USENIX Security 2025 in Seattle is just around the corner! As one of the leading conferences in security and privacy, it's the perfect time to take a closer look at the research being presented. In this special conference episode of CISPA TL;DR, we talk to CISPA researcher Divyanshu Bhardwaj about his work on one of modern life's worst nightmares: phone theft. As Divyanshu points out, our phones hold almost everything—photos, boarding passes, banking apps, and more. So what actually happens when your phone gets stolen? And how can we better protect users in that worst-case scenario? Tune in to hear what Divyanshu learned from real-world phone theft victims and what steps he thinks we can take to keep our data safe, even when our phones fall into the wrong hands.

For people like travel writer Ash Bhardwaj, travel is the "driving force" that inspires and defines his life. But how do you balance the challenges and complexities of travel with the joys and demands of parenthood? This is a subject I am particularly interested in, having recently become a father myself! Ash and I sat down for a deep conversation about travel, parenthood in general, and fatherhood in particular. We spoke about the conspicuous absence of devoted fathers among the great travel writers of the last generation, the experience of traveling with children, and how being a Dad had changed Ash's approach to his career and profession as a travel writer. By Ash Bhardwaj: The paperback edition of "Why We Travel - 12 Reasons to Travel and What They Can Teach You About Life" is out now and available from Amazon and wherever good books are sold. This was a deep and unusual personal podcast, touching on topics we don't normally explore here at Intrepid Times. I am looking forward to hearing what you think!

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...

How do you know when generic symptoms are masquerading as something serious? Hear the story of Molly Lalonde, a pediatric nurse practitioner, who met an 11-year-old patient with an unexpected concern.While surprised by the patient's inquiry, Molly took the time to listen and ask questions. In response to the patient's heightened level of concern, Molly investigated further. Following an assessment by a specialist, it turned out the patient's concern was warranted. So how do you recognize the zebra in a herd of horses? To get another perspective, our host Connie Levie spoke with Dr. Raj Bhardwaj, an urgent care physician and host of the DDx podcast. Dr. Bhardwaj details how to zoom out and get the bigger picture, the importance of respecting the concerns of your patients (just as Molly did), and following your spidey sense.

The Hunters and Unicorns session with Anant Bhardwaj, Founder and CEO of Instabase unveiled an extraordinary journey, starting from humble beginnings to becoming the visionary founder of a groundbreaking AI company, Instabase. The emphasis on developing applications around real-world use cases struck a chord, highlighting the need to identify broader relevance beyond a specific scenario for achieving impactful market fit. Key Takeaways; 1. Early Life and Education: Grew up in a rural part of India called Nalanda, Bihar, without modern amenities. Initially struggled adjusting to a city environment due to a shift in language and educational medium to English. 2. Career Aspirations: Initially wanted to join the Army like family members but was rejected due to colour blindness. Had an interest in literature, poetry, and writing but was discouraged from pursuing it as a career. 3. Academic Journey: Accidentally got into computer science during college in India and discovered a passion for programming. Moved to the US for a master's at Stanford but felt pressure to start a company during this time. Pursued research projects at MIT, one of which was Data Hub, exploring abstracting complex data for diverse applications. Faced challenges with visa status and legal issues but was supported by MIT during this period. 4. Formation of Databricks: Founded Databricks without a clear commercial application but had an academic focus initially. Initially targeted academia, providing free products to professors and students at various universities. 5. Discovery of Commercial Use: Identified a commercial use case with companies like Zenefits and Lending Club needing data extraction from diverse sources like PDFs and images. 6. Product Development and Market Fit: Iterated the product based on market needs and feedback, eventually finding a product-market fit in data extraction and analysis for various industries. Emphasized a fearless and experimental approach to adapt to new opportunities and discover viable product uses. 7. Key Advice from Martin Casado: "Use cases precede the product; product precedes the platform; platform precedes the ecosystem." Don't build a product without understanding the use case it solves. Don't build a platform without a real product. A platform allows value creation by someone other than the creator. 8. Discovery of Product-Market Fit: Understand the key drivers and drags for customers; drivers are critical to why they buy. Find the one or two core drivers that make customers want to buy your product. Prioritize features that cater to these key drivers and address critical pain points. 9. Approach to Product Development: Engage in parallel experimentation to find both the use cases and the right product. Engage early customers to help validate and define the product, ensuring it addresses their needs. Focus on problems applicable across a wide range of industries to have a broad market impact. 10. Building a Platform: Allow customers to create value by building their own apps on your platform. Separate the product from custom services and prioritize building a scalable product. Be open to iterating and adjusting the product based on customer feedback and use cases. 11. Ecosystem Building: Move towards creating an ecosystem by enabling third-party developers to build on the platform. Aim for apps built by one entity to be usable and valuable for another, promoting a broader ecosystem. 12. Early Growth and Funding: Achieved significant growth from $250k to $5 million in a year, gaining investor interest. Raised funding at a $1 billion valuation in 2019 due to perceived strong product-market fit. 13.

For Executive Chef Akshay Bhardwaj, becoming a chef was not always the plan. It took perseverance and a little bit of defiance for him to rise in the ranks and become the Executive Chef of Junoon, which at one time was the only Michelin Star restaurant in New York City serving Indian food. In this episode, you will hear about Akshay's path to cooking, how he approaches collaborations with other chefs, and where he finds inspiration for dishes when traveling.

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?
When used in India, the term Kala pani refers to the cellular jail in Port Blair, where the British colonisers sent a select category of freedom fighters. In the diaspora it refers to the transoceanic migration of indentured labour from India to plantation colonies across the globe from the mid-19th century onwards. Ashutosh Bhardwaj and Judith Misrahi-Barak's book Kala Pani Crossings: Revisiting 19th Century Migrations from India's Perspective (Routledge, 2021) discusses the legacies of indenture in the Caribbean, Reunion, Mauritius, and Fiji, and how they still imbue our present. More importantly, it draws attention to India and raises new questions: doesn't one need, at some stage, to wonder why this forgotten chapter of Indian history needs to be retrieved? How is it that this history is better known outside India than in India itself? What are the advantages of shining a torch onto a history that was made invisible? Why have the tribulations of the old diaspora been swept under the carpet at a time when the successes of the new diaspora have been foregrounded? What do we stand to gain from resurrecting these histories in the early 21st century and from shifting our perspectives? A key volume on Indian diaspora, modern history, indentured labour, and the legacy of indentureship, this co-edited collection of essays examines these questions largely through the frame of important works of literature and cinema, folk songs, and oral tales, making it an artistic enquiry of the past and of the present. It will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of world history, especially labour history, literature, postcolonial studies, cultural studies, diaspora studies, sociology and social anthropology, Indian Ocean studies, and South Asian studies. Dr. Judith Misrahi-Barak teaches at Université de Montpellier 3. Ashutosh Bhardwaj is a journalist, fiction writer and literary critic based in New Delhi. Gargi Binju is a researcher at the University of Tübingen. Learn more about your ad choices.

We know capitalism exacerbates injustice and inequality worldwide. So how can we fix it? Professor and social entrepreneur Manish Bhardwaj thinks we need to integrate "moral clarity" -- which he defines as "doing the right thing because it is right, and not from fear of sanction or in expectation of reward" -- into society at a foundational level. In this practical talk, he explains how to use the language of moral clarity as a compass for organizations, communities and our personal lives -- and how it could help create a more just world.
