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: Longtermism Fund: August 2023 Grants Report, published by Michael Townsend on August 20, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Introduction In this grants report, the Longtermism Fund team is pleased to announce that the following grants have been recommended by Longview and are in the process of being disbursed: Two grants promoting beneficial AI: Supporting AI interpretability work conducted by Martin Wattenberg and Fernanda Viegas at Harvard University ($110,000 USD) Funding AI governance work conducted by the evaluations project at the Alignment Research Center ($220,000 USD) Two biosecurity and pandemic prevention grants: Supporting a specific project at NTI | Bio working to disincentivize biological weapons programmes ($100,000 USD) Partially funding the salary of a Director of Research and Administration for the Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics ($80,000 USD) One grant improving nuclear security: Funding a project by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to better understand and advocate for policies that avoid escalation pathways to nuclear war ($52,000 USD). This report will provide information on what the grants will fund, and why they were made. It was written by Giving What We Can, which is responsible for the Fund's communications. Longview Philanthropy is responsible for the Fund's research and grantmaking. We would also like to acknowledge and apologise for the report being released two months later than we would have liked, in part due to delays in the process of disbursing these grants. In future, we will aim to take potential delays into account so that we can better keep to our target of releasing a report once every six months. Scope of the Fund These grants were decided by the general grantmaking process outlined in our previous grants report and the Fund's launch announcement. As a quick summary, the Fund supports work that: Reduces existential and catastrophic risks, such as those coming from misaligned artificial intelligence, pandemics, and nuclear war. Promotes, improves, and implements key longtermist ideas. In addition, the Fund focuses on organisations with a compelling and transparent case in favour of their cost-effectiveness, and/or that will benefit from being funded by a large number of donors. Longview Philanthropy decides the grants and allocations based on its past and ongoing work to evaluate organisations in this space. Grantees AI interpretability work at Harvard University - $110,000 This grant is to support the work of Martin Wattenberg and Fernanda Viegas to develop their AI interpretability work at Harvard University. The grant aims to fund research that enhances our understanding of how modern AI systems function - better understanding how these systems work is among the more straightforward ways we can ensure these systems are safe. Profs. Wattenberg and Viegas have a strong track record (with both having excellent references from other experts) and their future plans are likely to advance the interpretability field. Longview: "We recommended a grant of $110,000 to support Martin Wattenberg and Fernanda Viegas' interpretability work on the basis of excellent reviews of their prior work. These funds will go primarily towards setting up a compute cluster and hiring graduate students or possibly postdoctoral fellows." Learn more about this grant. ARC Evals - $220,000 The evaluations project at the Alignment Research Center ("ARC Evals") works on "assessing whether cutting-edge AI systems could pose catastrophic risks to civilization." ARC Evals is contributing to the following AI governance approach: Before a new large-scale system is released, assess whether it is capable of potentially catastrophic activities. If so, require strong guarantees that the system will not carry out such activities. ARC Evals wor...

In the early 2000's (aka the aughts), Derek Fuhrmann's band Omnisoul and my band IKE were very simpático.. we played many shows together and eventually had the same management. Derek actually interned for IKE when he first started working with our manager Jim Johnson and he also played the lead role (of a cocky young rock star) in our music video for our song "Deathbed (Na, Na, Na)" which was an extremely ambitious homage to Citizen Kane.   Within a couple of years of rising up the ranks of the music scene, Ominsoul changed their name to the Crash Motive, signed a deal with Wind Up Records, and hit the road, but fronting the Crash Motive was not to be the path to Derek Furhmann's success, although it would be a very key starting point.   The band's A&R guy, Greg Wattenberg (producer of Train and many other big names) saw something in Derek that kept them in touch well beyond his time on  Wind Up and eventually Derek became a songwriter and producer under Wattenberg's Arcade Songs publishing company, Since the 2010's, Derek has written and / or produced songs with artists like the Goo Goo Dolls, Phillip Phillips, James Bay, Andrew McMahon In the Wilderness, Rascal Flats, and many, many more. He also just signed a new record deal with a subsidiary of Universal Music group with an animated project called MASCOT, which puts him back in his old role of using his killer voice as a lead vocalist again.   I'm excited to share our conversation from the ORIGINAL Bob's Big Boy in Burbank, CA on this episode of TatD!!  ~ JKF ❤

Today's podcast is titled, “Is Optimism Warranted.” Herbert Stein and Ben Wattenberg, Senior Fellows at the American Enterprise Institute, consider the many factors which threaten America’s political stability and economic growth. Stein and Wattenberg agree that while attention has been focused primarily on economic issues, of more pressing concern are the social problems of drug abuse, single-parent families, racism, and the like. Given these challenges, is there any reason to be optimistic that the U.S. will continue to prosper?

