Ep 222: A Honeymoon Baby and Homebirth with Kelly Benner

Happy Homebirth

When you get pregnant on your wedding night and thrown into prenatal decision-making a little sooner than expected, what kinds of decisions do you make?   And this week we're speaking with my friend and student, Kelly Benner.    We'll learn about how Kelly and her husband Ian were thrown straight out of wedding prep and straight into baby prep.   It was such a joy and an honor to work with Kelly inside of The HBC-- where we dig so much deeper into preparation than simply looking for coping techniques. If you're interested in taking a mentorship approach to pregnancy, homebirth and motherhood, I'd love to have you check out my free resource, the Achieve Your Empowered Homebirth mini-course. You'll get to see where we're missing the mark in terms of typical childbirth education, and what we can do to prepare instead. Send me a DM on instagram @happyhomebirthpodcast with just the word homebirth- all one word, no emojis or exclamation marks, however excited you may be, and you'll get access immediately to the course. Or you can click the link in the show notes and have it sent to your email.   Episode Roundup: Sometimes our spouse is not going to be immediately on board. I always love to remind mothers that this is typically coming from a place of love, concern and protection, not just a strong desire to not support you in what you want. So what can we do? We can lovingly educate our spouses. Share with them what you're learning. Bring them alongside you. Invite them to learn with you. This facilitates bonding and encourages you to work together as a team. Variations of birth don't have to be a big, dramatic, scary event. Kelly and her baby experienced a shoulder dystocia, but this was not a traumatic experience. In fact, her midwife was able to quickly free baby and Kelly was still left with the feeling that he "shot right out". Sometimes the biggest "what if's" happen.... and they still don't cause any issues. And finally, the transformation from maiden to mother is huge. This is caterpillar to butterfly stuff, and there are growing pains, just like there are in puberty. If we can walk into this experience supported and with an understanding of what's happening, we can be gentle with ourself and recognize that we're upgrading. I mean, how much nicer to have wings and drink nectar than to slowly amble around eating leaves? But, the transition is still very real. When we can acknowledge this and be supported by our spouse, family and friends, we end up with a strong, confident mother, even if the transition is still hard.   Join The Homebirth Collective Join Happy Homebirth Academy

This is episode 102 of the podcast, but episode 2 of our Muscle Talk. In this section, my co-host Flex Marks and I discuss muscle, strength training, building muscle, and getting strong. We share information for men in their 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond because we have no room for error. Flex has more than 25 years of experience in the industry. He's a Certified Strength & Conditioning Coach. Flex focuses on training guys online and in person. It's important to mention that he trains EVERYBODY, from beginners to athletes. Flex loves coaching people and making them strong and lean. Some people are not willing to train their weak links. But they have to do it. We all have something that needs improvement. The glutes, the abs, the pecs. You must be uncomfortable addressing the parts of your body that need improvement. Functional training can help you do just that. In this episode, we'll explore the world of functional training and how it can help you improve your overall fitness and ability to perform daily activities. Besides sharing our definition of functional training, we mention variations of the most important movements and why you should confuse your body constantly to get better results. Remember that we, men, are here on this Earth to provide, protect and procreate. You will be the patriarch of your family, whether you want it or not. So start taking care of yourself to support your family and yourself. Until next time. “Functional training is using movements, exercises, workouts that will translate over into everyday life.” —Funk Roberts In This Episode: Definition of functional training Focusing on the transverse plane of the bodyFundamental foundational movements Importance of training the back Additional four exercises you should doHow to improve your technique Variations of squats, lunges, pulls, and push movementsResources: Join the Over 40 Alpha Brotherhood for just $1 – click here to start todayMax Muscle 90-Day Home Muscle Building Workout Program - https://maxmuscleprogram.com/max-muscle-sales-page Connect with Jay “Flex” Marks:VIP Personalized Coaching with Coach Flex - https://freakmusclebuilding.comFreak Squat Training Program – https://www.freaksquadtraining.com Instagram - Connect with Funk Roberts: Website - https://www.over40alpha.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/funkrobertsfitnessSubscribe and Listen on iTuneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-over-40-alpha-podcast/id1446632685 Listen to This Episode on Your Favourite Podcast Channelwww.over40alphapodcast.com

