In this episode, we get a sneak peek into one of Sarah's newest projects (the BPE) and dissect what Original Grain is doing right…and what they're still missing - more specifically, the killer positioning play they're missing out on! We'll use the BPE to break down: The biggest gap in their brand strategy (and how most brands fall into the same trap). Why "handcrafted" and/or “craftsmanship” isn't a strong enough selling point anymore (and what works instead). How to build a true brand enemy—and why fighting The Disposable Age could make Original Grain unforgettable. Messaging tweaks that instantly make a brand feel bigger, bolder, and more ownable. If you've ever wondered how to take a “good” brand and make it truly category-defining, this episode is a masterclass.

The Nasdaq rose 0.78% to close at a record 18,712.75 points, while the S&P500 rose 0.16%, but the Dow Jones ended the day down 0.36%.Earnings season has driven investor sentiment these last few weeks and we are awaiting key earnings out of the magnificent seven to provide key outlook on the broader market conditions based on earnings growth and forecasts out of the most valuable companies listed on the NYSE. Alphabet, Snap, Reddit and Chipotle are set to release results after the closing bell on Tuesday while Meta and Microsoft will release results on Wednesday US time.Across the European markets overnight, markets closed lower as investors digested key corporate earnings results. The STOXX 600 fell 0.6%, Germany's DAX lost 0.27%, the French CAC dropped 0.61% and, in the UK, the FTSE 100 ended the day down 0.8%. German airline Lufthansa fell 4.7% on Tuesday after reporting a 9% YoY fall in Q3 profit, while HSBC rose 3.3% after the bank released Q3 earnings that beat analysts' estimates and announced it will repurchase up to $3bn in shares.Asia markets closed mostly higher on Tuesday tracking gains on Wall St overnight with Japan's Nikkei rising 0.77% on the back of the Japanese jobless rate falling to 2.4%. Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 0.35% on Tuesday and South Korea's Kospi index ended the day up 0.21%.The ASX started the week slightly higher on Monday and extended gains into Tuesday's session with a rise of 0.34% at the closing bell as consumer discretionary and mining stocks boosted the local index to a second positive finish for the week. Tech stocks also did much of the heavy lifting for the local market yesterday on the back of Wall Street's tech rally overnight.On the retail front, Myer shares came under pressure on Tuesday after the department store giant agreed to acquire Premier Investments' apparel brands including Just Jeans, Dotti and Jay Jays in a deal worth $950m. Premier Investments shares soared 11% on the news. Luxury online fashion retail platform Cettire on the other hand tanked over 14% yesterday after providing the market with a first quarter trading update outlining a 17% margin for the quarter which is down from the 20% recorded in the PCP, and the company's adjusted EBITDA fell 77% to $2m.What to watch today:Ahead of the midweek trading session here in Australia the SPI futures are expecting the ASX to open the day down 0.08%.On the commodities front this morning, oil has steadied following a 6% plunge earlier in the week amid over-supply fears as demand remains resilient and geopolitical tensions and actions were not as impactful as first thought. This morning oil is trading 0.19% lower at US$67.26/barrel, gold is up 0.91% at US$2769.26/ounce and iron ore is down just 0.08% at US$104.15/tonne.The Aussie dollar has further weakened overnight to buy US$0.65, 100.54 Japanese Yen, 50.75 British Pence and NZ$1.10.Trading Ideas:Bell Potter has downgraded Cettire (ASX:CTT) from a buy to a hold and have maintained the 12-month price target on the luxury online fashion retailer at $2/share following the release of the company's 1Q25 update including net revenue rising 22% on the PCP which beat BPe, but lower margins and slowing sales growth leading to a decrease in the rating as headwinds and upcoming promotional periods weigh on earnings growth potential.And Trading Central has identified a bearish signal on Seven Group (ASX:SVW) following the formation of a pattern over a period of 33-days which is roughly the same amount of time the share price may fall from the close of $41.35 to the range of $39.10 to $39.50 according to standard principles of technical analysis.

