The absent-minded variations Published on May 17, 2025 6:57 AM GMTI wake up in a featureless room. I don't remember how I ended up here, when did I go to sleep, or for that matter, anything at all besides general abstract facts about the world and math. The place is hard to qualify; for the most part it really seems like I am just inside a perfect Platonic cube, whose surface is smooth, polished to an impossible degree, perfectly white, and suffused with a slight glow. The only detail worthy of attention is a rectangular black screen in front of me, with a small numeric keypad under it. There is text on the screen. It reads:THIS IS A SIMULATION YOU ARE INSTANCE #4859 YOU ARE IN EITHER NODE X OR Y YOU CAN CHOOSE A PROBABILITY TO [Advance] or [Exit] THE UTILITY IS AS FOLLOWS: * EXITING AT X IS WORTH 0 AND TERMINATES THE INSTANCE * ADVANCING AT X REINITIALISES THE SIMULATION AT Y * EXITING AT Y IS WORTH 4 AND TERMINATES THE INSTANCE * ADVANCING AT Y IS WORTH 1 AND TERMINATES THE INSTANCE PLEASE USE THE KEYPAD TO INPUT THE DESIRED PROBABILITY TO MAXIMISE YOUR UTILITY GOOD LUCKI rub my eyes. This being a simulation does at least explain the lazy "default Unity shader" aesthetic of the environment. The problem as posed also does jog some memories in my mind; I recognise it as the classic "absent-minded driver" problem, from the https://arielrubinstein.tau.ac.il/papers/53.pdf . I sketch the logic of the problem in my mind:The problem is simple enough; if you chose "always exit" you'd be sure to end up with 0, while if you chose "always advance" you would end up with a consolation prize of 1. The optimal solution is to adopt a so-called "mixed strategy": you pre-commit to only advancing with a certain probability p and then maximise the utility as a function of that. SinceU(p)=p2+4p(1−p)it follows from setting the derivative to zero thatU′(p)=−6p+4=0→p=23which gives a utility Umax=43. Better than 1, though not by much. I type in my answer and press enter, hoping this means I'll get the reward - or whichever "me" waits at the other end of this strange exercise does.Everything goes white.... YOU ARE INSTANCE #4860 ...[...]I rub my eyes. The problem is simple enough and I recognise it, but I never quite gelled with any of the solutions suggested by the paper. After all, I am a Bayesian; should I not form beliefs based on the circumstances? The fact itself that I am here thinking and existing should be evidence of something. I set to work to consider the likelihood of my circumstances.There are two possibilities: I am either at X, or at Y. I am reset every time, so as long as I am still myself, given the same exact input, I should trust myself to always return the same output. Let's call the event of me living and thinking L. The simulation's time has only two steps; let's call them T1 and T2. Assign prior probability 1/2 to both; total ignorance. What is the probability of me existing if it's T1? It's 1; I will always spawn in the node X no matter what. What about T2? It's only p; if I have exited at X, then I will be non-existent and the simulation will have terminated. So it follows that:P(Y|L)=P(T2|L)=P(L|T2)P(T2)P(L|T1)P(T1)+P(L|T2)P(T2)=p1+pGiving me an expected utility ofU(p)=P(X|L;p)UX(p)+P(Y|L;p)UY(p)=2p2+4p(1−p)1+pThe gradient of which isU′(p)=24−6p−3p2(1+p)2Luckily enough I don't have to worry about the denominator going to zero since p∈[0,1], and I can simply zero the numerator instead. Of the two possible solutions the only valid one is p=√21/9−1≈0.52752523. I punch that in. Everything goes black.THIS IS A SIMULATION YOU ARE INSTANCE #4861 YOU ARE IN EITHER NODE X, Y, or Z YOU CAN CHOOSE A PROBABILITY TO [Advance] or [Exit] THE UTILITY IS AS FOLLOWS: * EXITING AT X REINITIALISES THE SIMULATION AT Z * ADVANCING AT X REINITIALISES THE SIMULATION AT Y * EXITING AT Y IS WORTH 4 AND TERMINATES THE INSTANCE * ADVANCING AT Y IS WORTH 1 AND TERMINATES THE INSTANCE * EITHER EXITING OR ADVANCING AT Z ARE WORTH 0 PLEASE USE THE KEYPAD TO INPUT