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: When is correlation transitive?, published by Ege Erdil on June 23, 2023 on LessWrong. It's a well-known property of correlation that it's not transitive in general. If X,Y,Z are three real-valued random variables such that ρ(X,Y)>0 and ρ(Y,Z)>0, it doesn't have to be the case that ρ(X,Z)>0. Nevertheless, there are some circumstances under which correlation is transitive. I will focus on two such cases in this post. Primer: correlation as an inner product For what follows, some background knowledge is necessary that we can regard correlations of real-valued random variables with finite second moments as inner products in an appropriate Hilbert space. Specifically, if X,Y are two such random variables with zero mean and unit standard deviation, which is a simplification we can always make as correlation is invariant under translation and scalar multiplication, then we can compute ρ(X,Y)=cov(X,Y)σXσY=E[XY]−E[X]E[Y]=E[XY] The pairing (A,B)E[AB] defines an inner product on the space of random variables with finite second moments where two random variables are considered equivalent if they are equal with probability 1 (almost surely). The properties that we expect out of an inner product are easy to check: the pairing is obviously bilinear and positive definite. Furthermore, it turns out this inner product turns the space of random variables with finite second moments into a Hilbert space: the vector space turns out to be complete under the induced norm ∥X∥=√E[X2]. Roughly speaking, this means that we can take orthogonal projections onto closed subspaces with impunity. Now that we have this framework, we can move on to the main results of this post. Correlation is transitive when the correlations are sufficiently strong I'll first prove the following: Claim 1: If ρ(X,Y)=a and ρ(Y,Z)=b, then ab−√(1−a2)(1−b2)≤ρ(X,Z)≤ab+√(1−a2)(1−b2) Moreover, these bounds are tight: for any a,b, there is a combination X,Y,Z for which we can make either the right or the left inequality into an equality. Proof We can assume X,Y,Z have mean zero and unit variance without loss of generality. Taking orthogonal projections of X,Z onto the one-dimensional subspace spanned by Y, we can write X=aY+√1−a2HXYZ=bY+√1−b2HZY where E[YHXY]=E[YHZY]=0 and the random variables HXY,HZY have mean zero and variance 1. Taking inner products gives E[XZ]=ab+√(1−a2)(1−b2)E[HXYHZY] Using the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality for our inner product finishes the proof: |E[HXYHZY]|≤∥HXY∥∥HZY∥=1. For the existence proof, let Y be an arbitrary random variable with mean zero and unit variance and pick HXY,HYZ to be perfectly correlated or perfectly anti-correlated standard Gaussians that are uncorrelated with Y. Interpretation When a,b are large and positive, the lower bound ab−√(1−a2)(1−b2) is also positive, and so we have a guaranteed positive correlation between X and Z. One way to simplify this is to make it single-dimensional by assuming a=b. In this case, the lower bound is 2a2−1. If we want a guaranteed positive correlation between X and Z, this means the correlations ρ(X,Y)=ρ(Y,Z)=a have to satisfy a>1/√2≈0.7. This condition is quite strict, and we might wonder if some transitivity of correlation can be recovered in the absence of such strong correlations between X,Y and Y,Z. It turns out the answer is yes, at least if we assume the random variables are in some sense "generic". Correlation is transitive on the average It turns out that in a suitable sense, when X,Y and Y,Z are positively correlated, there is a tendency for X,Z to also be positively correlated, even though per Claim 1 we can't deduce that they must be positively correlated. The precise version of this claim is as follows: Claim 2: Let X,Y,Z be vectors independently and uniformly distributed on the n-dimensional unit sphere Sn⊂Rn+1, and let −1≤a,b≤1 be two re...

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: Inferring utility functions from locally non-transitive preferences, published by Jan Hendrik Kirchner on February 10, 2022 on The AI Alignment Forum. As part of the AI Safety Camp, I've been diving a bit deeper into the foundations of expected utility theory and preference learning. In this post, I am making explicit a connection between those two things that (I assume) many people already made implicitly. But I couldn't find a nice exposition of this argument so I wrote it up. Any feedback is of course highly welcome! Preference utilitarianism and the Von-Neumann-Morgenstern theorem. At the risk of sounding drab, I briefly want to revisit some well-trodden territory in the realm of expected utility theory to motivate the rest of this post. When we are thinking about the question of how to align advanced AI with human values, we are confronted with the question of whether we want to capture "How humans act" or "How humans should act". Both approaches have virtue, but if we're being ambitious we probably want to aim for the latter. However, our understanding of "How humans should act" is still rather confused and ready-made solutions to "plug into" an AGI are not available. Rather than tackling the entire problem at once, we might focus on one particularly well-formalized portion of ethics first. A possible answer to the question "How should I act?" comes from preference utilitarianism where we focus on satisfying everyone's preferences (as revealed by their choices). I say that this portion of ethics is well-formalized because, it turns out, if you are being reasonable about your preferences, we can represent them succinctly in a "utility function," u(A)∈R. This utility function has the neat property that for two possible options, L and M, you prefer option M over option L iff u(M)>u(L). This is the famous "von-Neumann-Morgenstern theorem" which sits at the heart of an approach of "doing good better". Now given that the utility function lives in the realm of mathematics, there is a seemingly natural strategy to use it to steer AI. Get everyone's utility functions, combine them into a target function, and then let the AI pick the actions that increase the target function the most. If we have to pick a single number to maximize, there is a case to be made that utility is one of the best single numbers we can hope for. Sounds good. Where is the catch? The futility of computing utility. Let's start by trying to write down a utility function. The proof of the von-Neumann-Morgenstern is constructive, i.e., it doesn't only guarantee the existence of a utility function, it also shows us the way to get there. Here is a step-by-step guide: 1. Write down all the possible elementary outcomes that we might want to know the utility of. Ah. Yeah. That's going to be a problem. "All the things" is a lot of things. We might (and will, in this post) limit ourselves to a toy domain to make some progress, but that will be a poor substitute for the thing we want: all the possible outcomes affecting all existing humans. We might not think of some outcomes because they appear too good to be true. (Or too weird to be thinkable.) We might even want to include those outcomes in particular, as they might be the best option that nobody realized was on the table. But if we can't think of them, we can't write them down. (Perhaps there is a way out. An essential nuance in the first step is writing down "all the possible elementary outcomes." We don't need to consider all the outcomes immediately. We only need to consider a set from which we can construct the more complicated outcomes. We need a basis of the space of possibilities. That's already infinitely easier, and we're always guaranteed to find a basis. Hopefully, we can find a basis of a system that is rich enough to describe all relevant ou...