The city of Long Beach is taking more action in compliance with Gov. Gavin Newsom's urging for the clearing of homeless encampments from state-owned property. Last Monday, Long Beach city officials began clearing people experiencing homelessness at Gumbiner Park. After it was cleared, the park was closed off and fenced in; the goal being to clear public parks and other facilities that often attract people experiencing homelessness. In her 11-page memo to the city on Aug. 12, Deputy City Manager Teresa Chandler says that the city doesn't plan on closing off any other facilities but recurring encampments will result in citations and fines. Last Thursday, Aug. 29 Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Gov. Tim Walz, had their first joint, sit-down, interview. This interview allowed Harris and Walz to further explain the contrasts between themselves and President Biden's viewpoints. Along with that, the Harris-Walz campaign began in Georgia this past week and honed in on areas of the state they believe they can impact the most. Despite global cutbacks on non-essential spending, LEGO has continued to see profits and has begun looking for ways to make production more green. The Danish toy company's essential plastic bricks are currently composed of a mix of renewable materials and ABS plastic, which itself is derived from oil. However; LEGO has announced that by 2032, all new bricks will be made with renewable and recycled materials.

If you see this in time, join our emergency LLM paper club on the Llama 3 paper!For everyone else, join our special AI in Action club on the Latent Space Discord for a special feature with the Cursor cofounders on Composer, their newest coding agent!Today, Meta is officially releasing the largest and most capable open model to date, Llama3-405B, a dense transformer trained on 15T tokens that beats GPT-4 on all major benchmarks:The 8B and 70B models from the April Llama 3 release have also received serious spec bumps, warranting the new label of Llama 3.1.If you are curious about the infra / hardware side, go check out our episode with Soumith Chintala, one of the AI infra leads at Meta. Today we have Thomas Scialom, who led Llama2 and now Llama3 post-training, so we spent most of our time on pre-training (synthetic data, data pipelines, scaling laws, etc) and post-training (RLHF vs instruction tuning, evals, tool calling).Synthetic data is all you needLlama3 was trained on 15T tokens, 7x more than Llama2 and with 4 times as much code and 30 different languages represented. But as Thomas beautifully put it:“My intuition is that the web is full of s**t in terms of text, and training on those tokens is a waste of compute.” “Llama 3 post-training doesn't have any human written answers there basically… It's just leveraging pure synthetic data from Llama 2.”While it is well speculated that the 8B and 70B were "offline distillations" of the 405B, there are a good deal more synthetic data elements to Llama 3.1 than the expected. The paper explicitly calls out:* SFT for Code: 3 approaches for synthetic data for the 405B bootstrapping itself with code execution feedback, programming language translation, and docs backtranslation.* SFT for Math: The Llama 3 paper credits the Let's Verify Step By Step authors, who we interviewed at ICLR:* SFT for Multilinguality: "To collect higher quality human annotations in non-English languages, we train a multilingual expert by branching off the pre-training run and continuing to pre-train on a data mix that consists of 90% multilingualtokens."* SFT for Long Context: "It is largely impractical to get humans to annotate such examples due to the tedious and time-consuming nature of reading lengthy contexts, so we predominantly rely on synthetic data to fill this gap. We use earlier versions of Llama 3 to generate synthetic data based on the key long-context use-cases: (possibly multi-turn) question-answering, summarization for long documents, and reasoning over code repositories, and describe them in greater detail below"* SFT for Tool Use: trained for Brave Search, Wolfram Alpha, and a Python Interpreter (a special new ipython role) for single, nested, parallel, and multiturn function calling.* RLHF: DPO preference data was used extensively on Llama 2 generations. This is something we partially covered in RLHF 201: humans are often better at judging between two options (i.e. which of two poems they prefer) than creating one (writing one from scratch). Similarly, models might not be great at creating text but they can be good at classifying their quality.Last but not least, Llama 3.1 received a license update explicitly allowing its use for synthetic data generation.Llama2 was also used as a classifier for all pre-training data that went into the model. It both labelled it by quality so that bad tokens were removed, but also used type (i.e. science, law, politics) to achieve a balanced data mix. Tokenizer size mattersThe tokens vocab of a model is the collection of all tokens that the model uses. Llama2 had a 34,000 tokens vocab, GPT-4 has 100,000, and 4o went up to 200,000. Llama3 went up 4x to 128,000 tokens. You can find the GPT-4 vocab list on Github.This is something that people gloss over, but there are many reason why a large vocab matters:* More tokens allow it to represent more concepts, and then be better at understanding the nuances.