation Tom is now experimenting with distillation: apple brandy, pommeau-style blends, and barrel-aged perry into brandy too! He's careful with naming, refusing to call something a “Pommeau” unless it honors French tradition. Barrels sourced from rum, sherry, port, bourbon, and white wine shape each unique blend. Tasting in the Barrel Room In the barrel room We tasted perries straight from the barrel—some from single ancient trees, others blended with gin pears or red pear varieties. Each sip revealed: Confectionary sweetness Banana, melon, pineapple notes Mellow malolactic fermentation This isn't a showpiece cidery as Tom puts it, “It's a working farm“, evolving from a hop yard and now cider. Tom calls it “just a part of the agricultural calendar.” No pretense, just purpose. Tom Oliver straddles the line between tradition and experimentation with ease. Whether it's a single-varietal showcase or a spirit-kissed blend, the goal remains the same: make cider that speaks of time, place, and people. Contact info for Oliver's Cider and Perry Co.

Learn how by mid-December, 1776, the American Revolution was in desperate straits.  Explore that after a series of defeats, the American Army had retreated through New Jersey and was stationed in Pennsylvania — with the British Army across the Delaware River. The Continental Army was on the verge of utter collapse. Overconfident, the British went into Winter Quarters.  Congress gave George Washington enormous authority, and Washington used the lull in fighting and his new power to reorganize and strengthen his troops.  Washington and his officers designed a daring attack on Hessian forces in Trenton, New Jersey. Before the battle, Washington inspired the troops through the reading of Thomas Paine's American Crisis. Follow Washington's troops through the winter storm, the crossing of the nearly frozen Delaware River, an arduous march, and the pitched battle. The fate of the new nation depends on it. Through divine intervention, Washington was able to mount a surprise attack on the hated Hessian troops in Trenton, winning an improbable victory, which became a critical turning point in the war.

In this episode of The Professor Liberty Podcast, Mr. Palumbo takes us back to December of 1776, a time when the American Revolution seemed on the brink of collapse. With General George Washington's army suffering devastating losses, low morale, and dwindling supplies, the Continental Army appeared to be on the verge of disintegration. But Washington, faced with mounting pressure, made a bold and daring decision that would turn the tide of the war—crossing the treacherous Delaware River to launch a surprise attack on the Hessian forces in Trenton, New Jersey.

According to Adam Zurn, the Executive Director of Uncharted Lancaster, America's first Christmas tree was documented in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. “Believe it or not, it probably wasn't the first Christmas tree here in America, but it's definitely the first documented Christmas tree. Probably the people who first saw Christmas trees here in the United States were the guards in Carlisle guarding Hessian troops who were mercenaries the time during the Revolutionary War.” While the Germans were in America fighting the war, they brought the idea of Christmas tree's and were allowed to decorate their barracks with them. “Believe it or not, the first recorded example of a Christmas tree is in 1821 by this Matthias, Zahm and in his 1821 diary he records this entry, and I quote Sally & our Thos was out for Christmas Trees on the hill at Kendricks sawmill. And so there we have this documented proof of this first, you know, Christmas tree. And they were here in Lancaster County. So, a neat little claim to fame here for our area.” It is unlikely that the first actual Christmas tree was in Lancaster County, let alone the united states, however it is the earliest recorded example of one.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As November approaches, two near opposites clash for the nation's highest office. It's Ven Hess, firebrand populist breaking all the old rules, known as "The Hessian" for his intimidating tactics on the pitcher's mound, versus Democrat Alec Maynard, an African American Admiral with his own flaws but who offers the nation at least some hope of normalcy. Pete Vankov, a political operative known as the "Dark Angel" because of his reputation for winning at all costs, spearheads the Hess campaign. Meanwhile, an estranged colleague, David Gruber, together with The Globe's political reporter, Jane Berglund, devises a plan to thwart Vankov's march towards a dirty and dangerous victory. Who wins? With Guile, veteran political strategist Craig Snyder has written a thriller exposing the dark underbelly of American politics, a novel rich in suspense and intrigue that will have readers turning its pages quickly in rueful anticipation of the next election.

It's pretty scary on the podcast this week, although it's nothing to do with Halloween, and rather more to do with the Germany's Women's Football Team having something of a horror story against Australia this week. Luckily for us, Producer Simon was in attendance, and he brings us all the gory details.Slightly less scary, though no less controversial, is the debate around Daylight Savings Time in Germany. As the clocks go back once again, The Hessian teachers' association is less than pleased about it. We discuss why, and whether it's finally time to stop changing the clocks.We also look at plans for surviving apocalypse as an entrepreneur starts selling bunkers using cryptocurrency, and we find out why the secret ingredient of the a No.40 Pizza in Düsseldorf led to a police raid.

