The Vast Expansions of Hardware

At the Small Data conference recently, one of the talks looked at hardware advances. It was interesting to see a data perspective on hardware changes, as many of us only worry about the results of hardware: can I get my data quickly? In or out, most of us are more often worried about performance than specs. However, today I thought it might be fun to look at a few changes and numbers to get an idea of how our hardware has changed, in the march towards dealing with more and more data. Big data anyone? In thinking about disks, I saw a chart that looked at the changes from HDD (hard disk drives) to SDD (solid state drives) to NVMe (Nonvolatile Memory Express). These show read speeds going through the list from 80MB/S to 200MB/s to 5000+MB/s. That's a dramatic change, and not one only in high-end arrays. There are off-the-shelf drives you can put in a desktop that read this fast. If you think about some of the early IBM drives, which read at 8800b/s. Growth in disk speed, inside the timeline of our careers, has grown by a few orders of magnitude in read speed. Read the rest of The Vast Expansions of Hardware

The ‘I' (intermediate susceptibility) in a EUCAST-guided antibiogram never meant impending resistance to your antibiotic. It was never meant to make you find the one ‘S' (invariably a carbapenem) and use it instead—even if many clinicians did. In this episode of Communicable, hosts Marc Bonten and Angela Huttner welcome Profs. Christian Giske (outgoing chair) and Sören Gatermann (newly elected chair) of the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) to discuss its recent updates, including the new ‘susceptible dose dependent' (SDD) label, and to shed light on common misconceptions around the way it sets breakpoints. Breakpoints for Pseudomonas aeruginosa are discussed, as are intravenous fosfomycin's ‘disappearance' from the breakpoints table and EUCAST's new guidance on it.

Listen on: * Spotify* Apple Podcasts* Google PodcastsNote: the core discussion on ethics begins at 7:58 and moves into philosophy of language at ~1:12:19Daniel's stuff:* AI X-risk podcast * The Filan Cabined podcast* Personal website and blogBlurb and bulleted summary from ClongThis wide-ranging conversation between Daniel and Aaron touches on movies, business drama, philosophy of language, ethics and legal theory. The two debate major ethical concepts like utilitarianism and moral realism. Thought experiments around rational beings choosing to undergo suffering feature prominently. meandering tangents explore the semantics of names and references.* Aaron asserts that total utilitarianism does not imply that any amount of suffering can be morally justified by creating more happiness. His argument is that the affirmative case for this offsetting ability has not been clearly made.* He proposes a thought experiment - if offered to experience the suffering of all factory farmed animals in exchange for unlimited happiness, even a perfectly rational being would refuse. This indicates there are some levels of suffering not offsettable.* Aaron links this to experiences like hunger where you realize suffering can be worse than you appreciate normally. This causes his intuition some suffering can't be outweighed.* Daniel disagrees, believing with the right probabilities and magnitudes of suffering versus happiness, rational beings would take that gamble.* For example, Daniel thinks the atomic bombing of Japan could be offset by reducing more suffering. Aaron is less sure given the pain inflicted.* Daniel also proposes offsets for animal farming, but Aaron doesn't think factory farming harm is offsettable by any amount of enjoyment of meat.* They discuss definitions of rationality and whether evolution pressures against suicide impact the rationality of not killing oneself.* Aaron ties his argument to siding with what a perfectly rational being would choose to experience, not necessarily what they would prefer.* They debate whether hypothetical aliens pursuing "schmorality" could point to a concept truly analogous to human morality. Aaron believes not.Transcript(Very imperfect)AARONO'how's, it going it's going all right.DANIELYeah, I just so yesterday I saw Barbie and today I saw Oppenheimer, so it's good to oh, cool. That cultural.AARONNice, nice.DANIELDo you have takes? Yeah, I thought it was all right. It was a decent view of Oppenheimer as a person. It was like a how? I don't know. I feel like the public can tend to be taken in by this physicist figures you get this with quotes, right? Like, the guy was just very good at having fun with journalists, and now we get these amazing nuggets of wisdom from Einstein. I don't know. I think that guy was just having good I don't know. The thing that I'm coming away from is I thought I only watched Barbie because it was coming out on the same day as Oppenheimer, right? Like, otherwise it wouldn't have occurred to me to watch it. I was like, yeah, whatever. Barbie is, like, along for the ride, and Oppenheimer is going to be amazing, but in like, maybe Oppenheimer was a bit better than Barbie, but I'm not even sure of that, actually.AARONYeah, I've been seeing people say that on Twitter. I haven't seen either, but I've been seeing several people say that I'm following, say, like, Barbie was exceptional. And also that kind of makes sense because I'm following all these EA people who are probably care more about the subject matter for the latter one. So it's like, I kind of believe that Barbie is, like, aesthetically better or something. That's my take. Right.DANIELGuess. Well, if you haven't seen them, I guess I don't want to spoil them for you. They're trying to do different things aesthetically. Right. Like, I'm not quite sure I'd want to say one is aesthetically better. Probably in some ways, I think Barbie probably has more aesthetic blunders than Oppenheimer does. Okay. But yeah, I don't know if you haven't seen it, I feel like I don't want to spoil it for you.AARONOkay. No, that's fine. This isn't supposed to be like probably isn't the most important the most interesting thing we could be talking about is that the bar?DANIELOh, jeez.AARONOh, no, that's a terrible bar. That was like an overstatement. That would be a very high bar. It would also be, like, kind of paralyzing. I don't know. Actually know what that would be, honestly. Probably some social juicy gossip thing. Not that we necessarily have any.DANIELYeah, I think your interestingness. Yeah, I think I don't have the know, the closest to gossip thing I saw was like, do you see this bit of Carolyn Elson's diaries and letters to SBF that was leaked to the.AARONNo, I don't. Was this like today or recently? How recently?DANIELThis was like a few days ago.AARONI've been seeing her face on Twitter, but I don't actually think I know anything about this. And no, I would not have.DANIELBackground of who she is and stuff.AARONYeah, hold on. Let the audience know that I am on a beach family vacation against my will. Just kidding. Not against my will. And I have to text my sister back. Okay, there we go. I mean, I broadly know the FTX story. I know that she was wait, I'm like literally blanking on the Alameda.DANIELThat's the name of research.AARONOkay. Yeah. So she was CEO, right? Yeah. Or like some sort of like I think I know the basics.DANIELThe like, she was one of the OG Stanford EA people and was around.AARONYeah, that's like a generation. Not an actual generation, like an EA generation. Which is what, like six years or.DANIELLike the I don't know, I've noticed like, in the there's like I feel like there's this gap between pre COVID people and post COVID people. No one left their house. Partly people moved away, but also you were inside for a while and never saw anyone in person. So it felt like, oh, there's like this crop of new people or something. Whereas in previous years, there'd be some number of new people per year and they'd get gradually integrated in. Anyway, all that is to say that, I don't know, I think SBF's side of the legal battle leaked some documents to The New York Times, which were honestly just like her saying, like, oh, I feel very stressed and I don't like my job, and I'm sort of glad that the thing is blown up now. I don't know. It honestly wasn't that salacious. But I think that's, like, the way I get in the loop on gossip like some of the New York Times.AARONAnd I eventually I love how it's funny that this particular piece of gossip is, like, running through the most famous and prestigious news organization in the world. Or, like, one of them or something. Yeah. Instead of just being like, oh, yeah, these two people are dating, or whatever. Anyway, okay, I will maybe check that out.DANIELYeah, I mean, honestly, it's not even that interesting.AARONThe whole thing is pretty I am pretty. This is maybe bad, but I can't wait to watch the Michael Lewis documentary, pseudo documentary or whatever.DANIELYeah, it'll be good to read the book. Yeah, it's very surreal. I don't know. I was watching Oppenheimer. Right. And I have to admit, part of what I'm thinking is be if humanity survives, there's going to be this style movie about open AI, presumably, right? And I'm like, oh, man, it'll be amazing to see my friend group depicted on film. But that is going to happen. It's just going to be about FTX and about how they're all criminals. So that's not great.AARONYeah, actually, everybody dunks on crypto now, and it's like low status now or whatever. I still think it's really cool. I never had more than maybe $2,000 or whatever, which is not a trivial I mean, it's not a large amount of my money either, but it's not like, nothing. But I don't know, if it wasn't for all the cultural baggage, I feel like I would be a crypto bro or I would be predisposed to being a crypto bro or something.DANIELYeah. I should say I was like joking about the greedy crypto people who want their money to not be stolen. I currently have a Monero sticker on the back of my a big I don't know, I'm a fan of the crypto space. It seems cool. Yeah. I guess especially the bit that is less about running weird scams. The bit that's running weird scams I'm less of a fan of.AARONYeah. Yes. I'm also anti scam. Right, thank you. Okay, so I think that thing that we were talking about last time we talked, which is like the thing I think we actually both know stuff about instead of just like, repeating New York Times articles is my nuanced ethics takes and why you think about talk about that and then we can just also branch off from there.DANIELYeah, we can talk about that.AARONMaybe see where that did. I luckily I have a split screen up, so I can pull up things. Maybe this is kind of like egotistical or something to center my particular view, but you've definitely given me some of the better pushback or whatever that I haven't gotten that much feedback of any kind, I guess, but it's still interesting to hear your take. So basically my ethical position or the thing that I think is true is that which I think is not the default view. I think most people think this is wrong is that total utilitarianism does not imply that for some amount of suffering that could be created there exists some other extremely large arbitrarily, large amount of happiness that could also be created which would morally justify the former. Basically.DANIELSo you think that even under total utilitarianism there can be big amounts of suffering such that there's no way to morally tip the calculus. However much pleasure you can create, it's just not going to outweigh the fact that you inflicted that much suffering on some people.AARONYeah, and I'd highlight the word inflicted if something's already there and you can't do anything about it, that's kind of neither here nor there as it pertains to your actions or something. So it's really about you increasing, you creating suffering that wouldn't have otherwise been created. Yeah. It's also been a couple of months since I've thought about this in extreme detail, although I thought about it quite a bit. Yeah.DANIELMaybe I should say my contrary view, I guess, when you say that, I don't know, does total utilitarianism imply something or not? I'm like, well, presumably it depends on what we mean by total utilitarianism. Right. So setting that aside, I think that thesis is probably false. I think that yeah. You can offset great amounts of suffering with great amounts of pleasure, even for arbitrary amounts of suffering.AARONOkay. I do think that position is like the much more common and even, I'd say default view. Do you agree with that? It's sort of like the implicit position of people who are of self described total utilitarians who haven't thought a ton about this particular question.DANIELYeah, I think it's probably the implicit default. I think it's the implicit default in ethical theory or something. I think that in practice, when you're being a utilitarian, I don't know, normally, if you're trying to be a utilitarian and you see yourself inflicting a large amount of suffering, I don't know. I