Discussion Opening April 11th and running through April 18th at the Pumphouse in Calgary, Misfit Theatre presents Guys & Dolls directed by Jeremy Walker. Kyle sits down with Jeremy, Nimue Nova the choreographer and Donna Pearson, producer, to talk about the struggle in bringing this larger than life 1950s Broadway Musical to life. Tickets: https://www.morpheustheatre.ca/?page_id=7805 About the Show: A co-production between MisFit Theatre YYC and Morpheus Theatre It's time to roll and beat those dice as the beloved musical takes a bow! A screwball romantic comedy, Guys and Dolls takes us into the heart of 1950s New York, as imagined by Damon Runyon and scored by Frank Loesser and includes toe-tapping musical theatre classics including "Sit Down, You're Rockin' The Boat" and "Luck Be a Lady". The story brings together a collection of colorful characters. First, there's Sarah Brown, the upright but uptight 'mission doll' out to reform the evil-doers of Times Square. Next up is Sky Masterson, the slick, high-rolling gambler who woos her on a bet and ends up falling in love. Adelaide is a chronically ill nightclub performer whose condition is brought on by the fact she's been engaged to the same man for fourteen long years. And last but not least there's her devoted fiance Nathan Detroit, desperate as ever to find a spot for his world-renowned floating crap game! Guys and Dolls takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana, Cuba, and even into the sewers of New York City, but eventually everyone ends up right where they belong.

Summary provided by summarization of the YouTube transcript, generated by ChatGPT, reviewed by Andy For the full show notes check out the blog at Video Game Tango! --- https://www.videogametango.com --- Indiana Jones Game and High PC Requirements The guys expressed enthusiasm for the upcoming Indiana Jones game, but the discussion quickly shifted to concerns over its demanding PC specs. The game requires an Intel i7 10700K or Ryzen 5 3600, 16–32GB of RAM, and high-end GPUs like the RTX 2060 or RX 6600, even for minimum settings. For ultra settings, players would need top-tier GPUs like the RTX 4080. The high system requirements are seen as indicative of poor optimization. Comparisons were drawn to Cyberpunk 2077 and Red Dead Redemption 2, with Red Dead praised for its visuals and optimization despite being older. Frustration was voiced about the increasing trend of prioritizing hardware power over optimization. Blizzard Updates – Warcraft and WoW Additional updates from Blizzard included news about Warcraft 1 & 2 remakes and player housing in World of Warcraft. Warcraft 1 & 2 are being remastered with higher resolutions and updated art. However, the original versions are being removed from platforms like GOG, sparking criticism. Blizzard announced that World of Warcraft would finally introduce long-requested player housing, although details are scarce. The discussion touched on GOG's legacy of successful optimization and their approach to preserving classic games for modern audiences. Updates on AAA Gaming Bubble and Laura Frier's Commentary Laura Frier, a former executive in the gaming industry, was discussed for her YouTube videos analyzing the AAA gaming space. Her videos touch on key issues like the mismanagement of major projects, "toxic positivity", and the industry's inability to align with gamer feedback. She criticizes AAA studios for not listening to gamers and instead relying on overly positive reviews from gaming media. The conversation also delved into societal issues like backlash against diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in gaming. Toxic masculinity and resistance to changes in the gaming industry were highlighted as ongoing challenges. Ubisoft's Decline and X Defiant Cancellation The guys discussed Ubisoft's decision to discontinue development on X Defiant, a free-to-play first-person shooter, due to poor market performance and profitability concerns. Ubisoft also shut down production studios in San Francisco, Osaka, and Sydney, with layoffs affecting 150 employees. The company's ongoing struggles were attributed to over-reliance on the games-as-a-service model, which is unpopular with many gamers. Broader criticism of Ubisoft included the underwhelming performance of Star Wars Outlaws and declining investor confidence, with their stock losing half its value in 2023. Intel's New Graphics Cards (Battle Mage Series) Intel's upcoming line of Arc graphics cards, code-named Battle Mage, was introduced as a potential disruptor in the graphics card market. The B570 and B580 models aim to compete with Nvidia's RTX 4060 at significantly lower prices. The B580 could offer a 10–40% performance boost over the RTX 4060 while being $100–$150 cheaper. These cards are targeted at the mid-tier budget market, making PC gaming more accessible. The guys expressed hope for Intel's success to increase competition in the GPU space and lower inflated prices. Indie Game Spotlight – Gnomes A unique indie game called Gnomes was highlighted for its creative mix of gameplay styles. Gnomes is a tower-defense game with roguelike elements and strategic resource management. Players build gnome villages while defending against waves of invading goblins. The game features a modular map system, synergies between different upgrades, and quirky aesthetics. Gameplay blends elements of Lemmings (UI), Loop Hero (strategic loop mechanics), and Luck Be a Landlord (meta-progression and upgrades). The guys praised the game's demo for its balance, fun mechanics, and whimsical vibe. They encouraged players to try the free demo available on Steam and speculated on a release within the coming months. Broader Gaming Industry Trends and Community Plans The discussion concluded with reflections on the gaming industry's struggles with innovation, reliance on PR over quality, and the need for more competition. The guys expressed nostalgia for the golden age of gaming when the market offered more diverse and polished titles. They plan to stream the PC Gaming Show on December 5th and the Game Awards on December 12th. Social games like Jackbox may be hosted during the holidays for friends and community members alike!

