Podcast appearances and mentions of Jamie Harris

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: Brief Updates on EAIF, published by hbesceli on September 12, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. I'm Harri, a Fund Manager at EAIF. This post includes some brief updates on EAIF, an overview of what I'm working on there, and some reflections. Tl;dr Main updates on EAIF: Alejandro Ortega, Jamie Harris and I have joined the team We're happy with our principles-first focus, and aren't currently planning on further clarifying this at the moment Things that I'm working on: My main focus is ensuring we're meeting deadlines for responding to applicants We're conducting a retrospective evaluation of our past grants I'm thinking about how we can get better at evaluating applications I'm aiming to get a better understanding of what it is for EA to thrive Alejandro Ortega, Jamie Harris and I have joined the team In February 2024, the people working at EAIF were Caleb Parikh and Tom Barnes. Since then Alejandro Ortega, Jamie Harris and I have all joined the team. Caleb is the EA Funds Project Lead, and the EAIF Chair. Alejandro, Jamie and Tom are all Fund Managers. They work at ~5h/w on EAIF and largely focus on assessing incoming applications. I'm also a Fund Manager and work at EAIF at ~20h/w, and am the main person with the capacity to focus on EAIF work beyond assessing applications, though I do a bunch of that too. (Whilst Caleb is still currently the EAIF Chair, I've been taking on more of the Chair responsibilities over time. There's a good chance that I'll take on this role fully soon but we haven't decided on this yet) We're happy with our principles-first focus, and aren't currently planning on further clarifying this at the moment In December 2023 EAIF posted EA Infrastructure Fund's Plan to Focus on Principles-First EA, which included a tentative plan for next steps such as 'Scope out vision more and define metrics more clearly'. We don't have more updates on this vision at the moment, and aren't currently prioritising further work on it. I'm a bit conflicted about this. On the one hand, I think one of the main challenges for EAIF is knowing what kind of grantmaking to focus on, and I expect having a more developed vision to help with that. I also expect it to make it clearer for people whether it's something they want to donate to. On the other hand, I think that the post does a good job of describing our current focus, and I'm more excited on us spending marginal capacity on a) getting a better concrete sense of what the EA community needs and what opportunities there are, and b) doing more active grantmaking related to this. I think that doing these things will both mean that we're making more valuable grants, and will help us more in terms of getting clarity on our focus. *CEA recently published a post on their "principles-first" approach to EA. I expect there's a lot of similarities between this and EAIF's focus, though we're not committed to this vision specifically. My main focus is ensuring we're meeting deadlines for responding to applicants My main aim at the moment is ensuring that we're meeting commitments to applicants in terms of responding to them with timely decisions. This is something EAIF has struggled with historically, and something we think it's important we're doing well. A big focus of my work so far with EAIF has been redesigning parts of the evaluation process so that we're meeting these commitments. We're conducting a retrospective evaluation of EAIF's past grants Alex Barry is working with EAIF to conduct a retrospective evaluation of EAIFs grants, and we're planning on making a version of this public. We expect this to focus on answering: How valuable are the grants? What does the distribution of the value of the grants look like? What are the concrete outcomes that have happened as a result of the grants? What should EAIF be doing dif...

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: Lessons from two years of talent search pilots, published by Jamie Harris on May 10, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Tl;dr: Leaf supports exceptional teenagers to explore how they can do the most good. We've run 3 residential programmes and 4 different types of online fellowship: general to having high positive impact, focused on university decision-making, cause-specific, and subject-specific. I'm excited about the online programmes (especially subject-specific) as being cost-effective and highly scalable. I plan to actually scale these! You might be able to help through: Advising Leaf Being a facilitator or guest speaker Working for Leaf later this year Funding Leaf There are lots of other mini insights and updates, summarised below. I wrote this post quickly, adapting from an existing internal doc, so that I could do an '80:20' version of sharing insights. Please message me if you'd like access to the original doc with lots more detail (it's 50 pages, mostly of summary tables of metrics I track), evidence, and reasoning transparency. Please briefly explain who you are and why you're interested in access. Background on Leaf I'm Managing Director of Leaf; we support exceptional teenagers to explore how they can best help others, save lives, or change the course of history. In conventional educational systems, teenagers don't have support or mentorship to explore how they can do good. The incentives and encouragement for smart teens are mostly about getting into uni and demonstrating their intelligence, not thinking through how to use those gifts. And yet they're already making decisions relevant to doing good, like what subjects to study at university, what sort of internships to get or project to pursue, and just which problems to focus on finding out more about. Meanwhile, many of the world's most pressing problems are constrained by not having access to enough talented applicants and entrepreneurs. There's a need to ensure that smart students explore important and neglected problems, rather than just defaulting to family- or status-driven careers, or tackling the problems made most salient to them through the media. Leaf supports these exceptional teenagers to start exploring, make better decisions and get on a high-impact trajectory. Programmes summary Programme Dates Motivation and goals Key lessons Residential pilot, 2021: "Building a Better Future" (Not me) July to October 2021 (active October 2021) I didn't set this up so can't really comment, but I think it was similar to the reasons here. Students seemed brighter and more engaged with the content than I expected. Turns out that you can get really high quality applicants to programmes if you contact lots of different places, even with cold outreach methods, no demonstrable track record, and a very MVP website with stock images. The previous team contacted ~200 schools and received ~70 applications, of which they accepted 16. There was fuller attendance than I expected - all 16 applicants offered a place made it to the residential, whereas I had expected closer to ~50% drop out, as often happens with free events. (Also it seemed plausibly my comparative advantage given my experience in teaching and talent search / community building.) Summer residential, 2022: "Building a Better Future, 2022" February to September 2022 (active August 2022) with some subsequent follow-up and strategic planning Try out slightly scaling what seemed like a successful model for talent search and community building. I took on Leaf, handed over from Alex Holness-Tofts; it was partly just about replicating the success of the pilot in the summer without doing anything too ambitious. Managed to identify a reasonably promising group of young people, and successfully encouraged some engagement with effective altruism and longtermi...