do think there's some instinct to be like, is there any way we can get around this?AARONYeah, for sure. And to be clear, I don't think this would look like a thought experiment. I think what it looks like in practice and also I will throw in caveats as I see necessary, but I think what it looks like in practice is like, spreading either wild animals or humans or even sentient digital life through the universe. That's in a non as risky way, but that's still just maybe like, say, making the earth, making multiple copies of humanity or something like that. That would be an example that's probably not like an example of what an example of creating suffering would be. For example, just creating another duplicate of earth. Okay.DANIELAnything that would be like so much suffering that we shouldn't even the pleasures of earth outweighs.AARONNot necessarily, which is kind of a cop out. But my inclination is that if you include wild animals, the answer is yes, that creating another earth especially. Yeah, but I'm much more committed to some amount. It's like some amount than this particular time and place in human industry is like that or whatever.DANIELOkay, can I get a feel of some other concrete cases to see?AARONYeah.DANIELSo one example that's on my mind is, like, the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, right? So the standard case for this is, like, yeah, what? A hundred OD thousand people died? Like, quite terrible, quite awful. And a lot of them died, I guess a lot of them were sort of some people were sort of instantly vaporized, but a lot of people died in extremely painful ways. But the countercase is like, well, the alternative to that would have been like, an incredibly grueling land invasion of Japan, where many more people would have died or know regardless of what the actual alternatives were. If you think about the atomic bombings, do you think that's like the kind of infliction of suffering where there's just not an offsetting amount of pleasure that could make that okay?AARONMy intuition is no, that it is offsettable, but I would also emphasize that given the actual historical contingencies, the alternative, the implicit case for the bombing includes reducing suffering elsewhere rather than merely creating happiness. There can definitely be two bad choices that you have to make or something. And my claim doesn't really pertain to that, at least not directly.DANIELRight. Sorry. But when you said you thought your answer was no, you think you can't offset that with pleasure?AARONMy intuition is that you can, but I know very little about how painful those deaths were and how long they lasted.DANIELYeah, so the non offset so it's like, further out than atomic bombing.AARONThat's my guess, but I'm like.DANIELOkay, sure, that's your guess. You're not super confident. That's fine. I guess another thing would be, like, the animal farming system. So, as you're aware, tons of animals get kept in farms for humans to eat, by many count. Many of them live extremely horrible lives. Is there some amount that humans could enjoy meat such that that would be okay?AARONNo. So the only reason I'm hesitating is because, like, the question is, like, what the actual alternative is here, but, like, if it's like, if it's, like, people enjoy, like, a meat a normal amount and there's no basically the answer is no. Although, like, what I would actually endorse doing depends on what the alternative is.DANIELOkay, but you think that factory farming is so bad that it's not offsettable by pleasure.AARONYeah, that's right. I'm somewhat maybe more confident than the atomic bombing case, but again, I don't know what it's like to be a factory farm pig. I wouldn't say I'm, like, 99% sure. Probably more than 70% or something. Or 70%, like, conditional on me being right about this thesis, I guess something like that, which I'm like. Yeah, okay. I don't know. Some percent, maybe, not probably not 99% sure, but also more than 60. Probably more than 70% sure or something.DANIELAll right. Yeah. So I guess maybe can you tell us a little bit about why you would believe that there's some threshold that you like where you can no longer compensate by permitting pleasure?AARONYes. Let me run through my argument and sort of a motivation, and the motivation actually is sort of more a direct answer to what you just said. So the actual argument that I have and I have a blog post about this that I'll link, it was part of an EA forum post also that you'll also link in the show description is that the affirmative default case doesn't seem to actually be made anywhere. That's not the complete argument, but it's a core piece of it, which is that it seems to be, like, the default received view, which doesn't mean it's wrong, but does mean that we should be skeptical. If you accept that I'm right, that the affirmative case hasn't been made, we can talk about that. Then you should default to some other heuristic. And the heuristic that I assert and sort of argue, but kind of just assert is a good heuristic is. Okay. Is you do the following thought experiment. If I was a maximally or perfectly rational being, would I personally choose to undergo this amount of suffering in compensation or not compensation, exchange for later undergoing or earlier undergoing some arbitrarily large amount of happiness. And I personally have the intuition that there are events or things that certainly conceivable states and almost certainly possible states that I could be in such that even as a rational being, like as a maximum rational being, I would choose to just disappear and not exist rather than undergo both of these things.DANIELOkay.AARONYeah.DANIELWhy do you think that?AARONYeah, so good question. I think the answer comes at a couple of different levels. So there's a question of why I'm saying it and why I'm saying it is because I'm pretty sure this is the answer I would actually give if actually given if Credibly offered this option. But that just pushes the question back. Okay, why do I feel that.DANIELEven what option are we talking about here? There exists a thing such that for.AARONAll pleasures, basically, for example, let's just run with the fact, the assumption that a genie God descends. And I think it's credible, and he offers that I can live the life of every factory, farmed animal in exchange for whatever I want for any amount of time or something like that. Literally, I don't have to give the answer now. It can just be like an arbitrarily good state for an arbitrarily long period of time.DANIELOh, yeah.AARONAnd not only would I say the words no, I don't want to do that, I think that the words no, I don't want to do that, are selfishly in a non pejorative sense. Correct. And then there's a question of why do I have that intuition? And now I'm introspecting, which is maybe not super reliable. I think part of my intuition that I can kind of maybe sort of access via introspection just comes from basically, I'm very fortunate to not have had a mostly relatively comfortable life, like as a Westerner with access to painkillers, living in the 21st century. Even still, there have definitely been times when I've been suffered, at least not in a relative sense, but just like, in an absolute sense to me, in a pretty bad way. And one example I can give was just like, I was on a backpacking trip, and this is the example I give in another blog post I can link. I was on a backpacking trip, and we didn't have enough food, and I was basically very hungry for like five days. And I actually think that this is a good and I'm rambling on, but I'll finish up. I think it's illustrative. I think there's some level of suffering where you're still able to do at least for me, I'm still able to do something like reasoning and intentionally storing memories. One of the memories I tried to intentionally codify via language or something was like, yeah, this is really bad, this really sucks, or something like, that what.DANIELSucked about it, you were just like, really hungry yeah.AARONFor five days.DANIELOkay. And you codified the thought, like, feeling of this hunger I'm feeling, this really sucks.AARONSomething like that. Right. I could probably explicate it more, but that's basically okay. Actually, hold on. All right. Let me add so not just it really sucks, but it sucks in a way that I can't normally appreciate, so I don't normally have access to how bad it sucks. I don't want to forget about this later or something.DANIELYeah. The fact that there are pains that are really bad where you don't normally appreciate how bad they are, it's not clear how that implies non offset ability.AARONRight, I agree. It doesn't.DANIELOkay.AARONI do think that's causally responsible for my intuition that I lend link to a heuristic that I then argue does constitute an argument in the absence of other arguments for offset ability.DANIELYeah. Okay. So that causes this intuition, and then you give some arguments, and the argument is like, you think that if a genie offered you to live liable factory farmed animals in exchange for whatever you wanted, you wouldn't go for that.AARONYes. And furthermore, I also wouldn't go for it if I was much more rational.DANIELIf you were rational, yeah. Okay. Yeah. What do I think about this? One thing I think is that the I think the case of live experience this suffering and then experience this pleasure, to me, I think that this is kind of the wrong way to go about this. Because the thing about experiencing suffering is that it's not just we don't live in this totally dualistic world where suffering just affects only your immaterial mind or something in a way where afterwards you could just be the same. In the real world, suffering actually affects you. Right. Perhaps indelibly. I think instead, maybe the thing I'd want to say is suppose you're offered a gamble, right, where there's like a 1% chance that you're going to have to undergo excruciating suffering and a 99% chance that you get extremely awesome pleasures or something.AARONYeah.DANIELAnd this is meant to model a situation in which you do some action in which one person is going to undergo really bad suffering and 99 other people are going to undergo really great pleasure. And to me, I guess my intuition is that for any bad thing, you could make the probability small enough and you can make the rest of the probability mass good enough that I want to do that. I feel like that's worth it for me. And now it feels a little bit unsatisfying that we're just going that we're both drilling down to, like, well, this is the choice I would make, and then maybe you can disagree that it's the choice you would make. But yeah, I guess about the gambling case, what do you think about that? Let's say it's literally a one in a million chance that you would have to undergo, let's say, the life of one factory farmed animal.AARONYeah.DANIELOr is that not enough? Do you want it to be like, more?AARONWell, I guess it would have to be like one of the worst factory farmed animals. Life, I think would make that like.DANIELYeah, okay, let's say it's like, maybe literally one in a billion chance.AARONFirst of all, I do agree that these are basically isomorphic or morally equivalent, or if anything, time ordering in my example does mess things up a little bit, I'll be happy to reverse them or say that instead compare one person to 1000 people. So, yeah, you can make the probability small enough that my intuition changes. Yeah. So in fact, 1%, I'm very like, no, definitely not doing that. One in a million. I'm like, I don't know, kind of 50 50. I don't have a strong intuition either way. 100 trillion. I have the intuition. You know what? That's just not going to happen. That's my first order intuition. I do think that considering the case where you live, one being lives both lives, or you have, say, one being undergoing the suffering and then like 100 trillion undergoing the pleasure makes small probabilities more if you agree that they're sort of isomorphic makes them more complete or something like that, or complete more real in some. Not tangible is not the right word, but more right.DANIELYou're less tempted to round it to zero.AARONYeah. And so I tend to think that I trust my intuitions more about reasoning. Okay, there's one person undergoing suffering and like 100 trillion undergoing happiness as it pertains to the question of offset ability more than I trust my intuitions about small probabilities.DANIELI guess that's strange because that strikes me as strange because I feel like you're regularly in situations where you make choices that have some probability of causing you quite bad suffering, but a large probability of being fun. Like going to the beach. There could be a shark there. I guess this is maybe against your will, but you can go to a restaurant, maybe get food poisoning, but how often are you like, oh man, if I flip this switch, one person will be poisoned, but 99 people will?AARONWell, then you'd have to think that, okay, staying home would actually be safer for some reason, which