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: Forecasting One-Shot Games, published by Raemon on September 1, 2024 on LessWrong. Cliff notes: You can practice forecasting on videogames you've never played before, to develop the muscles for "decision-relevant forecasting." Turn based videogames work best. I recommend "Luck Be a Landlord", "Battle for Polytopia", or "Into the Breach." Each turn, make as many Fatebook predictions as you can in 5 minutes, then actually make your decision(s) for the turn. After 3 turns, instead of making "as many predictions as possible", switch to trying to come up with at least two mutually exclusive actions you might take this turn, and come up with predictions that would inform which action to take. Don't forget to follow this up with practicing forecasting for decisions you're making in "real life", to improve transfer learning. And, watch out for accidentally just getting yourself addicted to videogames, if you weren't already in that boat. This is pretty fun to do in groups and makes for a good meetup, if you're into that. Recently I published Exercise: Planmaking, Surprise Anticipation, and "Baba is You". In that exercise, you try to make a complete plan for solving a puzzle-level in a videogame, without interacting with the world (on levels where you don't know what all the objects in the environment do), and solve it on your first try. Several people reported it pretty valuable (it was highest rated activity at my metastrategy workshop). But, it's fairly complicated as an exercise, and a single run of the exercise typically takes at least an hour (and maybe several hours) before you get feedback on whether you're "doing it right." It'd be nice to have a way to practice decision-relevant forecasting with a faster feedback loop. I've been exploring the space of games that are interesting to "one-shot". (i.e. " try to win on your first playthrough"), and also exploring the space of exercises that take advantage of your first playthrough of a game. So, an additional, much simpler exercise that I also like, is: Play a turn-based game you haven't played before. Each turn, set a 5 minute timer for making as many predictions as you can about how the game works, what new rules or considerations you might learn later. Then, a 1 minute timer for actually making your choices for what action(s) to take during the turn. And... that's it. (to start with, anyway). Rather that particularly focusing on "trying really hard to win", start with just making lots of predictions, about a situation where you're at least trying to win a little, so you can develop the muscles of noticing what sort of predictions you can make while you're in the process of strategically orienting. And, notice what sorts of implicit knowledge you have, even though you don't technically "know" how the game would work. Some of the predictions might resolve the very next turn. Some might resolve before the very next turn, depending on how many choices you get each turn. And, some might take a few turns, or even pretty deep into the game. Making a mix of forecasts of different resolution-times is encouraged. I think there are a lot of interesting skills you can layer on top of this, after you've gotten the basic rhythm of it. But "just make a ton of predictions about a domain where you're trying to achieve something, and get quick feedback on it" seems like a good start. Choosing Games Not all games are a good fit for this exercise. I've found a few specific games I tend to recommend, and some principles for which games to pick. The ideal game has: Minimal (or skippable) tutorial. A major point of the exercise is to make prediction about the game mechanics and features. Good games for this exercise a) don't spoonfeed you all the information about the game, but also b) are self-explanatory enough to figure out without a tut...