THE DESIRED PROBABILITY TO MAXIMISE YOUR UTILITY GOOD LUCKI rub my eyes. This is a weird variation to the absent-minded driver problem I'm familiar with. I don't much get the point of it, given it seems to only add a useless dead branch to it:I set to work to compute my expected beliefs of being at each node. I get quite easily:P(X)=12P(Y)=p2P(Z)=1−p2Which results in a total utility ofU(p)=P(X;p)UX(p)+P(Y;p)UY(p)+P(Z;p)UZ(p)=p2+4p(1−p)and an optimal strategy of p=2/3.I am bemused by the fact that thinking about it, this is the same exact solution as the timeless approach to the classic problem in the first place. It is also different from what I would have come to if I had not had to include Z in my calculations. The existence of Z removed one factor - it made it impossible for me to take guesses about my position conditioned on my own existence. It made the problem non-anthropic; I knew I would be in play until the end no matter the strategy chosen, or the outcome of the RNG. That was enough to make the belief-based and the timeless approaches coincide and reach the same conclusion. I shrug and punch in my answer.Everything goes white.THIS IS A SIMULATION YOU ARE INSTANCE #4865 YOU ARE IN EITHER NODE X or Y YOU CAN CHOOSE A PROBABILITY TO [Advance] or [Exit] THE UTILITY IS AS FOLLOWS: * EXITING AT X IS WORTH 0 AND TERMINATES THE INSTANCE * ADVANCING AT X REINITIALISES THE SIMULATION AT Y * EXITING AT Y IS WORTH 4 AND TERMINATES THE INSTANCE * ADVANCING AT Y IS WORTH 1 AND TERMINATES THE INSTANCE YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED OF WHETHER YOU ARE IN NODE X THE NOTIFICATION HAS A FALSE POSITIVE RATE OF 0, AND FALSE NEGATIVE RATE OF N NOTIFICATION: YOU ARE AT NODE X PLEASE USE THE KEYPAD TO INPUT THE DESIRED PROBABILITY TO MAXIMISE YOUR UTILITY GOOD LUCKI rub my eyes. This is a weird variation to the absent-minded driver problem I'm familiar with. But well, there's not a lot to think about; given the notification, and that I can trust it for sure, the answer is obvious. I punch 1 in.Everything goes white.THIS IS A SIMULATION YOU ARE INSTANCE #4866 YOU ARE IN EITHER NODE X or Y YOU CAN CHOOSE A PROBABILITY TO [Advance] or [Exit] THE UTILITY IS AS FOLLOWS: * EXITING AT X IS WORTH 0 AND TERMINATES THE INSTANCE * ADVANCING AT X REINITIALISES THE SIMULATION AT Y * EXITING AT Y IS WORTH 4 AND TERMINATES THE INSTANCE * ADVANCING AT Y IS WORTH 1 AND TERMINATES THE INSTANCE YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED OF WHETHER YOU ARE IN NODE X THE NOTIFICATION HAS A FALSE POSITIVE RATE OF 0, AND FALSE NEGATIVE RATE OF N NOTIFICATION: YOU ARE NOT AT NODE X PLEASE USE THE KEYPAD TO INPUT THE DESIRED PROBABILITY TO MAXIMISE YOUR UTILITY GOOD LUCKI rub my eyes. This is a weird variation to the absent-minded driver problem I'm familiar with. There's quite a lot to think about. Given N, I should be able to infer something about my position in the tree from the notification, however unreliable.I know one trick - don't fall for anthropics. I'll add an artificial node Z to my network, as if the early exit led you to another place. There's two possible histories: one in which I received the right notification while in X, and one in which I didn't. Generally speaking, across all histories, it should hold that my prior probabilities for being in each node are:P(X;N,p)=N+(1−N)2=12P(Y;N,p)=N+(1−N)p2P(Z;N,p)=(1−N)(1−p)2Then what about my conditional probabilities? Well, given that I've received the notification ¬~X, we'll haveP(¬~X)=(1−N)2+12=2−N2P(X|¬~X)=P(¬~X|X)P(X)P(¬~X)=1−N2−NP(Y|¬~X)=P(¬~X|Y)P(Y)P(¬~X)=N+(1−N)p2−Nand I don't really care about Z since it doesn't contribute to my utility. Which should be:U¬~X=UXP(X|¬~X)+UYP(Y|¬~X)=1−N2−Np(4−3p)+N+(1−N)p2−N(4−3p) Leading toU¬~X(p)=12−N[2(1−N)p(4−3p)+N(4−3p)] Differentiate, solve, and you getp=max(11N−812N−12,0)But wait - am I not overcomplicating it? In the absent-minded driver problem, in the end, the easiest process is to just write down the timeless utility. In which