Desiderata for the Theory of Agents
TLDR: I give informal conceptual desiderata for the theory of agents we need to solve ASI alignment, and show a few examples of how existing theories fall short of these desiderata. A Theory of What? The word "agent" is often used in the AI safety discourse and in other research communities, but the intended meaning and scope of this concept varies substantially. For the purpose of this sequence, I informally define an agent to be a system with inputs ("observations") and outputs ("actions") that is effective at steering its environment in the direction of particular preferences, for a large v

重回舞台,做音乐
重回舞台,做音乐 tldr: 这周末的 纪实戏剧演出 ,和一个用来理解音阶的 网页应用 。 最近因为给表妹的毕业作品帮忙,时隔十四年后,又要做戏剧了。不过这次不导也不演,而是配乐。 这是部纪实戏剧,全部台词都来自于真实的对话、活生生的人物。因为对白是真实的,就和真实世界一样无法简单干净地归类,最后的剧本也就如一张巨大的拼图,穿越时间空间、民族国家。访谈的话题从项羽和虞姬的故事出发,历史、京剧、陈凯歌 93 年的电影《霸王别姬》、陈佩斯 25 年的戏剧和电影《戏台》层层相叠,蔓延到政治、文化、这个世界正在经历的战争与 AI 变革,又回到受访者们各自不同的文化、国家和成长背景。 我一直喜欢全世界各地的音乐,却难以找到适合的地方用上我这大杂烩的口味,在这部戏里正好派上了用场。每个地区、文化都有自己独特的音律和节奏,用它们来描绘剧里多样的情绪,让剧情的起伏带着观众环球旅行。过去几个月我在探索蓝草、布鲁斯,琢磨怎么在大提琴上即兴、怎么把不同的音阶融合在一起,这下也派上用场了。不过,很快我就发现,我的乐理知识还是不够用。 在后来成为剧本的访谈中,我也是受访者之一。访谈里,我提到了一段从未公开讲过的故事,关于我在亚马逊雨林里死藤水的经历。那段经历的情感清晰,该用什么音乐我也很明白。它让我想起西班牙的弗拉门戈和葡萄牙的法朵,有小调的忧郁,也有南欧的明朗;是伤逝又是解脱,是阳光下的悲欣交集。在大提琴

How to fund Rust contributors
TLDR: To fund general maintenance, donate to the Rust Foundation Maintainers Fund or sponsor the RustNL Maintainers Team To fund specific features and improvements, sponsor fundable Rust Project Goals To fund individual contributors, donate to their GitHub Sponsors accounts There is always so much to do in the Rust Project! New features to implement, bugs to fix, performance optimizations to make, issues to triage… It takes a lot of work to keep our high bar of quality while also shipping new features and improvements. And the workload keeps increasing with the continuous growth of Rust adopti
