“Keep a little fire burning; however small, however hidden.” — Cormac McCarthyHope is fundamental to human existence. It is paradoxical in its duality, however, as its very existence implies the possibility of despair (Lynch, 1962). This dialectic between hope and despair is central to considerations of chronic illness management, as well as to studies of the relationship between expectations and the placebo effect (Corbett, et al., 2007; Ratcliffe, 2011). Hope influences expectation, but is a distinct and multifaceted cognitive, embodied, and broadly existential experience (Mattingly, 2010). In order to maintain hope when faced with a situation that appears hopeless, individuals must navigate multiple contradictions between reality and possibility, embrace cultural notions of what is deemed acceptable to hope for, and be attentive to the hopes and concerns of significant others (Averill and Sundararajan, 2005; Chesla, 2005; DelVecchio Good, et al., 1990; Sulmasy, et al., 2010; Brown, 2015).RESOURCE: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4721951/GET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastOR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Shapley Value Attribution in Chain of Thought, published by leogao on April 14, 2023 on The AI Alignment Forum. TL;DR: Language models sometimes seem to ignore parts of the chain of thought, and larger models appear to do this more often. Shapley value attribution is a possible approach to get a more detailed picture of the information flow within the chain of thought, though it has its limitations. Project status: The analysis is not as rigorous as I would prefer, but I'm going to be working on other directions for the foreseeable future, so I'm posting what I already have in case it's useful to others. Thanks to Jacob Hilton, Giambattista Parascandolo, Tamera Lanham, Ethan Perez, and Jason Wei for discussion. Motivation Chain of thought (CoT) has been proposed as a method for language model interpretability (see Externalized Reasoning Oversight, Visible Thoughts). One crucial requirement for interpretability methods is that they should accurately reflect the cognition inside the model. However, by default there is nothing forcing the CoT to actually correspond to the model's cognition, and there may exist theoretical limitations to doing so in general. Because it is plausible that the first AGI systems bear resemblance to current LMs with more sophisticated CoT and CoT-like techniques, it is valuable to study its properties, and to understand and address its limitations. Related work Shapley values have been used very broadly in ML for feature importance and attribution (Cohen et al, 2007; Štrumbelj and Kononenko, 2014; Owen and Prieur, 2016; Lundberg and Lee, 2017; Sundararajan and Najmi, 2020). Jain and Wallace (2019) argue that attention maps can be misleading as attribution, motivating better attribution for information flow in LMs. Kumar et al. (2020) highlight some areas where Shapley value based attribution falls short for some interpretability use cases. Madaan and Yazdanbakhsh (2022) consider a similar method of selectively ablating tokens as a method of deducing what information the model is dependent on. Wang et al. (2022) find that prompting with incorrect CoT has surprisingly minor impact on performance. Effect of Interventions We use a method similar to Kojima et al. (2022) on GSM8K (Cobbe et al., 2021) with GPT-4 to first generate a chain of thought and evaluate the answer, and then for all chains of thought that result in a correct answer we perform an intervention as follows: we choose a random numerical value found in the CoT, and replace it with a random number in a +/-3 range about the original. We then discard the remainder of the CoT and regenerate it. If the LM is following strictly the CoT described, this intervention should almost always result in an incorrect answer, the same way one would if they made a mistake in one calculation and propagated the error through to the answer (with occasional rare cases where the new value happens to also result in the correct answer, though from qualitative inspection this is very rarely the case).

