We include perspectives from various sides of debates on Biblical matters so that our audience can become familiar with the different arguments involved. – Keep Thinking! In our final episode of this new series, Timothy Mahoney, Mori Michael Shelomo Bar Ron, and Dr. Pieter van der Veen close their important discussion about Mori Michael's translational work on the Proto-Sinaitic inscriptions. In addition to the Proto-Sinaitic inscriptions found at Serabit el-Khadim do we also have evidence for the Israelites in Egyptian hieroglyphs? Is it possible these hieroglyphs contain Hebrew names such as Levi or Issachar? Moreover, were the gods, Sopdu and Ptah, Egyptian understandings of Israel's God, El or Yahweh, and how might this relate to Goshen, the main site where the Israelites sojourned in Egypt? Also find out how you can support Mori Michael's ongoing translational work of the Proto-Sinaitic inscriptions for his Masters and eventual PhD Thesis! ➡️ HELP US FUND THE NEXT FILM!

Send us a textWhat do sound and knitting have in common? You'd be forgiven for thinking not much, but both have been constant companions across the life and career of sound artist and knitter, Felicity Ford also know as Felix. Join sobel as she visits Felix in her St Leonard's home to talk about her journey into field recording, soundscape composition and using this skillset to document the process of wool production. Felix also shares her perspective on why celebrating domestic sounds is a feminist pursuit, her maverick approach to disruption traditional notions of sonic art and how all of us can find a little magic in the everyday. In fact, isn't that what art is all about? Felix would argue. Felix also runs her own online knitting school called Kitsonik, so it only felt right for Isobel to be taught some knitting while we were there.

Support ongoing human narrations of LessWrong's curated posts:www.patreon.com/LWCuratedIn January, I defended my PhD thesis, which I called Algorithmic Bayesian Epistemology. From the preface:For me as for most students, college was a time of exploration. I took many classes, read many academic and non-academic works, and tried my hand at a few research projects. Early in graduate school, I noticed a strong commonality among the questions that I had found particularly fascinating: most of them involved reasoning about knowledge, information, or uncertainty under constraints. I decided that this cluster of problems would be my primary academic focus. I settled on calling the cluster algorithmic Bayesian epistemology: all of the questions I was thinking about involved applying the "algorithmic lens" of theoretical computer science to problems of Bayesian epistemology.Source:https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/6dd4b4cAWQLDJEuHw/my-phd-thesis-algorithmic-bayesian-epistemologyNarrated for LessWrong by Perrin Walker.Share feedback on this narration.

Today, we are joined by a guest whose journey traverses the dynamic realms of traditional media and cutting-edge Emotion AI technology. Dr. Leon Hawthorne is not only a former news anchor for CNN International and CNBC Europe but also a Founder CEO of two satellite television channels. His extensive experience in the media landscape has been complemented by his entrepreneurial spirit, leading him to explore the forefront of Artificial Intelligence in digital communication.Dr. Hawthorne recently earned his Ph.D. in 2024, delving into the captivating world of Generative AI and its impact on our digital lives. Long before the current surge in AI adoption, Leon embarked on a research project titled 'Talking Heads.' This initiative aimed to evaluate the integration of AI-generated virtual humans as on-screen news presenters, a concept that has gained unprecedented relevance in today's rapidly evolving technological landscape.His findings, which we will be exploring in detail, shed light on audience perceptions, preferences, and the challenges that arise when blending human authenticity with the prowess of Generative AI.