I don't affirmatively think is true, but this actually does work out for the question of whether you should kill yourself. And there hopefully this doesn't get censored by Apple or whatever, so nobody do that. But there I just think that my lizard brain or there's enough evolutionary pressure to not trust that I would be rational when it comes to the question of whether to avoid a small chance of suffering by unaliving myself, as they say on TikTok.DANIELHang on, evolution is pressured. So there's some evolutionary pressure to make sure you really don't want to kill yourself, but you think that's like, irrational.AARONI haven't actually given this a ton of thought. It gets hard when you loop in altruism and yeah, the question also there's like some chance that of sentient's after death, there's not literally zero or something like that. Yeah, I guess those are kind of cop outs. So I don't know, I feel like it certainly could be. And I agree this is sort of like a strike against my argument or something. I can set up a situation you have no potential to improve the lives of others, and you can be absolutely sure that you're not going to experience any sentience after death. And then I feel like my argument does kind of imply that, yeah, that's like the rational thing to do. I wouldn't do it. Right. So I agree. This is like a strike against me.DANIELYeah. I guess I just want to make two points. So the first point I want to make is just methodologically. If we're talking about which are you likely to be more rational about gambles of small risks, small probabilities of risk versus large rewards as opposed to situations where you can do a thing that affects a large number of people one way and a small number of people another way? I think the gambles are more like decisions that you make a bunch and you should be rational about and then just the second thing in terms of like, I don't know, I took you to be making some sort of argument along the lines of there's evolutionary pressure to want to not kill yourself. Therefore, that's like a debunking explanation. The fact that there was evolutionary pressure to not kill ourselves means that our instinct that we shouldn't kill ourselves is irrational. Whereas I would tend to look at it and say the fact that there was very strong evolutionary pressure to not kill ourselves is an explanation of why I don't want to kill myself. And I see that as affirming the choice to not kill myself, actually.AARONWell, I just want to say I don't think it's an affirmative argument that it is irrational. I think it opens up the question. I think it means it's more plausible that for other I guess not even necessarily for other reasons, but it just makes it more plausible that it is irrational. Well.DANIELYeah, I take exactly the opposite view. Okay. I think that if I'm thinking about, like, oh, what do I really want? If I consider my true preferences, do I really want to kill myself or something? And then I learn that, oh, evolution has shaped me to not kill myself, I think the inference I should make is like, oh, I guess probably the way evolution did that is that it made it such that my true desires are to not kill myself.AARONYeah. So one thing is I just don't think preferences have any intrinsic value. So I don't know, we might just like I guess I should ask, do you agree with that or disagree with.DANIELThat do I think preferences have intrinsic value? No, but so no, but I think like, the whole game here is like, what do I prefer? Or like, what would I prefer if I understood things really clearly?AARONYes. And this is something I didn't really highlight or maybe I didn't say it at all, is that I forget if I really argue it or kind of just assert it, but I at least assert that the answer to hedonic utilitarian. What you should do under hedonic utilitarianism is maybe not identical to, but exactly the same as what a rational agent would do or what a rational agent would prefer if they were to experience everything that this agent would cause. Or something like that. And so these should give you the exact same answers is something I believe sure. Because I do think preferences are like we're built to understand or sort of intuit and reason about our own preferences.DANIELKind of, yeah. But broadly, I guess the point I'm making at a high level is just like if we're talking about what's ethical or what's good or whatever, I take this to ultimately be a question about what should I understand myself as preferring? Or to the extent that it's not a question of that, then it's like, I don't know, then I'm a bit less interested in the exercise.AARONYeah. It's not ideal that I appeal to this fake and that fake ideally rational being or something. But here's a reason you might think it's more worth thinking about this. Maybe you've heard about I think Tomasic makes an argument about yeah. At least in principle, you can have a pig that's in extreme pain but really doesn't want to be killed still or doesn't want to be taken out of its suffering or whatever, true ultimate preference or whatever. And so at least I think this is pretty convincing evidence that you can have where that's just like, wrong about what would be good for it, you know what I mean?DANIELYeah, sorry, I'm not talking about preference versus hedonic utilitarianism or anything. I'm talking about what do I want or what do I want for living things or something. That's what I'm talking about.AARONYeah. That language elicits preferences to me and I guess the analogous but the idea.DANIELIs that the answer to what I want for living things could be like hedonic utilitarianism, if you see what I mean.AARONOr it could be by that do you mean what hedonic utilitarianism prescribes?DANIELYeah, it could be that what I want is that just whatever maximizes beings pleasure no matter what they want.AARONYeah. Okay. Yeah, so I agree with that.DANIELYeah. So anyway, heading back just to the suicide case right. If I learn that evolution has shaped me to not want to kill myself, then that makes me think that I'm being rational in my choice to not kill myself.AARONWhy?DANIELBecause being rational is something like optimally achieving your goals. And I'm a little bit like I sort of roughly know the results of killing myself, right? There might be some question about like, but what are my goals? And if I learned that evolution has shaped my goals such that I would hate killing myself right, then I'm like, oh, I guess killing myself probably ranks really low on the list of states ordered by how much I like them.AARONYeah, I guess then it seems like you have two mutually incompatible goals. Like, one is staying alive and one is hedonic utilitarianism and then you have to choose which of these predominates or whatever.DANIELYeah, well, I think that to the extent that evolution is shaping me to not want to commit suicide, it looks like the not killing myself one is winning. I think it's evidence. I don't think it's conclusive. Right. Because there could be multiple things going on. But I take evolutionary explanations for why somebody would want X. I think that's evidence that they are rational in pursuing X rather than evidence that they are irrational in pursuing X.AARONSometimes that's true, but not always. Yeah, there's a lot in general it is. Yeah. But I feel like moral anti realistic, we can also get into that. Are going to not think this is like woo or Joe Carl Smith says when he's like making fun of moralists I don't know, in a tongue in cheek way. In one of his posts arguing for explicating his stance on antirealism basically says moral realists want to say that evolution is not sensitive to moral reasons and therefore evolutionary arguments. Actually, I don't want to quote him from memory. I'll just assert that evolution is sensitive to a lot of things, but one of them is not moral reasons and therefore evolutionary arguments are not a good evidence or are not good evidence when it comes to purely, maybe not even purely, but philosophical claims or object level moral claims, I guess, yeah, they can be evidenced by something, but not that.DANIELYeah, I think that's wrong because I think that evolution why do I think it's wrong? I think it's wrong because what are we talking about when we talk about morality? We're talking about some logical object that's like the completion of a bunch of intuitions we have. Right. And those I haven't thought about intuitions are the product of evolution. The reason we care about morality at all is because of evolution under the standard theory that evolution is the reason our brains are the way they are.AARONYeah, I think this is a very strange coincidence and I am kind of weirded out by this, but yes, I.DANIELDon'T think it's a coincidence or like not a coincidence.AARONSo it's not a coincidence like conditional honor, evolutionary history. It is like no extremely lucky or something that we like, of course we'd find it earthlings wound up with morality and stuff. Well, of course you would.DANIELWait. Have you read the metafic sequence by Elizar? Yudkowski.AARONI don't think so. And I respect Elias a ton, except I think he's really wrong about ethics and meta ethics in a lot of like I don't even know if I but I have not, so I'm not really giving them full time.DANIELOkay. I don't know. I basically take this from my understanding of the meta ethics sequence, which I recommend people read, but I don't think it's a coincidence. I don't think we got lucky. I think it's a coincidence. There are some species that get evolved, right, and they end up caring about schmorality, right?AARONYeah.DANIELAnd there are some species that get evolved, right? And they end up caring about the prime numbers or whatever, and we evolved and we ended up caring about morality. And it's not like a total so, okay, partly I'm just like, yeah, each one of them is really glad they didn't turn out to be the other things. The ones that care about two of.AARONThem are wrong, but two of them are wrong.DANIELWell, they're morally wrong. Two of them do morally wrong things all the time. Right?AARONI want to say that I hate when people say that. Sorry. So what I am saying is that you can call those by different names, but if I'm understanding this argument right, they all think that they're getting at the same core concept, which is like, no, what should we do in some okay, so does schmorality have any sort of normativity?DANIELNo, it has schmormativity.AARONOkay, well, I don't know what schmormativity is.DANIELYou know how normativity I feel like that's good. Schmormativity is about promoting the schmud.AARONOkay, so it sounds like that's just normativity, except it's normativity about different propositions. That's what it sounds like.DANIELWell, basically, I don't know, instead of these schmalians wait, no, they're aliens. They're not shmalians. They're aliens. They just do a bunch of schmud things, right? They engage in projects, they try and figure out what the schmud is. They pursue a schmud and then they look at humans, they're like, oh, these humans are doing morally good things. That's horrible. I'm so glad that we pursue the schmood instead.AARONYeah, I don't know if it's incoherent. I don't think they're being incoherent. Your description of a hypothetical let's just take for granted whatever in the thought experiment is in fact happening. I think your description is not correct. And the reason it's not correct is because there is like, what's a good analogy? So when it comes to abstract concepts in general, it is very possible for okay, I feel like it's hard to explain directly, but here an analogy, is you can have two different people who have very different conceptions of justice, but fundamentally are earnestly trying to get at the same thing. Maybe justice isn't well defined or isn't like, actually, I should probably have come up with a good example here. But you know what? I'm happy to change the word for what I use as morality or whatever, but it has the same core meaning, which is like, okay, really, what should you do at the end of the day?DANIELYeah.AARONWhat should you do?DANIELWhereas they care about morality, which is what they should do, which is a different thing. They have strong desires to do what they should do.AARONI don't think it is coherent to say that there are multiple meanings of the word should or multiple kinds. Yeah.DANIELNo, there aren't.AARONSorry. There aren't multiple meanings of the word should. Fine.DANIELThere's just a different word, which is schmood, which means something different, and that's what their desires are pegged to.AARONI don't think it's coherent, given what you've already the entire picture, I think, is incoherent. Given everything else besides the word schmoud, it is incoherent to assert that there is something broadly not analogous, like maybe isomorphic to normativity or, like, the word should. Yeah. There is only what's yeah. I feel like I'm not gonna I'm not gonna be able to verbalize it super well. I do. Yeah. Can you take something can you pick.DANIELA