SummaryThis episode is an interview with OnlineKyne, the author of the book Math in Drag. The conversation focuses on how to be an effective online educator and covers various topics in mathematics, including Cantor's infinite sets, probability, and statistics. The interview also delves into the process of writing the book and highlights the connection between math and drag. The chapters in the conversation cover the journey of a content creator, tips for science content creators, the concept of infinity, the significance of celebrity numbers, game theory, probability, statistics, and the ethical implications of math and drag.Takeaways Being an effective online educator involves distilling complex concepts into concise and valuable content. Math and drag share similarities in breaking rules and defying authority. Mathematics has a rich history and is influenced by various cultures and individuals. Statistics can be used to manipulate and deceive, so it is important to be critical of data and its interpretation.Chapters00:00 Introduction00:54 Journey as a Content Creator03:50 Tips and Tricks for Science Content Creators04:15 Writing the Book05:12 Math and Drag06:40 Infinite Possibilities07:35 Celebrity Numbers08:59 How to Cut a Cake and Eat It09:57 Luck Be a Ladyboy12:44 Illegal Math16:02 The Average Queen25:03 Math and Drag Breaking the Rules27:22 Conclusion

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: "Fractal Strategy" workshop report, published by Raemon on April 7, 2024 on LessWrong. I just ran a workshop teaching the rationality concepts I've developed this year. If you're interested in paying money for a similar workshop, please fill out this form. Six months ago, I started thinking about improving rationality. Originally my frame was "deliberate practice for confusing problems". For the past two months, I've been iterating on which skills seemed useful to me personally, and which I might convey to others in a short period of time. I settled into the frame "what skills are necessary for finding and pivoting to 10x better plans?". It's the area I most needed rationality for, myself, and it seemed generalizable to a lot of people I know. I ended up with 5-10 skills I used on a regular basis, and I put together a workshop aiming to teach those skills in an immersive bootcamp environment. The skills wove together into a framework I'm tentatively called "Fractal Strategy", although I'm not thrilled with that name. Basically, whenever I spend a bunch of resources on something, I... Explicitly ask "what are my goals?" Generate 2-5 plans at 3 different strategic levels Identify my cruxes for choosing between plans Fluently operationalize fatebook predictions about those cruxes Check if I can cheaply reduce uncertainty on my cruxes The framework applies to multiple timescales. I invest more in this meta-process when making expensive, longterm plans. But I often find it useful to do a quick version of it even on the ~30-60 minute timescale. I put together a workshop, aiming to: help people improve their current, object level plan help people improve their overall planmaking/OODA-loop process tl;dr on results I didn't obviously succeed at #1 (I think people made some reasonable plan updates, but not enough to immediately say an equivalent of "Hot Damn, look at that graph". See the Feedback section for more detail). I think many people made conceptual and practical updates to their planning process, but it's too early to tell if it'll stick, or help. Nonetheless, everyone at the workshop said it seemed like at least a good use of their time as what they'd normally have been doing. I asked "how much would you have paid for this?" and the average answer was $800 (range from $300 to $1,500). When I was applying these techniques to myself, it took me more like ~3 weeks to update my plans in a significant way. My guess is that the mature version of the workshop comes with more explicit followup-coaching. Workshop Outline First, here's a quick overview of what happened. Beforehand: People sent me a short writeup of their current plans for the next 1-2 weeks, and broader plans for the next 1-6 months. Day 1: Practice skills on quick-feedback exercises Everyone installs the fatebook chrome/firefox extension Solve a puzzle with Dots and a Grid with an unspecified goal Solve a GPQA question with 95% confidence Try to one-shot a Baba is You puzzle For both of those puzzles (Baba and GPQA), ask "How could I have thought that faster?" Play a videogame like Luck Be a Landlord, and make fermi-calculations about your choices within the game. For all exercises, make lots of fatebook predictions about how the exercise will go. Day 2: Big picture strategic thinking Work through a series of prompts about your big picture plans. Write up at least two different big-picture plans that seem compelling Think about short-feedback exercises you could do on Day 3 Day 3: Choose your own short exercises, and object-level work Morning: Do concrete exercises/games/puzzles that require some kind of meta-planning skill, that feels useful to you. Afternoon: Do object-level work on your best alternative big picture plan, You get to practice "applying the method" on the ~hour timescale You flesh out your se...