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: My PhD thesis: Algorithmic Bayesian Epistemology, published by Eric Neyman on March 17, 2024 on LessWrong. In January, I defended my PhD thesis, which I called Algorithmic Bayesian Epistemology. From the preface: For me as for most students, college was a time of exploration. I took many classes, read many academic and non-academic works, and tried my hand at a few research projects. Early in graduate school, I noticed a strong commonality among the questions that I had found particularly fascinating: most of them involved reasoning about knowledge, information, or uncertainty under constraints. I decided that this cluster of problems would be my primary academic focus. I settled on calling the cluster algorithmic Bayesian epistemology: all of the questions I was thinking about involved applying the "algorithmic lens" of theoretical computer science to problems of Bayesian epistemology. Although my interest in mathematical reasoning about uncertainty dates back to before I had heard of the rationalist community, the community has no doubt influenced and strengthened this interest. The most striking example of this influence is Scott Aaronson's blog post Common Knowledge and Aumann's Agreement Theorem, which I ran into during my freshman year of college.[1] The post made things click together for me in a way that made me more intellectually honest and humble, and generally a better person. I also found the post incredibly intellectually interesting -- and indeed, Chapter 8 of my thesis is a follow-up to Scott Aaronson's academic paper on Aumann's agreement theorem. My interest in forecast elicitation and aggregation, while pre-existing, was no doubt influenced by the EA/rationalist-adjacent forecasting community. And Chapter 9 of the thesis (work I did at the Alignment Research Center) is no doubt causally downstream of the rationalist community. Which is all to say: thank you! Y'all have had a substantial positive impact on my intellectual journey. Chapter descriptions The thesis contains two background chapters followed by seven technical chapters (Chapters 3-9). In Chapter 1 (Introduction), I try to convey what exactly I mean by "algorithmic Bayesian epistemology" and why I'm excited about it. In Chapter 2 (Preliminaries), I give some technical background that's necessary for understanding the subsequent technical chapters. It's intended to be accessible to readers with a general college-level math background. While the nominal purpose of Chapter 2 is to introduce the mathematical tools used in later chapters, the topics covered there are interesting in their own right. Different readers will of course have different opinions about which technical chapters are the most interesting. Naturally, I have my own opinions: I think the most interesting chapters are Chapters 5, 7, and 9, so if you are looking for direction, you may want to tiebreak toward reading those. Here are some brief summaries: Chapter 3: Incentivizing precise forecasts. You might be familiar with proper scoring rules, which are mechanisms for paying experts for forecasts in a way that incentivizes the experts to report their true beliefs. But there are many proper scoring rules (most famously, the quadratic score and the log score), so which one should you use? There are many perspectives on this question, but the one I take in this chapter is: which proper scoring rule most incentivizes experts to do the most research before reporting their forecast? (See also this blog post I wrote explaining the research.) Chapter 4: Arbitrage-free contract functions. Now, what if you're trying to elicit forecasts from multiple experts? If you're worried about the experts colluding, your problem is now harder. It turns out that if you use the same proper scoring rule to pay every expert, then the experts can collu...

In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Carmen Górska from OFR Consultants, the recent IAFSS Phillip Thomas Award recipient for the best paper at the previous IAFSS Symposium. In this interview, we touch on preconceived notions about fire dynamics in timber compartments, and Carmen explains how she has learned the intricate physics behind it. The research discussed covers dozens of medium-scale timber (CLT) compartments with different amounts of exposed timber. The findings relate to the conditions inside (temperatures, heat fluxes), the spatial distribution of the temperature and oxygen within the compartment, charring rates, self-extinction conditions, and external venting fires. If you would like to learn more from Carmen, here is her TEDx talk on mass timber, where she explains WHY we need research like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKXnKRD2EU4&t=1sAnd here is the award-winning paper: https://www.scopus.com/record/display.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85084762058&origin=resultslistAnd here is Carmens' PhD Thesis, which goes much deeper into the topic: https://espace.library.uq.edu.au/data/UQ_ec263ab/s4408332_final_thesis.pdf

Welcome back to another episode of Boundless Bytes. I'm your host, Riton Khan , and today, we have something truly special in store for you. On January 29 of 2022, a remarkable event unfolded at Bengal Shilpalay in the heart of the capital. The Gyantapas Abdur Razzaq Foundation, in collaboration with University Press Limited (UPL), unveiled a gem from the annals of academic history. Professor Razzaq's groundbreaking 1950 PhD thesis from the London School of Economics titled ‘Political Parties in India' saw the light of day in the form of a book for the very first time. Now, you might be wondering why this is so special. Well, the depth and insights of this work have remained under wraps for so long. Today, we will uncover this literary treasure with none other than Salimullah Khan, as he shares his critique on this masterpiece. For our listeners, I've gone the extra mile to enhance the audio quality, ensuring an unparalleled listening experience for all of you. Before we dive deep into this discussion, a quick note.