sentence that I said that was wrong or that was incoherent?AARONWell, it's all wrong because these aliens don't exist.DANIELThe aliens existed.AARONOkay, well, then we're debating, like, I actually don't know. It depends. You're asserting something about their culture and psychology, and then the question is, like, are you right or wrong about that? If we just take for granted that you're right, then you're right. All right. I'm saying no, you can't be sure. So conditional on being right, you're right. Then there's a question of, like, okay, what is the probability? So, like, conditional on aliens with something broad, are you willing to accept this phrase, like, something broadly analogous to morality? Is that okay?DANIELYeah, sure.AARONOkay. So if we accept that there's aliens with something broadly analogous to morality, then you want to say that they can have not only a different word, but truly a pointer to a different concept. And I think that's false.DANIELSo you think that in conceptual space, there's morality and that there's, like, nothing near it for miles.AARONThe study, like yeah, basically. At least when we're talking about, like, the like, at the at the pre conclusion stage. So, like, before you get to the point where you're like, oh, yeah, I'm certain that, like, the answer is just that we need, like, we need to make as many tennis balls as possible or whatever the general thing of, like, okay, broadly, what is the right thing to do? What should I do? Would it be good for me to do this cluster of things yeah. Is, like, miles from everything else.DANIELOkay. I think there's something true to that. I think I agree with that in some ways and on others, my other response is I think it's not a total coincidence that humans ended up caring about morality. I think if you look at these evolutionary arguments for why humans would be motivated to pursue morality. They rely on very high level facts. Like, there are a bunch of humans around. There's not one human who's, like, a billion times more powerful than everyone else. We have language. We talk through things. We reason. We need to make decisions. We need to cooperate in certain ways to produce stuff. And it's not about the fact that we're bipedal or something. So in that sense, I think it's not a total coincidence that we ended up caring about morality. And so in some sense, I think because that's true, you could maybe say you couldn't slightly tweak our species that it cared about something other than morality, which is kind of like saying that there's nothing that close to morality in concept space.AARONBut I think I misspoke earlier what I should have said is that it's very weird that we care about that most people at least partially care about suffering and happiness. I think that's just a true statement. Sorry, that is the weird thing. Why is it weird? The weird thing is that it happens to be correct, even though I only.DANIELHave what do you mean it's correct?AARONNow we have to get okay, so this is going into moral realism. I think moral realism is true, at least.DANIELSorry, what do you mean by moral realism? Wait, different by moral realism?AARONYes. So I actually have sort of a weak version of moral realism, which is, like, not that normative statements are true, but that there is, like, an objective. So if you can rank hypothetical states of the world in an ordinal way such that one is objectively better than another.DANIELYes. Okay. I agree with that, by the way. I think that's true. Okay.AARONIt sounds like you're a moral realist.DANIELYeah, I am.AARONOkay. Oh, really? Okay. I don't know. I thought you weren't. Okay, cool.DANIELLots of people in my reference class aren't. I think most Bay Area rationalists are not moral realists, but I am.AARONOkay. Maybe I was confused. Okay, that's weird. Okay. Sorry about that. Wait, so what do I mean by it happens to be true? It's like it happens to coincide with yeah, sorry, go ahead.DANIELYou said it happens to be correct that we care about morality or that we care about suffering and pleasure and something and stuff.AARONMaybe that wasn't the ideal terminology it happens to so, like, it's not morally correct? The caring about it isn't the morally correct thing. It seems sort of like the caring is instrumentally useful in promoting what happens to be legitimately good or something. Or, like legitimately good or something like that.DANIELBut but I think, like so the aliens could say a similar thing, right? They could say, like, oh, hey, we've noticed that we all care about schmurality. We all really care about promoting Schmeasure and avoiding Schmuffering. Right? And they'd say, like, they'd say, like, yeah, what's? What's wrong?AARONI feel like it's not maybe I'm just missing something, but at least to me, it's like, only adding to the confusion to talk about two different concepts of morality rather than just like, okay, this alien thinks that you should tile the universe paperclips, or something like that, or even that more reasonably, more plausibly. Justice is like that. Yeah. I guess this gets back to there's only one concept anywhere near that vicinity in concept space or something. Maybe we disagree about that. Yeah.DANIELOkay. If I said paperclips instead of schmorality, would you be happy?AARONYes.DANIELI mean, cool, okay, for doing the.AARONMorally correct thing and making me happy.DANIELI strive to. But take the paperclipper species, right? What they do is they notice, like, hey, we really care about making paperclips, right? And, hey, the fact that we care about making paperclips, that's instrumentally useful in making sure that we end up making a bunch of paperclips, right? Isn't that an amazing coincidence that we ended up caring our desires were structured in this correct way that ends up with us making a bunch of paperclips. Is that like, oh, no, total coincidence. That's just what you cared about.AARONYou left at the part where they assert that they're correct about this. That's the weird thing.DANIELWhat proposition are they correct about?AARONOr sorry, I don't think they're correct implicitly.DANIELWhat proposition do they claim they're correct about?AARONThey claim that the world in which there is many paperclips is better than the world in which there is fewer paperclips.DANIELOh, no, they just think it's more paperclipy. They don't think it's better. They don't care about goodness. They care about paperclips.AARONSo it sounds like we're not talking about anything remotely like morality, then, because I could say, yeah, morality, morality. It's pretty airy. It's a lot of air in here. I don't know, maybe I'm just confused.DANIELNo, what I'm saying is, so you're like, oh, it's like this total coincidence that humans we got so lucky. It's so weird that humans ended up caring about morality, and it's like, well, we had to care about something, right? Like anything we don't care about.AARONOh, wow, sorry, I misspoke earlier. And I think that's generating some confusion. I think it's a weird coincidence that we care about happiness and suffering.DANIELHappiness and suffering, sorry. Yeah, but mutatus mutantus, I think you want to say that's like a weird coincidence. And I'm like, well, we had to care about something.AARONYeah, but it could have been like, I don't know, could it have been otherwise, right? At least conceivably it could have been otherwise.DANIELYeah, the paperclip guys, they're like, conceivably, we could have ended up caring about pleasure and suffering. I'm so glad we avoided that.AARONYeah, but they're wrong and we're right.DANIELRight about what?AARONAnd then maybe I don't agree. Maybe this isn't the point you're making. I'm sort of saying that in a blunt way to emphasize it. I feel like people should be skeptical when I say, like okay, I have good reason to think that even though we're in a very similar epistemic position, I have reason to believe that we're right and not the aliens. Right. That's like a hard case to make, but I do think it's true.DANIELThere's no proposition that the aliens and us disagree on yes.AARONThe intrinsic value of pleasure and happiness.DANIELYeah, no, they don't care about value. They care about schmalu, which is just.AARONLike, how much paperclips there is. I don't think that's coherent. I don't think they can care about value.DANIELOkay.AARONThey can, but only insofar as it's a pointer to the exact same not exact, but like, basically the same concept as our value.DANIELSo do you reject the orthogonality thesis?AARONNo.DANIELOkay. I think that is super intelligent.AARONYeah.DANIELSo I take the orthogonality thesis to mean that really smart agents can be motivated by approximately any desires. Does that sound right to you?AARONYeah.DANIELSo what if the desire is like, produce a ton of paperclips?AARONYeah, it can do that descriptively. It's not morally good.DANIELOh, no, it's not morally good at all. They're not trying to be morally good. They're just trying to produce a bunch of paperclips.AARONOkay, in that case, we don't disagree. Yeah, I agree. This is like a conceivable state of the world.DANIELYeah. But what I'm trying to say is when you say it's weird that we got lucky the reason you think it's weird is that you're one of the humans who cares about pleasure and suffering. Whereas if you were one of the aliens who cared about paperclips. The analogous shmarin instead of Aaron would be saying, like, oh, it's crazy that we care about paperclips, because that actually causes us to make a ton of paperclips.AARONDo they intrinsically care about paperclips or is it a means of cement?DANIELIntrinsically, like, same as in the Orphogonality thesis.AARONDo they experience happiness because of the paperclips or is it more of a functional intrinsic value?DANIELI think they probably experience happiness when they create paperclips, but they're not motivated by the happiness. They're motivated by like, they're happy because they succeeded at their goal of making tons of paperclips. If they can make tons of paperclips but not be happy about it, they'd be like, yeah, we should do that. Sorry. No, they wouldn't. They'd say, like, we should do that and then they would do it.AARONWould your case still work if we just pretended that they're not sentient?DANIELYeah, sure.AARONOkay. I think this makes it cleaner for both sides. Yeah, in that case, yes. So I think the thing that I reject is that there's an analog term that's anything like morality in their universe. They can use a different word, but it's pointing to the same concept.DANIELWhen you say anything like morality. So the shared concepts sorry, the shared properties between morality and paperclip promotion is just that you have a species that is dedicated to promoting it.AARONI disagree. I think morality is about goodness and badness.DANIELYes, that's right.AARONOkay. And I think it is totally conceivable. Not even conceivable. So humans wait, what's a good example? In some sense I intrinsically seem to value about regular. I don't know if this is a good example. Let's run with it intrinsically value like regulating my heartbeat. It happens to be true that this is conducive to my happiness and at least local non suffering. But even if it weren't, my brain stem would still try really hard to keep my heart beating or something like that. I reject that there's any way in which promoting heart beatingness is an intrinsic moral or schmoral value or even that could be it could be hypothesized as one but it is not in fact one or something like that.DANIELOkay.AARONLikewise, these aliens could claim that making paperclips is intrinsically good. They could also just make them and not make that claim. And those are two very different things.DANIELThey don't claim it's good. They don't think it's good.AARONThey think it's claim it schmud.DANIELWhich they prefer. Yeah, they prefer.AARONDon't. I think that is also incoherent. I think there is like one concept in that space because wait, I feel like also this is just like at some point it has to cash out in the real world. Right? Unless we're talking about really speculative not even physics.DANIELWhat I mean is they just spend all of their time promoting paperclips and then you send them a copy of Jeremy Bentham's collected writings, they read it and they're like all right, cool. And then they just keep on making paperclips because that's what they want to do.AARONYeah. So descriptively.DANIELSure.AARONBut they never claim that. It's like we haven't even introduced objectivity to this example. So did they ever claim that it's objectively the right thing to do?DANIELNo, they claim that it's objectively the paperclipy thing to do.AARONI agree with that. It is the paperclippy thing to do.DANIELYeah, they're right about stuff. Yeah.AARONSo they're right about that. They're just not a right. So I do think this all comes back down to the question of whether there's analogous concepts in near ish morality that an alien species might point at. Because if there's not, then the paperclippiness is just like a totally radically