Finding a ride, booking an overnight stay, running errands for someone— these amenities have been around for a while. But peer to peer platforms that offer these services have dominated the market in recent years. In his book, The Sharing Economy, professor of technology and economic expert Arun Sundararajan unpacks the concept of crowd-based capitalism. He breaks down his extensive research and presents numerous real-world examples, including Airbnb, Uber, Etsy, and more.As the line between personal and professional blur in commercial exchange, how do these changes affect government regulation, the job market, and our overall social fabric?Episode Quotes:Why did you use ‘The Sharing Economy' as a title for your book, as opposed to the on-demand economy? And why do you think that these underlying principles are still applicable six years after it's been published?I am still convinced six years later that the future of capitalism in the United States is going to be what I described as crowd-based capitalism— where we create platforms of increasing influence — that sits somewhere between that 18th-century marketplace and that 20th century. The visible hand of Alfred Chandler's traditional organization will be the new template for organizing the economic activity of the 21st century.Are sharing platforms leading to a shift away from mass markets toward community-based markets, or even a mix of community-driven markets and trust-based mass markets?I think it's an aspirational part of my argument. I'll explain what I mean. In my reading of economic history, a lot of the connection, the human connection, was stripped out of commercial interaction. As we invented mass production distribution and the organization of the 20th Century, we made commerce more faceless and impersonal, as opposed to being connected. And this is one of the things that drew me to the sharing economy when I started participating in it. You know, you'd have a conversation with your BlaBlaCar driver in Europe. With your Lyft driver, you'd sit in the front seat. You'd fist bump, and you'd chat with your Airbnb host.The role of the GPS technology in making the shared economy work and flourishAt the foundation of our ability to utilize the capacity of assets more effectively is the rise of sophisticated personal technology, like PCs everywhere or more importantly, the smartphone. A significant fraction of the world's consumers now have the extremely powerful general-purpose GPS-enabled device that they carry around. The fact that your consumer has that powerful device that can run software that can track their location, allows you to start to think about business models that may not have worked in the absence of this widespread consumer technology.Thoughts on how the shared economy is challenging and changing the employee-employer relationship globally, and how government regulations on workers are affected?We seem to have tied it in many countries across the world to this one arrangement of work. Which is, I provide all of my labor and talent to you, you pay me a salary, and therefore you are the natural party. The employer also provides me with the safety net dimensions that the government has decided that the private sector will provide, rather than the government providing it themselves. And that's where we run into trouble in a platform world. Because the nature of the relationship between the individual and institution is fundamentally different here. It's not as tightly coupled, and it's not as exclusive as General Motors' relationship with its factory workers. You know, I think a lot of people idealize the idea of employment as being sort of the best way to organize work.Show LinksGuest ProfileArun Sundararajan Faculty Bio at NYUArun Sundararajan on LinkedInArun Sundararajan on TwitterHis WorkArun on Google ScholarsThe Sharing Economy: The End of Employment and the Rise of Crowd-Based Capitalism

Arun Sundararajan, New York University professor and author of The Sharing Economy, studies the future of capitalism, and is an expert on how platform business models are transforming society. In this episode, MBO Partners talks to Arun about how the leaders in digital work-related platforms will definite templates for how economic activity will be conducted in the 21st century.Arun speaks about how the byproduct of the platformization of the world and the emergence of the sharing economy has been the growing fraction of people who have an attractive alternative to taking a full time job with a company and how this allows millions of small business owners and independent workers to get access to opportunity that they otherwise wouldn't have had. He talks about the emergence of a more border-fluid landscape for capital creation and what that means for individual workers and how platforms and government in tandem need to make sure that checks remain in place to stave further income inequality. He also speaks about the necessary shift in focusing workforce development education on mid-career education and how we need to equip workers to react opportunistically to the inevitable shifts in opportunities in the work force. He ends by discussing how the administration needs to think about supporting workforce change without reliance on traditional employment models as the only solution and the need for an individual, government and platform partnership.The conversation highlights some of the insights in the 2020 State of Independence in America report. Now in its tenth year of publication, the report takes a data-driven approach to understanding the growth of opportunities for both the independent professional and the enterprise organizations looking to hire them. Future episodes of this podcast will provide further insights on the report's findings.

Arun Sundararajan, a professor at NYU’s Stern School of Business and author of the recent book The Sharing Economy, believes crowd-based capitalism could replace managerial capitalism in the next 10-20 years. Sundararajan believes crowd-based capitalism is an inherently superior model, one that uses resources more efficiently, which tends to result in increased economic productivity. Crowd-based capitalism, according to Sundararajan, also tends to increase the variety, diversity, and sometimes quality of goods, which results in higher levels of consumption. Economists don’t agree on much, Sundararajan says, but “if there are two things we agree about, one is that productivity growth leads to economic growth, and the other is that increases in consumption lead to economic growth.” Sundararajan’s research also indicates that crowd-based capitalism will have an equalizing effect on the economy by beginning to de-centralize the means of production.