Zo is on his own on this trip to a sleepy town in the Hudson highlands known as Sleepy Hollow. The town is quaint and the people are polite. They are, however, most unnerved as there are a series of grizzly murders that are taking place that no one seems to be able to stop. From New York City an enterprising fellow arrives with the most peculiar techniques that he intends to use to uncover the culprit. The thing of it is: the locals already know who's responsible for chopping off the heads of various members of their community. They say that it's a headless Hessian soldier on horseback. Episode Segment Time Stamps  Opening Credits . . . . . . 00:03:14Favorite Parts . . . . . . . . 00:21:35Trivia . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .00:37:43Critics' Thoughts . . . . . 00:44:32 Please leave a comment, suggestion or question on our social media: Back Look Cinema: The Podcast Links:Website: www.backlookcinema.comEmail: fanmail@backlookcinema.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@backlookcinemaTwitter: https://twitter.com/backlookcinemaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BackLookCinemaInstagram: https://instagram.com/backlookcinemaThreads: https://www.threads.net/@backlookcinemaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@backlookcinemaTwitch https://www.twitch.tv/backlookcinemaBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/backlookcinema.bsky.socialMastodon: https://mstdn.party/@backlookcinemaBack Look Cinema Merch at Teespring.comBack Look Cinema Merch at Teepublic.com Again, thanks for listening.

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: The Hessian rank bounds the learning coefficient, published by Lucius Bushnaq on August 9, 2024 on LessWrong. TL;DR: In a neural network with d parameters, the (local) learning coefficient λ can be upper and lower bounded by the rank of the network's Hessian d1: d12λd12+dd13. The lower bound is a known result. The upper bound is a claim by me, and this post contains the proof for it.[1] If you find any problems, do point them out. Introduction The learning coefficient λ is a measure of loss basin volume and network complexity. You can think of it sort of like an effective parameter count of the model. Simpler models that do less stuff have smaller λ. Calculating λ for real networks people actually use is a pain. My hope is that these bounds help make estimating it a bit easier. In a network with d parameters, the learning coefficient is always a number 0λd2. An existing result in the literature says that if you've calculated the rank of the network's Hessian d1,[2] you get a tighter lower bound d12λ. I claim that we can also get a tighter upper bound λd12+dd13, where dd1 will be the dimension of the Hessian kernel, meaning the number of zero eigenvalues it has.[3] This is neat because it means we can get some idea of how large λ is just with linear algebra. All we need to know is how many zero eigenvalues the Hessian has.[4] Singular Learning Theory introductions often stress that just looking at the Hessian isn't enough to measure basin volume correctly. But here we see that if you do it right, the Hessian eigenspectrum can give you a pretty good idea of how large λ is. Especially if there aren't that many zero eigenvalues. Intuitively, the lower bound works because a direction in the parameters w that isn't free to vary to second order in the Taylor expansion won't become any more free to vary if you pile on a bunch of higher order terms. The Second order term strictly dominates the higher order ones, they can't cancel it out. Qualitatively speaking, the upper bound works for the same reason. The higher order terms in the Taylor expansion of the loss can only matter so much. The Hessian is the leading term, so it can impact λ the most, adding 12 per Hessian rank to it. The remaining O(w3) terms can only add up to 13 for the remaining directions. The proof for the upper bound will just be a small modification of the proof for theorem 7.2 on pages 220 and 221 of Algebraic Geometry and Statistical Learning Theory. Maybe read that first if you want more technical context. Some words on notation In the following, I'll mostly stick to the notation and conventions of the book Algebraic Geometry and Statistical Learning Theory. You can read about all the definitions there. I'm too lazy to reproduce them all. To give some very rough context, K(w) is sort of like the 'loss' at parameter configuration w, φ(w) is our prior over parameters, and Z(n) is the partition function after updating on n data points.[5] Theorem: Let WRd be the set of parameters of the model. If there exists an open set UW such that {wU:K(w)=0,φ(w)>0} is not an empty set, and we define d1= rank(H) as the rank of the Hessian H at a w0U Hi,j=2K(w)wiwj|w=w0 with wi,wj elements of some orthonormal basis {w1,…wd} of Rd, then λd12+dd13. Proof: We can assume w0=0 without loss of generality. If ϵ1,ϵ2 are sufficiently small constants, Z(n)=exp(nK(w))φ(w)dw|w(1)|ϵ1,|w(2)|ϵ2exp(nK(w))φ(w)dw. Here, w(1)W/ker(H),w(2)ker(H). If we pick {w1,…wd} to be the Hessian eigenbasis, then for sufficiently small |w|>0 K(w)=12d1i,i=1Hi,iw(1)iw(1)i+O(|w|3) . Hence Z(n)|w(1)|ϵ1,|w(2)|ϵ2exp{n2d1iHi,iw(1)iw(1)inO(|w|3)}φ(w)dw. Transforming w'(1)=n12w(1),w'(2)=n13w(2), we obtain Z(n)nd12ndd13|w'(1)|1,|w'(2)|1exp{12d1iHi,iw'(1)iw'(1)i+O(|w'|3)}φ(w'(1)n12,w'(2)n13)dw'(1)dw'(2). Rearranging gives Z(n)nd12+dd13|w'|1exp{12d1i=1Hi,iw'(1)iw'(...