different type of thing.DANIELBut why does it like when did I say that they were closely analogous? This is what I don't understand.AARONSo it seems to be insinuated by the closeness of the word semantic.DANIELOh yeah, whatever. When I was making it a similar sounding word, all I meant to say is that they talk about it plays a similar role in their culture as morality plays in our culture. Sorry. In terms of their motivations, I should say. Oh, yeah.AARONI think there's plenty of human cultures that are getting at morality. Yeah. So I think especially historically, plenty of human cultures that are getting at the same core concept of morality but just are wrong about it.DANIELYeah, I think that's right.AARONFundamentalist religious communities or whatever, you can't just appeal to like, oh, we're like they have some sort of weird it's kind of similar but very different thing called morality.DANIELAlthough, I don't know, I actually think that okay, backing up. All I'm saying is that beings have to care about something, and we ended up caring about morality. And I don't think, like I don't know, I don't think that's super surprising or coincidental or whatever. A side point I want to make is that I think if you get super into being religious, you might actually start referring to a different concept by morality. How familiar are you with classical theism?AARONThat's not a term that I recognize, although I took a couple of theology classes, so maybe more of them if I hadn't done that.DANIELYeah, so classical theism, it's a view about the nature of God, which is that I'm going to do a bad job of describing it. Yeah, I'm not a classical theist, so you shouldn't take classical theist doctrine from me. But it's basically that God is like sort of God's the being whose attributes are like his existence or something like that. It's weird. But anyway, there's like some school of philosophical where they're like, yeah, there's this transcendent thing called God. We can know God exists from first principles and in particular their account of goodness. So how do you get around the Euphyro dilemma, right? Instead of something like divine command theory, what they say is that when we talk about things being good, good just refers to the nature of God. And if you really internalize that, then I think you might end up referring to something different than actual goodness. Although I think it's probably there's no such being as God in the article. Theist sense.AARONYeah. So they argue what we mean by good is this other.DANIELConcept. They would say that when everyone talks about good, what they actually mean is pertaining to the divine nature, but we just didn't really know that we meant that the same way that when we talked about water, we always meant H 20, but we didn't used to know that.AARONI'm actually not sure if this is I'm very unconfident, but I kind of want to bite the bullet and say, like, okay, fine, in that case, yeah, I'm talking about the divine nature, but we just have radically different understandings of what the divine nature is.DANIELYou think you're talking about the divine nature.AARONRight?DANIELWhy do you think that?AARONSorry, I think I very slightly was not quite pedantic enough. Sorry, bad cell phone or whatever. Once again, not very confident at all.DANIELBut.AARONThink think that I'm willing to I'm so I think that I'm referring to the divine nature, but what I mean by the divine nature is that which these fundamentalist people are referring to. So I want to get around the term and say like, okay, whatever these fundamentalists are referring to, I am also referring to them.DANIELYeah, I should say classical theism is not slightly a different when people say fundamentalists, they often mean like a different corner of Christian space than classical theists. Classical. Theists think like Ed Fesser esoteric Catholics or something. Yeah, they're super into it.AARONOkay, anyway yes, just to put it all together, I think that when I say morality, I am referring to the same thing that these people are referring to by the divine nature. That's what it took me like five minutes to actually say.DANIELOh yeah, so I don't think you are. So when they refer to the divine nature, what they at least think they mean is they think that the divine is sort of defined by the fact that its existence is logically necessary. Its existence is in some sense attributes it couldn't conceivably not have its various attributes. The fact that it is like the primary cause of the world and sustainer of all things. And I just really doubt that the nature of that thing is what you mean by morality.AARONNo, those are properties that they assert, but I feel like tell me if I'm wrong. But my guess is that if one such person were to just suddenly come to believe that actually all of that's right. Except it's not actually logically necessary that the divine nature exists. It happens to be true, but it's not logically necessary. They would still be sort of pointing to the same concept. And I just think, yeah, it's like that, except all those lists of properties are wrong.DANIELI think if that were true, then classical theism would be false.AARONOkay.DANIELSo maybe in fact you're referring to the same thing that they actually mean by the divine nature, but what they think they mean is this classical theistic thing. Right. And it seems plausible to me that some people get into it enough that what they actually are trying to get at when they say good is different than what normal people are trying to get at when they say good.AARONYeah, I don't think that's true. Okay, let's set aside the word morality because especially I feel like in circles that we're in, it has a strong connotation with a sort of like modern ish analytics philosophy, maybe like some other things that are in that category.DANIELYour video is worsen, but your sound is back.AARONOkay, well, okay, I'll just keep talking. All right, so you have the divine nature and morality and maybe other things that are like those two things but still apart from them. So in that class of things and then there's the question of like, okay, maybe everybody necessarily anybody who thinks that there's any true statements about something broadly in their vicinity of goodness in the idea space is pointing to the meta level of that or whichever one of those is truly correct or something. This is pretty speculative. I have not thought about this. I'm not super confident.DANIELYeah, I think I broadly believe this, but I think this is right about most people when they talk. But you could imagine even with utilitarianism, right? Imagine somebody getting super into the weeds of utilitarianism. They lived utilitarianism twenty four, seven. And then maybe at some point they just substitute in utilitarianism for morality. Now when they say morality, they actually just mean utilitarianism and they're just discarding the latter of the broad concepts and intuitions behind them. Such a person might just I don't know, I think that's the kind of thing that can happen. And then you might just want a.AARONDifferent thing by the word. I don't know if it's a bad thing, but I feel like I do this when I say, oh, x is moral to do or morally good to do. It's like, what's the real semantic relationship between that and it's correct on utilitarianism to do? I feel like they're not defined as the same, but they happen to be the same or something. Now we're just talking about how people use words.DANIELYeah, they're definitely going to happen to be the same in the case that utilitarianism is like the right theory of morality. But you could imagine that. You could imagine even in the case where utilitarianism was the wrong theory, you might still just mean utilitarianism by the word good because you just forgot the intuitions from which you were building theory of morality and you're just like, okay, look, I'm just going to talk about utilitarianism now.AARONYeah, I think this is like, yeah, this could happen. I feel like this is a cop out and like a non answer, but I feel like getting into the weeds of the philosophy of language and what people mean by concepts and words and true the true nature of concepts. It's just not actually that useful. Or maybe it's just not as interesting to me as I'm glad that somebody thought about that ever.DANIELI think this can happen, though. I think this is actually a practical concern. Right. Okay. Utilitarianism might be wrong, right? Does that strike you as right? Yeah, I think it's possible for you to use language in such a way that if utilitarianism were wrong, what that would mean is that in ordinary language, goodness, the good thing to do is not always the utilitarian thing to do, right? Yes, but I think it's possible to get down an ideological rabbit hole. This is not specific to utilitarianism. Right. I think this can happen to tons of things where when you say goodness, you just mean utilitarianism and you don't have a word for what everyone else meant by goodness, then I think that's really hard to recover from. And I think that's the kind of thing that can conceivably happen and maybe sometimes actually happens.AARONYeah, I guess as an empirical matter and like an empirical psychological matter and yes. Do people's brains ever operate this way? Yes. I don't really know where that leaves that leaves us. Maybe we should move on to a different topic or whatever.DANIELCan I just say one more thing?AARONYeah, totally.DANIELFirst, I should just give this broad disclaimer that I'm not a philosopher and I don't really know what I'm talking about. But the second thing is that particular final point. I was sort of inspired by a paper I read. I think it's called, like, do Christians and Muslims worship the same god? Which is actually a paper about the philosophy of naming and what it means for proper names to refer to the same thing. And it's pretty interesting, and it has a footnote about why you would want to discourage blasphemy, which is sort of about this. Anyway.AARONNo, I personally don't find this super interesting. I can sort of see how somebody would and I also think it's potentially important, but I think it's maybe yeah.DANIELActually it's actually kind of funny. Can I tell you a thing that I'm a little bit confused about?AARONYeah, sure.DANIELSo philosophers just there's this branch of philosophy that's the philosophy of language, and in particular the philosophy of right. Like, what does it mean when we say a word refers to something in the real world? And some subsection of this is the philosophy of proper names. Right. So when I say Aaron is going to the like, what do I mean by know who is like, if it turned out that these interactions that I'd been having with an online like, all of them were faked, but there was a real human named Bergman, would that count as making that send is true or whatever? Anyway, there's some philosophy on this topic, and apparently we didn't need it to build a really smart AI. No AI person has studied this. Essentially, these theories are not really baked into the way we do AI these days.AARONWhat do you think that implies or suggests?DANIELI think it's a bit confusing. I think naively, you might have thought that AIS would have to refer to things, and naively, you might have thought that in order for us to make that happen, we would have had to understand the philosophy of reference or of naming, at least on some sort of basic level. But apparently we just didn't have to. Apparently we could just like I don't have that.AARONIn fact, just hearing your description, my initial intuition is like, man, this does not matter for anything.DANIELOkay. Can I try and convince you that it should matter? Yeah, tell me how I fail to convince you.AARONYeah, all right.DANIELHumans are pretty smart, right? We're like the prototypical smart thing. How are humans smart? I think one of the main ingredients of that is that we have language. Right?AARONYes. Oh, and by the way, this gets to the unpublished episode with Nathan Barnard.DANIELComing out an UN I think I've seen an episode with him.AARONOh, yeah. This is the second one because he's.DANIELBeen very oh, exciting. All right, well well, maybe all this will be superseded by this unpublished episode.AARONI don't think so. We'll see.DANIELBut okay, we have language, right. Why is language useful? Well, I think it's probably useful in part because it refers to stuff. When I say stuff, I'm talking about the real world, right?AARONYes.DANIELNow, you might think that in order to build a machine that was smart and wielded the language usefully, it would also have to have language. We would have to build it such that its language referred to the real world. Right. And you might further think that in order to build something that use languages that actually succeeds at doing reference, we would have to understand what reference was.AARONYes. I don't think that's right. Because insofar as we can get what we call useful is language in, language out without any direct interaction, without the AIS directly manipulating the world, or maybe not directly, but without using language understanders or beings that do have this reference property, that's what their language means to them, then this would be right. But because we have Chat GPT, what the use comes from is like giving language to humans, and the humans have reference to the real world. But if the humans you need some connection to your reference, but it doesn't have to be at every level or something like that.DANIELOkay, so do you think that suppose we had something that was like Chat GPT, but we gave it access to some robot limbs and it could pick up mice. Maybe it could pick up apples and throw the apples into the power furnace powering its data center. We give it these limbs and these actuators sort of analogous to how humans interact with the world. Do you think in order to make a thing like that that worked, we would need to understand the philosophy of reference?AARONNo. I'm not sure why.DANIELI also don't know why.AARONOkay, well, evolution didn't understand the philosophy of reference. I don't know what that tells us.DANIELI actually think this is, like, my lead answer of, like, we're just making AIS by just randomly tweaking them until they work. That's my rough summary of Scastic gradient descent. In some sense, this does not require you to have a strong sense of how to implement your AIS. Maybe that's why we don't need to.AARONUnderstand philosophy or the SDD process is doing the philosophy. In some sense, that's kind of how I think about it or how I think about it now. I guess during the SDD process, you're, like, tweaking basically the algorithm, and at the end of the day, probably in order to, say, pick up marbles or something, reference to a particular marble or the concept of marble, not only the concept, but both the concept

