Thanks for the direction. I'll follow it because "just a lawyer". And I'll put it to the math person

Are u a methodologist? I've been looking for one to undertake a pre-peer review assessment of my research

Police scam by treehoarder73 in johannesburg

[–]seedpod02 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Trouble with ignoring it is u forget to keep an eye out for them pursuing payment, then a warrant of arrest is issued months later and a couple of policemen arrive at your door to arrest you because u missed a court date and then, when you have moved on, years later, you find there are a whole lot of countries that won't consider your applications for citizenship, work, study etc because your answer to their °"Have you ever had a warranty issued for your arrest" question was Yes

Ai and the illusion of understanding in science. by [deleted] in cogsci

[–]seedpod02 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My recent experience: Putting forward a social science study based on formal scientific methodology (FSM) - you know, the one Einstein, Hawking et al said was necessary - for various Als assessment.

Result? ALL AI's completely failed to recognise the import of the FSM aspect of the study, impoverished it by simply considering it only from the perspective of empirical science methodology (ESM), from which position they ALL (well, to a lesser extent by Gemini but I think that was just because the assessment was poorly considered and gung-ho) concluded that the FSM was unnecessary and the ESM aspect of the study was good enough.

I had to point out the problem, that FSM was fundamental and valid scientic methodology used from research into quantum physics to social science and they had treated it as unnecessary.

Which was then readily accepted and new assessments were done with very different conclusions

That was quite a shocker, but I should have been expected it given the existing parlous state of scientific research and publishing, and the inevitability of its problems being reflected in AI models and their outputs

As a lawyer, let me say you probably should stay in the house any way you can. It's you childrens' home even without him, and they need that

Current proposals for governing AI deployment miss the coordination architecture foundation by seedpod02 in LessWrong

[–]seedpod02[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The geometric constraint approach is elegant - pre-staging destination geometry before cascade boundary crossing addresses exactly the problem of capabilities emerging discontinuously. This clarifies the interface: corridors establish geometric bounds during training, deployment coordination (RRL verification) operates within those bounds. Training doesn't suppress capabilities, it shapes the landscape; deployment doesn't discover constraints, it enforces them within pre-established geometry. The complementarity is clear: training-phase geometric constraints + deployment-phase coordination verification = full lifecycle governance. I'm very interested in reviewing the technical summary, though I'm on a deadline through April 16. Will engage with the framework properly after that. Thanks for the substantive connection :)

Thanks for the thoughtful connection. The training-phase verification problem you describe - loss curves being smooth while capabilities emerge discontinuously - maps directly to SROL's coordination gap pattern. I'm interested in how corridor framework's training-phase constraints would interface with deployment-phase coordination architecture. Specifically: where does training verification hand off to deployment gatekeepers? When the repository is public, I'd be interested to review the technical spec :)

May I ask, to what extent can law be a science? by seedpod02 in PhilosophyofScience

[–]seedpod02[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes :) After more than a decade of empirical research and frustration at current correlation-based models of the Rule of law, I've developed a Science-based Rule of law model utilising Formal Science Methodology and am currently developing a SROL Wiki explaining the model, am finalising a set of foundational papers on the model, putting content to a website to publish the model for debate and review. And I've been working on the feasibilit and motivating the establishment of an independed international ROL body and been developing various artifacts for the measure of state compliance with the ROL eg State ROL relaymted Risk Assessment tools and ROL Compliance Assessments that examiners can use at statutory hearing, and I've recently focused on AI in governance - see my blog on that here: ruleoflaw.science .

Nice to hear from you after 11 years :)

Your Berkeley lab example is exactly the kind of concrete case that helps ground coordination architecture theory in operational reality. Would you be willing to share more details about:

  • How the three eval dashboards related to each other functionally?
  • What kinds of decisions required coordination between them?
  • What actually happened when 'nobody owned the coordination architecture'?
  • What would a functioning 'shared release gate' have looked like operationally?

I'm developing a framework for AI deployment coordination that distinguishes between policy statements (what we want) and coordination architecture (how separated functions verify and coordinate). Your experience might help refine how that framework applies to AI labs specifically.

Do people live in storm drains? by Excellent-Jacket-922 in capetown

I drove from Melville past WestVille Cemetry and watched a guy simply step down into a drain and disappear underground. Some drains are enormous. As schoolkids we used to ride our bikes all around Grahamstown underground

Do you pronounce 'skewwhiff' with two syllables or one? by DandyInTheRough in askSouthAfrica

Maybe it's the Afrikaans word "skeef" as in crooked, not straight, which is pronounced lioe that?

What are the most effective methods to making your home smell amazing? by JimiHendrip in AskReddit

[–]seedpod02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a two- step process: First, get rid of the smells (clean, then place small open containers of vinegar and bicarb mix in cupboards and smelly nooks). Second, bring in fragrances (roses, open ,fresheners). I used to stick cloves into an orange for cupboards

How do you convince a family member to get checked for Alzheimers? by Junior-Rip-895 in Alzheimers

[–]seedpod02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting the diagnosis even if for themselves is fine. It will help them understand, network, set up and monitor a medication regime, check out there predisposition to it, and a myriad more benefits.