It's Week 5 of the college football season and just like the Big 12, we've gone completely off the rails. We begin as Carla literally dons her academic hat and offers a proposal that the CnCShow's Stanford Postulate, by way of the Transitive Property of College Football, is now applicable to Mississippi State. (Just listen. It'll kind of make sense. We hope.) And then, Crappy attempts to talk about Cincinnati ... but is affectionately interrupted by his adoring (and hungry) cat, Charlie. So, yeah.

No. 13 Texas A&M at No. 2 Alabama (3:30 ET, CBS): The Aggies were ... sloppy, at best last weekend against Vandy. Bama is, well, Bama. Can Kellen Mond shake the rust enough to hang with the Tide? No. 7 Auburn at No. 4 Georgia (7:30 ET, ESPN): OK, so we were wrong about Bo Nix and Auburn last week. But we're not sure anyone saw Georgia's early struggles coming. All Crappy knows is that a fleet of QBs is not typically a successful offensive strategy. Texas Tech at Kansas State (3:30 ET, FS1) and No. 18 Oklahoma at Iowa State (7:30 ET, ABC): We added these two Big 12 games because, as Crappy puts it, we just can't look away. Carla would like to see both Texas Tech and KState win the first game, and we're just both really confused by the Sooners and Cyclones. Who needs defense anyway? And so with all of the trainwrecks, postulating, feline distractions, and a now-postponed NFL reference aside ... we hope you enjoy the football this weekend, yinz guys. Cheers.

In this episode I make use of the song 'Take on me' by the 80's Norwegian band a-ha to explain the rule of word order in separable phrasal verbs. *I do not own the rights to this song, and the segment of the song played in this episode is for educational purposes only.* Rule: With separable phrasal verbs, if the direct object is a pronoun ( me, you, I we, etc) it has to go in the middle of the phrasal verb. That is, it has to be separate. TAKE ON- transitive Transitive- take on something. To accept some work or responsibility- Together- “ She is really taking on a lot at work these days. “ “Working mothers take on a lot.” 2. Transitive and Separable- to fight or compete against someone (similar if you imagine it as accepting some work, the work of fighting someone.) Often used for competitive or sporting events. Together- “ The Chicago Bulls will take on the Mets next Saturday.” Separate- “ Our team will take them on!” (less common) Useful links- Stay up to date and follow me on Instagram @english.for.introverts .

I've noticed that the people at the very top in business can be absolutely shameless. They do not care at all what people think about them and they're willing to do pretty much anything publicly, despite the judgement that will come their way.Not caring what people think and focusing on the task at hand works great, but most people are completely unwilling to do this. This is what stands between where they are now and where they want to go in life or in business.1. People think anyone different from them is an idiot. For example, this is pretty much how the internet functions.2. In the US, two thirds of adults are overweight. Also, the average annual income is $48,000. If you believe the things that everyone else believes, this is exactly where those beliefs will lead you. 3. People are this way because of their actions. If we believe that going in $200,000 of student debt is the right thing to do for our careers, we will do it. 4. Different results require different actions. If you want different results than average, you must act differently. 5. Taking different actions means you look like an idiot. People think doing this makes you crazy which, related to #1, is because you're different. 6. Success means you look like an idiot. You act and believe differently from almost anyone around you. 7. Most people are unwilling to look stupid. This is because of biological survival mechanisms in our bodies. 8. If most people are unwilling to look stupid, that means most people will never succeed beyond what's average. 9. To succeed, be willing to look stupid. It's a practice. You have to make this decision very single day. The more that you do it, the easier it will get. Do the thing you're so afraid of, and your body will slowly realize that it doesn't need to worry about them. To learn more about being okay with looking stupid, visit https://www.digitalnomad.com/podcast

Maybe it's because their brains were frozen by this week's cold snap, but Carla dives into the transitive properties of college football and finds that Appalachian State really should be top 4 in the CFP rankings at this point, while Crappy decides this is his week for Hot Takes and what will almost certainly work out to be Dumb Picks. It could also be that Crappy was distracted by his Bobcats playing a tight game against Western Michigan while they taped.   Details? They don't see eye to eye on this week's Clemsoning Index, but they agree that Notre Dame needs to be on its toes for a Top 25 matchup against Navy. And that's even before they start in on this week's featured games: Georgia at Auburn (3:30 p.m., CBS) — Is Jake Fromm State Farm really that good?; Minnesota at Iowa (4 p.m., Fox) — Rowing the Boat in Iowa City; and Oklahoma at Baylor (7:30 p.m., ABC) — Defense wins championships, except in the Big 12.   Hitch up your khakis, boys and girls, and get ready for a fun weekend.