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: Degeneracies are sticky for SGD, published by Guillaume Corlouer on June 16, 2024 on The AI Alignment Forum. Introduction Singular learning theory (SLT) is a theory of learning dynamics in Bayesian statistical models. It has been argued that SLT could provide insights into the training dynamics of deep neural networks. However, a theory of deep learning inspired by SLT is still lacking. In particular it seems important to have a better understanding of the relevance of SLT insights to stochastic gradient descent (SGD) - the paradigmatic deep learning optimization algorithm. We explore how the degeneracies[1] of toy, low dimensional loss landscapes affect the dynamics of stochastic gradient descent (SGD).[2] We also investigate the hypothesis that the set of parameters selected by SGD after a large number of gradient steps on a degenerate landscape is distributed like the Bayesian posterior at low temperature (i.e., in the large sample limit). We do so by running SGD on 1D and 2D loss landscapes with minima of varying degrees of degeneracy. While researchers experienced with SLT are aware of differences between SGD and Bayesian inference, we want to understand the influence of degeneracies on SGD with more precision and have specific examples where SGD dynamics and Bayesian inference can differ. Main takeaways Degeneracies influence SGD dynamics in two ways: (1) Convergence to a critical point is slower, the more degenerate the critical point is; (2) On a (partially) degenerate manifold, SGD preferentially escapes along non-degenerate directions. If all directions are degenerate, then we empirically observe that SGD is "stuck" To explain our observations, we show that, for our models, SGD noise covariance is proportional to the Hessian in the neighborhood of a critical point of the loss Thus SGD noise covariance goes faster to zero along more degenerate directions, to leading order in the neighborhood of a critical point Qualitatively we observe that the concentration of the end-of-training distribution of parameters sampled from a set of SGD trajectories sometimes differ from the Bayesian posterior as predicted by SLT because of: The hyperparameters such as the learning rate The number of orthogonal degenerate directions The degree of degeneracy in the neighborhood of a minimum Terminology and notation We advise the reader to skip this section and come back to it if notation or terminology is confusing. Consider a sequence of n input-output pairs (xi,yi)1in. We can think of xi as input data to a deep learning model (e.g., a picture, or a token) and yi as an output that model is trying to learn (e.g., whether the picture represents a cat or a dog, or a what the next token is). A deep learning model may be represented as a function y=f(w,x), where wΩ is a point in a parameter space Ω. The one-sample loss function, noted li(w):=12(yif(w,xi))2 (1in), is a measure of how good the model parametrized by w is a predicting the output yi on input xi. The empirical loss over n samples is noted ln(w):=1nni=1li(w). Noting q(x,y) the probability density function of input-output pairs, the theoretical loss (or the potential) writes l(w)=Eq[ln(w)].[4] The loss landscape is the manifold associated with the theoretical loss function wl(w). A point w is a critical point if the gradient of the theoretical loss is 0 at w i.e. l(w)=0. A critical point w is degenerate if the Hessian of the loss H(w):=2l(w) has at least one 0 eigenvalue at w. An eigenvector u of H with zero eigenvalue is a degenerate direction. The local learning coefficient λ(w) measures the greatest amount of degeneracy of a model around a critical point w. For the purpose of this work, if locally l(w=(w1,w2))(w1w1)2k1(w2w2)2k2 then the local learning coefficient is given by λ(w)=min(1k1,1k2). We say that a critical point...

The rebellion nearly ended in December 1776, with Washington's army beaten in New York and chased across New Jersey, which the enemy then garrisoned with Hessian troops in Trenton to keep an eye on Washington's dwindling forces across the Delaware.  Washington now had fewer than 3000 men, and their enlistments would expire at the end of the year.  In this moment of crisis, Washington devised a plan.  "There is a natural firmness in some minds," Thomas Paine wrote, "which cannot be unlocked by trifles, but which, when unlocked, discovers a cabinet of fortitude."  We discuss what was in that cabinet of fortitude unlocked in December 1776.

