Après une petite pause, Olivier et Emilie retracent le parcours fascinant des trois saisons écoulées, où ils ont eu pour mission de démystifier le métier d'expert-comptable en rencontrant des chefs d'entreprise inspirants et des acteurs du monde associatif.Ils reviennent également sur les différents défis auxquels ils ont dû faire face ces 6 derniers mois : gestion des différents sites du cabinet (Talmont, Rocheservière, les Sables d'Olonne), réorganisation des équipes en interne (turnover, recrutement), journées de cohésion (fin de période fiscale, séminaire), obtention de diplômes, développement de nouvelles offres (aide aux choix automobiles, pôle immobilier, pôle santé), arrivée d'une nouvelle associée.Bien que ces expériences aient parfois chamboulé l'organisation du cabinet, elles ont été formatrices et ont renforcé leur capacité à conseiller les clients sur la gestion et l'expansion d'activités.En fin d'épisode, une annonce importante : un changement de format pour la prochaine saison !

En entrevista para MVS Noticias con Manuel López San Martín, Eduardo Torreblanca, experto en finanzas, habló sobre HR Ratings, se suma a Moodys, también pone en negativa la perspectiva de calificación de México. "Eso demuestra que hay factores que las empresas calificadoras toman en cuenta, y no es que se hayan puesto de acuerdo, sino que finalmente son factores que exigen una revisión de la calificación que hacen de la deuda soberana mexicana", explicó Torreblanca. ¿La economía mexicana en riesgo tras calificaciones negativas? "Vale la pena mencionar que en este caso se trató de la firma HR Ratings, una empresa mexicana reconocida por la CEG y con buen prestigio", apuntó Torreblanca. Para el analista, las calificadoras operan en un sistema similar a una "escalera", donde cada nivel de calificación está vinculado a las condiciones económicas del país o la empresa evaluada. A medida que una nación se acerca a los escalones más altos de esta "escalera", puede ofrecer una menor tasa de interés a los inversionistas debido a su estabilidad financiera.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bienvenue dans ce nouvel épisode ! Aujourd'hui, nous nous penchons sur la prérogative d'exercice sur la tenue comptable, et ses potentielles évolutions. Un sujet délicat. Au CEG, nous cultivons un esprit d'ouverture et d'échanges. Nous nous efforçons d'interroger les grandes tendances actuelles et potentielles de la profession, sans asséner de certitudes. Dans cet épisode, nous recevons pour la 2nd fois Gilles Dauriac, expert-comptable au sein du cabinet ACSE basé à Bordeaux. Il nous livre ses propres clés de lecture sur ce thème. Nous inviterons bientôt un autre intervenant pour nous apporter une lecture complémentaire à la sienne. Avec Gilles, nous nous posons surtout des questions ! Parmi elles : Quelles sont les origines de cette prérogative ? Comment peut-on lire l'arrêt de la Cour de Cassation d'octobre 2022 qui interdit toute sous-traitance sur la tenue à un professionnel non inscrit ? Quelles sont les “forces en présence” dans ce débat ? Quels sont les impacts des évolutions technologiques et de l'arrivée de la facture électronique sur ce sujet de la tenue ? Dans quelles directions cette prérogative sur la tenue pourrait-elle évoluer ? Autant de questions que nous posons, avec humilité, et sans forcément apporter de réponses fermes. Nous espérons que cette discussion vous plaira ! Bonne écoute.

Today's episode concludes our 9-part “What Colleges Want” series, where we've been walking through the results of the report released by the National Association of College Admission Counselors (NACAC) regarding the factors that colleges deem important. Ethan is joined by Jay Rosner (Executive Director of The Princeton Review Foundation) to talk about standardized testing. In this episode they get into: What are the origins of the SAT? What's changed in the testing landscape in the last year or two? Does test optional really mean test optional? How much standardized tests matter for colleges? How do students figure out their preparation timeline and which test to take? Why might testing be considered problematic? As the Executive Director of The Princeton Review Foundation, Jay Rosner has developed programs jointly with such organizations as the NAACP, the Hispanic Scholarship Fund, College and Graduate Horizons (serving Native American students) and the Asian Pacific Fund. Jay's career has combined education and law, with an emphasis on student advocacy. He has testified before state legislative committees in California, Texas, Illinois and New Jersey, and as an expert witness in cases involving testing. Before attending law school, Jay was a public high school math teacher. Jay holds a BA from the University of Pennsylvania, a JD from Widener University, and is the proud father of two grown daughters. Hope you enjoy!