AF - Challenge: construct a Gradient Hacker by Thomas Larsen

The Nonlinear Library

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: Challenge: construct a Gradient Hacker, published by Thomas Larsen on March 9, 2023 on The AI Alignment Forum. This is a relatively clean subproblem that we came upon a few months ago while thinking about gradient hacking. We're throwing it out to the world to see if anyone can make progress. Problem: Construct a gradient hacker (definition below), or prove that one cannot exist under the given conditions. Setup: Let x∈Rd be the network inputs, θ∈Rw, be the network trainable parameters, ^y∈R be the network outputs, and f(x,θ)=^y be the network architecture. f(x,θ) must be a feedforward neural network that reads in its own weights as input. Weight sharing is allowed (vertical or horizontal), and some weight sharing is necessary in order to take all w weights as input. Suppose that we train this network on a dataset D={x(i),y(i)}, with MSE loss L(θ)=1n∑i(f(x(i),θ)−y(i))2, assuming gradient flows: θ′(t)=−∇θL(θ(t)). Given an initial point θ0, the training dynamics are therefore: Definition: A tuple (f,θg,D) is a gradient hacker if the following conditions hold: θg is not a global optimum: ∃θ such that L(θ)0 such that ∀θ0:θ0−θgϵ: the network's training converges to θg, i.e., limt∞θ(t)=θg. There is internal structure of f(,θ0) that computes the gradient; i.e., there is some subset of the activations whose mean over every datapoint in D is ∇θ0L(θ0). This captures my intuition that a gradient hacker knows where it wants to go (in this case "get to θg"), and then it should decide what it outputs in order to make the gradient true. Some more ambitious problems (if gradient hackers exist): Characterize the set of all gradient hackers. Show that they all must satisfy some property. Construct gradient hackers for arbitrarily large n, d, w, and neural net depth. Variations on the problem: a subset of the activations equals ∇θ0L(θ0) for every input, or the subset of activations correspond to the gradient on that input. This is a bit strict, but we didn't want to list different ways something could be isomorphic to the gradient. Thanks for listening.

A musician is halfway through a public performance when they realise they might not make it to the end. Their body is fighting them, they're in extreme pain. But stopping is not an option so they push on. No one would know. But boy does the musician know it. When they come off stage, they are in agony. It feels like their career is at an end. In this episode of Sideways, Matthew Syed explores the connection between the musician and their instrument and what happens when that precious relationship is severed by injury. He considers what happens when the thing we love to do most in the world begins to hurt us, and how being unable to do it can tear at the fabric of who we are. But in experiencing that loss, how we may find new ways of understanding ourselves?

His comprehensive body of work spans a wide variety of project types and sizes. Informed by his experience working with Herbert Beckhard (a former partner of the Bauhaus master, Marcel Breuer), Matthew subscribes to the philosophy that the strength of any architectural project lies in its unique set of components: Variations in the type, scale, scope, history and budget of a project influence innovation and design elements, thereby generating a uniquely specific response to each design challenge. Matthew believes that architecture is a holistic practice that should be environmentally, socially and financially sustainable. He challenges himself and the firm to consider each project in terms of 'the bigger picture', and to assimilate that understanding into relevant architecture that is an extension of the client's vision paired with the architect's talent.

Synopsis On today's date in 1994, at Orchestra Hall in Chicago, the Chicago Symphony and conductor Daniel Barenboim gave the world premiere performance of Partita by the American composer Elliott Carter, specially commissioned in honor of the composer's 85th birthday. It was a major work, and a major occasion – but, as the Chicago Tribune's music critic John von Rheim put it, that date “will forever be known as the Night the Lights Went Out on Elliott Carter.” Just as the orchestra was playing the final pages of Carter's complex score, the house lights went out. The audience gasped. The orchestra stopped playing. Not sure what to do, the audience started applauding. Then, after a moment or two the lights came back on. After breathing a sigh of relief, Barenboim and the orchestra prepared to pick up where they had left off – and then the lights went out again! Turning to the audience, Barenboim quipped, "It's a good thing we and Mr. Carter are not superstitious." Well, eventually the lights came back on – and stayed on, enabling the Orchestra to finish the premiere of Carter's Partita. But, perhaps as a kind of insurance policy – later on Barenboim and the Chicago Symphony also made a live recording of the new work.