Here are some historical events that occurred on December 26th:1776: American Revolutionary War: The Battle of Trenton took place, where George Washington's army successfully crossed the icy Delaware River to launch a surprise attack on the Hessian forces in Trenton, New Jersey.1862: American Civil War: The Battle of Chickasaw Bayou began during the Union's attempt to capture Vicksburg, Mississippi.1898: Marie and Pierre Curie announced the discovery of radium, a radioactive element.1941: World War II: Winston Churchill became the first British Prime Minister to address a joint session of the United States Congress.1972: Former President Harry S. Truman died in Kansas City, Missouri, at the age of 88.1974: The Beatles' song "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" by John Lennon and Yoko Ono was released in the United States.1991: The Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union formally dissolved the country and the USSR was officially discontinued.2004: A massive earthquake and tsunami struck the Indian Ocean, causing widespread devastation and killing over 230,000 people in 14 countries.2013: Former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Benazir Bhutto's, 6th death anniversary.Please note that historical events may vary in significance, and the list provided is not exhaustive.Podcast Website:https://atozenglishpodcast.com/a-to-z-this-day-in-world-history-december-26th/Social Media:WeChat account ID: atozenglishpodcastFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/671098974684413/Tik Tok:@atozenglish1Instagram:@atozenglish22Twitter:@atozenglish22A to Z Facebook Page:https://www.facebook.com/theatozenglishpodcastCheck out our You Tube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCds7JR-5dbarBfas4Ve4h8ADonate to the show: https://app.redcircle.com/shows/9472af5c-8580-45e1-b0dd-ff211db08a90/donationsRobin and Jack started a new You Tube channel called English Word Master.

Learn how by mid-December, 1776, the American Revolution was in desperate straits.  Explore that after a series of defeats, the American Army had retreated through New Jersey and was stationed in Pennsylvania — with the British Army across the Delaware River. The Continental Army was on the verge of utter collapse. Overconfident, the British went into Winter Quarters.  Congress gave George Washington enormous authority, and Washington used the lull in fighting and his new power to reorganize and strengthen his troops.  Washington and his officers designed a daring attack on Hessian forces in Trenton, New Jersey. Before the battle, Washington inspired the troops through the reading of Thomas Paine's American Crisis. Follow Washington's troops through the winter storm, the crossing of the nearly frozen Delaware River, an arduous march, and the pitched battle. The fate of the new nation depends on it. Through divine intervention, Washington was able to mount a surprise attack on the hated Hessian troops in Trenton, winning an improbable victory, which became a critical turning point in the war.

“These are the times that try men's souls.” This is the story of a Christmas Miracle at Trenton, New Jersey. George Washington's army is exhausted, disheartened, battered, starving, freezing–all but broken. Sir William Howe's mighty British Army has chased these American soldiers out of New York, New Jersey, and now, across the ice-filled Delaware River into Pennsylvania. Worse still for the Patriots, the British have captured Continental General General Charles Lee and scared Congress into fleeing Philadelphia. The Revolution appears all but defeated. But George isn't ready to accept defeat. The Founding Father has made a list, checked it twice, and decided that the Hessian troops in Trenton have been naughty … neither patriot nor loyalist will soon forget Christmas of 1776. ___ 2 Ways to dive deeper into History That Doesn't Suck Join our growing facebook community Become part of the HTDS Patreon family Learn more about your ad choices.

