He knocked on more than 8,000 doors and was rejected at nearly all of them. He has heard every kind of ‘no' imaginable – polite, awkward, aggressive, even the kind where people close the door while you're still mid-sentence. That experience taught him resilience and self-belief. He realised that some doors open because of timing, some open because you asked, but most open because you had the determination to keep showing up, long after others gave up.

There have been many reports in the last several years of a growing trend of estranged families in the United States. For those who make the decision to go "no contact" (or "low contact") with their family members, the response from non-family members can be a mixed bag of support and judgment... often independent of the person's reasons for making that choice. What's going on with the contemporary phenomenon of people going low or no contact with their family members? Is such a decision morally acceptable, or is forgiveness and relationship maintenance something we owe to others, but especially our family? What does a "good" family look like? And why do we so often find ourselves in the position of hoping for the best without any guarantees that things will turn out well?In this episode, we investigate the ways in which our families shape our identities and how the stories we tell about family relationships often determine how we see and understand others. As you'll notice throughout the episode, it turns out that nothing gets people going like family! We're joined by Dr. Kiran Bhardwaj, whose work centers on these complex ethical issues and who walks us through some philosophical distinctions that may help in navigating the murky waters of distressed family relations. Grab a drink and join us as we attempt to think through, rather than simply react to, the long and tangled ties of family.Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/family---------------------SUBSCRIBE to the podcast now to automatically download new episodes!SUPPORT Hotel Bar Sessions podcast on Patreon here!

Episode Summary: The Age of Victoria continues its 2026 “Famine & Revolution” series by stepping away from the political scandals of Lola Montez and into the microscopic world of a biological invader. In this episode, we begin our deep dive into the “Hungry Forties” by looking at the environmental and material foundations of the era. Using the “Longue Durée” framework of the Annales School, we explore the forces that dictate the fate of civilizations. We examine the “Malthusian Trap”—the point where surging urban populations outstripped the land's ability to feed them—and why the humble potato was both the savior and the Achilles’ heel of the 19th-century economy. Support the Show: This podcast is fiercely independent and relies on listener support to maintain access to academic archives and primary sources. To help us reach our goal of 25 paying patrons this month and keep the history deep, please join the crew at: Patreon.com/ageofvictoria Key Topics Covered: The Annales School & Fernand Braudel: Why history is more than just economics or the work of great people—it is the slow, grinding reality of the “Longue Durée”: climate, biology, and the material systems that constrain human action. The “Biological Invader”: The science of Phytophthora infestans. How a fungus from the Americas managed to cross the Atlantic and “dissolve” the food supply of a continent. The Malthusian Trap: A demographic analysis of the early 19th century. We look at the “tipping point” where population growth finally collided with limited agricultural resources. Urbanisation & The Hinterland: How industrial mega-cities like London and Paris broke the traditional link between people and their food sources, creating a precarious global supply chain. The Chemistry of the Potato: Why the potato was the “perfect” industrial crop—producing more calories per acre than any grain—and why its monoculture became a death trap. The Global “Hungry Forties”: Debunking the myth that the famine was a localized event; tracing the “Pandemic of Rot” as it moved from the USA to Belgium, Prussia, Scotland, and Ireland.

Is Air EMS Overutilized for Kids? Tune in to the latest PEC Podcast! Editors Maia Dorsett and Joelle Denofrio-Odmann sit down with authors Dr. Vishal Naik and Dr. Sriram Ramgopal to unpack their compelling research, "Rapid Discharge Following Air Transport in Children". This multicenter study, published in Prehospital Emergency Care, reveals that more than two-thirds (66.0%) of children transported to the Emergency Department (ED) by air EMS are either discharged directly from the ED (20.0%) or within 48 hours of admission. While air transport is crucial for critically ill children, these findings emphasize the need for additional research into the decision-making processes surrounding pediatric air EMS to support optimal resource utilization and patient care. Dr. Naik and Dr. Ramgopal discuss key factors associated with rapid discharge, including lower triage acuity and certain diagnoses like musculoskeletal and connective tissue diseases. Discover what this high rate of rapid discharge implies for potential over-triage in pediatric air medical transport systems.