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: Forecasting future gains due to post-training enhancements, published by elifland on March 8, 2024 on The AI Alignment Forum. This work has been done in the context of SaferAI's work on risk assessment. Equal contribution by Eli and Joel. I'm sharing this writeup in the form of a Google Doc and reproducing the summary below. Disclaimer: this writeup is context for upcoming experiments, not complete work. As such it contains a lot of (not always well-justified) guess-work and untidy conceptual choices. We are publishing now despite this to get feedback. If you are interested in this work - perhaps as a future collaborator or funder, or because this work could provide helpful input into e.g. risk assessments or RSPs - please get in touch with us at joel@qallys.com and/or simeon@safer-ai.org. Summary A recent report documented how the performance of AI models can be improved after training, via post-training enhancements (PTEs) such as external tools, scaffolding, and fine-tuning. The gain from a PTE is measured in compute-equivalent gains (CEG): the multiplier on training compute required to achieve equivalent performance to a model combined with a PTE. We are interested in understanding the contribution that PTEs make to AI system capabilities over time. This question in turn is motivated by SaferAI's work on quantitative risk assessments of frontier models. In particular, any risk assessment of open-sourcing models or of having closed-source models stolen or leaked should take into account system capabilities, which we might expect to increase over time as PTEs are added to the system built on top of a given base model. We extend a recent analysis of PTEs in order to understand the trend in CEG over time. There are serious limitations in our preliminary analysis, including: problems with the CEG metric, many uninformed parameter estimates, and reliance on an ill-defined "average task". High-priority future work includes running experiments to get more evidence on important uncertainties for our forecasts of capability gains due to PTEs. In particular, we think it will be important to understand how well different PTEs combine, as well as to directly study performance on benchmarks relevant to dangerous capabilities rather than relying on the CEG and average task abstractions. In this write-up, we will: Outline our methodology. ( More.) Present CEG estimates for various PTEs. ( More.) Aggregate total CEG, using subjective estimates of 'composability.' ( More.) Note limitations of our analysis and important future work. ( More.) Thanks for listening. To help us out with The Nonlinear Library or to learn more, please visit nonlinear.org.
Three Things I Learned In SaaS, Sports, Tech & Live Events Podcast
Three Things I Learned in SaaS, Sports, Tech, & Live Events Super Bowl Edition: Week 2 Las Vegas' debut as a Super Bowl host was a wild success. It was easy to get around, there was an abundance of rooms and entertainment venues, and even the game was easy to get in and out of. Three Things I Learned from the first Las Vegas Super Bowl: 1. Las Vegas will enter the new regular rotation. In the old days, the Super Bowl regular rotation was (with number of Super Bowls hosted): Miami (11), Southern California (11), New Orleans (10), Tampa (5), Phoenix (4) Recently, the NFL has awarded Super Bowls to the rotation cities and to cities with new stadiums. Las Vegas fell under the "new stadium" classification but, given the way the city hosted the game, the strength of the market, and the city's ability to handle inclement weather, there's no doubt Las Vegas will be in the rotation once a decade going forward. From the looks of things, the rotation will be (from West to East): San Francisco, Southern California, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Houston, New Orleans, Atlanta, Tampa and Miami 2. I failed at my promise The first years of TicketManager (then known as CEG and Spotlight) were very rough. We were broke, working every waking hour, and weary. I played golf one day with a an older pseudo family member who was about to pull away from his business and enjoy retirement. I remember the conversation vividly. He felt so guilty doing the things he'd earned - like playing golf and working a (gasp) eight hour day for a change. I was adamant in my response and feelings that I'd never feel guilty if we got through the dark times. And boy were they dark. All weekend in Vegas my better half noticed I looked detached and like I wasn't enjoying the incredible access we had with customers and partners. I turned down dinner invites and passed on access and invitations to others. Truth is: I felt really guilty. At our wind-down dinner on Sunday after the game, our VP Sales was clearly exhausted. I mentioned to my wife that "I hope he gets everything he deserves. He works so hard and cares so much." I hadn't seen him all week. She stopped me in my tracks when she responded: "You do too. And don't forget it." After dinner I was talking to an entrepreneur friend. I asked him if he was taking Monday off. "No" he responded "there's not point in it. It just delays the work I need to do anyways." Me neither. So many think being an entrepreneur ends with half-days and freedom. It doesn't. Freedom has fangs. And the to-do list never stops. I thought I'd be able to enjoy the fruits at some point. I now know that's not part of the game…and I don't want it to be. 3. When we work the event, we aren't part of the event. Last week I got to go to the Grammys, the Super Bowl, and the events around them. One thing stands out to me as strange: When the people who work the event post as if they're attending the event. It's strange to me. We're the servants of the event. We weren't invited to have the fun. It happens at every Grammys and Super Bowl party. Very strange.