A copyright expert says the rise of Artificial Intelligence means academics and authors are increasingly at risk of having their work taken without their knowledge and published. Last month, Wellington PhD student, Hayden Scott Thorne, had his academic thesis about the US Supreme Court published as a paperback book, for sale on major book sites such as Barnes and Noble, and Amazon. 'The Due Process Revolution' was available for $33.99 plus shipping. But Dr Thorne had never authorised a book to be published, and after getting in touch with the companies involved, has had it removed from sale. Last week, five books purportedly by American author Jane Friedman were pulled from Amazon after she complained they were falsely advertised as being written by her - she believes they were written by AI. Susie speaks with Dr Hayden Thorne, and Sam Irvine, chief executive of Copyright Licensing New Zealand.
This episode we speak with Dr. Stephanie Harkin, discussing the concept of “techno-femininity” from her award winning PhD Thesis (2022) Girlhood Games: Gender, Identity, and Coming of Age in Videogames. You can read her PhD here: https://researchbank.swinburne.edu.au/file/86788440-fcec-420a-8df1-b7c35f976066/1/stephanie_harkin_thesis.pdf, follow her on Twitter: https://twitter.com/sa_harkin, and read more of her work on Academia.edu: https://swin.academia.edu/SHarkin. It is part 4 of a special 6-episode Season of Keywords in Play, exploring intersections and exchanges between Chinese and Australian game studies scholarship. This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body. Stephanie Harkin is an early career researcher interested in girls' gaming cultures and representations of girlhood. She completed her PhD at Swinburne University of Technology where her thesis explored girlhood and the coming-of-age genre in videogames. She has previously published on gender and games in the journals Game Studies, Games and Culture, and Girlhood Studies. The podcast series is part of Engaging Influencers initiative. This initiative is curated by the Australia Council for the Arts and funded by the National Foundation for Australia-China Relations. As a joint venture between DiGRA and Critical Distance, “Keywords in Play” expands Critical Distance's commitment to innovative writing and research about games while using a conversational style to bring new and diverse scholarship to a wider audience. Our goal is to highlight the work of graduate students, early career researchers and scholars from under-represented groups, backgrounds and regions. The primary inspiration comes from sociologist and critic Raymond Williams. In the Preface to his book Keywords: a vocabulary of culture and society, Williams envisaged not a static dictionary but an interactive document, encouraging readers to populate blank pages with their own keywords, notes and amendments. “Keywords in Play” follows Williams in affirming that “The significance is in the selection”, and works towards diversifying the critical terms with which we describe games and game culture.” Please consider supporting Critical Distance at https://www.patreon.com/critdistance Interviewer: Mahli-Ann Butt Production Team: Darshana Jayemanne, Emilie Reed, Zoyander Street Audio Direction and Engineering: Damian Stewart Double Bass: Aaron Stewart Special Thanks: Hugh Davies, Chloe Yan Li

Kenya's food culture is dynamic and evolving, based on both local and foreign influences. On the local front, we know that different cultural groups in Kenyahave their own foods and unique ways of preparing them. This diversity also makes it difficult for us to talk about a Kenyan cuisine in the same way that we might talk about Ethiopian, Nigerian, or Indian cuisine. Assome arguments go, we can trace the state of our food culture to colonization. Some people argue that colonialism limited or popularized some foods including maize and legumes which diminished local cuisines. This is said to have had some serious effects including malnutrition, poor feeding, and poor health. Others have said that it has contributed to droughts. However, Kenya's coastal region has continued to distinguish itself through its cuisine, as a result of which it has become and remained a popular food destination. In this episode Kamau Wairuri speaks to Mariah Sudi, a social scientist based both in Nairobi and Malindi, to gain a deeper understanding of the food culture in Kenya's coastal region. They discuss the history of Kenyan foods including the role colonialism played in shaping them, the confluence of cultures at the coast and their impact on the coastal cuisine as well as the gender dynamics that shape how food is prepared, served and consumed in the region. The episode is based on Maria's article on the same topic published by The Elephant. Please leave a comment to let us know what you think of the episode and rate us wherever you get your podcasts.

Brunei - A small island country from Asia's largest island Borneo. This pocket sized nation is a treasure house of history, culture, and folklore that dates back into an age beyond any recorded existence. While on the other hand, this is one of the richest countries in the world with the economy primarily being supported by global exports of crude oil, liquefied natural gas, and petroleum products. A land of legends and myths, anecdotes and opulence - that's magical Brunei and in this episode, I bring to you a magical story from this land. ______________________ Social Media: Instagram: ohhfolk_podcast | Twitter: OhhFolk_Podcast | Facebook: OhhFolk | ______________________ Credits: * Haji Jukim, Maslin.

THIS MEME IS A HARMFUL LIETHE THESIS: The Sexual Left is the tip of The Party's spear in the theft of the very meanings of the many kinds of love and the corresponding feelings and actions. If we ever hope to truly, intimately know The Lord we must rescue the reality of godly love in all its many aspects and expressions. THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES: 1 Corinthians 13:4-74 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.What Is Love? Jesus is the reason we even know what love is. In laying down His life for us, He taught us everything we need to know about true love. Love is self-sacrificing, generous, unending, not a temporary feeling or attraction. Because of God's love for the world, we know love is also undeserving and often unreciprocated.THE NEWS & COMMENT:Can anyone find love, godly or otherwise, in the PhD Thesis of the young man who conspired with the criminals who run the FBI to illegally censor Americans?