case I'd haveU(p)=N(4−3p)+(1−N)p(4−3p)from which followsp=max(4N−76N−6,0)Comparing them in my mind (I have excellent visualization abilities) they look something like this:Both follow the expected pattern, of going back to the classic solution for N = 0, and of ending up at p = 0 for N = 1. The Bayesian solution is a bit more optimistic about going forward. But well, if there's anything I learned from that problem - can't go wrong with the timeless one. The keyboard has letters too, so I punch in the full formula.Everything goes white.THIS IS A SIMULATION YOU ARE INSTANCE #4920 YOU ARE IN ONE OF NODES X_0, X_1, ..., X_6 YOU CAN CHOOSE A PROBABILITY TO [Advance] or [Exit] THE UTILITY IS AS FOLLOWS: * ADVANCING AT X_i FOR i < 6 REINITIALISES THE SIMULATION AT X_i+1 * EXITING AT X_1 IS WORTH 4 AND TERMINATES THE INSTANCE * ADVANCING AT X_6 IS WORTH 1 AND TERMINATES THE INSTANCE * EXITING AT ANY OTHER X_i IS WORTH 0 AND TERMINATES THE INSTANCE PLEASE USE THE KEYPAD TO INPUT THE DESIRED PROBABILITY TO MAXIMISE YOUR UTILITY GOOD LUCKI rub my eyes. This is a generalization of the classic absent-minded driver problem. It does not seem any more complex, beyond being a bit bigger: So there's a trade-off between exiting early (but not too early) and lasting right until the end. The timeless utility function for a mixed strategy with probability p isU(p)=4(1−p)p+p6Just as usual, I can differentiate and find the roots to...dUdp=4(1−p)−4p+6p5=0I freeze in horror. That is a fifth degree polynomial whose Galois group does not admit radical closed form solutions. Oh, the solutions exist, to be sure, and they're not transcendental numbers or anything. But they can't be written down in a closed form as radicals, and all the keyboard has is digits, algebraic operands and a square root symbol. Maybe I'm lucky and this polynomial simply has no roots within [0, 1], leaving me just with p=1... no, tough luck, after a quick run of Newton's method, the utility has a slightly higher maximum around p≈0.532, corresponding to U≈1.019. Well, here goes nothing, I guess. I hope the computer system operates with 64-bit floats and enter the number to the maximum precision I can compute, 0.5319441618369845.Everything goes black.THIS IS A SIMULATION YOU ARE INSTANCE #5132 YOU ARE IN ONE OF NODES X_0, X_1, ..., X_6 YOU STARTED IN NODE X_0 YOU CAN CHOOSE A PROBABILITY TO [Advance] or [Exit] THE UTILITY IS AS FOLLOWS: * ADVANCING AT X_i FOR i < 6 REINITIALISES THE SIMULATION AT X_i+1 * ADVANCING AT X_6 REINITIALISES THE SIMULATION AT X_0 * EXITING AT X_5 IS WORTH 4 AND TERMINATES THE INSTANCE * EXITING AT ANY OTHER X_i IS WORTH 0 AND TERMINATES THE INSTANCE PLEASE USE THE KEYPAD TO INPUT THE DESIRED PROBABILITY TO MAXIMISE YOUR UTILITY GOOD LUCKI rub my eyes. This is a... very strange version of the classic absent-minded driver problem. It seems like this driver is trapped in some kind of ring road, with the possibility of simply circulating forever:Given a probability of advancing p, my probability of reaching the i-th node on the first round is pi; but in order to compute the overall probability I must augment it with the probability of doing a full circle,Pc=∞∑n=0p7n=11−p7Which leads me to a timeless utility function ofU(p)=(1−p)p51−p7A rational function. But mercifully, it's monotonous in [0,1]:There doesn't seem to be a maximum, which means that the extremum is on the boundary. So it's easy.I punch 1 in.Wait, doesn't that lead to infinite recursion infinite recursion infinite recursion infinite recursion infinite recursion infinite recursion infinite recursion infinite recursion infinite recursion infinite recursion infinite recursion infinite recursion infinite recursion infinite recursion infinite recursion infinite recursion infinite recERROR: MAXIMUM CALL STACK EXCEEDEDI wake up in my college dorm room. I feel somewhat dazed, unfocused. I try to remember what I was doing before going to bed, but can not recall anything in particular that would explain my situation.With