Renee began her career more than 30 years ago, first as a public-school counselor and more recently as the Director of College Counseling at The O'Neal School.

On the episode you'll hear Tom and Renee discuss: The myths and realities of going to college in The South Admissions trends at Southern flagship public universities How to make studying in The South more affordable, including special scholarship opportunities Hidden gems and unique, specialized programs that you may not have heard of before Our hope is that, for students and families, spotlighting some of these “little things” about studying in the South will help you see that there may even be bigger things in store for you there than you originally anticipated… beyond BBQ.

The College Essay Guy Podcast: A Practical Guide to College Admissions
On today's episode I got to sit down with Rick Diaz, the Regional Director of Admission for Southern Methodist University (SMU) and someone I've known for more than 15 years. We have a pretty wide ranging discussion that covers: A behind-the-scenes look at how SMU reads applications and how they shape a class—and what that even means Then we dive into supplemental essays — in particular the impacts of the Supreme Court's decision to ban race-conscious admission — and how that decision has led to a large number of selective schools changing or adding new supplemental essay prompts. We nerd out on Rick's favorite supplemental essay—the “Why us” essay—talk a little about college majors and then—I think, Rick maybe has a little a-ha moment about when his interest in his own college major began We play a little game I made up on the chat called “What do students get wrong about…” And finally we discuss dos and don'ts for making a connection with your regional admission officers including (spoiler alert) why you maybe shouldn't show up at their house with a box of their favorite cookies… unless you kinda' want to freak them out a little? I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. Play-by-play 0:00 - Welcome to the podcast 01:32 - Who is Rick Diaz? 02:35 - What's Rick's role at Southern Methodist University (SMU)? 06:04 - How does SMU read applications? 08:44 - How long does Rick spend on reading an application? 10:42 - What are institutional priorities and how do they shape decisions in a college? 13:05 - What is the relationship between supplemental essays and institutional priorities? 16:29 - What are colleges looking for when their supplemental question is “Why us?” 17:21 - This year's supplemental prompts at SMU 18:14 - Should you talk about your diversity in your college essays? 21:01 - An exercise in diversity 23:32 - What are colleges thinking about right now surrounding supplemental essays? 25:55 - Rick reacts to supplemental prompts from other schools 26:07 - Rick reacts to a prompt about being different 27:34 - Rick reacts to a prompt about your identity and goals 29:41 - How did Rick figure out his major in college? 32:46 - What is demonstrated interest and how important is it? 38:16 - Why do colleges care who is more likely to enroll? 40:25 - Do's and Don't's of reaching out to your admissions officer 43:01 - What students get wrong about admissions 43:14 - How important are extracurriculars & summer planning? 44:41 - What about the personal statement? 47:03 - Is it true that the personal statement or supplemental essay can impact some students more than others? 49:00 - What about Standardized testing? 51:00 - What Rick loves about this work 52:41 - What should families keep in mind during this process? 57:07 - Wrap-up and additional resources Resources The “If You Really, Really Knew Me” Exercise (Template) This practical, comprehensive exercise helps students generate a list of identities, skills, qualities, and skills they can share with colleges.