In this haunting and enigmatic short story by Shirley Jackson, an unnamed woman eagerly awaits her wedding day, only to find herself plunged into a nightmarish search for her missing fiancé, Jamie Harris. As she navigates the city streets and encounters a cast of indifferent, jaded characters, the protagonist's quest for love and connection takes on an increasingly surreal and desperate edge. Through masterful prose and subtle psychological insight, Jackson weaves a tale that blurs the lines between reality and illusion, exposing the fragility of human relationships and the ways in which societal expectations can shape and distort our perceptions. "The Daemon Lover" is a masterpiece of ambiguity and unease that will leave listeners pondering the nature of identity, desire, and the elusive search for meaning in a world that often feels isolating and uncertain. Join me as we delve into the unsettling depths of Shirley Jackson's unforgettable story. #ShirleyJackson #TheDaemonLover #PsychologicalHorror #LiteraryFiction #ShortStory #Storytelling #AudioNarration #UncannyTales #SurrealFiction #HumanCondition 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: Reasons for optimism about measuring malevolence to tackle x- and s-risks, published by Jamie Harris on April 2, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Reducing the influence of malevolent actors seems useful for reducing existential risks (x-risks) and risks of astronomical suffering (s-risks). One promising strategy for doing this is to develop manipulation-proof measures of malevolence. I think better measures would be useful because: We could use them with various high-leverage groups, like politicians or AGI lab staff. We could use them flexibly (for information-only purposes) or with hard cutoffs. We could use them in initial selection stages, before promotions, or during reviews. We could spread them more widely via HR companies or personal genomics companies. We could use small improvements in measurements to secure early adopters. I think we can make progress on developing and using them because: It's neglected, so there will be low-hanging fruit There's historical precedent for tests and screening We can test on EA orgs Progress might be profitable The cause area has mainstream potential So let's get started on some concrete research! Context ~4 years ago, David Althaus and Tobias Baumann posted about the impact potential of "Reducing long-term risks from malevolent actors". They argued that: Dictators who exhibited highly narcissistic, psychopathic, or sadistic traits were involved in some of the greatest catastrophes in human history. Malevolent individuals in positions of power could negatively affect humanity's long-term trajectory by, for example, exacerbating international conflict or other broad risk factors. Malevolent humans with access to advanced technology - such as whole brain emulation or other forms of transformative AI - could cause serious existential risks and suffering risks… Further work on reducing malevolence would be valuable from many moral perspectives and constitutes a promising focus area for longtermist EAs. I and many others were impressed with the post. It got lots of upvotes on the EA Forum and 80,000 Hours listed it as an area that they'd be "equally excited to see some of our readers… pursue" as their list of the most pressing world problems. But I haven't seen much progress on the topic since. One of the main categories of interventions that Althaus and Baumann proposed was "The development of manipulation-proof measures of malevolence… [which] could be used to screen for malevolent humans in high-impact settings, such as heads of government or CEOs." Anecdotally, I've encountered scepticism that this would be either tractable or particularly useful, which surprised me. I seem to be more optimistic than anyone I've spoken to about it, so I'm writing up some thoughts explaining my intuitions. My research has historically been of the form: "assuming we think X is good, how do we make X happen?" This post is in a similar vein, except it's more 'initial braindump' than 'research'. It's more focused on steelmanning the case for than coming to a balanced, overall assessment. I think better measures would be useful We could use difficult-to-game measures of malevolence with various high-leverage groups: Political candidates Civil servants and others involved in the policy process Staff at A(G)I labs Staff at organisations inspired by effective altruism. Some of these groups might be more tractable to focus on first, e.g. EA orgs. And we could test in less risky environments first, e.g. smaller AI companies before frontier labs, or bureaucratic policy positions before public-facing political roles. The measures could be binding or used flexibly, for information-only purposes. For example, in a hiring process, there could either be some malevolence threshold above which a candidate is rejected without question, or test(s) for malevol...

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: Empirical data on how teenagers hear about EA, published by Jamie Harris on November 30, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. How do people hear about and get involved in effective altruism (EA)? We have good data about this for active community members who fill out the EA survey, but it's harder to get data on people earlier in their exploration or people in demographic groups that have less outreach and services specifically for them. Here, I share some data from 63 smart, curious, and altruistic UK teenagers who participated in programmes run by myself (aka Leaf) who reported to have heard of effective altruism before. The key results and takeaways: The most common places that people first or primarily heard about EA seem to be Leaf itself, Non-Trivial, and school - none of these categories show up as prominently on the EA survey. Many people heard about EA from multiple sources. Using a more permissive counting system, the most common sources people mentioned at least briefly were Leaf and hearing from a friend. (More tentative) 80,000 Hours, LessWrong, and podcasts seem to have been less important for this group than you might expect from having seen the EA survey. Methodology & context This information comes from 15-18 year olds in the UK who were offered a place on one of two programmes by Leaf this year (2023): Changemakers Fellowship: One-week summer residential programme with follow-up mentorship to meet other changemakers tackling pressing social issues, and fast-track your progress towards making a major difference. Students of any and all subjects. History to shape history (for the better): 5-week online fellowship exploring how to use the lessons of history to make a positive impact and steer humanity onto a better path. History students. I advertised both of these programmes as for "smart, curious, and ambitiously altruistic" teenagers - effective altruism was not discussed on the programme landing pages but was highlighted for transparency on Leaf's " About" page and FAQ. After being offered a place on the programme, participants were sent a consent form, which included various other questions. The data in this post all comes from people who first answered "Yes" (out of "Yes", "No", or "Maybe") to the question "Before hearing about this programme, had you heard of the term 'effective altruism'?". Changemakers Fellowship History to shape history Applied 758 154 Filled out consent form 54 (7% of applicants) 66 (43% of applicants) Answered "Yes" to having heard about EA 36 (67% of respondents) 27 (41% of respondents) I then informally analysed free-text, qualitative responses to the question "If you had heard of effective altruism and/or longtermism before hearing about this programme, please describe in your own words how you heard about them or explored them." Applicants to the Changemakers Fellowship who hadn't participated in Leaf programmes previously were 28% white and 40% male. History to shape history applicants were 50% white, 27% male. All were aged 15-18 and live in the United Kingdom. This appendix contains: A table separating out results for the participants of the two programmes and providing one example of an answer from each type of category The full set of qualitative responses and my categorisations of them A table with info about how people heard about Leaf itself Results I categorised responses twice: "Primary" - I selected only one option from each response, prioritising whichever seemed to come chronologically first for them or (if this was unclear) seemed more important to their journey. "Permissive" - counting as many different things as they mentioned, however briefly, and using a more permissive standard for what counted as relevant as opposed to "NA". Category Primary Permissive Indirectly or earlier via Leaf 14 (22%) 18 (29%)...

Ahead of a colossal week at Newport County, with the Trust voting on a change to the club's ownership, one of the two prospective bidders has joined Jamie Harris on the pod.We've heard from Huw Jenkins in other media, but in a 1912 Exiles exclusive, Jon Pratt joins us to outline who exactly the investment partners are, why they've put an offer in, and the sort of value the owners can provide to the club.DISCLOSURE TIME: We have also reached out to the other bidding party directly - but this is an open invitation to come on the pod and chat with us. 1912Exiles is an impartial podcast, not affiliated with either bid, or the Trust. We do not have a stance on a preferred bidder or the vote next week - we merely want to discuss important issues about the club in a balanced way, as we can with the current owners of the club - the fans.As always, you can contact the show via Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn with any questions or comments.Our theme tune is Discoland, reproduced with permission of Tinty & The Bucket Hats.