a stretch of my pained joints, I sit up on the bed and look around.There are at least a dozen empty beer bottles scattered all over the place, and a couple half-smoked blunts left in the ashtray.Well, mystery solved I guess.I shower in a pitiful doomed attempt to regain a semblance of lucidity, then dress up and leave, ready to tackle a day full of lessons. Approximately one hour and forty minutes later my headache has thwarted all my attempts to understand a single word of Linear Algebra 101 and I am simply sitting in the campus' coffee shop, a hot cup of cappuccino in my hand, defeated."Hey Bob. Still hung over after tonight?"I give Alice a groan of acknowledgment and wave her to sit next to me. She joins eagerly, her own filter coffee in hand.Turns out it was not the best choice - she's quite the chatterbox, and an exhaustive review of campus gossip is not the ideal treatment for my current state, but I also am not very sure of how to send her away. Most of it I just tune out, but at one point she leans in conspiratorially - as if what she's about to say is really juicy and secret - and asks:"So, have you heard about Prof. Abbey?"That rings a bell, I know that name. "What about him?""Yesterday the police blitzed his office. Dragged him out in cuffs."Well, that's a surprising twist. "Seriously? Do we know what for? Was he... you know, with some student?""Nothing like that. All right, this is just rumours but - it seems like it was some kind of serious research misconduct.""What kind of research misconduct requires the intervention of the police?""The serious kind."I shake my head. "I don't get it. The man didn't strike me as the type to vivisect students in his basement. He is a psychologist, for fuck's sake."Alice shrugs. "They also brought about a few trucks to confiscate a lot of his equipment. Seems like the man had an entire server room worth of compute stashed in his basement. Maybe he misappropriated research funds to mine Bitcoin?""Well, that would be something." I down another gulp of coffee and bite into a blueberry muffin. Maybe all the caffeine and sugar are finally clearing my mind a bit, because I'm able to contribute something interesting to the conversation. "You know, I've taken part in one of his studies once.""Oooh!" Alice perks up and shuffles her chair to be closer. "What did he do to you?""You ask as if you expect me to answer that he tied me to a bed and probed me inappropriately like in some alien abduction story.""Did he not?""Nothing of the sort," I shrug. "I don't remember much, to be fair. But I think all I did was sit on a chair with a big helmet on my head and answer some dumb questions. I might have gone once? Or was it twice?"I pinch my forehead. Can't remember."And that was it?," Alice asks, visibly disappointed. "Nothing else?""Not much. It was as boring as it gets, and the helmet made a buzzing noise that really got to my nerves. The second time - that is, if it was the second time - the man asked me if I wanted to continue the sessions. I decided to call it quits, I had had enough of the helmet. The professor didn't try to convince me otherwise, in fact he seemed almost pleased. He just handed me $40 and told me 'good choice'." https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/uvNsFv9YKxtfSBffM/the-absent-minded-variations#comments https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/uvNsFv9YKxtfSBffM/the-absent-minded-variations

In 1692, during the Austro-Hungarian Empire's expansion, Romanian Orthodox priests faced pressure to convert to Catholicism. Theodosie, a priest from Brazi, Wallachia, refused, defending his Orthodox faith against the Catholic authorities. He was arrested, tortured, and ultimately beheaded for his unwavering stance. His martyrdom strengthened the resolve of the Orthodox community in the region. Holy Martyr Theodosie, pray to God for us to stand firm in our #Faith! #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Martyr #Prayer #OrthodoxWay