* The larger the tokenizer, the less tokens you need for the same amount of text, extending the perceived context size. In Llama3's case, that's ~30% more text due to the tokenizer upgrade. * With the same amount of compute you can train more knowledge into the model as you need fewer steps.The smaller the model, the larger the impact that the tokenizer size will have on it. You can listen at 55:24 for a deeper explanation.Dense models = 1 Expert MoEsMany people on X asked “why not MoE?”, and Thomas' answer was pretty clever: dense models are just MoEs with 1 expert :)[00:28:06]: I heard that question a lot, different aspects there. Why not MoE in the future? The other thing is, I think a dense model is just one specific variation of the model for an hyperparameter for an MOE with basically one expert. So it's just an hyperparameter we haven't optimized a lot yet, but we have some stuff ongoing and that's an hyperparameter we'll explore in the future.Basically… wait and see!Llama4Meta already started training Llama4 in June, and it sounds like one of the big focuses will be around agents. Thomas was one of the authors behind GAIA (listen to our interview with Thomas in our ICLR recap) and has been working on agent tooling for a while with things like Toolformer. Current models have “a gap of intelligence” when it comes to agentic workflows, as they are unable to plan without the user relying on prompting techniques and loops like ReAct, Chain of Thought, or frameworks like Autogen and Crew. That may be fixed soon?

My name is Christina Prevett. I am one of our lead faculty in our geriatric division and today I am hoping to talk a little bit about urinary incontinence in the older male. A lot of times we focus a lot of our conversations around pelvic health on the female side of the sex spectrum. But today I really want to talk about males. We talk a lot in MMOA, especially in our Level 2 course where we do an entire segment on pelvic health for the older adult. around how every clinician is a pelvic floor clinician. And the reason why we say that is because if you're interacting with hip and low back pain, then you're interacting with the pelvic floor as part of our core canister. And urinary incontinence is a leading cause of institutionalization and a very big reason why some people may not want to engage in the dosage of exercise that they need in order for them to gain the independence that they're hoping to gain. And so we really want to make sure that we are at least doing our due diligence in screening. When we are working with individuals, we wanna know if there's any urinary incontinence on board. And then we wanna talk about what is going on with respect to the male aging pelvis and how that interacts with signs and symptoms like urinary incontinence. So the biggest, biggest, getting bigger area of the male pelvis where there's a lot of conversations around its impact with age is the prostate. So we do know that there is an enlarging of the prostate that occurs with age. And the main roles of the prostate is to create seminal fluid and help with propulsion of ejaculation of that seminal fluid when mixed with the sperm when achieving orgasm. And what we recognize is that as individuals age, there is a growing of the prostate, an enlargement of the prostate that occurs. that is called benign prostatic hyperplasia. Now this is non-cancerous. This is not a malignancy. This is a part of aging physiology in the pelvis. And what we recognize is that there's also a lot of discrepancies of if this is something that we need to worry about or not. So enlargement of the prostate happens in almost every human with a penis. And it can be associated with lower urinary tract symptoms. In the literature, sometimes it's called BPE, benign prostatic enlargement. If it is associated with symptoms, that is not always consistently done, but there is screening that can happen. And then that enlargement, if it does have cancerous tissues in it, now we're thinking prostate cancer and individuals are going for screens for malignancy in the prostate, and then leading to potentially intervention, including radiation and, or radical prostatectomy. And I've done podcast episodes on radical prostatectomy before. When we're thinking about lower urinary tract symptoms, that can include stress urinary incontinence. And oftentimes in males, because of the length of the urethra, the level of incontinence is significantly less than in the female pelvis. So only about 5% of individuals over the age of 65 have incontinence. And usually it is as a consequence of conditions like radical prostatectomy. So it can be radical prostatectomy. Individuals can have pelvic fracture trauma. Some neurodegenerative conditions can also have a urinary condition associated with it. And so usually there's a precipitating event, not always, but most of the time there is some sort of precipitating event that has happened around the pelvis that has led to urinary incontinence. For example, when you have a radical prostatectomy, the prostate is removed. That includes the areas around the external anal sphincter. The urethra is then pulled up to reconnect to the bladder, which can disrupt the pelvic floor, the deep pelvic floor muscles that are responsible for kinking that hose of the urethra in order for a stress urinary incontinence not to occur. And so it makes sense why there's a disruption to that longer urethra can lead to things like stress urinary incontinence. When you have an older adult