And in a matter of moments, it was all over. All the promise of playing games in 2020, becoming the Pac-12 North champions, trying to finish a rough season off the right way with a bowl game at the end of the year…dust. When Washington announced Friday that it would not pursue a bowl opportunity because of medical reasons, it simply underscored the obvious; the coronavirus pandemic hit the Huskies at the worst possible time, and there was no way they were going to be able to extract themselves from it in time to play post-season football. So that was it. Washington will finish their 2020 season with a 3-1 record. The last time they only played four games in a season? 1918, the same year America suffered through its last pandemic. The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - talk about the abrupt end to UW’s season, what to make of it, and whether or not fans should get excited for spring football or if they might get delayed. And what might that mean for the high school football season, scheduled to take place in the spring? If it doesn’t happen, would that affect when certain prospects might enroll at UW? Talk moved to Friday night’s Pac-12 Championship game, won by Oregon over USC 31-24. Nothing about the game seemed right from the start, from the fact that Oregon was playing in it, to USC’s 38 total rush yards, to Oregon’s 243 total yards of offense. It was certainly not the showcase event Larry Scott and the conference was hoping for. Back to more Husky news, there were some comings and goings over the last 48 hours, highlighted by Jacob Sirmon transferring from UW to Central Michigan, and Luke Wattenberg announcing his intention to come back to Montlake for his sixth season. The Dawgman guys talk about the impact Wattenberg’s return could mean for the offensive line, and how they might line up next spring. The Huskies continued to add potential impact players with their preferred walk-on program, as two players from O’Dea, Milton Hopkins and Styles Siva-Tu'u both announced their intentions to enroll at UW this summer. Walk on players are still recruitable athletes, so we’ll see if they do but the fact that they want to stay local at this point in time is a very encouraging sign. After a quick break to pay some bills, the Dawgman guys finish the podcast with more recruiting talk, focusing on how the Huskies will finish out their 2021 class (there is a signing period that starts in early February), as well as jump-starting their 2022 class. Could there be news on that front as early as this weekend? Stay tuned. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Larry credits the inception of his new work to a book written in 2004 by Ben Wattenberg called “Fewer” detailing the end of the population explosion. As a result of Wattenberg’s book, Larry put together a more extensive thought on what will occur when this massive population does indeed decrease. This concept inspired the theme […] The post Fewer, Richer, Greener with Larry Siegel appeared first on Intelligent Investing.

With the exception of the inside linebackers, who lost two senior starters but retained one in Edefuan Ulofoshio, no position group has dealt with more upheaval than the Washington offensive line. But a bit of that has been by design. Yes, they lost four seniors that had at least one start in 2019: Trey Adams, Nick Harris, Jared Hilbers, and Henry Roberts. But they also have back four offensive linemen with at least one start in 2019: Luke Wattenberg, Jaxson Kirkland, Henry Bainivalu, and Matteo Mele. Wattenberg's starts were at left guard, while Kirkland's were at right guard. So you've got those positions settled, right? No. Wattenberg has been taking all his reps at center, while Kirkland has made the ambitious move from right guard to left tackle, losing 25 pounds along the way. And when asked Thursday to name his top-10 OL right now in the room, UW Offensive Line Coach Scott Huff rattled them off: Jaxson Kirkland, Luke Wattenberg, Henry Bainivalu, Ulumoo (M.J.) Ale, Victor Curne, Troy Fautanu, Matteo Mele, Nate Kalepo, Corey Luciano and Julius Buelow. So he has a host of talented players to work with, but less than three weeks to put together a cohesive unit capable of going on the road and beating Cal on November 7. The Huskies were able to put full pads on just two days ago. How is Huff going to get it done? In Thursday's media call, he talked about the position moves for Wattenberg and Kirkland, the push toward finding that best five or seven linemen he can count on for the shortened 2020 season, as well as how some of the first-year players have shown up, specifically players like Gaard Memmelaar and Roger Rosengarten. For Wattenberg's part, he thinks Rosengarten looks the part of a young Trey Adams out at left tackle. The media were able to ask Luke about his move to center, ironically replacing his old UW teammate and former high school teammate Harris, what he loves about the move, and how he was able to stay fit and fighting despite the craziness of the coronavirus pandemic. The media also spoke with senior running back Sean McGrew about the running backs room, their role in John Donovan's new offense, and added some insight into how the various position groups were able to hold each other accountable via group chats and videos of them working out to see who was staying sharp.