See the Feedback section for more detail). I think many people made conceptual and practical updates to their planning process, but it's too early to tell if it'll stick, or help. Nonetheless, everyone at the workshop said it seemed like at least a good use of their time as what they'd normally have been doing. I asked "how much would you have paid for this?" and the average answer was $800 (range from $300 to $1,500). When I was applying these techniques to myself, it took me more like ~3 weeks to update my plans in a significant way. My guess is that the mature version of the workshop comes with more explicit followup-coaching. Workshop Outline First, here's a quick overview of what happened. Beforehand: People sent me a short writeup of their current plans for the next 1-2 weeks, and broader plans for the next 1-6 months. Day 1: Practice skills on quick-feedback exercises Everyone installs the fatebook chrome/firefox extension Solve a puzzle with Dots and a Grid with an unspecified goal Solve a GPQA question with 95% confidence Try to one-shot a Baba is You puzzle For both of those puzzles (Baba and GPQA), ask "How could I have thought that faster?" Play a videogame like Luck Be a Landlord, and make fermi-calculations about your choices within the game. For all exercises, make lots of fatebook predictions about how the exercise will go. Day 2: Big picture strategic thinking Work through a series of prompts about your big picture plans. Write up at least two different big-picture plans that seem compelling Think about short-feedback exercises you could do on Day 3 Day 3: Choose your own short exercises, and object-level work Morning: Do concrete exercises/games/puzzles that require some kind of meta-planning skill, that feels useful to you. Afternoon: Do object-level work on your best alternative big picture plan, You get to practice "applying the method" on the ~hour timescale You flesh out your se...

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: One-shot strategy games?, published by Raemon on March 11, 2024 on LessWrong. I'm looking for computer games that involve strategy, resource management, hidden information, and management of "value of information" (i.e. figuring out when to explore or exploit), which: *can* be beaten in 30 - 120 minutes on your first try (or, there's a clear milestone that's about that long) but, it'd be pretty hard to do so unless you are trying really hard. Even if a pretty savvy gamer shouldn't be able to by default. This is for my broader project of "have a battery of exercises that train/test people's general reasoning on openended problems." Each exercise should ideally be pretty different from the other ones. In this case, I don't expect anyone to have such a game that they have beaten on their first try, but, I'm looking for games where this seems at least plausible, if you were taking a long time to think each turn, or pausing a lot. The strategy/resource/value-of-information aspect is meant to correspond to some real world difficulties of running longterm ambitious planning. (One example game that's been given to me in this category is "Luck Be a Landlord") Thanks for listening. To help us out with The Nonlinear Library or to learn more, please visit nonlinear.org