with stress urinary incontinence, I know it doesn't sound that, that surgery doesn't sound that great, but it is minimally invasive and people do respond pretty well to it, but we have podcast episodes on the, the surgical art of radical frost detective and what we can expect postoperatively. So when we're working with individuals, urinary incontinence is something that we may be managing and we have a big role to play in helping with post-operative or the new development of urinary incontinence. And so when we're thinking about management, we have kind of our conservative buckets, and then we have surgical management. If you are a person who's had a radical prostatectomy, the natural physiology is that many symptoms resolve within a year. So usually we are not doing any follow-up, or your urologist is not doing any follow-up surgical intervention around the pelvis until a year post-operatively with individuals post-radical prostatectomy. But we do have conservative methods that we can use in the shorter term, and hopefully to try and avoid a subsequent surgical management. And so those buckets are pelvic floor muscle training, penile clamps, and surgical intervention. And so the first and go-to knee-jerk reaction is always going to be conservative management, especially if initiated pre-operatively or pre-event, where individuals who are males get an awareness of the pelvic floor system. Because incontinence and pelvic floor issues in the male pelvis are not as common, many times education around the pelvic floor is not as widespread, individuals are not having these conversations as frequently, and then recognizing how to contract and relax the pelvic floor muscles can be something, especially if there is a training effect that we are doing with appropriate dosing, can help with mild to moderate urinary incontinence post pelvic event in the older male. When we are thinking about pelvic floor muscle training, we are trying to cue the pelvis either to stop the flow of urine, or to try and shorten the base of the penis. Those are the two cues that have been shown in research to have the highest EMG activation of the pelvic floor when trying to teach the pelvic floor contraction in an older male, and trying to get a strengthening effect with appropriate dosage. And there's some protocols in the post-radical prostatectomy world that tries to accumulate 20, 30, 40 reps. It's a bit variable, but we wanna make sure that we are getting a training effect based on where individual's baseline status is. initiating pelvic floor muscle training, seeking a pelvic floor physical therapist, or if you're okay with palpating externally, you can go kind of medial to the sits bones and see if there's a contraction of those pelvic floor muscles in the male. If you are a non-internal pelvic floor physical therapist, then you can work on some of that coordination and contraction in individuals who this is a barrier for them going out into the house. So that's kind of our first option. Our second option is a penile clamp. And so if you're aware, in the female pelvic space, we have a device called a pessary, which is inserted intravaginally, and basically what it does is it kinks off the urethra mechanically in order to help reduce symptoms of pelvic floor prolapse, or pelvic organ prolapse, rather, or urinary incontinence. We see this a lot as a conservative management in order to avoid pelvic surgery, We have a similar type of compression device for the male, but obviously there is not an intravaginal hole for our male anatomy and therefore it is placed externally. So what a pelvic clamp is, is It is attached to the mid shaft in a flaccid penis and it has a little bump on the bottom of the device. So there's a compression and on that bottom ridge, it essentially applies the same type of compression as the pessary to the bottom of the male penis in order to avoid incontinence issues. And what we see is that it can significantly reduce the number of pads or reduce the pad test, which is urine coming into a pad in a certain amount of time by weight. and the amount of subjective reports of incontinence. When we are thinking about penile clamps, comfort is going to be one of the biggest concerns where, you know, individuals, I think the last study that I was looking at was like about half of individuals reported that it wasn't really that comfy to be wearing the clamp on the shaft of their penis. It may be because of, you know, making sure that we have proper education or finding the right fit of the clamp, but something for us to be thinking about or, you know, having conversations about with the individual where we may be suggesting this conservative management strategy. And then the second thing that is a really important part for us to be considering is vascular health. We know that a lot of issues around the pelvis, including benign prostatic hyperplasia and erectile dysfunction, have a big vascular health component, aka we're screaming from the rooftops about health promotion, including around the penis. It's just super important for us to consider if individuals have poor perfusion, that even with a small amount of compression, we have to think about vascular health and skin integrity concerns. So trying to figure out who this might be the best individual to be using this type of thing with. Individuals who may really like this option are those who are very adamantly against having surgery or those