After years of him asking us to call him on a Saturday evening, he decided to call us! An absolute delight to have Rob Phillips, one of the premier voices of Welsh football on BBC Radio Wales and BBC Wales Sport - and a 1912 Exiles listener at that - join Jamie Harris for a chat. A Newport-born boy, he shares stories about his time reporting on the club in the 80s; his interactions with the likes of Justin Edinburgh, Dave Boddy and Graham Westley; and in more recent years in the Flynn, Rowberry, and Coughlan tenures. He also shares stories from covering some of our biggest games in recent years, including having to stand on a box to commentate on the Great Escape finale, and a run-in with Justin Edinburgh's crystal ball.An enlightening, honest, and entertaining presenter, who leaves you feeling buoyed and optimistic, but mostly reminds you that it's just fun to watch football. (Rob, not Jamie.)We'll be back with some of our panel after next weekend's match against Sutton. Do send any feedback to us via Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn in the meantime.We also, as you may notice, have a new theme tune - a big thank you to Tinty & The Bucket Hats for giving us permission to feature their single Discoland.

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: Corporate campaigns work: a key learning for AI Safety, published by Jamie Harris on August 18, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Negotiations and pressure campaigns have proven effective at driving corporate change across industries and movements. I expect that AI safety/governance can learn from this! The basic idea: The runaway success of effective animal advocacy has been sweeping corporate reform Similar tactics have been successful across social movements GovAI to ??? to PauseAI: Corporate campaigns need an ecosystem of roles and tactics Possible next steps Pragmatic research: ask prioritisation, user interviews, and message testing Start learning by doing Work extensively with volunteers (and treat them like staff members) Moral trade: longtermist money for experienced campaigner secondments The runaway success of effective animal advocacy has been sweeping corporate reform Animal advocates, funded especially by Open Philanthropy and other EA sources, have achieved startling success in driving corporate change over the past ~decade. As Lewis Bollard, Senior Program Officer at Open Philanthropy, writes: A decade ago, most of the world's largest food corporations lacked even a basic farm animal welfare policy. Today, they almost all have one. That's thanks to advocates, who won about 3,000 new corporate policies in the last ten years. In 2015-18, as advocates secured cage-free pledges from almost all of the largest American and European retailers, fast food chains, and foodservice companies. Advocates then extended this work globally, securing major pledges from Brazil to Thailand. Most recently, advocates won the first global cage-free pledges from 150 multinationals, including the world's largest hotel chains and food manufacturers. A major question was whether these companies would follow through on their pledges. So far, almost 1,000 companies have - that's 88% of the companies that promised to go cage-free by the end of last year. Another 75% of the world's largest food companies are now publicly reporting on their progress in going cage-free. Some advocates establish professional relationships with companies and encourage them to introduce improvements. Others use petitions, protests, and PR pressure to push companies over the line. Almost everyone who investigates these campaigns thoroughly seems to conclude that they're exceptionally cost-effective at making real improvements for animals, at least in the short term. There are both ethical and strategic reasons why some animal advocates doubt that these kinds of incremental welfare tactics are a good idea, but I lean towards thinking that the indirect effects are neutral to positive, while the direct effects are robustly good. There are other promising tactics that animal advocates can use, but the track record and evidence base for corporate welfare campaigns is unusually strong. Of course, animal advocacy is different to AI Safety. But something that has been so successful in one context seems worth exploring seriously in others. And oh wait, it has worked in more than one context already. Similar tactics have been successful across social movements In my research into other social movements' histories, I found strong evidence that pressure tactics can be effective at changing companies' behaviour or disrupting their processes: US anti-abortion activists seem to have successfully disrupted the supply of abortion services and may have reduced abortion rates. Anti-death penalty activists successfully disrupted the supply of lethal injection drugs. Pressure campaigns likely accelerated Starbucks and other chains' participation in Fair Trade certification schemes. Prison riots and strikes seem to have encouraged the creation of new procedures and rules for prisoners. There are lots of caveats, concerns,...

We were planning on having a quiet summer chatting about football shirts, but off-field business put paid to that. It's pre-season so Triallist 1 and Triallist 2 are making their debuts on the pod. Jamie Harris is joined by Dan Grace and Ieuan Ellis to discuss the latest rumblings around the future of the club's ownership, the surprise news that a David Buttress-led consortium has bought out the Dragons and Rodney Parade, and what we'd love to see happen (even if we might be dreaming...)There's still some room for transfer chat in what looks to be like a summer of relative upheaval.This is the third in our series of close-season content. Over the next few weeks we will bring you a chat with County in the Community and shine a spotlight on how Newport City are getting on down at Spytty Park.

Director/screenwriter Damian Harris & actor Jamie Harris sat down with journalist Patricia Danaher to discuss their documentary The Ghosts of Richard Harris, which examines the life of their father, the late great actor Richard Harris. They talk about growing up with him as a father, his love for songs and poetry, his lifelong dream to play rugby for Ireland, and more. 

Actor Jamie Harris (Carnival Row) started his career acting opposite Daniel Day Lewis and has since worked for directors Steven Spielberg, Christopher Nolan, Terrence Malick, and much much more.  He has had appearances on dozens of major television shows and you can see him regularly on Amazon's Carnival Row. Host Mike Pecci and Harris go deep into what it takes to work in both television and on film, and how an actor must adapt for each director that they work with. If you are trying to start a career as a working actor, there are loads of tips in this episode that would put you on the right path! --------------------------------- Go to inlovewiththeprocess.com to see trailers and clips! ►Jamie's IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0364807/ ► Jamie's Twitter: https://twitter.com/jamieharris ►Mike Pecci's IG: instagram.com/mikepecci ►ILWP's IG: instagram.com/inlovewiththeprocesspod -------------> Featuring Music from: ►L'Avenue The Episode is Sponsored by ► bokehrentals.com/ ► Puget Systems: puget.systems/go/ILWTP ► Fotodiox: fotodioxpro.com/ ► FujiFilm: fujifilm-x.com/ ► FujiFilm Shop: bit.ly/3Q2zTHw ► FujiFilm Refurb: bit.ly/3I9NLh4 ► FujiFilmX-H2S: bit.ly/3i22hN5