Evelyn Oatley dreams of becoming a stage star in London's glamorous theaterland. It's a world away from her grim provincial upbringing. The daughter of a German immigrant, her troubled home life was compounded by a wave of anti-German rioting that broke out during World War One. Tiring of both her job at a textile mill and her relationship with a local farmer, Evelyn ran off to London and transformed herself into budding starlet "Lita Ward". But she found neither fame nor fortune there... only danger. Sources: Andrews, Maggie and Lomas, Janis.

Revisionist history in the age of pharaohs. King Horemheb (“Horus in Celebration”) came to power in unusual circumstances. To justify his rule, the new pharaoh set about “retelling” his origins.

This week Amy is joined by Shannon Johnson to help us zoom in even further to more fully unpack the practice of polygamous marriage in the LDS church and its impact on individual women. Not only do we learn some surprising and essential history, but Shannon trusts us with the story of her own journey coming-of-age within the church community and wrestling with polygamy on a personal level. Shannon Olena Hyatt Johnson (she/her) grew up mostly in Utah and went to BYU, where she met her husband, who was also an English major. She has taught conversational English in Japan and Cairo, and now works in admin at Stanford. She is currently writing a master's thesis on race, polygamy, and the Mormon family. Shannon has three daughters and a non-binary child, ranging in age from 11 to 21. Shannon likes hiking, yoga, British tv, and trashy romance novels.

In this episode, Annie and Jenny continue their exploration of the women found in the margins of the Scottish Mountaineering Club Journal. It's Edinburgh in the early 1900s, and a climbing expedition up the Salisbury Crags is derailed when the public notice that there are women climbing alongside the men. Determined, the women keep climbing, but are forced to the edges of the day. This is the beginnings of The Scottish Ladies Climbing Club, founded by Jane Inglis Clark. Jane was the definition of trailblazing and believed that everyone, regardless of gender, deserved to explore the outdoors. The geologic significance of the Salisbury Crags as well as the ancient mythology swirling around Arthur's seat are uncovered in this trip to Auld Reekie. This is the second episode of our new series, Radical Mountain Women, funded by the Royal Society of Literature, and is inspired by the writing of the Scottish Mountaineering Journal. Some of the music you heard in this episode was beautifully played by Nicky Murray and Chloe Rodgers.

57: Watership Down and the Classics Written by Andrew Stevens Full references: Richard Adam's biographical note in the Puffin edition of Watership Down describes him as having “more than a passing acquaintance with the giants of English literature”(1)… ...The three great epics...Homer's Iliad and Odyssey and Virgil's Aeneid do seem to feature throughout the novel, as does the wider Greek Epic cycle...There are...scholarly works on structural similarities and narrative technique between the poems and the novel, Chapter 2 of Dr Hannah Parry's 2016 thesis “The Aeneid with Rabbits: Children's Fantasy as Modern Epic”(2) is one fine example.... Chapter 1 opens with a quote from Aeschylus' Agamemnon, the story of the Greek king's...homecoming after the sack of Troy...the destruction of a former home also matches how Aeneas tells his story to Queen Dido in Virgil's Aeneid (3). ...the available evidence strongly suggests that the English translation of the Agamemnon excerpt is Adams' own (4). ...The Warren of the Snares has been likened to the Lotus Eaters from the Odyssey (5) ...The Anabasis has been described by Michael Flower as the “master-plot” of the escape story in Western literature (6)... ...A parallel exists between the Anabasis and Watership Down... army vanguard reaches the summit of Mount Theces...They cry out “Thalatta! Thalatta!” “The Sea! The Sea”... (7), an event alone that has inspired entire scholarly works on its cultural significance (8). When Dandelion...cries out “You can see the whole world” (9), this is their Thalatta moment. Classical culture and history combine in the character of Bigwig...Before the battle, some sources state that the Persians invited the Greeks to lay down their arms and have their lives spared. They are said to have replied simply “Molon labe – come and get them” (10)...when Bigwig invites his Russian Warship of an opponent to “silflay hraka, u embleer rah”(11), his humour is crude, perfect and feels very Spartan. It is easy to draw a comparison of Hazel...and Bigwig...to Odysseus and Ajax in the Little Iliad...Bigwig's contempt for the idea of Hazel being superior to him in Chapter 11 (12), shows his view at this point that a strong rabbit could never answer to a weaker one. At the novels' climax, we learn in his explosive, revelatory statement of “My Chief Rabbit has told me to defend this run …”(13) that, unlike Ajax, Bigwig has accepted his and his rah's positions... A final note on Classics in Watership Down is the title of Chapter 48 (14). Dea ex Machina means “Goddess out of the Machine”... 1 WD p.479 2 Parry, pp.33-53 3 Parry, p.39 4 Bridgman, pp.161-2 5 Parry, pp.40-2 6 Flower, p.47 7 Anab. 4.7.11 8 Rood, 2004 9 WD, p.134 10 Cartledge, p.142 11 WD p.451 12 WD, p.68 13 WD p.454 14 WD, p.458 Primary sources Adams, Richard (1972) Watership Down, Puffin Books, Harmondsworth Xenophon Anabasis in Waterfield, R.