who are not a candidate for surgery. So here's that double edged sword, right? Where a lot of individuals with high amounts of vascular concerns are going to be individuals who cannot undergo another surgery. They may be the ones that we are thinking about, you know, using this clamp, but we're going to make sure that we take a lot of breaks from wearing it. There was a study that was done out of Japan that was showing that individuals were able to wear it for two to three hours with a 15 minute break. and there was no adverse events to using it. Other studies have talked about doing an hour on, hour off, or using it when trying to do activities around the house. So you're kind of using it for a specific goal or task in standing to try and prevent some of that UI issue from happening. So that's bucket two. So we have our pelvic floor muscle training, We have our conservative penile clamp, and then we have our surgical interventions. And so for the two interventions for our males, we have a urethral sling, which is done through the trans or obturator foramen. And it is essentially a meshing tape that helps to apply resistance to the urethra with or without additional compression, depending on the technique that we are leveraging. in order to help keep the sphincters closed when we want them to be closed. These are indicated for mild to moderate types of urinary incontinence and not usually indicated for more severe cases. When we have individuals with more severe cases, individuals are using an artificial sphincter. So what this is, is it is a device that comes in and essentially creates a clamp with a balloon, or a cuff with a balloon rather, over the urethral opening, not the urethral opening, mid urethra, and your urine starts to accumulate in your bladder. Person's body is going to get the cue that they have to go to the bathroom, and when they go to the bathroom, they release a button in the scrotum that's placed in the scrotum, and it deflates the balloon, allowing the urethra to unkink and for urine to be able to pass through. And then the mechanism goes on a timer. So either it's between 90 seconds and three minutes, depending on the device, and that allows the urethra to be open for that amount of time. And then after that time has elapsed, the cuff closes. Yeah, it's really incredible. Like the technology is really intense. So when you're thinking about who might be indicated for using this artificial sphincter, dexterity and cognition are two big issues in an older male population where we may be thinking about, you know, are they gonna be able to get to the release mechanism on the scrotum? Are they cognitively gonna be able to do the procedure in order for the cuff to deflate? In more severe cases, this is indicated. And there is a fairly severe revision rate. So 20 to 30% will require some sort of mechanical revision, whether the device is kinked, whether there's clogs or hoses, like there is a higher chance of that happening because it's a more, it's a mechanical device, like there are moving parts. And so those parts can break down versus in a sling where you're essentially tacking up that resistance against the urethra. It's something that's a little bit more, doesn't have the same amount of moving parts. So there's a very high success rate for both of these surgeries. Infection rates and things like that tend to be fairly low and it can help to improve sexual function and be able to help individuals achieve better quality of life and physical function and is a good option for individuals who have exhausted their conservative management and have not seen the improvement that they wish to see. So if you are working with these individuals, usually the post-operative instructions are to avoid heavy lifting for six weeks. and then can start returning to moving around. It's not very smooth where individuals can get back to what? That is a conversation for another day. But overall, management can be quite good. So I hope you found that helpful around the way that this is kind of managed from a medical perspective. We can be very helpful in the conservative management piece where it can come along individuals in the post-operative piece or perioperative moment. And it's a thing that we see when we're working with our older adults, right? That we see it in geriatrics. So hopefully that was helpful and kind of fills in some knowledge gaps for you if this is not an area that you practice in all the time. All right. If you want to get all of that information in our UI section, that is in our MMOA level two. So you have to have taken MMOA level one in order to get access to our special populations because we build on a lot of questions. Thank you so much. That's so sweet of you. And we build that into level two. If you are looking to take MMOA live, we are still on the road all summer. It is nice weather, but we are visiting all over the United States. We are in Scottsdale, Arizona, June 1st and 2nd. Spring, Texas, 8th and 9th. We are getting toasty in those places. Let me tell you, I'm not doing those courses. Those are all dusted and jammed. June 22nd, 23rd, we are in Charlotte, North Carolina. And July 13th, 14th, we are in Virginia Beach. So if you are around and you want to take out live content in the summer, we got you covered. Other than that, please have a wonderful week. I hope you all are enjoying your post Memorial Day week and we will see you all next time. Bye.