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: New open letter on AI — "Include Consciousness Research", published by Jamie Harris on April 28, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Quick context: The potential development of artificial sentience seems very important; it presents large, neglected, and potentially tractable risks. 80,000 Hours lists artificial sentience and suffering risks as "similarly pressing but less developed areas" than their top 8 "list of the most pressing world problems". There's some relevant work on this topic by Sentience Institute, Future of Humanity Institute, Center for Reducing Suffering, and others, but room for much more. Yesterday someone asked on the Forum "How come there isn't that much focus in EA on research into whether / when AI's are likely to be sentient?" A month ago, people got excited about the FLI open letter: "Pause giant AI experiments". Now, Researchers from the Association for Mathematical Consciousness Science have written an open letter emphasising the urgent need for accelerated research in consciousness science in light of rapid advancements in artificial intelligence. (I'm not affiliated with them in any way.) It's quite short, so I'll copy the full text here: This open letter is a wakeup call for the tech sector, the scientific community and society in general to take seriously the need to accelerate research in the field of consciousness science. As highlighted by the recent “Pause Giant AI Experiments” letter [1], we are living through an exciting and uncertain time in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and other brain-related technologies. The increasing computing power and capabilities of the new AI systems are accelerating at a pace that far exceeds our progress in understanding their capabilities and their “alignment” with human values. AI systems, including Large Language Models such as ChatGPT and Bard, are artificial neural networks inspired by neuronal architecture in the cortex of animal brains. In the near future, it is inevitable that such systems will be constructed to reproduce aspects of higher-level brain architecture and functioning. Indeed, it is no longer in the realm of science fiction to imagine AI systems having feelings and even human-level consciousness. Contemporary AI systems already display human traits recognised in Psychology, including evidence of Theory of Mind [2]. Furthermore, if achieving consciousness, AI systems would likely unveil a new array of capabilities that go far beyond what is expected even by those spearheading their development. AI systems have already been observed to exhibit unanticipated emergent properties [3]. These capabilities will change what AI can do, and what society can do to control, align and use such systems. In addition, consciousness would give AI a place in our moral landscape, which raises further ethical, legal, and political concerns. As AI develops, it is vital for the wider public, societal institutions and governing bodies to know whether and how AI systems can become conscious, to understand the implications thereof, and to effectively address the ethical, safety, and societal ramifications associated with artificial general intelligence (AGI). Science is starting to unlock the mystery of consciousness. Steady advances in recent years have brought us closer to defining and understanding consciousness and have established an expert international community of researchers in this field. There are over 30 models and theories of consciousness (MoCs and ToCs) in the peer-reviewed scientific literature, which already include some important pieces of the solution to the challenge of consciousness. To understand whether AI systems are, or can become, conscious, tools are needed that can be applied to artificial systems. In particular, science needs to further develop formal and mat...

For four generations, the Raiffe family toy designers and inventors used ingenuity and creativity to bring joy to others. In homage to this family tradition, Josh Raiffe carries out that mission in his own uniquely beautiful medium – hot glass. He recently caught the attention of both art and fashion lovers with his creative glass interpretation of the Coperni Swipe Bag – a modern handbag designed to adorn a subject's hand.  Coperni approached Raiffe to create a glass bag for a photo shoot. His original design was inspired by the painting of Saint Denis of Paris. Holding his head in his hands, a halo appears where St. Denis' head once rested. Raiffe wanted to create a glass handbag that would reveal a halo around the hand of its wearer, selecting colors to illuminate the hand as if to reveal a divinity from within.  Experimenting with glass color combinations, he applies an overlay to the inside and outside of each of his bags. The glass layers work in concert to create color combinations that are amplified through a coldworking process. The resulting objects have captured the attention of art and fashion enthusiasts alike, making the laborious process required to create them worthwhile.  Raiffe loves to create in a space where emotion and instinct supersede language and rationality. His pieces are first and foremost inspired by personal relationships and emotions such as love, conflict, anger or intimacy. He creates pieces that allow the owner/observer to feel something unique based on their own personal experiences. As an artist who celebrates self-expression, he explains: “I hope people use my work to express themselves by adorning their spaces and their bodies with objects that speak to them.” The son of Meryl Raiffe, owner of The Glass Underground, Warren, New Jersey, Josh Raiffe earned his BFA from Tyler School of Art, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. During that time, he worked for Belle Mead Hot Glass, Township, New Jersey, producing blown chandelier parts and taught classes at the Crefeld School in Philly. Upon graduating from Tyler, he received the Steve Stormer Award and the Penland Partner Scholarship, which allowed him to attend the Penland School of Craft, Bakersfield, North Carolina. He has also been fortunate enough to attend classes at Pilchuck Glass School, Stanwood, Washington, and the Bullseye Resource Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico.  Raiffe has taught glass classes at the Tyler School of Art, East Falls Glassworks in Philly, Brooklyn Glass and UrbanGlass in New York. He also assists with fabrication for glass artists Thaddeus Wolf, Rob Wynne, Mitchiko Sakano, Jamie Harris and Deborah Czeresko. As a Brooklyn-based designer, Raiffe has collaborated with DesignSpec Co-Founder Fiona Sanipelli to create original art installations for interiors projects. His work, which also includes lighting and neon, has been exhibited at Philadelphia locations such as the Philadelphia Art Alliance, the Sculpture Gym, and the Spirit of the Artist, and at 555 Gallery in Boston, Massachusetts. It was featured on the pages of New Glass Review 38, The Corning Museum of Glass' yearly survey of cutting-edge artworks made with glass. Raiffe is represented by Habatat Gallery, Piece Gallery, Strada and Hawk Gallery. Objects become memorable when they prompt an emotional response from their audience. Though Raiffe's glass work has been owned by celebrities such as Dojacat, Kylie Jenner, JT, Beth Dewoody, Olivia Song and Snoop Dog, he makes art to be enjoyed by the masses.