Send us a textThis week on Three Kitchens Podcast, we welcome Renu Bhardwaj, a UK-based food blogger and author of Celebrate Diwali: Recipes, Activities, and Crafts for the Entire Family.Celebrate Diwali includes crafts, celebration tips, and of course, recipes: delicious, accessible Indian dishes that blend tradition with a modern, family-friendly approach. Renu shares her memories of learning to cook alongside her mother, and the dishes that take her right back to those regular family dinners, and annual Diwali festivals. We make one of her favourites, chole bhatura. As Renu describes it in her book: "The irresistible combination of spiced chickpeas and puffy, deep-fried bread makes chole bhatura a cherished and very popular Punjabi dish, especially at Diwali. Chickpeas are simmered and infused with aromatics and spices, and the dough needs to rest before being fried to create the pillowy bhatura, so I reserve this for special occasions like Diwali. Chole bhatura is also sure to wow guests with its layers of flavors and textures, bringing a celebratory mood and an atmosphere of joy, gratitude, and togetherness—and that crisp, hot-from-the-pan bread always tempts me into a gratifying second helping."We enjoyed making (and eating!) chole bhatura at home. The chickpeas couldn't be easier, and while the bread will take a little practice, we recommend giving it a try. It's everything Renu says it is -- warm, comforting and worthy of going back in for seconds.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Can Generalized Adversarial Testing Enable More Rigorous LLM Safety Evals?, published by Stephen Casper on July 30, 2024 on The AI Alignment Forum. Thanks to Zora Che, Michael Chen, Andi Peng, Lev McKinney, Bilal Chughtai, Shashwat Goel, Domenic Rosati, and Rohit Gandikota. TL;DR In contrast to evaluating AI systems under normal "input-space" attacks, using "generalized," attacks, which allow an attacker to manipulate weights or activations, might be able to help us better evaluate LLMs for risks - even if they are deployed as black boxes. Here, I outline the rationale for "generalized" adversarial testing and overview current work related to it. See also prior work in Casper et al. (2024), Casper et al. (2024), and Sheshadri et al. (2024). Even when AI systems perform well in typical circumstances, they sometimes fail in adversarial/anomalous ones. This is a persistent problem. State-of-the-art AI systems tend to retain undesirable latent capabilities that can pose risks if they resurface. My favorite example of this is the most cliche one many recent papers have demonstrated diverse attack techniques that can be used to elicit instructions for making a bomb from state-of-the-art LLMs. There is an emerging consensus that, even when LLMs are fine-tuned to be harmless, they can retain latent harmful capabilities that can and do cause harm when they resurface ( Qi et al., 2024). A growing body of work on red-teaming ( Shayegani et al., 2023, Carlini et al., 2023, Geiping et al., 2024, Longpre et al., 2024), interpretability ( Juneja et al., 2022, Lubana et al., 2022, Jain et al., 2023, Patil et al., 2023, Prakash et al., 2024, Lee et al., 2024), representation editing ( Wei et al., 2024, Schwinn et al., 2024), continual learning ( Dyer et al., 2022, Cossu et al., 2022, Li et al., 2022, Scialom et al., 2022, Luo et al., 2023, Kotha et al., 2023, Shi et al., 2023, Schwarzchild et al., 2024), and fine-tuning ( Jain et al., 2023, Yang et al., 2023, Qi et al., 2023, Bhardwaj et al., 2023, Lermen et al., 2023, Zhan et al., 2023, Ji et al., 2024, Hu et al., 2024, Halawi et al., 2024) suggests that fine-tuning struggles to make fundamental changes to an LLM's inner knowledge and capabilities. For example, Jain et al. (2023) likened fine-tuning in LLMs to merely modifying a "wrapper" around a stable, general-purpose set of latent capabilities. Even if they are generally inactive, harmful latent capabilities can pose harm if they resurface due to an attack, anomaly, or post-deployment modification ( Hendrycks et al., 2021, Carlini et al., 2023). We can frame the problem as such: There are hyper-astronomically many inputs for modern LLMs (e.g. there are vastly more 20-token strings than particles in the observable universe), so we can't brute-force-search over the input space to make sure they are safe. So unless we are able to make provably safe advanced AI systems (we won't soon and probably never will), there will always be a challenge with ensuring safety - the gap between the set of failure modes that developers identify, and unforeseen ones that they don't. This is a big challenge because of the inherent unknown-unknown nature of the problem. However, it is possible to try to infer how large this gap might be. Taking a page from the safety engineering textbook -- when stakes are high, we should train and evaluate LLMs under threats that are at least as strong as, and ideally stronger than, ones that they will face in deployment. First, imagine that an LLM is going to be deployed open-source (or if it could be leaked). Then, of course, the system's safety depends on what it can be modified to do. So it should be evaluated not as a black-box but as a general asset to malicious users who might enhance it through finetuning or other means. This seems obvious, but there's preced...
✍︎: The Curious Worldview Newsletter - the ultimate compliment to the podcast...Jon Lee AndersonCharlie WalkerFollow me on Instagram - @ryanfhoggWhy We Travel - Ash BhardwajAsh Bhardwaj is an author, journalist, film-maker and former british army who amongst his many expeditions has ventured the likes of journeying 8500km along the Russian European border. Retraced secret missions of WW2 through Albania. Walked 800km through India and The Himalayas, meeting the Dalai Lama on the way. Walked 1100km through Uganda and Sudan with Levison Wood which included the first summer crossing of the Bayuda Desert. Trekked the Mt Everest Base Camp with wounded soldiers. Worked on earthquake recovery in the Philippines. Trekked through the Jebel of Dhofar in the footsteps of the SAS, and really he's done a hell of a lot more as well. He recently published his first book titled Why We Travel, and in discussion of his life and worldview I was privileged to have gotten to sit down with him in his home in London to record this very episode - there is a video available on youtube if you are keen.Ash really is my dream style of guest.

Born in Queens, Akshay Bhardwaj studied business at Fordham University and Baruch College, and then pivoted to his passion: cooking. His ascension in the culinary world was extraordinary; between 2012 and 2017, he worked his way from working the line to executive chef at Junoon. Junoon was awarded one Michelin Star eight consecutive years from 2011, and held the title of the only Indian restaurant in New York City with a Michelin Star from 2018-2019. He was also selected as a Gohan Society Culinary Scholar — and traveled to Japan to study the delicate art of omakase — and became the first Indian chef to be selected for the Forbes “30 under 30: Food & Drink” list. Bhardwaj showcases a menu that reflects the diversity of India, steeped in the classics while offering deft touches of modernity.In this episode, we talk about Akshay's journey running a family business, creating an indian fine dining place and how is it different from a “fusion” restaurant, and finally Akshay shares some wisdom for young folks based on his experience."Hey chef, just wanted to ask about March 11th for time off"Still getting time off requests like that ☝️ via text?