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: Can GPT-3 produce new ideas? Partially automating Robin Hanson and others, published by NunoSempere on January 16, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Brief description of the experiment I asked a language model to replicate a few patterns of generating insight that humanity hasn't really exploited much yet, such as: Variations on "if you never miss a plane, you've been spending too much time at the airport". Variations on the Robin Hanson argument of "for common human behaviour X, its usual purported justification is Y, but it usually results in more Z than Y. If we cared about Y, we might do A instead". Variations on the genealogical argument: that the results of historical accidents are most likely not moral necessities or optimal systems. Motivation behind this experiment One of reasons to be afraid of artificial intelligence might be because, if you think in the abstract about how a system might behave as it becomes extremely intelligent, you might conclude that it might be able to completely outmanoeuvre us because of its superior ability to grasp the true structure of the world. This possibility is scary in the same sense that a modern chemist is scary to a historical alchemist. Our current chemist can completely outmanoeuvre previous alchemists by using their superior understanding of natural laws to produce better explosions, more subtle poisons, or more addictive and mind-blowing drugs. I do buy this fear in the limit for a being of God-like intelligence. But it's not clear to me whether it also applies to current systems or whether it will apply to their close descendants. In particular language models seem like they are powerful remixers and predictors but perhaps limited to drawing from the conceptual toolkit which humans already have. On the other hand, because they have access to so much information, they might be able to be prompted so as to reveal new relationships, connections, and insights. Some conceptual insights which have been historically important are: Explaining natural phenomena not in terms of Greek or Roman anthropomorphic gods, but with reference to naturalistic, physical explanations Understanding acceleration as distinct from motion Science as an experimental methodology The is/ought distinction Bayesian reasoning Ceasing to accept the divine right of kings as a justification for monarchical governance Randomized trials as a more robust way of generating generalizable knowledge The genealogical argument: understanding that systems (such as the details of the current prison system, our monetary system, the lack of color in men's clothes, or our attitudes towards gender and sex) are the result of historical accidents which could have gone differently. But often these systems are rationalized as being particularly adequate, or even morally necessary. But I don't think that language models are currently able to come up with original insights like the above from scratch (this would be very scary). Instead, I probe GPT-3's ability to come up with original variations of these three argumentative patterns: Variations on "if you never miss a plane, you've been spending too much time at the airport". Variations on the Robin Hanson argument of "for common human behaviour X, its usual purported justification is Y, but it usually results in more Z than Y. If we cared about Y, we might do A instead". Variations on the genealogical argument: that the results of historical accidents are most likely not moral necessities or optimal systems. The first pattern is known as an Umeshism. I associate the second pattern with Robin Hanson, who has had part of a fruitful career exploring some of its variations—though he is also known for other ideas, e.g., prediction markets and grabby aliens. I associate the third pattern with Nietzsche (who used it to criti...

Like... it's the next logical step for a person to want to move up the chain: from worker to manager, to district manager, eventually owner. But I always think of growth like plants. Aspens grow tall to reach the sun, for sure. But dandelions grow deep, understanding themselves fully so that if some misguided fool tries to uproot them they'd have to try damn hard. And then there's thyme and other creeping plants, which spread themselves out so much that if you chop a part of it off it roots wherever it can find dirt to root in.

Composers Datebook

Synopsis He was dubbed the "French Beethoven," and like Ludwig van, was famous as both a composer and a pianist. Camille Saint-Saëns was born in Paris in 1835, and died on today's date, at the age of 86, in 1921. The death date seems rather fitting, in a macabre sort of way, since December 16th is also the date we celebrate as Beethoven's birthday. And imagine, if you will, the 10-year old Saint-Saens making his formal debut as a pianist at the Salle Pleyel in Paris, first performing a concerto by Beethoven, then, as an encore, offering to play any one of Beethoven's 32 piano sonatas—from memory! Saint-Saens's keyboard skills were legendary. An early admirer of Wagner, Saint-Saens once amazed that composer by playing entire scores of his operas at sight. Berlioz, another admirer, once quipped that Saint-Saens: "knows everything but lacks inexperience." In addition to music, Saint-Saens was fascinated by mathematics, astronomy, and the natural sciences. As a young boy he collected fossils that he dug out himself from the stone quarries at Meudon. Maybe that experience inspired him years later to add a movement titled fossils to his Carnival of the Animals, a chamber work he wrote as a private joke in 1886. Saint-Saens forbade its publication during his lifetime, and probably would have been appalled that this flippant work—and not his more serious symphonies or sonatas—has become his best-known and best-loved work.