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 History of AI Rights Research, published by Jamie Harris on August 27, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Explanation for the Forum I previously created a formal literature review of research on "The Moral Consideration of Artificial Entities" and a brief, informal primer on "The Importance of Artificial Sentience." Tldr; seeking to expand the moral circle to include artificial sentient beings seems an important, neglected, and potentially tractable method for improving the long-term future and avoiding risks of astronomical suffering. I wanted to follow up on those projects with a history of relevant research that was not constrained by a formal, systematic methodology; this would allow me to dive into citation trails and really get a sense of how the field has developed. The report has a few goals: To contextualize and connect the relevant streams of research in order to encourage further contributions to this growing field, since field building seems like a promising stepping stone towards moral circle expansion. To better understand which levers can be pulled on to further increase interest in this specific topic. This could inform field-building work of Sentience Institute and other relevant actors. More generally, to provide a detailed case study of the development of a new research field. I hoped that this might be useful to other efforts to create new research fields inspired by the principles of effective altruism and longtermism, such as AI alignment, global priorities research, and welfare biology. The full report includes a detailed chronology of contributions. I expect this to be valuable for people seeking to reduce suffering risks via moral circle expansion, or otherwise exploring questions relating to artificial sentience/digital minds. However, to keep the forum post brief and focus on the most relevant parts for people seeking to encourage the development of other research fields, I've stripped out the "methodology" and "results" sections, plus the reference list and any footnotes. Please refer to the full report if you're interested in those bits! Thanks to Abby Sarfas, Ali Ladak, Elise Bohan, Jacy Reese Anthis, Thomas Moynihan , and Joshua Gellers for feedback. Summary This report documents the history of research on AI rights and other moral consideration of artificial entities. It highlights key intellectual influences on this literature as well as research and academic discussion addressing the topic more directly. We find that researchers addressing AI rights have often seemed to be unaware of the work of colleagues whose interests overlap with their own. Academic interest in this topic has grown substantially in recent years; this reflects wider trends in academic research, but it seems that certain influential publications, the gradual, accumulating ubiquity of AI and robotic technology, and relevant news events may all have encouraged increased academic interest in this specific topic. We suggest four levers that, if pulled on in the future, might increase interest further: the adoption of publication strategies similar to those of the most successful previous contributors; increased engagement with adjacent academic fields and debates; the creation of specialized journals, conferences, and research institutions; and more exploration of legal rights for artificial entities.

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: How moral progress happens: the decline of footbinding as a case study, published by rosehadshar on July 26, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Thanks to the following people for helping me with this post: JP Addison, Guive Assadi, Adam Bales, Max Dalton, Ben Garfinkel, Jamie Harris, Lizka Vaintrob. One question I am interested in is how moral progress happens, and particularly how far economic changes have driven moral progress (as opposed to political, cultural or other factors). I think this question has implications for things like: How much to push on value changes versus artificial meat when it comes to ending factory farming How to approach digital sentience Whether it would be an important, good thing to encourage widespread support for something like longtermism, or ‘future generations matter', or some other set of values How optimistic to be in general about investments in moral circle expansion, value changes, and moral campaigns It's obviously an extremely complex question, and I don't think it's the sort of inquiry where one should expect to find a robust, simple answer, even with a lifetime of work: ‘Moral progress' is subjective ‘Economic changes as opposed to political or cultural factors' is very reductive Historical causation is difficult to trace, and evidence is often sparse and messy I still think it's instructive to think about questions like this though, and to ground that thinking empirically by learning about relevant historical examples. One example that I have spent around a week looking into is the decline of footbinding in China in the twentieth century. In this post, I share my tentative understanding of why footbinding declined. In brief: Some scholars argue that footbinding declined because of the moral campaign that was waged against the practice. Others argue that footbinding declined because foreign textile imports undermined the value of girls' sedentary handwork, which in turn reduced the economic practicality of footbinding. I currently think that the moral campaign probably expedited the decline of footbinding by years or possibly decades, but that economic changes made it close to inevitable that the practice would decline in the first half of the twentieth century. Even if you don't buy the handwork argument, the rise of factory work some decades later would likely have killed off the practice. I also think that both the moral campaign and the economic changes were causally dependent on interactions with foreign powers. If China had been entirely isolated from foreign interactions (which it's worth remembering were often highly exploitative and invasive), I expect footbinding would have continued for decades longer than it did. What happened Footbinding was the practice of tightly binding young girls' feet so that the bones couldn't grow. Usually this involved actually breaking bones, and was very painful.[1] Footbinding was practised in China for around a millennium,[2] and was widespread for centuries.[3] In spite of this prevalence, it disappeared as a practice over a space of 50 years, and in many places in more like a generation.[4] In 1900, footbinding was still a majority practice in Han areas, by 1940 at the latest it had become a minority practice, and by 1950 was very unusual. There was a prominent, early moral campaign against footbinding. From the late nineteenth century, foreign missionaries and then Chinese nationalists formed societies, circulated pamphlets, collected pledges from parents not to footbind, and wrote to officials condemning the practice. These efforts preceded an imperial edict against footbinding issued in 1902, and the eventual ban of the practice in 1911.[5] In urban areas, it seems that footbinding as a practice declined in the 1900s and 1910s, so around the time of the ban. In rural areas ...

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: New study on whether animal welfare reforms affect wider attitudes towards animals, published by Jamie Harris on May 2, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. A new study called “The Effects of Exposure to Information About Animal Welfare Reforms on Animal Farming Opposition: A Randomized Experiment” has been published in Anthrozoös. As context, some advocates worry that learning about farmed animal welfare reforms can increase complacency with factory farming. (More discussion here.) We wanted to put that to the test. The experiment found that, unlike information about current farming practices, which somewhat increased animal farming opposition, providing information about animal welfare reforms had no significant effect on animal farming opposition, but we found evidence of indirect effects via some of the mediators we tested. Written by me, Ali Ladak (Sentience Institute), and Maya Mathur (Assistant Professor, Stanford University). ABSTRACT There is limited research on the effects of animal welfare reforms, such as transitions from caged to cage-free eggs, on attitudes toward animal farming. This preregistered, randomized experiment (n = 1,520) found that participants provided with information about current animal farming practices had somewhat higher animal farming opposition (AFO) than participants provided with information about an unrelated topic (d = 0.17). However, participants provided with information about animal welfare reforms did not report significantly different AFO from either the current-farming (d = −0.07) or control groups (d = 0.10). Although these latter effects on AFO were small and nonsignificant, they appeared to be mediated by changes in perceived social attitudes toward farmed animals and optimism about further reforms to factory farming. Exploratory analysis found no evidence that hierarchical meat-eating justification or beliefs about how well-treated farmed animals currently are mediated the effect. Further research is needed to better understand why providing information about animal welfare reforms did not substantially increase AFO overall, whereas providing information about current practice did somewhat increase AFO.