It's Claire Delaney who joins Alexa this week to give us a tour behind the scenes of working on the ITV show ‘Mamma Mia! I have a dream', the search for Sophie and Sky. Claire is a vocal coach with a private business and also teaches at UK Drama School Italia Conti. She initially trained in Opera, performing at the likes of the Royal Albert Hall, and now works with singers of all skill levels from beginners to West End professionals. To celebrate the winners of ‘Mamma Mia! I have a dream' and their West End debut, Claire is here to give us the gossip on how she landed this TV job, what her role entailed on the program, and how we can help our theatre performers navigate auditions. KEY TAKEAWAYS "Mamma Mia! I Have a Dream'' premiered on ITV in October 2023. The program followed the quest for two fresh and undiscovered talents in musical theatre, aiming to cast them in the roles of Sophie Sheridan and Sky Ramand for the West End rendition of the musical "Mamma Mia!". If you or one of your students are thinking about applying for a TV show like this in the future, Claire believes you need to be strong in the following areas: story telling, working collaboratively, creating chemistry, having the endurance to perform 9 shows a week, and not taking yourself too seriously. In previous "Mamma Mia!" shows, it was understood that straight tone was desired over vibrato. However this more traditional approach didn't appear to be the case in the TV show. Claire loves vibrato because it adds colour and a feeling of release in the voice. As a teacher you need to make sure your student can do both so they can use whichever they think is right for them. BEST MOMENTS ‘I feel like having worked on TV now it adds to my credibility' ‘It's not Shakespeare, it's pure entertainment and just joyous' ‘The key to any audition is to do your background development on the character' ‘My best advice is just be cheeky and ask, the worst anyone can say is no and not everybody will say no' EPISODE RESOURCES Guest Website: https://www.delaneycoaching.com/ Social Media: Instagram: @Claire.delaney.coach Tik Tok: Claire_TheVocalCoach Relevant Links & Mentions: Fiona McDougal: https://fionamcdougal.com/ London School of Musical Theatre: https://www.lsmt.co.uk/ Italia Conti Arts: https://www.italiaconti.com/ Singing Teachers Talk Podcast: Ep. 91 How to Help Prepare Singers for Drama School Auditions with Michael Vickers Songs mentioned: Luck Be a Lady from Guys and Dolls; Trustfall by Pink; Somebody To Love from We Will Rock You; Kiss Me by Sixpence None the Richer; Shivers by Ed Sheeran; Night Fever from Saturday Night Fever Vocology in Practice: https://www.vocologyinpractice.org/ ABOUT THE GUEST Claire Delaney is a professional voice coach and currently teaches at Italia Conti.

Helloooo, honeys. Julieann's back, and since there's so little AJLT news to report, she's back with not just one...but TWO episodes from the notoriously hated Season 5 (which she un-ironically loves!) This week, she brings you a watch-along of: 1) "Luck Be an Old Lady," in which the gals take on Atlantic City (Titty). Cynical Carrie is hellbent on getting the girls together as she gives up on her dreams; Charlotte refuses to turn 36; Miranda just wants to gamble and get away from baby Brady; Samantha is feeling too sus of Richard and contemplates leaving him for good.2) "Cover Girl," in which Carrie catches Sammie Jones giving the worldwide express guy a BJ, and Miranda gets over-eaten by an over-eater.Join us, honey *Note: Julieann misspoke- We do, in fact, see Richard again briefly in Season 6B, so don't come for us.IG: @samdiariespodJulieann's Twitter & IG: @TheJulMarie

Rev. Stang unexpectedly had to fill in for Dr. Sinister, whose show Radio Synaesthesia usually follows Hour of Slack on WCSB-Cleveland. Failing to grok the station's new "wav cart" machine, Stang made up a Public Service Announcement off the top of his head on a subject with which he's had experience, heart attacks. Playing the score for "Lucifer Rising" in the background, Stang read long stretches from Lonesome Cowboy Dave's novel "Neighborworld" and an even longer stretch from "The Bobliographon" about why suicide is probably a bad idea. Then Stang played some of his own favorite music, just like a regular college radio DJ: "Auld Land Syne" done by Jimi Hendrix at the Filmore East; ESO's version of "Sounds of Silence;" Elvis Costello's "Goon Squad;" "Luck Be a Lady" from Guys and Dolls; "Battle of the Roses" by The Rainmakers, Captain Beefheart's "Trust Us," and finally Herb Alpert doing "Zorba the Greek"! Just like a REAL radio show! Also, we completely forgot to post this episode last week. It was a busy week.