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: Neural uncertainty estimation for alignment, published by Charlie Steiner on December 5, 2023 on The AI Alignment Forum. Introduction Suppose you've built some AI model of human values. You input a situation, and it spits out a goodness rating. You might want to ask: "What are the error bars on this goodness rating?" In addition to it just being nice to know error bars, an uncertainty estimate can also be useful inside the AI: guiding active learning[1], correcting for the optimizer's curse[2], or doing out-of-distribution detection[3]. I recently got into the uncertainty estimation literature for neural networks (NNs) for a pet reason: I think it would be useful for alignment to quantify the domain of validity of an AI's latent features. If we point an AI at some concept in its world-model, optimizing for realizations of that concept can go wrong by pushing that concept outside its domain of validity. But just keep thoughts of alignment in your back pocket for now. This post is primarily a survey of the uncertainty estimation literature, interspersed with my own takes. The Bayesian neural network picture The Bayesian NN picture is the great granddaddy of basically every uncertainty estimation method for NNs, so it's appropriate to start here. The picture is simple. You start with a prior distribution over parameters. Your training data is evidence, and after training on it you get an updated distribution over parameters. Given an input, you calculate a distribution over outputs by propagating the input through the Bayesian neural network. This would all be very proper and irrelevant ("Sure, let me just update my 2trilliondimensional joint distribution over all the parameters of the model"), except for the fact that actually training NNs does kind of work this way. If you use a log likelihood loss and L2 regularization, the parameters that minimize loss will be at the peak of the distribution that a Bayesian NN would have, if your prior on the parameters was a Gaussian[4][5]. This is because of a bridge between the loss landscape and parameter uncertainty. Bayes's rule says P(parameters|dataset)=P(parameters)P(dataset|parameters)/P(dataset). Here P(parameters|dataset)is your posterior distribution you want to estimate, and P(parameters)P(dataset|parameters) is the exponential of the loss[6]. This lends itself to physics metaphors like "the distribution of parameters is a Boltzmann distribution sitting at the bottom of the loss basin." Empirically, calculating the uncertainty of a neural net by pretending it's adhering to the Bayesian NN picture works so well that one nice paper on ensemble methods[7] called it "ground truth." Of course to actually compute anything here you have to make approximations, and if you make the quick and dirty approximations (e.g. pretend you can find the shape of the loss basin from the Hessian) you get bad results[8], but people are doing clever things with Monte Carlo methods these days[9], and they find that better approximations to the Bayesian NN calculation get better results. But doing Monte Carlo traversal of the loss landscape is expensive. For a technique to apply at scale, it must impose only a small multiplier on cost to run the model, and if you want it to become ubiquitous the cost it imposes must be truly tiny. Ensembles A quite different approach to uncertainty is ensembles[10]. Just train a dozen-ish models, ask them for their recommendations, and estimate uncertainty from the spread. The dozen-times cost multiplier on everything is steep, but if you're querying the model a lot it's cheaper than Monte Carlo estimation of the loss landscape. Ensembling is theoretically straightforward. You don't need to pretend the model is trained to convergence, you don't need to train specifically for predictive loss, you don't even need...

A behind-the-scenes look at the making of The Lesser Dead, featuring the team of directors, producers, and writers who helped create the series. In this episode, we explore the character of The Hessian, played by Danny Huston.

In late December 1776, the American War of Independence appeared tobe on its last legs. General George Washington's continental forces hadbeen reduced to a shadow of their former strength, the British Armyhad chased them across the Delaware River into Pennsylvania, andenlistments for many of the rank and file would be up by month's end.Desperate times call for desperate measures, however, and GeorgeWashington responded to this crisis with astonishing audacity. OnChristmas night 1776, he recrossed the Delaware as a nor'easterchurned up the coast, burying his small detachment under howlingsheets of snow and ice. Undaunted, they attacked a Hessian brigade atTrenton, New Jersey, taking the German auxiliaries by completesurprise. Then, only three days later, Washington struck again, crossingthe Delaware, slipping away from the British at Trenton, and attackingthe Redcoats at Princeton—to their utter astonishment. The British, now back on their heels, retreated toward New Brunswickas Washington's reinvigorated force followed them north into Jersey.Over the next eight months, Washington's continentals and the statemilitias of New Jersey would go head-to-head with the British in amultitude of small-scale actions and large-scale battles, eventuallyforcing the British to flee New Jersey by sea. In this narrative of the American War of Independence, today's guest Jim Stempel, author of “The Enemy Harassed: Washington's New Jersey Campaign of 1777” brings to life one of the most violent, courageous, yet virtually forgotten periods of the Revolutionary War.

America is changing, and it looks like the changes aren't creating a prosperous America. Tim Barton, president of WallBuilders, joins the podcast to discuss what made America great and how America is losing the moral foundation on which it was built. Can America continue down the path of immorality and still be considered good? Can you preserve the Constitution without having morals? Let us remember what made America great as Tim brings us the story of George Washington and the Battle of Trenton, telling how God worked with and helped Washington's army defeat a garrison of Hessian mercenaries. Another great American Christmas story comes from Christmas in 1944 as General George Patton was leading his men during the Battle of the Bulge, taking the Third U.S. Army to the north and counterattacking against the German flank. The story was included in a letter he wrote to his mom, which was then published in 1947. Can the military today make those same decisions and trust God? Sara Gonzales, BlazeTV host and Twitter expert, joins to give us the biggest story from the weekend as Elon Musk releases more “Twitter Files.” What is Elon's endgame here?