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: Key questions about artificial sentience: an opinionated guide, published by rgb on April 25, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. [crossposted at LessWrong and Experience Machines] What is it like to be DALL-E 2? Are today's AI systems consciously experiencing anything as they generate pictures of teddy bears on the moon, explain jokes, and suggest terrifying new nerve agents? This post gives a list of open scientific and philosophical questions about AI sentience. First, I frame the issue of AI sentience, proposing what I think is the Big Question we should be trying to answer: a detailed computational theory of sentience that applies to both biological organisms and artificial systems. Then, I discuss the research questions that are relevant to making progress on this question. Even if the ultimate question cannot be answered to our satisfaction, trying to answer it will yield valuable insights that can help us navigate possible AI sentience. This post represents my current best guess framework for thinking about these issues. I'd love to hear from commenters: suggested alternative frameworks for the Big Question, as well as your thoughts on the sub-questions. Introduction “Maybe if a reinforcement learning agent is getting negative rewards, it's feeling pain to some very limited degree. And if you're running millions or billions of copies of that, creating quite a lot, that's a real moral hazard.” -Sam Altman (OpenAI), interviewed by Ezra Klein (2021) Are today's ML systems already sentient? Most experts seem to think “probably not”, and it doesn't seem like there's currently a strong argument that today's large ML systems are conscious.[1] But AI systems are getting more complex and more capable with every passing week. And we understand sufficiently little about consciousness that we face huge uncertainty about whether, when, and why AI systems will have the capacity to have conscious experiences, including especially significant experiences like suffering or pleasure. We have a poor understanding of what possible AI experiences could be like, and how they would compare to human experiences. One potential catastrophe we want to avoid is unleashing powerful AI systems that are misaligned with human values: that's why the AI alignment community is hard at work trying to ensure we don't build power-seeking optimizers that take over the world in order to pursue some goal that we regard as alien and worthless. It's encouraging that more work is going into minimizing risks from misaligned AI systems. At the same time, we should also take care to avoid engineering a catastrophe for AI systems themselves: a world in which we have created AIs that are capable of intense suffering, suffering which we do not mitigate, whether through ignorance, malice, or indifference. There could be very, very many sentient artificial beings. Jamie Harris (2021) argues that “the number of [artificially sentient] beings could be vast, perhaps many trillions of human-equivalent lives on Earth and presumably even more lives if we colonize space or less complex and energy-intensive artificial minds are created.” There's lots of uncertainty here: but given large numbers of future beings, and the possibility for intense suffering, the scale of AI suffering could dwarf the already mind-bogglingly large scale of animal suffering from factory farming [2] The San Junipero servers from season 3, episode 4 of Black Mirror It would be nice if we had a clear outline for how to avoid catastrophic scenarios from AI suffering, something like: here are our best computational theories of what it takes for a system, whether biological or artificial, to experience conscious pleasure or suffering, and here are the steps we can take to avoid engineering large-scale artificial suffering.

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: High School EA Outreach, published by cafelow on the AI Alignment Forum. Contributions by the Students for High-Impact Charity Team (Catherine Low, Baxter Bullock, Tee Barnett, David Vatousios and Callum Hinchcliffe), the Run to Better Days Team (Brenton Mayer, Daniel Charles, Laura Koefler), Jessica McCurdy, Daniel, Alex, Jamie Harris and Sebastian Becker[1]. Compiled by Catherine Low. Introductory segments written by Catherine Low. Summary This post compiles summarized reports on several projects and instances in which effective altruism (EA) concepts have been introduced to school students aged 13 to 18 (referred to hereafter as high school students): Guest presenters running workshops in high schools (Run to Better Days and Students for High-Impact Charity). Resourcing university student coordinators to help high school students set up EA-aligned groups in their in high schools (Students for High-Impact Charity). Recruiting and resourcing high school student leaders to run sessions on EA concepts with their peers (Students for High-Impact Charity). Recruiting non-EA teachers run EA sessions in schools (Students for High-Impact Charity). University students running EA sessions as part of the Splash program in USA Universities. EA-aligned teachers presenting concepts in classes and extracurricular clubs. The content delivered to students varied from project to project, and included charity comparisons, ethical questions, cause prioritization, high-impact career choices, and discussions of common EA cause areas. We hope this post will be a useful resource for people who are interested in communicating the basic principles of EA to young people. This post was prompted by Students for High-Impact Charity (SHIC) recently choosing to suspend outreach to high school students. We begin by explaining the generally accepted reasons for why reaching out to high school students may be useful, and our tentative conclusions. This is followed by detailed descriptions of some projects that have been tried, written by that project's team or coordinator. For each project, we explain the method used and any measured impact. Why choose high school outreach? Many self-identified effective altruists state that they wished they had gained EA knowledge much earlier than they did, so that they could have had a roadmap to effectively improve the world from a younger age. These statements suggest it was worth testing whether high school students are a good group to educate about EA. Our initial reasons for believing that high school students could be a good audience were: They are less likely to have fixed opinions about the best way to do good than people who have been doing altruistic actions for some years. They may be more open to new ideas than older people. They are in a significantly better position to make impactful life decisions than university students or adults, as they haven't sunk time and resources into a potentially lower impact path. It's possible to gain access to an audience of high school students more easily than audiences of older people. Anecdotally, EA ideas seem to be more appealing if they're presented by someone more senior than they are, which most EAs are relative to high school students. There are several ways that reaching high school students could have an impact: Guiding high school students towards higher impact career paths, volunteering and donations. Influencing school fundraisers. Providing a positive first experience of EA concepts, increasing the chances that these students would take action after subsequent exposures to EA—for example, when they are at university.

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: Takeaways from EAF's Hiring Round , published by Jamie_Harris on the effective altruism forum. This is a linkpost for In this post I summarize key strategic implications from Sentience Institute's five completed social movement case studies and several additional case studies by other researchers, looking for correlations and convergent findings across the different movements and contexts. From this evidence, I argue that the farmed animal movement should take steps to avoid unintended consequences from incremental tactics; use a more diverse range of institutional tactics; use fewer individual diet change tactics, primarily as a complement to institutional tactics; explore opportunities to bypass public opinion; and focus less on issue salience. I also argue that the nascent movements to protect the interests of future sentient beings (e.g. artificial sentience) should focus first on building a credible, professional movement but subsequently invest in a broader range of social movement tactics when promising opportunities arise. INTRODUCTION Sentience Institute has now published five social movement case studies. This post provides a summary of the strategic implications from this work so far. The main goal of these case studies is to glean strategic insights for social movements encouraging moral circle expansion (MCE), especially the farmed animal movement and the nascent movements to protect the interests of future sentient beings (e.g. artificial sentience). Other social movements, including the broader effective altruism movement, may also benefit. We have argued: Individual historical cases can therefore provide inspiration for potential tactics and perhaps build our intuition, but we should not place much weight on strategic knowledge gained from a single case, because causal relationships may not replicate in different contexts and may seem to work in contradictory ways. Note, however, that weak evidence can still be useful and should not be disregarded as it is often all we have available. Even if we are not very confident about individual hypothesized causal relationships, we may be able to place significant weight on the strategic knowledge gleaned from history if we see that certain correlations reliably replicate across different movements and across different contexts. In this post, I identify correlations and convergent findings across the different movements and contexts that SI has studied so far. METHODOLOGY The movements we have studied so far are: The British antislavery movement The US anti-abortion movement The US anti-death penalty movement (including brief discussion of Europe) The US prisoners' rights movement The international Fair Trade movement We have a separate post discussing methodological considerations such as why we have chosen to focus on these particular case studies. Our research on this topic is incomplete, so I also draw on similar reports by other researchers associated with the effective altruism community: Animal Charity Evaluators' case studies of childrens' rights (UK, Sweden, and New Zealand) and environmentalism (US and Europe). Mauricio Baker's case studies of and , both with a broad international focus. Włodzimierz Gogłoza's case study of the US antislavery movement. To identify big-picture trends, I assigned scores to each movement[1] for a number of different variables: Success — whether the movement encouraged institutional changes, change to individuals' behavior, change in public opinion, or acceptance by targeted institutions. Where I refer to “successful social change,” I am referring to the average of these four submetrics. My rough impression of the proportion of resources spent by each movement on various tactics.