Hey everyone, this is Alex and can you believe that we're almost done with Q1 2024? March 2024 was kind of crazy of course, so I'm of course excited to see what April brings (besides Weights & Biases conference in SF called Fully Connected, which I encourage you to attend and say Hi to me and the team!) This week we have tons of exciting stuff on the leaderboards, say hello to the new best AI in the world Opus (+ some other surprises), in the open source we had new MoEs (one from Mosaic/Databricks folks, which tops the open source game, one from AI21 called Jamba that shows that a transformers alternative/hybrid can actually scale) and tiny MoE from Alibaba, as well as an incredible Emotion TTS from Hume. I also had the pleasure to finally sit down with friend of the pod Tanishq Abraham and Paul Scotti from MedArc and chatted about MindEye 2, how they teach AI to read minds using diffusion models

The Dow Jones fell 0.25% while the S&P500 added 0.17% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq gained 0.37% on Tuesday. Retail giant Macy's is up more than 3% during the session after announcing it would close around 150 of its struggling bricks and mortar retail stores following a revenue miss in the prior quarter.In Europe overnight, markets closed mixed in the region as investors await key inflation data out later this week to determine how key global economies are faring in the high interest rate environment. The STOXX600 reversed Tuesday's losses to close 0.2% higher, buoyed by mining stocks rising 1.7%. Germany's DAX ended the day up 0.76%, the French CAC rose 0.23%, and, in the UK, the FTSE100 closed the session virtually flat.Across the Asia markets, trading was mixed on Tuesday with Hong Kong's Hang Seng rising just shy of 1% while Korea's KOSPI index fell 0.83% and Japan's Nikkei closed flat. China's CSI 300 index rose 1.2% as shares of Chinese electric vehicle maker Li Auto soared over 22% after the company reported a 2068% increase in net income in Q4 compared to a year ago.The local market recovered from a morning sell-off to close Tuesday's session 0.13% higher as a 2.15% surge in consumer staples stocks more than offset losses among real estate and utilities companies. The materials sector was also weighed down yesterday as the big iron ore miners were sold off on the declining price of iron ore.As the theme goes lately on the local market, reporting season results dominated share market moves yesterday.Supermarket giant Coles rallied yesterday after releasing a strong first half result including a 3.7% jump in sales revenue to $22.2bn, and the outlook for momentum to continue into the second half with sales up 4.9% during the first 8-weeks of the second half already.A stronger-than-expected first half result also prompted investors to send shares in Aussie plumbing parts and services company, Reece, rocketing over 18% yesterday. The company revealed a 2.5% rise in sales revenue, a 6% increase in NPAT and declared an interim dividend of 8cps.Payment service providers like Zip Co and Tyro Payments both posted beats across their respective first half results, however, investors took the opportunity to collect some profits in the days after the results were released as both companies faced turbulence over the last few years during the rising interest rate and uncertain economic environment.What to watch today: Ahead of the local trading session here in Australia, the SPI futures are expecting the ASX to open the midweek session up 0.28% tracking global gains overnight.On the commodities front this morning, oil has rebounded to trade 0.56% higher at US$78.02/barrel, gold is up just 0.06% at US$2032/ounce and iron ore is down 3.24% at US$119.50/tonne.Trading Ideas: Bell Potter has maintained a buy rating on Cooper Energy (ASX:COE) and has slightly increased the 12-month price target from 16cps to 18cps on the release of the energy exploration and development company's first half result including EBITDAX and NPAT topping BPe, while statutory NPAT came in at a loss of $91m. Bell Potter's analyst sees there are promising signs at the company's Orbost Gas processing plant with production continuing to increase at a time of short-term positive catalysts including higher realised gas prices.And Trading Central has identified a bullish signal on GUD Holdings (ASX:GUD) following the formation of a pattern over a period of 8-days which is roughly the same amount of time the share price may rise from the close of $11.14 to the range of $12.30-$12.60 according to standard principles of technical analysis.