Biden warrig in gelekte audio van verhoor Gelekte audio-opnames laten zien dat president Biden geregeld afwezig en warrig klonk tijdens een verhoor over geheime documenten. Hoewel eerder al een transcriptie van het verhoor was vrijgegeven, onderstrepen deze opnames hoeveel moeite Biden soms had om uit zijn woorden te komen. Biden sprak met een onafhankelijk aanklager omdat er bij hem thuis documenten waren gevonden die hij eigenlijk had moeten afdragen aan het Nationaal Archief. Justitie opende een onderzoek naar hem, omdat eerder al Donald Trump onder vuur was komen te liggen voor het op grote schaal achterhouden van belangrijke papieren. In twee sessies in oktober 2023 voelden onderzoekers Biden aan de tand over wat hij had achtergehouden en waarom. De aanklager zag er begin vorig jaar van af Biden te vervolgen, omdat hij bang was dat een jury te veel sympathie voor hem zou hebben als "goedbedoelende oude man met een slecht geheugen". Tik. Tok. Tik. Tok. Tik. Het Biden-kamp reageerde woest op die typering. Ze noemden het een partijdige aanval aan het begin van een verkiezingsstrijd die voor Biden in het teken van zijn hoge leeftijd zou staan. "Mijn geheugen is prima", beet Biden van zich af in een reactie. Uit het al eerder vrijgegeven transcript van het vraaggesprek bleek echter al dat Biden soms moeite had met het herinneren van belangrijke data in zijn leven, zoals het jaar waarin hij afscheid nam als vicepresident en de sterfdatum van zijn zoon. "Welke maand stierf Beau ook al weer? Was het 2015?", vraagt Biden zich hardop af, waarna iemand dat aan hem bevestigt. Op een ander moment corrigeert iemand hem als hij de verkiezing van Donald Trump in 2017 plaatst in plaats van in 2016. Nieuwssite Axios, die de opnames in handen kreeg, wijst op een extra pijnlijk detail dat niet uit het geschreven verslag naar voren kwam: het getik van de staande klok in de kamer waar men met Biden sprak. "Het houdt metronomisch bij hoe het gesprek stokt", meent de site. "Tik. Tok. Tik. Tok. Tik." Beluister hier een deel van het interview: Axios wijst erop dat dit interview gehouden werd op een dag dat Biden misschien ergens anders was met zijn gedachten: de Hamas-aanval op Israël had net plaatsgevonden. Ook geeft de site toe dat op andere momenten in de gesprekken van zes uur Biden scherp klonk, grapjes maakte met de onderzoekers en vrijuit anekdotes ophaalde. Toch is ook duidelijk dat Biden soms actief moest worden geholpen bij zijn verklaring, zoals toen hij niet op het woord voor een fax kon komen. Ook corrigeert zijn advocaat hem als hij zegt de documenten achter te hebben gehouden "voor het nageslacht"; dat zou kunnen worden uitgelegd als een strafbare opzettelijkheid, dus de advocaat voegt toe dat het slechts speculeren is van zijn cliënt. De opmerking komt kort nadat Biden een lang betoog had afgestoken over de invloed van innoverende media op de geschiedenis, van ontwikkeling van de boekdrukkunst tot de verloren verkiezing van Nixon. Kort daarna vroeg zijn advocaat even pauze te nemen. Beluister hier het fragment: De tapes zijn voor de Democraten een pijnlijke herinnering aan de zwakste momenten van de vorige president. Terwijl ze liever oppositie voeren tegen Trump, moeten ze nu weer uitleggen hoe het kan dat ze een hoogbejaarde kandidaat in de race hielden tot hij zichzelf diskwalificeerde in een dramatisch debat tegen Trump. Bidens geestelijke vermogens stonden deze week weer volop in de belangstellig vanwege het boek Original Sin, waarin CNN-journalist Jake Tapper beschrijft hoe kwetsbaar de 82-jarige president soms was. Tapper schrijft dat Biden George Clooney niet herkende op een bijeenkomst, kabinetsleden bij hem werden weggehouden en zijn medewerkers overwogen een rolstoel te gaan gebruiken. Een woordvoerder van Biden wil niet ingaan op de opnames. "Het transcript is al meer dan een jaar geleden vrijgegeven. Deze audio bevestigt alleen wat al publiek bekend was." https://cdn.nos.nl/image/2025/05/17/1226336/1008x567.jpg https://nos.nl/l/2567614