In this episode of Ventures, my guests Angela Angelovska-Wilson (https://www.linkedin.com/in/angela-angelovska-wilson-38600a1/), Mike Anderson (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikeandersonjr/), and I discuss three major issues with DAOs: (1) operational governance structures, (2) legal and jurisdiction issues, and (3) various types of incentives for founders and participants in DAOs. For informational purposes only, we talk specifically about our experience launching BanyanDAO (https://www.banyandao.xyz/), how Angela advises DAOs from a legal perspective given her background and extensive professional experience in the space, and how DAOs design incentive models. More than just financial incentives (which are, of course, important), DAOs should clearly communicate with their communities about the unique opportunity of learning/building together as a scaled and decentralized team from the start. Visit https://satchel.works/@wclittle/ventures-episode-86 for detailed notes and links to resources (videos, articles, etc…) mentioned. You can watch this episode via video here. 3:29 - More info about the episode setup: Operational governance, various legal structures, and different types of incentives.4:37 - Mike shares more background of what we've done with BanyanDAO thus far.6:08 - Angela shares more background about how she's approaching the DAO space with her legal background. 8:40 - What excites Will (and others) about DAOs is that it unlocks passion in a community setting to build together. 10:08 - Operational Governance from Mike's perspective. Front-row seat into BanyanDAO. What's that been like?12:04 - Operational Governance in DAOs from Angela's perspective.14:13 - Crawl/walk/run when launching a DAO. Discord, then Coordinape (for giving each other tokens), then DAOHaus (to manage proposals and treasury).16:00 - How do we help encourage appropriate self-assessment, management, DE&I, and performance?20:42 - Call-to-action for experienced leaders to step up and help with BanyanDAO, and for new leaders to learn how to lead from experienced leaders.21:58 - DAO legal considerations. 26:33 - What should DAOs be thinking about when hiring legal counsel?29:36 - Alexandra Sims' PhD Thesis: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3971228 // And Will's notes on it: https://satchel.works/@wclittle/phd-thesis-on-daos-summary-and-reflections 30:00 - All kinds of new legal structures being built for DAOs - how should DAO founders talk with their attorneys about the various entity types?33:44 - Incentives. Financial and non-financial. How should DAO founders/participants think about these? BanyanDAO is all about Human Flourishing. 37:07 - Maybe at some point in the future the value of treasury tokens and governance tokens could go up, but that is TBD.39:15 - How has Mike been thinking about the various types of incentives? (Thinking about it like a video game)40:31 - Nuts and bolts of what BanyanDAO is doing with Coordinape and DAOHaus.42:10 - How is Mike thinking about future incentive structures with BanyanDAO?43:28 - Vision for BanyanDAO, training Web3 product people.

This podcast has been brought to life as part of Charlotte Schuitenmaker's PhD Thesis on contemporary Indigenous musics in Australia, investigating the relations between activism, urbanism, and Indigeneity through music. Instead of using interviews for just her thesis, Charlotte wants to share the interviews with you. The stories are important, and this way they are more accessible. Please be advised that this podcast contains references to deceased persons. Gamilaroi and Wakka Wakka song man and didgeridoo player Gumaroy Newman and British-Australian flutist, pianist, and composer Keyna Wilkins talk about all things Yulugi; an ensemble they have set up about 3 years ago. From fuzzy Capricorn behaviour to the Scottish origins of the word “digeridoo,” to the Australian national anthem, we have talked about it all. Most importantly, we talked about how music of the “here and now” can celebrate humans in all our commonalities as well as our differences. Because in the end, we are all (going?) grey. This episode includes one of their songs at the end of our talk as well, make sure to stay tuned! Little spoiler alert: Jalal Mahamede is now a free man! He was released only a couple of weeks after we recorded this episode.