Drusen formation can be slowed by appropriate vitamin supplementation.The other major form of early AMD is the presence of subretinal drusenoid deposits (SDD), which is lesser known and requires high-tech retinal imaging to detect. These deposits are also made of fatty lipids and other materials, but form in a different layer beneath the light-sensitive retina cells, where they are also associated with vision loss.

I'm happy to announce that this week is, in fact, the final part of my Psychology of Pricing series, where I share research-proven tactics to make the most out of the prices you display. If you haven't listened to the previous parts in this series, I suggest you go back and do so before continuing with this one. I'll still be here once you're done. These pricing tactics are great to use in your design business. But the real gem here is they can make you look like a pricing guru to your clients. Imagine improving their conversion rate simply by manipulating the way you display their prices. They'll be throwing money at you. As in the previous episodes. All of these tactics I'm sharing come from Nick Kolenda. Specifically, an article on his website nickkolenda.com titled appropriately enough The Psychology of Pricing. The Psychology Of Pricing - Part 6 In the previous five parts of this series, I shared various ways to manipulate how a price is displayed to improve sale conversions. In this last part of the series, I'm going to share how to use discounts properly. According to Nick, if not used properly, discounts can actually harm your business. In fact, some people suggest you should never use discounts. That may be a bit extreme. Discounts can prove useful if you know how to use them properly. But how can offering a discount backfire? For one, if you offer discounts too frequently, customers will become more price-conscious and wait for the next discount. Offering discounts can also lower the reference price of a product. I've talked about reference prices in previous parts of this series and how they create the bar by which consumers judge other prices. Offering a discount can lower the reference price, causing people to purchase less in the future when the price seems too high. So reducing the frequency and depth of discounts helps. But there are a few other tactics you can put to use that will help you as well. Tactic 46: Follow the “Rule of 100.” In a previous episode, I shared how people can perceive different magnitudes for the same price, depending on the context. For example, changing the words that appear next to a price from “High Performance” to “Low Maintenance” can reduce the magnitude of the price, making it appear smaller. Discounts are no different. When offering a discount, you want to maximize the perceived size of the discount so that people feel like they are getting a better deal. Consider a pair of pants selling for $50. Which discount seems like a better deal: 20% off or $10 off? If you do the math, you'll see that the discounts are the same. But at first glance, 20% off has the advantage by seemingly being larger than $10 off. That's where the “Rule of 100” comes in. If the price you are discounting is under $100, you should always offer the discount as a percentage. Saving 10% off a $20 item sounds much better than saving $2 off a $20 item. Don't you agree? However, as soon as the price you are discounting goes above $100, you should switch to an absolute price discount instead of a percentage. So for a $250 item, offering $25 off creates a higher perceived magnitude than offering 10% off. Tactic 47: Mention the Increase From the Discounted Price. This tactic also relies on magnitude. When a price is reduced, the emphasis is placed on the decrease—Now, 20% Off.  However, a way to once again increase the perceived magnitude of the discount is by reversing the way you announce it. Instead of saying “Now 20% Off,” try something like “Was 25% higher.” It will make it more persuasive because it shows a higher numeral. Tactic 48: Provide a Reason for the Discount. To maximize the effectiveness of a discount, explain why you are offering it. For example, stores may offer a discount because of inventory surplus. Or maybe it's to clear out outdated stock. Clothing retailers do this all the time. When the new season's fashions arrive, the previous season's inventory goes on sale. Or perhaps you can say you are passing on a discount you received from the supplier. Wal-Mart does this all the time with their Rollback pricing. It conveys the message that the cost savings they are receiving are being passed on to the customer. If you offer print brokering as one of your design services, you may be able to increase orders by passing on any discount your printer offers you. By providing a reason for the discount, you reinforce that this is a temporary or provisional thing. This will make it less likely for people to latch onto the discounted price as a reference price. And make it more likely to pounce on the discount before it's gone. Tactic 49: Offer Discounts in Round Numbers. I don't even know why this one is on the list. If you recall, specific prices, such as $21.87, seem smaller than rounded prices. Keeping that in mind, you should follow the opposite approach for discounts by using round numbers since they appear larger. Using round numbers as discounts also makes it easier for customers to calculate the discount. As I said, I don't know why this one is on the list. I don't think I've ever seen someone offer a non-rounded discount. Have you ever seen a store advertise something like “Save $8.67"? No, it's either save $8 or $9. I can say about this tactic that you should try to ensure that discounts are easy to compute. You don't want to confuse people by offering a 23% discount on a price of $37.89. If they need to take out their calculator to figure out how much they are saving, you are missing the point. Tactic 50: Give Two Discounts in Ascending Order This is useful for those occasions when more than one discount is applied. Say, for example, a store offering 20% off all purchases, including already discounted items. A 1979 study showed that offering two combined discounts is often preferred to a single lump sum discount. Saving 20% off an already discounted item by 10% seems like a better deal than if the item was marked at 30% off. Whenever possible, arrange these discounts in ascending order. So 10% off, then 30% off. a 2019 study showed that this creates an ascending momentum, making the total discount seem larger. Tactic 51: Offer Discounts Towards The End Of The Month. Remember that Pain of Paying thing? Well, as your budget gets smaller, paying for things becomes more painful. You're more likely to buy a product and be more satisfied with your purchase when you have more money in your budget. Offering discounts towards the end of the month, as monthly budgets are nearing exhaustion, is more effective because people seek ways to save money. Bonus Tip: If you have clients who offer free trials, you may suggest they do so at the beginning of the month. Because people have a full budget at the beginning of the month, the offer of a free trial will seem more appealing to them. Of course, this assumes the consumer uses a monthly budget. You should always consider the target customer and plan your promotions accordingly. Tactic 52: Arrange Discounts in Tiered Amounts. Suppose you or your client launch a promotion where customers save $50 when they spend $200. In this scenario, people need to spend $200 – which might be difficult for some people to imagine. To make this discount more enticing, you need to strengthen the mental imagery of spending $200. How? By offering tiered discounts. Such as... $50 off when you spend $200 $25 off when you spend $150 $10 off when you spend $50 $5 off when you spend $30 A customer might struggle to imagine spending the full $200 to get the biggest discount. However, spending $30 to get $5 off is easy to imagine. And this is the brilliance of this tactic. Once a client can imagine spending $30, it becomes much easier to imagine spending $50. Then it becomes easier to imagine spending $150 and finally $200. You provide a sequence of images that transform that highest threshold into a feasible reality by offering tiers. This is the same reason the three-tiered pricing system works so well. When clients compare the first price in your three tiers to the second, they realize how much more value the second tier is, even if it's higher than they originally wanted to spend. And once they are entertaining that second tier, the third one doesn't seem like a big stretch, and they may go for it. This tactic might also be used to sell bigger retainer agreements. For example, if you normally charge $100/hour for your design services, you could sell retainer agreements such as this. $70/hour if they buy 20 hours per month. Total $1400 $80/hour if they buy 10 hours per month. Total $800 $95/hour if they buy 5 hours per month. Total $475 Tactic 53: End Discounts Gradually. Traditionally, marketers use two types of pricing strategies: Hi-Lo Pricing, such as putting a $99 product on sale for $79 for a week and then putting the price back to $99 once the sale is over. Alternatively, some use EDLP or the Everyday Low Pricing method. They take a $99 product and list it permanently at $89. A 2010 study found benefits in a new strategy: Steadily decreasing discounts (SDD for short). Instead of dropping a price and then putting it back. This SDD strategy suggests you drop a price and gradually increase it until you're back at the original price. So a $99 product might be discounted to $79 for one week, then $89 for an additional week before returning the price to its original price of $99 on the third week. The researchers found positive outcomes on multiple metrics. This new SDD strategy led to. Higher revenue Higher willingness to pay Greater likelihood of visiting a store. During a 30-week trial, the researchers alternated between the three strategies and found that the SDD method produced the highest overall profit margin. With the SDD method, consumers learned that they had to get to the store early if they wanted the best deal. However, if they could not make it on time, there was still a chance for them to save money before the price returned to full. Tactic 54: Don't Discount Premium Products. Remember at the beginning of this episode when I said that discounts could be harmful. This is especially true when you discount premium (AKA expensive) products. It's harmful because people may choose to hold off on purchasing until there's a new discount when the discount ends. Or worse, they may choose to shop at a competitor. When a discount is retracted on a premium product, demand shifts towards lower-priced products, however, when a discount is retracted on lower-priced products, the demand remains the same. This boils down to that if you are competing on price, it's ok to give discounts. But if you're competing on quality, you should avoid discounts that emphasize price and focus on the attributes and quality of the product. Have you used any of the tactics I've shared in this series? Let me know by leaving a comment for this episode.

