  2. Clickhouse is winning the Observability Wars

    For roughly the last ten years, a meaningful percentage of my working hours have been spent thinking about observability. If you're not familiar with the term, "observability" is what we call it now that "monitoring" doesn't sound expensive enough. The actual work is unglamorous in that you collect

  14. Unfortunately, You Need to Know What the Jevons Paradox is

    One thing I think a lot AI boosters get wrong is that they think AI will be good at creating new, quality information while, at the moment, the only thing it has shown utility at is organizing existing information. Even the weights themselves are a kind of distillation of existing information. Much of science...perhaps even the great majority of it, is not organizing existing information, it is acquiring new information. AI might make that more efficient, but it does not do it. This is one of the things that writing this video made me think. I look forward to other people's thoughts in the comments. Video edited by Milo Erbach - https://miloportfolio.carrd.co/

  22. New paper: "Functional Decision Theory"

    MIRI senior researcher Eliezer Yudkowsky and executive director Nate Soares have a new introductory paper out on decision theory: "Functional decision theory:

  23. Functional Decision Theory

    Functional Decision Theory is a decision theory described by Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares, an attempt at a logical decision theory, which says that agents should treat one’s decision as the output of a fixed mathematical function that answers the question, “Which output of this very function would yield the best outcome?”. It is a replacement of Timeless Decision Theory, and it outperforms other decision theories such as Causal Decision Theory (CDT) and Evidential Decision Theory (EDT). For example, it ends with better outcomes than CDT on Newcomb's Problem, ends better than EDT on the smoking lesion problem, and ends better than both in Parfit’s hitchhiker problem. In Newcomb's Problem, an FDT agent reasons that Omega must have used some kind of model of her decision procedure in order to make an accurate prediction of her behavior. Omega's model and the agent are therefore both calculating the same function (the agent's decision procedure): they are subjunctively dependent on that function. Given perfect prediction by Omega, there are therefore only two outcomes in Newcomb's Problem: either the agent one-boxes and Omega predicted it (because its model also one-boxed), or the agent two-boxes and Omega predicted that. Because one-boxing then results in a million and two-boxing only in a thousand dollars, the FDT agent one-boxes.
