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: D&D.Sci Alchemy: Archmage Anachronos and the Supply Chain Issues Evaluation & Ruleset, published by aphyer on June 18, 2024 on LessWrong. This is a follow-up to last week's D&D.Sci scenario: if you intend to play that, and haven't done so yet, you should do so now before spoiling yourself. There is a web interactive here you can use to test your answer, and generation code available here if you're interested, or you can read on for the ruleset and scores. RULESET There are two steps to brewing a potion: STEP 1: MAGICAL POTENCY Any ingredient that doesn't exist in the mundane world is Magical, while any ingredient that exists in the mundane world is not: Magical Not Magical Angel Feather Badger Skull Beholder Eye Beech Bark Demon Claw Crushed Diamond Dragon Scale Crushed Onyx Dragon Spleen Crushed Ruby Dragon Tongue Crushed Sapphire Dragon's Blood Eye of Newt Ectoplasm Ground Bone Faerie Tears Oaken Twigs Giant's Toe Powdered Silver Troll Blood Quicksilver Vampire Fang Redwood Sap The first step of potion-brewing is to dissolve the magical potency out of the Magical Ingredients to empower your potion. This requires the right amount of Magical Ingredients: too few, and nothing magical will happen and you will produce Inert Glop, while too many and there will be an uncontrolled Magical Explosion. If you include: 0-1 Magical Ingredients: 100% chance of Inert Glop. 2 Magical Ingredients: 50% chance of Inert Glop, 50% chance OK. 3 Magical Ingredients: 100% chance OK. 4 Magical Ingredients: 50% chance OK, 50% chance Magical Explosion. 5+ Magical Ingredients: 100% chance Magical Explosion. If your potion got past this step OK, move on to: STEP 2: DIRECTION Some ingredients are used to direct the magical power into the desired resulting potion. Each potion has two required Key Ingredients, both of which must be included to make it: Potion Key Ingredient 1 Key Ingredient 2 Barkskin Potion* Crushed Onyx Ground Bone Farsight Potion Beholder Eye Eye of Newt Fire Breathing Potion Dragon Spleen Dragon's Blood Fire Resist Potion Crushed Ruby Dragon Scale Glibness Potion Dragon Tongue Powdered Silver Growth Potion Giant's Toe Redwood Sap Invisibility Potion Crushed Diamond Ectoplasm Necromantic Power Potion* Beech Bark Oaken Twigs Rage Potion Badger Skull Demon Claw Regeneration Potion Troll Blood Vampire Fang *Well. Sort of. See the Bonus Objective section below. Some ingredients (Angel Feather, Crushed Sapphire, Faerie Tears and Quicksilver) aren't Key Ingredients for any potion in the dataset. Angel Feather and Faerie Tears are nevertheless useful - as magical ingredients that don't risk creating any clashing potion, they're good ways to add magical potential to a recipe. Crushed Sapphire and Quicksilver have no effect, including them is entirely wasteful. If you've gotten through Step 1, the outcome depends on how many potions you've included both the Key Ingredients of: 0 potions: with nothing to direct it, the magical potential dissolves into an Acidic Slurry. 1 potion: you successfully produce that potion. 2 or more potions: Sometimes (1/n of the time, where n is # of potions you included) a random one of the potions will dominate, and you will produce that one. The rest of the time, the clashing directions will produce Mutagenic Ooze. So, for example, if you brew a potion with: Dragon Spleen, Dragon Scale, Dragon Tongue and Dragon's Blood: You have included 4 magical ingredients, and the Key Ingredients of one potion (Fire Breathing). 50% of the time you will get a Magical Explosion, 50% of the time you will get a Fire Breathing Potion. Badger Skull, Demon Claw, Giant's Toe, Redwood Sap. You have included 2 magical ingredients, and the Key Ingredients of two potions (Rage and Growth). 50% of the time you will get Inert Glop, 25% of the time Mutagenic Ooze, 12.5% of the time G...