I realize that people of all ages are constantly opining about the trappings of technology, while, (ironically), usually typing on a keypad and/or staring at a screen. Let's be real, you're reading this on such technology. Just because people are hypocrites, it doesn't mean that they are also wrong. To be clear, I love technology and believe, on a whole, this is an amazing time to be alive vis a vis innovation. More information and access is always a better thing, even when it exposes how stupid and dangerous a society is. The truth is, though, that we can't, individually fix this rotten cultural cesspool we live in, but we can do some high-quality maintenance on ourselves. Countless studies show time after time, the dangers of screen time. Did you know there's even a name for it (of course there is, everything has a title…) it's called Screen Dependency Disorder, which is a stupid name because it doesn't create an effective acronym. Obviously, Screen Addiction Disorder would have been perfect, but SAD was already taken by the totally fake and made-up Seasonal Affective Disorder, the condition of being depressed because of the change of seasons…pro-tip…fly somewhere, the weather will be different, dipstick. But, seriously, SDD? That's way too close to STD and it discourages people from walking around and sharing their struggles as no one wants to loudly and proudly shout “I have SDD,” lest they see countless people nervously fidget and sidle away from them. https://www.premierhealth.com/your-health/articles/health-topics/screen-addiction-affects-physical-and-mental-health https://nhahealth.com/screen-dependency-disorder-the-effects-of-screen-time-addiction/ There's also Internet Addiction Disorder, which, when acronymed (not a word), sounds like something a terrorist uses to blow people up. Why couldn't they call it Compulsive Overuse of Computer Complex…y'know, COCC! Or, Tons of Internet Time, TIT for short. Either way, it's a real thing…unlike Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, which is a nice way of saying you have weak forearms, or Fibromyalgia, which is the medical industry's way of saying “we have no idea what's wrong with you, so we've decided it's all in your head and we've got a big, long, vowel-filled word to describe it…here's you're prescription for a ton of anti-depressants.” https://www.psycom.net/iadcriteria.html I'm no fan of making everything a disease, syndrome, addiction, ailment, disorder, or malady, but in the case of screen time, we are absolutely hooked…and the whole thing is designed that way! Silicon Valley was outed years ago by the very people who created Social Media…they said the quiet part out loud and admitted that the entire system is literally engineered to essentially alter your brain chemically into NEEDING more and more screen time. https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/facebook-twitter-are-designed-to-be-like-behavioural-cocaine-for-users-insiders/ I'm certainly not suggesting that the answer to any of this is a complete and total abandonment of technology; that's as asinine as asking a normal American living a normal life to not own a car; maybe more so. I am, however, suggesting that maybe we all could approach technology the same way we should approach food and alcohol…after all, we have a stellar track record in America when it comes to our eating and drinking habits! Wait a minute…well, I'm too far in at this point to think of another topic and start over, so I'm plowing through on my idea and suggesting that it's time to implement Operation SLIME…Slowly Learn Internet Moderation Exercise. No? Ok, how about LIME; Less Internet More Everything-else? Do we have to go with LIMEE? That sounds so un-American. In any case, the keyword was moderation. Almost everything in life should be done in moderation. If we do anything all of the time, it is simply too much, and it's also ruined. Yes, even the good stuff…that's how we got Sex and Porn Addiction for God's sake! According to data, the average American spends 7 hours and 11 minutes looking at a screen every day…that's more time than we spend sleeping! What in the hell is wrong with us? https://www.comparitech.com/tv-streaming/screen-time-statistics/#:~:text=According%20to%20data%20from%20DataReportal,of%20screen%20time%20per%20day.https://news.gallup.com/poll/166553/less-recommended-amount-sleep.aspx#:~:text=Americans%20currently%20average%206.8%20hours,nine%20hours%20sleep%20for%20adults. I realize that our phones, tablets, and laptops are filled with endless wonder, but so are our brains, homes, and the people around us. And again, I'm not a technology Nazi, nor am I proposing some stupid, unattainable goal like “cut your screen time in half by 2022.” I always advise people to start small and easy, and if you like it and feel comfortable, keep the trend going. There's a reason Alcoholics anonymous has a 5% rate of success…advising people to quit something they're addicted to is asinine and almost unachievable. Teaching them to slowly cut down on their vice of choice, like the HAMS alcohol reduction system does, produces a success rate 10 times that of going cold turkey. https://www.npr.org/2014/03/23/291405829/with-sobering-science-doctor-debunks-12-step-recoveryhttps://dualdiagnosis.org/drug-addiction/recovery-abstinence-vs-moderation/ So, I propose we start with your poop. Long ago, before we had devices in our pockets that were a gateway to the world, people used to sit on the toilet with their thoughts. Oh, sure, along the way a few simpletons added in magazines or newspapers while they were on the crapper, but we all know they weren't really reading whatever they were looking at… they were contemplating their lives, as they should. For one thing, I've never understood why taking a crap needed to be an event…sit down, poop, wipe, leave. Other than hiding from your kids, there is no reason to spend more than 3 minutes going doo-doo, plus, it's physically bad for you. There's a reason I'm the only person I know who has never had hemorrhoids…sitting too long on the toilet is the number one cause of such! Plus, a dude's rectum fell out a couple of years ago because he spent too long on the crapper!... But I digress. https://www.dollarshaveclub.com/content/story/sitting-toilet-long-will-wreck-butt https://www.menshealth.com/health/a17046217/chinese-man-rectal-prolapse-sitting-on-toilet/ Imagine, just for a moment, sitting on the toilet, doing nothing. No scrolling, clicking, or messaging. Just you and your brain. I realize that this is terrifying for many people, mainly because they spend their entire lives trying to avoid introspection, but that's all part of our societal problems as well. Taking inventory of your day, your relationships, and even your life, is a good thing, and there's no better place than the toilet. Your friends can wait a few minutes, as can your social media, your calendar, and even your Amazon order of the day (which reminds me that I need to order dog food…but not while I'm sitting on the toilet! If you happen to be one of those sociopaths who insists on being on the crapper for 15 minutes or more, then again, I advise you to start small. Take that handy little device into the bathroom with you and set its' timer for 5 minutes, then put it down and wait…and while you do, contemplate your life, while looking forward to the reward of submerging yourself back into the toxic world that awaits you on the other end of that fine piece of electronics as soon as it reaches :00 and makes that hideous sound most of us equate to being awoken from a deep slumber. I promise you that this could be a life-altering event. By not being distracted by endless choices, you may learn a little something about yourself. You may even come to realize that your compulsion to sit in the bathroom for an unhealthy amount of time is both dangerous and disgusting. Either way, resolve today that you will turn your poo time into “you” time. You're welcome.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Buenas tardes a todas y todas, bienvenidos a un episodio más del Podcast. Este episodio surge debido a qué últimamente hemos tenido la gran fortuna de colaborar con Clientes que están abriendo laboratorios clínicos desde 0, y hemos podido servirles en cuanto a Software ABBA para Laboratorios Clínicos, Interfases y Equipos y Reactivos. Y una pregunta muy recurrente que nos hacen es: ¿Qué computadora conviene comprar para el Laboratorio Clínico? Entonces decidí hacer este episodio por si estás arrancando un Laboratorio, consideres estos consejos para la compra del equipo de cómputo. O si ya tienes tu laboratorio funcionando, de igual manera los tengas en mente para cuando desees renovar tus computadoras. 1. Importancia del Equipo de Cómputo en un Laboratorio Clínico 2. Características que debemos tomar en cuenta al comprar una computadora 2.1 Disco duro de estado sólido Los discos duros de estado sólido (SSD) son recomendables si quieres tener un ordenador mucho más rápido. De hecho, su velocidad puede hacer que un PC con algunos años vaya mucho más rápido sin tener que invertir en otros componentes. 2.2 Procesador Si tienes un presupuesto generoso para dedicar a tus computadoras, entonces te sugiero que busques una con un procesador: intel CORE i7, intel CORE i9, RYZEN 5, RYZEN 7, estos son los procesadores de gama alta. Sino, pues puedes buscar otra alternativa de otros procesadores, pero cuidando siempre que tenga un disco SSD. 2.3 Velocidad en RAM Cuanta más RAM tengas más aplicaciones podrás gestionar a la vez, y de ahí su importancia porque si no hay suficiente el ordenador puede ir lento. Hoy en día, te recomiendo una computadora con al menos 8GB de memoria RAM, o aún mejor si está en tus posibilidades 16 GB en RAM. Si puedes encontrar una computadora con SDD + procesador intel core i9 + memoria RAM de 16 GM tendrías una super computadora para que el personal del Laboratorio pueda trabajar a todo dar. 3. Computadora especial para las Interfases 4. Aplicaciones mínimas que deberías tener en tu computadora 5. Conclusiones Por favor considera estas características antes de comprar tu equipo de cómputo; en primera instancia puede salir más caro el comprar una computadora con dichas especificaciones, pero créeme que te saldrá más económico porque te va a durar más tiempo pero sobre todo vas a poder trabajar MUCHO MEJOR (sin que se trabe la computadora, sin que esté lenta) y por ende podrás tratar mejor a tus clientes. Recuerda lo barato sale caro. Gracias por leer y escuchar y nos vemos la siguiente semana con un nuevo episodio. Si este episodio ha sido de valor para ti, te pido nos des a cambio un minuto de tu valioso tiempo para dejarnos una review de 5 estrellas en Google, así nos ayudas a tener mayor visibilidad y a llegar a más personas. Da click aquí. Si tienes alguna duda o pregunta al respecto, te invito a contactarnos. Recuerda que los reactivos en un Laboratorio Clínico son necesarios, y el Software ABBA, también.