You’re programmed for hard work, which is a prerequisite for success, but you’ve never been shown how to use what you know to create the life you want with the tools you have. I will show you how. Why You Are Here You've worked hard to achieve greatness. You’ve set goals and maybe even set records. You’ve definitely failed and you’ve at some point found yourself questioning if you were on the right track. You need to understand this: You are far more prepared to succeed than those who’ve not tried, competed, struggled and overcome like you have. That’s the value of your education as someone who aims high. You are prepared to be as successful as your wildest dreams will allow. Here I will teach you, with the help of brilliant minds that have been shaped by failure, struggle, and adversity, to be who you want to be. I sense that you want this because you have read this far.

Welcome to Episode #58 of the Zacks Market Edge Podcast. Every week, host and Zacks stock strategist, Tracey Ryniec, will be joined by guests to discuss the hottest investing topics in stocks, bonds and ETFs and how it impacts your life. In this episode, Tracey is joined by Sheraz Mian, Zacks Director of Research, and a former oil analyst, to discuss where the oil market stands at the end of 2016 and what oil stocks investors should be looking at heading into 2017. Tracey and Sheraz first discussed the oil stocks in late 2015 when the crude sell-off was just in the first innings. It wouldn’t hit $25 until February 2016. Back in 2015, Tracey and Sheraz were both worried about which companies had the best balance sheets and how many would survive the most vicious sell off in crude in the last 50 years. But a year later, the story has changed. The US and International rig counts have bottomed and are slowly starting to trickle up. Crude is up off its lows and while it’s not near the $60 or $70 level many thought it would be at the end of the year, it’s in a zone where the oil companies can make money. Cost cutting is mostly complete which means fewer layoffs. The lending situation has also improved which makes it easier for energy companies to renegotiate loans with their banks. Where does this leave investors looking to get into oil stocks? WTI has fallen 14% this fall which has pushed down the exploration and production stocks from their 2016 highs. Sheraz believes this is a buying opportunity in that area, especially for long term investors. In the short term, he still expects crude and the oil stocks to be volatile. The Best Oil Stocks for 2017 1. Chevron (CVX) is the “safe” play and Sheraz’s favorite among the Big Oil stocks. 2. Apache (APA) just made a big discovery in the Alpine High and analysts believe this has big potential in the next few years. Tracey owns this stock in her personal portfolio. 3. EOG Resources (EOG) is very diversified. It has over 14,000 drilling locations in numerous areas. 4. Pioneer Natural Resources (PXD) has one of the best balance sheets in the industry. 5. In the small and mid-cap E&P sectors, look at Whiting Petroleum (WLL) which is strong in the Baaken and Synergy (SYRG), a small E&P in the Wattenberg in Colorado. The insiders have been buying shares in SYRG. Sheraz also thinks investors can poke around in some of the big service companies. With some rigs being reactivated, the first contractors they will call are companies like Schlumberger (SLB) and Halliburton (HAL). Sheraz and Tracey still think it’s too early to get into the niche oil service companies like those that transport personnel to the rigs or provide safety gear. The industry, while on the upswing, isn’t yet at full throttle. Those might be plays later in 2017. What else should you know about the oil stocks and how to play them?

Synopsis: Which diet will optimize your obstacle resistance-- Paleo, raw foods, clean eating or some emerging trend? According to Cornell head nutritionist Clint Wattenberg, there is a time and a place for almost any kind of food as long as you eat it in moderation and your grandma would recognize it. Trying to be “perfect” with your diet will often drive you to the other extreme or, worse, to an eating disorder. If you love food and eating, then Wattenberg has some great news.Lessons:1. Be moderate with your diet, not extreme.2. Only eat foods that your grandma would recognize and as many whole foods as possible.3. Nutrition is the foundation to build a performance, not the golden key.

Historically, wrestling has been looked at from the outside world as a society of people who starve themselves and put themselves through agony just to compete. Wrestlers know it's more than that. Wrestlers also know proper weight management is based on sound nutrition. They know what to do and what not to do. On Episode 18 of the World Wrestling Resource Podcast, Clint Wattenberg, the Coordinator of Sports Nutrition Nutrition at Cornell University, will join Jason Bryant and Iowa associate head coach Terry Brands in a discussion about where nutrition has evolved and how important it is to wrestlers. Wattenberg is a California native who also works with the My Sports Dietician group with a wrestling-centric website at MyWrestlingNutrition.com and he's authored Performance Nutrition for Wrestlers, a book aimed at making what works work and what doesn't work go away.