Description:During the Houston leg of our True Quality Roadshow series, we had the opportunity to sit down with Dan Purvis, CEO of Velentium and author of "28 Days to Save The World." Dan tells the story of how his company weathered the early days of startup life, and how the pandemic - which took so many companies down - turned out to be the springboard that tested the culture that Dan and his co-founder had molded from the very beginning.If you're not familiar with our True Quality Roadshow - you should definitely check it out! It's a free half-day event at one of 6 cities across the world. Links below!Some of the highlights include:The role Velentium played in upscaling the production of ventilators during the pandemic - this was a significant achievement and showcases Velentiums leadership, collaboration, and company responsiveness during this worldwide crisis.Real-life challenges faced by companies, especially dramatic stories like the purchase of parts without a PO and the personal involvement of the leadership, and paint a vivid picture of commitment and dedication.The central theme of a company's mission ("We exist to change lives for a better world") and how it guides its decisions is foundational and deeply impactful.The pivotal role that company culture plays, even when compared to strategic planning.The long-term vision of a company, and we emphasize that while actions and technologies change, the core mission remains constant.The decisions Dan was faced with, such as how (or if!) to pay employees during a crisis, and we highlight the ethical considerations a company has to make, and how to stay aligned with a company's core values.The emphasis on finding clients to fund growth rather than relying on investors - this is not only pragmatic advice for startups but also provides a unique perspective on business growth.Quote:"Because as a leader, if you don't clearly know where you're headed, it's really hard to get a bunch of people to follow you. And I don't want people to follow me. I want them to race me up the mountain, which is the one that we've all decided to ascend together."Reference Links:Dan Purvis LinkedIn28 Days to Save The World bookEtienne Nichols LinkedInTrue Quality RoadshowVelentiumTexas Medical Center for Innovation

       Did you know that up to one in four active-duty service members struggle to find sufficient nutritious food? In this eye-opening conversation, we're joined by Air Force Captain Dr. Sidney Zven, MD, who shares his groundbreaking research on food insecurity in the military. We discuss the often-unappreciated prevalence of this issue and its impact on recruitment, retention, and overall military readiness.   We also explore the challenges military families face in accessing crucial resources like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Women and Infants and Children (WIC) program, as well as the logistical issues that arise for those stationed overseas. We discuss the historical stigma surrounding food stamps and WIC and how Military Medicine is working to identify high-risk families and connect them with much-needed benefits. Don't miss this compelling episode that sheds light on a hidden crisis affecting our military families. Discover the potential for policy changes, the role nonprofit and governmental organizations can play in tackling this urgent problem, and the importance of nutrition education for the military community. Join us as we delve into the crucial issue of food insecurity and its impact on the health of our brave service members and their families.   Chapters: (0:00:00) - Combatting Food Insecurity in the Military (0:04:20) - Military Food Insecurity and Government Programs (0:15:55) - Military Families and WIC Challenges (0:19:32) - Military Food Insecurity and Historical Stigma   Chapter Summaries: (0:00:00) - Combatting Food Insecurity in the Military (4 Minutes)      We explore the critical issue of food insecurity in the military, discussing the challenges Service Members face and the innovative solutions and initiatives that Military Medicine is employing to combat this concern. Today we're joined by Air Force Captain Dr Sidney Zven, MD, who tells us about his pathway to medicine and his research into food insecurity in the military. The Department of Defense reported that up to 24% of military service members experienced food insecurity between October of 2020 and January 2021, in comparison to the 10.3% that is expected for the civilian population - one in four Active Duty Service Members may struggle to sufficient nutritious food for their families.     (0:04:20) - Military Food Insecurity and Government Programs (12 Minutes)    We explore the multifaceted issue of food insecurity in the military and how it impacts recruitment, retention, and overall military readiness. We discuss the prevalence of obesity as a contributing factor to military recruit shortage, the impact of food insecurity on families' decisions to stay in the military, and the link between food insecurity and elevated risk of anxiety and depression among military members. We also examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on levels of food insecurity, the Women and Infants and Children (WIC) program, and other state and federal programs available to support service members.   (0:15:55) - Military Families and WIC Challenges (4 Minutes)   We discuss the difficulties encountered in enrolling in WIC and other logistical issues that can arise when dealing with military families, such as the disconnect between providers and local WIC offices, the burden placed on families to navigate the enrollment process, and the double appointments and wait times at WIC offices. We also discuss the process for families stationed overseas and the supply chain issues they may face when utilizing WIC benefits.   (0:19:32) - Military Food Insecurity and Stigma (7 Minutes) The historical stigma associated with receiving food stamps and WIC can be a major barrier to service members needing these resources. The military has made efforts to de-stigmatize these programs and provide more resources for military families. A study conducted at Walter Reed revealed that many families are unknowingly eligible for WIC. A unique approach is being implemented to identify high-risk military families and enroll them in these benefits.  We discuss the importance of nutrition education and how providing access to healthy and affordable food is essential for the well-being of military families. We look at how food insecurity can be addressed through policy changes and the role of governmental and nonprofit organizations in providing resources and support. We also examine the effects of food insecurity on service members' overall health and the importance of providing nutritional education to the military community.   Episode Keywords: Food Insecurity, Military, Active-Duty Service Members, Air Force Captain Dr. Sidney Zven, Multifaceted Impact, Women and Infants and Children (WIC) Program, Logistical Issues, Stigma, Military Medicine, Nutrition Education, Healthy and Affordable Food, Policy Changes, Mental Health, Recruitment, Retention, Military Readiness, Obesity, Anxiety, Depression, COVID-19, Double Appointments, Supply Chain Issues, Eligibility, High-Risk Families Hashtags: #WarDocs #Military #Medicine #Podcast #MilitaryFoodInsecurity #FeedingOurTroops #NourishingDefenders #WICProgram #CombattingHunger #FoodInsecuritySolutions   Honoring the Legacy and Preserving the History of Military Medicine The WarDocs Mission is to honor the legacy, preserve the oral history, and showcase career opportunities, unique expeditionary experiences, and achievements of Military Medicine.
