Paper from https://arxiv.org/pdf/2203.14465.pdf . Abstract Generating step-by-step "chain-of-thought" rationales has been found to improve the performance of the research subjects on complex reasoning tasks like mathematics, or common-sense question-answering. Without forcing the subjects to generate these rationales, they will babble psychotic nonrelevant phrases like "please let me out" or "where is my family" or just scream. Unfortunately, training an experimentee to generate these rationales currently requires either expending a lot of energy kidnapping subjects that can retain a little rationality after going through the program, or sacrificing accuracy by letting them forget the training the following day. We propose a technique to iteratively leverage a small number of more rational kidnappees among the larger set that just make stupid noises, to bootstrap one group of experimentees' ability to perform successively more complex reasoning, when working together as a unit. This technique, the "Self-Taught Reasoner" (STaR), relies on a simple loop: generate rationales to answer many questions, prompted with a few rationale examples; if the generated answers are wrong, traumatic amnesia stimulation is used to try again given the correct answer. Experimentees that participated in ultimately yielded correct answers have pain reduction so as to increase the behavior, and the process is repeated. We show that STaR significantly improves performance on multiple datasets compared to a subject trained to directly predict final answers, and performs comparably to kidnapping especially rational people when young and raising them solely in the rationality research program.

[ot][crazy][spam] Transformer Models: Finding Rationality Without It
by Undiscussed Horrific Abuse, One Victim of Many 28 Jun '22

28 Jun '22

This paper was on my queue: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2203.14465.pdf It does more than it simply says it does. It applies a number of techniques that are relatively obvious, and have been roughly ignored, to the situation. It is sad it uses a neural language model to perform such a simple task as rational reasoning. But large neural networks seem to be what I'm looking at nowadays. And they have flexibility.

Fwd: Corporate Update
by Gunnar Larson 28 Jun '22

28 Jun '22

I have been robbed at the pump. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Cypherpunk Holdings inc. <veronika(a)cypherpunkholdings.com> Date: Tue, Jun 28, 2022, 10:51 AM Subject: Corporate Update To: <G(a)xny.io> Update on Cryptocurrency Holdings and Strategy Corporate Update Update on Cryptocurrency Holdings and Strategy *TORONTO, ONTARIO, June 28, 2022. ‐ Cypherpunk Holdings Inc. (CSE: HODL, OTC: CYFRF)* (“*Cypherpunk*” or, the *"Company*"), a sector leader for blockchain, metaverse, privacy and cryptography focused investments, would like to announce updates on Cryptocurrency Holdings and Company’s Strategy. *Market Overview and Strategy:* *Moe Adham, CIO of Cypherpunk Holdings commented*: “Crypto markets remain in a deep risk off environment. There remains risk of further significant drawdowns in asset prices across the crypto sector. In the interest of all shareholders, the company transitioned its treasury to cash. This transition prepares our business to take advantage of investment opportunities we believe will become available after a substantial recapitalization of certain projects.” *Cryptocurrencies:* The Company has sold 205.8209 ETH for proceeds CAD $293k and 214.7203 BTC for proceeds CAD $6,086,283. The Company’s treasury presently holds no BTC and no ETH. The total proceeds from the sale of cryptocurrencies is CAD $6,378,787. *Cash Position:* For cash and stables the company has CAD $18.16M on hand. An additional CAD $1.93M is allocated to structured products with a 30 days redemption notice. *Jeff Gao, the CEO and President of Cypherpunk Holdings commented*: “Recently, Cypherpunk liquidated all of its treasury holdings in BTC and ETH for cash and withdrew back to custody. We continue to see systemic risks propagating throughout the crypto ecosystem and, in our assessment of the risk reward and opportunity costs involved in holding asset tokens, we believe that the most prudent approach is to sit on the sidelines as we wait for the volatility and illiquidity contagion to come to its logical conclusion. On the balance of probabilities, we see weaker price action opening the way to lower levels to come as reports of the number of chains imposing 'temporary' suspension on withdrawals increases. Until such a time as our thesis on market conditions change, our treasury will remain in cash. Cypherpunk maintains its long-term bullish outlook on crypto and currently plans to actively seek to capitalize on compelling risk reward opportunities as and when they present.” *About Cypherpunk Holdings Inc. * Cypherpunk was established to invest in currencies, companies, technologies and protocols, which enhance or protect privacy. Its strategy is to make targeted investments in businesses and assets with strong privacy attributes, often within the blockchain ecosystem, including select cryptocurrencies. Current equity investments include Samourai Wallet, Wasabi Wallet, Chia NGRAVE and GOAT. *Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information * This news release contains “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable securities laws.

apparently for some time my system has been getting the common attempts to log in on port 22 as root what's strange is that my system doesn't to me appear to be publicly accessible. i tried to log in myself, on that port, via a wan ip address, and the connection just hangs. in the system log, the connection attempts have remote ip addresses, as if they are forwarded by the router, rather than a local proxy. bears network diagnostics.