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: Evidence from two studies of EA careers advice interventions, published by Jamie_Harris on the AI Alignment Forum. Many thanks to Lauren Mee, David Reinstein, Brenton Mayer, Aaron Gertler, Alex Holness-Tofts, Lynn Tan, Vaidehi Agarwalla, David Moss, and Renee Bell for providing feedback on drafts of this writeup, as well as all who provided feedback on the studies themselves. Summary Animal Advocacy Careers (AAC) ran two longitudinal studies aiming to compare and test the cost-effectiveness of our one-to-one advising calls and our online course. Various forms of these two types of careers advice service have been used by people seeking to build the effective altruism (EA) movement for years, and we expect the results to be informative to EA movement builders, as well as to AAC. We interpret the results as tentative evidence of positive effects from both services, but the effects of each seem to be different. Which is more effective overall depends on your views about which sorts of effects are most important; our guess is that one-to-one calls are slightly more effective per participant, but not by much. One-to-one calls seem substantially more costly per participant, which makes the service harder to scale. There therefore seems to be a tradeoff between costs and apparent effects per participant. We'd guess that the online course was (and will be, once scaled up) slightly more cost-effective, all things considered, but the services might just serve different purposes, especially since the applicants might be different for the different services. Background Animal Advocacy Careers (AAC) ran a longitudinal study testing the effects of our ~1 hour one-to-one careers advising calls, which operated in a similar style to calls given by 80,000 Hours and the organisers of local effective altruism (EA) groups across the world. Over roughly the same time period, we ran a second study using very similar methodology that tested the effects of our ~9 week online course, which taught some core content about effective animal advocacy, effective altruism, and impact-focused career strategy and culminated in support to develop a career plan, either via a group workshop or by redirecting to planning materials by 80,000 Hours. Each study was designed as a randomised controlled trial,[1] and pre-registered on the Open Science Framework (here and here), although a few methodological difficulties mean that we shouldn't interpret the results as giving very conclusive answers. Despite these difficulties, we think that the studies provide useful evidence both for AAC and others focusing on building the effective altruism movement (i.e. the community striving to help others as much as possible using the best evidence available) to help us prioritise our time and resources. We'll be sharing more about the methodological lessons from the studies in a forthcoming post called “EA movement building: Should you run an experiment?” The findings are also written up in the style of a formal academic paper, viewable here. That version provides more detail on the methodology (participants, procedure, and instruments) and contains extensive appendices (predictions, full results, anonymised raw data, R code, and more). In the rest of this post, we summarise some of the key results and takeaways. Which service has larger effects? The ideal evaluation of whether a career advice intervention genuinely increases a participant's expected impact for altruistic causes would be very challenging and expensive.[2] So instead, we designed and collected data on four metrics that we expected to be useful indicators of whether people were making changes in promising directions: “Attitudes,” e.g. views on cause prioritisation, inclination towards effective altruism. “Career plans,” e.g. study plans, internship plans, j...

Ed was due to catch up with both Chris Kirwan from the South Wales Argus and with regular contributor Jamie Harris - but with the latter stuck in IKEA, this ended up being a two-hander. The pair take a step back after a very intense run of games to look at how the Rowberry era has gone so far, the differences in approach from Michael Flynn's tenure, and the shifting dynamics of County's midfield trio. They also discuss last week's open meeting for supporters, praise the work of Darren Kelly and look ahead to a trio of pre-Christmas games against Sutton (H), Port Vale (H) and Rochdale (a).

Over the course of history, we've expanded our moral circle to arrive at equal rights for all humans in most countries in the world. Can we go beyond it and expand to include animals and other sentient beings? == What we talk about == 0:00 - Introduction 1:38 - How did you get interested in effective altruism (EA) and what made you focus on animal advocacy? 10:27 - The concept of replaceability, its connection with the EA community, and importance of scale of impact 20:08 - Why do you prioritize animal advocacy against helping the suffering humans? 31:05 - Do you see the number of users of animal products decreasing very slowly as demoralizing? 39:06 - Why is the transition from supporting animal advocacy to actually making an impact on people's food habits difficult? 41:15 - How would you guide someone who wants to pursue their career in animal advocacy? 44:25 - What are some things animal advocates do which accidentally harm animals rather than benefitting them? 54:24 - Being vegetarian and supporting pro-animal welfare are not the same thing 57:26 - Some effective altruists say helping humans is better than helping animals. Your take on that? 1:01:03 - Animals can't protest for their rights and welfare / Animals can't protest for their rights and welfare, Humans can 1:07:02 - Artificial sentience in animal advocacy and welfare 1:15:01 - What metrics do you use to keep a track of the impact you are making? == About the guest == Jamie Harris is the co-founder of and researcher at the non-profit Animal Advocacy Careers, a non-profit that seeks to identify and remove bottlenecks in the animal advocacy movement, with a special focus on farmed animal advocacy. Jamie is also a researcher at the Sentience Institute, a non-profit organization dedicated to researching how we can expand humanity's moral circle to include other non-human sentient beings like animals and, in the future, AI systems. Jamie's career is inspired by the effective altruism ideology which aims to figure out how we can do the most good in the world. It's about being rational about figuring out which of our actions have the biggest bang for the buck when it comes to improving the world. As you can imagine from Jamie's focus, he believes that alleviating suffering for farmed animals is a high-priority goal. So, today I want to talk to him about why he believes that (v/s say helping poor or unhealthy humans), where is today's animal advocacy focused, and what can we learn from previous social movements for achieving a world where animals are removing from the food supply chain (a cause that I very much believe in myself).