Hola y bienvenidos, un día más, a Aprender Fotografía – el podcast. Soy Fran Valverde, como siempre me acompaña Pere Larrègula. El programa de hoy hablamos sobre la instalación de Mojave en Mac. El programa de hoy se trata de otro programa fantasma, ya que tuvimos problemas. Lo grabamos inicialmente con Rafa de Cromalite pero lo hemos tenido que volver a grabar. Hubo microcortes en las pistas. No sabemos muy bien si fue debido a la mesa de mezclas, a los micros o al software... Si a alguno os ha pasado, por favor, decírnoslo. Una vez más pedimos disculpas a Rafa, aunque volveremos a quedar con él para grabar el programa sobre luces LED otra vez. Antes de empezar con el programa, recordaros que podéis encontrar todo nuestro contenido en aprenderfotografía.online, una red social para fotógrafos totalmente gratuita. El principal motivo por el que te recomendamos unirte a la red social es porque vas a aprender fotografía, tendrás acceso a los fotoconsejos, que son píldoras de unos pocos minutos donde vamos tratando varios temas. Cuando te suscribas recibirás un mail con varios videos, conocerás a mucha gente con tus mismos gustos, recibirás feedback de tus trabajos, te enterarás de las quedadas que se organicen y podrás ser participe de ellas. Dentro de esta red social, hemos montado la plataforma de cursos online, con conceptos muy básicos hasta más avanzados. Actualmente tenemos disponibles dieciséis cursos, de diez lecciones cada uno. Recientemente hemos subido el Curso de iniciación al retrato. La suscripción a los cursos es de 10 euros al mes, da acceso a todo el contenido y se pueden ver tantas veces como se desee. No hay restricciones de contenido ni distintas cuotas. Os podéis dar de baja cuando queráis.   Cursos actuales Los cursos que están actualmente en la web son: Curso de iniciación a la fotografía digital Curso práctico de iniciación a la fotografía digital Curso de gestión de modelos Curso de iluminación en estudio básico Curso de Adobe Lightroom básico Curso básico de marketing para fotógrafos Curso de cómo montar tu propio estudio fotográfico Curso de flash de zapata Curso de retrato de carácter Curso de Boudoir Curso de desnudo artístico Curso de composición en fotografía Curso de iluminación en Retrato Curso de Iniciación a Photoshop para Fotógrafos Curso de tableta gráfica Curso de iniciación al retrato   Recordaros también que ya están abiertos los dos canales de Telegram: Canal de Telegram: https://t.me/aprenderfotografia Grupo de Telegram donde podemos conversar con vosotros y entre vosotros. https://t.me/aprenderfotografianoticias Canal de difusión de Telegram donde estaréis informados de todas las novedades de Aprender Fotografía El Podcast, cursos, nuevos podcasts, etc. En éste no podéis interactuar.  Instalación de Mojave en Mac Hoy nos centramos en la instalación de Mojave en Mac, el sistema operativo de Mac. Os queremos advertir que tengáis cuidado si tenéis un disco fusion que lo habéis hecho partiendo de un disco HDD. Si habéis cambiado un HDD por un SDD. Para Apple no es estándar y está dando problemas.  Utilizar Time Machine Seguramente que saldrá un parche ya que hay muchas instalaciones así, pero la solución ahora mismo es utilizar Time Machine. Qué hagáis una copia de seguridad, entréis en recuperación del sistema, os vayáis al terminal y con un disco de arranque desmontéis el fusion. Tendréis dos unidades, quedará en una unidad muy pequeña pero son unidades mucho más rápidas que las que venden como discos SSD.  Os quedará ese disco ahí. Para que podáis arrancar el sistema operativo, arrancáis con el disco externo, instaláis Mojave contra uno de estos discos y listo. O tiráis de Time Machine si queréis volver a la versión anterior. Instalación desde cero Pere al final ha optado por lo que se recomienda cuando hay un cambio significativo de versión, que es instalar de cero. Cuando hay un cambio importante Mac recomienda hacerte una copia e instalar desde cero.

The gut in critical Illness: A perspective in five acts

Intensive Care Network Podcasts

That the gastrointestinal tract exerts an important, but unseen role in the pathogenesis of human disease has been a recurring theme over recorded human history. The Egyptians believed that a factor from the gut known as “ukhedu”, or “something disgusting”, was a factor in disease. At the turn of the century, and based on the ideas of Elie Metchnikoff, the gut was held responsible for the process of aging, and multiple innovative approaches were tried to arrest the passage of time. Following World War II, the gut was proposed to contain a factor (later shown to be endotoxin) that contributed to the hemodynamic arrangements of shock, and 30 years ago, we and others proposed that the gut was the motor of multiple organ failure. Today the focus of studies of the gut in critical illness is on the microbiome, and the way in which illness alters it. Each of these paradigms has generated new pathologic and therapeutic insights. The human GI tract contains a remarkable number and diversity of microorganisms in intimate proximity to a complex immune network in the gut wall, the liver, and the spleen. It also contains 25 grams of endotoxin – enough to kill 6 million people. Acute critical illness results in striking changes in this flora, reducing the diversity, and increasing the concentrations of many of the species that predominate in ICU-acquired infections. These organisms can invade normally sterile tissues through aspiration or translocation across an intact gut wall. The flora can be altered not only in its composition, but also in the inherent virulence of its constituents, changes that are induced by interactions with the local intestinal environment. A normal flora is essential to the normal development and maturation of the metabolic and immunologic function of the gut. Conversely, an altered flora can contribute to systemic alterations in immune responsiveness, perhaps through interactions with Kupffer cells in the liver. Moreover endotoxin from Gram-negative bacteria can be absorbed following trauma or other states associated with altered splanchnic perfusion. The spectrum of interventions based on a knowledge of the role of the gut in critical illness is broad. Simple interventions such as early feeding to maintain mucosal integrity are widely used. The impact of other gut-directed measures such as stress ulcer prophylaxis is undergoing re-evaluation. Selective digestive tract decontamination (SDD) has been shown to reduce both rates of nosocomial infection and mortality following ICU admission, but is not widely used for reasons that are not entirely clear. The converse approach – selective colonization either with probiotics or even fecal transplants – is also showing evidence of clinical efficacy. The gut is one of the most complex, yet one of the most elusive organs of the body. As the locus of the most important interactions between the human and microbial worlds, it remains a source of continuing discovery in critical illness.

Since allograft survival is limited after living-related kidney transplantation (LRKT), the necessity of re-transplantation following LRKT increases. Information using living-related- versus deceased donor allografts is sparse. The outcome after kidney re-transplantation in respect to second graft origin was investigated. Primary LR- (pLR, n=239), second LR- (sLR, n=26) or deceased donor following LR transplantations (sDD, n=11) were compared. Analyses included patient and graft survival, frequency of rejections, re-surgery, immunological risk and graft function. Acute rejections, HLA-mismatch and delayed graft function (DGF) and re-surgery influenced survival. Graft survival following re-transplantation of living-related and deceased donor grafts is not necessarily reduced compared to pLRKT. Differences in factors, impacting graft and patient survival, in particular defining immunological risk, were balanced in comparisons between the groups.

  Welcome to Sam's Disney Diary Episode #6 -- Christmas at the Disneyland Hotel and Disney's Grand Californian. (Like this Episode? Check out the youtube channel at www.youtube.com/SamsDisneyDiary and follow me on twitter @SamsDisneyDiary) Visiting the Disneyland resort during the holiday season is purely magical. The transition at the Haunted Mansion (See Episode #3) and the overlay at It's a Small World are obvious examples of Holiday theming. In addition, the hotels of Disneyland and Downtown Disney are great example of the "Disney" decorating detail. I had the opportunity to visit the Disneyland Hotel and Grand Californian, I did my best to capture the best of both. I included some bonus material of the Grand Californian carolers, hope you enjoy.