Arun Sundararajan is the author of The Sharing Economy: The End of Employment and the Rise of Crowd-Based Capitalism. He is a professor of business at the Stern School of Business at NYU. He is interested in researching how digital technology brings about change in our economy and he has published over 50 scientific papers and over 30 op-eds on subjects related to this research.   The sharing economy is a very hot topic at the moment. How will the sharing economy evolve? How will it impact traditional jobs? How many vendors will succeed in this type of economy? Although we are still in the very beginning stages of this type of economy, Arun Sundararajan’s extensive research allows us to take a deeper look into what a sharing economy actually is and what the future of this space looks like.   When asked what the sharing economy actually is, Sundararajan says he believes that a sharing economy has at least 5 characteristics. One of the characteristics is that a sharing economy takes an activity that was once provided by a large institution and takes it to a marketplace type environment. One example of this is shown in hotels vs. Airbnb. Not long ago if you were traveling out of town most likely you would stay at a large hotel chain such as Hilton or Holiday Inn. Nowadays Airbnb has become extremely popular. So instead of staying in a large hotel chain owned by a large corporation, people are using the marketplace type platform of Airbnb to stay in other people’s houses.   Another characteristic is that there is a blurring of lines between personal and professional. Companies like Uber and Airbnb are a great example of this. We are using these professional platforms for things that we used to only do on a personal level with friends or family. We are getting a ride from a stranger or staying in a room in a stranger’s house.   Some of the other characteristics he touches on are that we are using assets more efficiently and therefore there is an increase in impact in capital of labor of assets, there has been a shift in who is providing the services, meaning a job that used to be done by a group of highly trained professionals is now done by a distributed group of people who may not have had any specialized training, and there is a blurring of lines between professional full time work and casual freelance work.   When talking about the sharing economy it is important to note the advances and innovations that have allowed us to get here. One of the important advances that is necessary for a sharing economy is a comfort with digital platforms. The fact that we have become so used to and dependent on digital platforms such as Ebay, Craigslist and Amazon has played into the growth of the sharing economy. We have become very comfortable with using technology in our everyday life.   Another innovation that had to come about before we could have a sharing economy is the GPS. There are several platforms such as Uber that would not work without GPS. Which leads into another innovation that is essential to a sharing economy, and that is the Smartphone. The Smartphone makes it so easy and convenient for people to connect to platforms such as Uber, Upwork, Airbnb, etc…  Another important aspect of our move towards a sharing economy was trust. Even 20 years ago we didn’t have the trust needed to allow a sharing economy to succeed. Platforms such as Ebay and Craigslist eased us into this trust several years ago. People were able to purchase items to be sent to them and the trust needed was fairly limited. You needed to trust that they would send the products on time and in good condition, but there really wasn’t much risk involved. Now, our trust level has gone up to the point where we are now allowing individuals to come into our home to paint or clean or we are putting ourselves into a stranger’s car.  Even though it has taken a lot of innovation and forward moving to get where we are, Sundararajan feels that we are coming full circle back to the work model of the 18th century where transactions were peer to peer. The only difference is now we are putting platforms in between the individuals. The sharing economy is like a hybrid between the 18th century marketplace and the 20th century organization. Sundararajan hopes that people will see the move towards a sharing economy more as an opportunity then a threat. He feels that this shift in our economy will bring us back to genuine human contact in our everyday economic activities.   In the next few years Sundararajan would like to see the sharing economy expand rapidly. However, to have this happen successfully there are two things that he believes are important to focus on. One is funding for things such as paid vacation, insurance, and other benefits. At this time these things are funded by a company or the government in exchange for full time employment, however if we move towards the crowd based capitalism it will be important to find another way to fund these types of benefits. Another thing that is important is getting past the “regulatory conflict” as quickly as possible. He believes that if we can get past both of these hurdles, then the future of crowd capitalism and a sharing economy is promising.   What you will learn in this episode:  What the sharing economy actually is  What are some of the popular companies in this space  Trends that are fueling and enabling the sharing economy to actually happen  Get a look into the differences between the platforms being used  How many vendors will succeed and thrive in this space?  How big is the freelance economy?  Legal issues that organizations deal with in a sharing economy  Economics and the business impacts of all of this   Where all of this is going in the future  Link From The Episode: The Sharing Economy On Amazon.com   (Music by Ronald Jenkees)

We all share, but today, millions get paid for it. Is this new trend just a fad or is it radical rethink for how we work? When we catch a ride with an Uber driver or contract with someone on Upwork, we marvel at the convenience. What we often overlook is the amount of trust it takes to ride with a stranger or to work with someone we may never meet. Yet that level of trust is what is driving the sharing economy, a form of commerce that harkens back to the 11th-century Maghribi traders. In his book, The Sharing Economy: The End of Employment and the Rise of Crowd-based Capitalism, NYU Stern Professor Arun Sundararajan provides the context and the history for how we got here. He also paints a picture for where we are headed, particularly when it comes to labor and safety policies and regulations. A recognized authority on the sharing economy, he has written for the New York Times, Wired, the Financial Times, and Harvard Business Review. In this interview, we talk about: What makes the sharing economy similar to 18th-century commerce How we are making the shift away from corporate buying to peer purchasing How the sharing economy is blurring the lines between personal and professional How the pendulum is swinging back to relationships, connections, and gifts How the sharing economy speaks to our yearning for making and connection What the 11th-century Maghribi traders can teach us about trust and commerce Ways the sharing economy encourages us to do a better job Whether the sharing economy can reduce inequality How the sharing economy requires different labor regulations and policies How the government can partner with platforms to rethink regulations How labor regulations were designed for an era of full-time workers Why our economy will increasingly rely on stakeholders other than government How blockchain tech promises a world where crowd is market maker Why trust is embedded in this economic shift How new forms of trust will enable new forms of commerce What is it about digital cues that help us trust one another?