"About a year ago our chief CRNA sent me a podcast from TopMedTalk about fluid management" - this podcast is a fascinating insight into how Enhanced Recovery continues to reach out across the world to the bedside of patients. How do you take your institution from where you're at now to where you need to be tomorrow? What are the essential ingredients? How do you work, through education, towards real patient engagement and empowerment? How do you manage a sensible quality improvement programme? Presented by Desiree Chappell with co-host Korey Sprigman and their guests, Jamie Harris, CRNA, Hillcrest Hospital, Tulsa, Oklahoma and Carol Schmidt, CRNA, Royal Oak, Michigan. The British Journal of Anaesthesia article, which inspired this series, is here: https://bjanaesthesia.org/article/S0007-0912(20)30003-9/fulltext

In the inaugural year of UMFL in 2014, Julie Shelley was the first female with a time of 25:33:05. 2015 it was Julie Paquette with a time of 29:33:00. In 2016 it was Jessica Deree in a time of 27:54:05. In 2017 35 year old Steffi Steinberg took out the female win (11th overall) with a 24:55:13. 2018 it was 41 year old Jamie Harris in a time of 25:36:37. In 2019 42 year old Jamie Harris was the first female (10th overall) in a time of 26:21:23. Now along comes 49 year old Dede Griesbauer. She's been a top 10 in Kona 3 times, she's won 3 IRONMAN races. She completes UMFL this year with a total time of 22:48:31. 2 hours 7 minutes faster than the 35 year old Steffi in 2017. Our guest today is the winner of Ultraman Florida 2020, Dede Griesbauer. Thanks to last week's guest Josh Miller AKA Primal Flow for talking ultrarunning and sharing his very personal history with drug and alcohol addiction and how trail running was a key part of his recovery.

Interview with Dede Griesbauer (UMFL): The race covers a total distance of 321.6 miles (517.5km), around central Florida; it requires that each participant complete a 6.2 mile (10km) open water swim, a 263 mile (423km) bike ride, and a 52.4 mile (84km) ultra-marathon run. Day 1 consists of a 6.2 mile swim and 92 mile bike, Day 2 is a 171 mile bike, and Day 3 is a 52.4 mile run. Dede completed this beast in a total time of 22:48:31. 2 hours 7 minutes faster than any other woman in the 7 year history of the race. Dede Griesbauer is the oldest, actively racing professional triathlete on the planet. Three IRONMAN wins and a 3-time Top 10 Kona finisher. Training Tips: Last week we talked about the importance of getting in a good base of endurance training. Most of us in the northern hemisphere are in that phase. But how do you know if you have enough base training, or how you can tell if your body has made the appropriate adaptions. You can aerobic endurance by testing for decoupling. What is decoupling you ask? Joe Friel writes: An important lesson every competitive endurance athlete eventually learns is that the general preparation (“base”) period of the season is the most important time of the year. It’s then that the fundamental abilities of aerobic endurance, force and speed skill are developed. If these abilities are fully formed then the more advanced, race-specific abilities of muscular endurance, anaerobic endurance and power may be built on this solid foundation in the specific-preparation (“build”) period. Excellent general fitness created in the base period is necessary to produce high levels of sport-specific fitness for later in the season. Summer races are won with winter training. How do you know if your aerobic endurance is progressing? And how do you know when you’ve done enough such training to reach an optimal AeT fitness level? The answer to both of these questions may be found by comparing power or speed with heart rate. When aerobic endurance improves there is reduced heart rate drift relative to constant outputs (power and speed). And, of course, the reverse of this is that when heart rate is held steady during extensive endurance training, output may be expected to drift downward. This parallel relationship between input (heart rate) and output (power or speed) is referred to as “coupling.” When they are no longer parallel in a workout as one variable remains steady while the other drifts the relationship is said to have “decoupled.” Excessive decoupling would indicate a lack of aerobic endurance fitness. For each half the normalized power (cycling) or speed (running) is divided by the average heart rate to establish two ratios. The ratios are then compared by subtracting the first half ratio from the second half ratio and dividing the remainder by the first half ratio. This produces a power-to-heart rate-ratio percentage of change from the first half to the second half of the aerobic threshold ride. That percentage of change is your rate of decoupling. I have found that aerobically fit endurance athletes experience a decoupling rate of less than 5%. https://www.trainingpeaks.com/blog/aerobic-endurance-and-decoupling/. Endurance News: LONDON, ENGLAND: The Professional Triathletes Organisation today announced that it has adopted a $2,000,000 Annual Bonus Programme pursuant to which athletes will be paid based on their PTO World Rankings at the end of 2020. The bonus amounts range from $100,000 for the PTO World No. 1 male and female athletes, to $10,000 for the PTO World No. 20 male and female athletes. In addition, male and female athletes ranked at the end of the year between 21-50 shall each be paid $5,000 and those ranked between 51-100 shall be paid $2,000. Rachel Joyce, Co-President of the PTO commented, “We are very pleased to be able to adopt an annual bonus programme that rewards athletes for outstanding performances throughout the year. The triathlon season is a long one and just because an athlete might have an off race in a large event, doesn’t mean that their year’s performance should go unrewarded.” The PTO World Rankings is a first-of-its-kind ranking technology to measure the greatest non-drafting professional triathletes. It is a worldwide benchmark of consistent excellence in triathlon. In addition to being the basis for the PTO Annual Bonus Programme, it is used to determine automatic qualification spots for The Collins Cup. Tim O’Donnell, Co-President of the PTO, stated, “The adoption of the PTO Annual Bonus Plan, together with the $2,000,000 payments at The Collins Cup, means that so far in 2020 the PTO will be paying 200 professional triathletes $4,000,000. We believe that this demonstrates the value and benefits of professionals being unified in our own organisation and we hope that this is just the beginning of the many ways the PTO can bring not only a voice but meaningful contributions to our sport.” https://303triathlon.com/p-t-o-putting-2-million-bucks-in-pockets-of-100-top-pro-triathletes-for-2020/ Video of the Week: Pro Interview: Dede Griesbauer Upcoming Interviews: The Nutrition Mechanic, Dina Griffin will be joining us to discuss the nutrition needs of female athletes.

The crackdown continues as British police arrests those accused of using social media sties to start riots.  Police say they arrested and charged three men for allegedly posting notices on social sites to stir up trouble.  A woman who took advantage of a computer glitch will spend nine years behind bars.  A Pittsburgh U.S. District judge handed down the sentence to 46- year old Jamie Harris on Thursday.  She is one of four people charged in the scheme that stole more than a million dollars from the city’s only minority owned bank.  Regulators closed the bank as insolvent two years ago.  A massive data breach has left thousands of social security numbers exposed for anyone to see.  The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee recently posted on its website that back in June, they found malware on one of its servers.  That server had the names of staff and students.  It also had the Social Security Numbers and other files with personal data of about 75, thousand past and present students and staff members.   The university did say that the server did not contain any financial information. Also tune in for the job of the day!