Love the term or hate it, the concept and reality of the "sharing economy" (or "gig economy" and so on) is here to stay. And in fact, argues NYU Stern professor and researcher Arun Sundararajan, it may even reduce the income distribution gap between the haves and have-nots in a way that previous shifts -- like the Industrial Revolution and traditional 20th century institutions -- never did. How? Because it's a new model for (crowd-based) capitalism -- one where we're increasing the segment of the population that owns the means of production. Or... have we just shifted value from traditional institutions to the platforms instead? Well, let's see what the data tells us. In this episode of the a16z Podcast, Sundararajan (who is also affiliated with NYU's Center for Urban Science+Progress and at NYU's Center for Data Science) shares the latest findings, economics research, and more from his new book on The Sharing Economy: The End of Employment and the Rise of Crowd-Based Capitalism. We cover the challenges of capturing this shift in GDP (as well as the challenges of GDP and measuring tech progress in general); the challenges of creating a new funding model for the "social safety net of the 21st century workforce"; the challenges of "data darwinism", reputation, and ratings; and finally, how and just who should regulate the sharing economy?

The compound hydroxylamine is remarkably close in structure to ammonia, and differs only in containing an additional hydroxyl, thereby giving it basic properties. Normally a crystalline compound at room temperature, this base is also known to play significant roles as a reducing agent as well as in imine formation.Imines are highly reactive nitrogen double-bond containing compounds that are formed through an addition reaction with a carbonyl group in acidic conditions (aldehyde/ketone): Despite their rather explosive nature, hydroxylamines are useful compounds in themselves or in their other derived forms.For more information on hydroxylamines, click on this link.1). Hydroxyammonium NitrateBeing the salt of hydroxylamine and nitric acid (via an acid-base reaction), this corrosive and toxic substance is held in high regard by rocket scientists, as this compound is considered to be a potential rocket propellant. The following shows the synthetic mechanism of creating this compound:Click on this link for more information on the properties of the energetic compound hydroxyammonium nitrate and its significant use as a rocket propellant.Click on this link directing to a Chem 243 lecture describing the various reactions of aldehydes and ketones (including imine formation).2). Separation of Aldehydes and Ketones using Oxime DerivativesIn the case of hydroxylamines, the resulting imine products that are formed from their interaction with a carbonyl in acidic conditions results in the formation of a special subset of imines known as oximes (from aldehyde – aldoxime/from ketone – ketoxime). Oximes are normally colorless crystalline compounds. In fact, it is this property of these compounds that allow for their usage in determining the identity of the respective aldehyde/ketone that the hydroxylamine originally reacted with. In the following example, the use of the hydroxylamine derivative para-nitrobenzyl hydroxylamine is reacted with the respective carbonyl compound. As a result, the new compound is easily able to be detected and identified through separation techniques such as High Performance liquid Chromatography (HPLC), as the nitro groups increase molar absorptivity and increased sensitivity. In addition, alkylated oxime groups are more easily seperated by the technique HPLC than standard ones.As the peer article referred to didn’t provide a mechanism as to how the p-nitrobenzyl hydroxylamine was synthesized, I have provided a sample mechanism that leads to its production:This link leads to the respective peer review article referred to in obtaining this information.Click on one of the following three links that direct to Chem 243 lectures for information on:A) Electrophillic Aromatic Substituion (use of Friedel-Crafts Alkylation in order to add a methyl group to a benzene ring).B) Ortho/Para Vs. Meta Directing Groups (ability of methyl group on benzene ring to direct the respective nitro group being added on through a nitration reaction to a para position).C) Side Chain Reactions of Aromatic Compounds and introduction to Aldehyde and Ketone properties (substitution of methyl's hydrogen on the benzyl position with bromine through free radical halogenation).3. Synthesis of CaprolactamCaprolactam is one the many monomeric subunits used in the overall synthesis of the material Nylon-6. Once an imine synthetic reaction is performed on a cyclohexanone with a hydroxylamine, the resulting product can be converted into caprolactam through a specific reaction known as the Beckmann Rearrangement. The Beckmann Rearrangement is an acid catalyzed reaction that allows for the conversion of an imine into an amide, as seen below:For more information on the synthetic properties of the formed caprolactam, please click on this link.Compound InfoHydroxylamine: PubChem 789 hydroxylamine Oxammonium Oxyammonia Nitroxide NH2OHChemACXnet to purchase ACX number X1008257-2 CAS number 7803-49-8