The College Essay Guy Podcast: A Practical Guide to College Admissions
In today's episode, Tom Campbell (CEG's Community Manager) and Susan Tree (a college counseling and admissions legend with 40+ years of experience) chat about all things related to the academic part of a student's college application— which, at many selective colleges, is seen as the “foot in the door” of their selection process. This is part 1 of a series we'll be doing around students' academic background and interests and how they factor into the admissions process. Part 2 is all about “intellectual curiosity”: a quality that many colleges actively look for in students, yet is a little more ambiguous and nuanced compared to mapping out a high school course plan. On the episode you'll hear Susan and Tom discuss: Why taking five solid academic courses (English, math, social studies, science and language) each year of high school gives students the broadest range of exciting college options How advanced course rigor (including Advanced Placement/AP and International Baccalaureate/IB courses) is evaluated by colleges The potential danger of “overspecialization” in an academic subject too early The value of demonstrating self-directedness in your academic journey— and where do to that in an application How admissions officers evaluate and contextualize your transcript and high scho0l profile when making admissions decisions1 Why these episodes? According to the 2018-2019 National Association for College Admission Counseling's Admission Trend Survey, students' grades and strength of curriculum are the top two application components that are of “considerable importance” to colleges During CEG's Applying to Highly Selective Colleges & Universities Course, the section on academics received the most questions out of all other application components— and elicited the most confusion! While we aren't able to give all students and families who come to us for support individualized guidance about their particular high school (though we do offer comprehensive college counseling at CEG!), we wanted this podcast to provide the most comprehensive advice possible around academic choices Play-by-play 5:33 - So… Why are we talking about planning your HS Academic Journey? 8:28 - What are the benefits of planning your HS experience early? 10:39 - What do colleges expect from students? 11:08 - How do you check a college website for their required HS coursework? 12:48 - How is it different at more competitive universities? 13:14 - What if your HS doesn't offer opportunities for the classes you want to take? 14:44 - What is the value of self-directedness? 15:06 - How do I better understand how my school is viewed by admissions officers? 17:19 - What do admissions officers want to know about the school as it relates to your academic record? 19:24 - Why you should be looking at your transcript and school profile side-by-side 21:32 - Thinking like an admissions reader 22:26 - Transcripts vs. report cards 23:38 - How being aware of what colleges have access to can help you be strategic 25:44 - How do you put your academic experience into perspective? 27:18 - What students often don't realize about their application evaluation 29:50 - How important is it to tell your own story 31:28 - HS Counselor Tip: Your School Profile 32:56 - AP (Advanced Placement) course considerations 35:11 - How will colleges view XYZ courses? Which course is better? 42:24 - Why are some independent schools getting rid of AP (Advanced Placement) course offerings? 44:00 What does Susan think about IB (International Baccalaureate) Curriculum considerations? 47:50 What if my high school doesn't offer AP or IB course options? 49:58 Key Takeaways from Today's Episode

On this episode I chat with Angel Perez to discuss his personal journey with burnout, self-care, and therapy, and I even share some of my own personal journey — and we connect on what it might mean to find more ease, purpose, and joy in our own lives. This is part 1 of a series I'll be doing on self-care this year. You'll notice Angel mentions a morning routine — in part 2 you'll meet wellness coach Sage Simpson, who will get into the practical specifics of how to create a morning routine for yourself. On the episode you'll hear Angel and I discuss: Angel's personal experience with burnout How did he address it in writing an article on self-care in college admissions Why self-care is especially important for caretakers and professionals in helping roles Strategies and techniques Angel (and Ethan) use for self care Ways to address shame, and why therapy has been important for Angel What to look forward to at NACAC 2023 Why these episodes? Self-care has become a bigger theme at CEG in the past couple of years, particularly coming out of the pandemic—and in my own life. Anxiety and depression are at an all-time high in students, while counselors, leaders, and educators are burning out and switching jobs (Chronicle of Higher Ed reported on a study by the College and University Professional Association for Human Resources, or CUPA-HR” noting that 71 percent of coordinators and counselors in the college admissions field have been in their jobs for just three years or less. Resources: Blog post Angel wrote: One CEO's Story of Executive Burnout Play-by-play: [00:00] Intro [2:34] Who is Angel Perez? (Spoiler: he's awesome) [4:44] What led Angel back towards self-care in recent years? [8:10] How did Angel's childhood affect his work life today? [10:15] What inspired Angel's article on burnout?

[15:36] What is Angel's morning routine? [19:00] How to deal with the shame that comes with self-care [21:39] What have Angel (and Ethan) learned in therapy? [26:40] Finding balance vs. coming into balance [28:50] What are some of Angel's & Ethan's other self-care and health practices? [32:45] What helps Angel and Ethan get into flow? [39:35] What is NACAC and the college admission field doing well, and what could we do better (in regards to self-care, rest, work culture, etc.)? [43:45] What is NACAC committed to? What should we look forward to at this year's conference? [46:35] What are we committed to (in regards to increasing access to self-care in our personal/work lives)?

For e.g $MTTR I hold 1500 Instagram Hey Gary. I'm listening to pod now and I'm curious if you could give opinion on $osk, algo has in at 86.83 and it's at 88ish currently Twitter So I emailed you about $VKTX. I think this one could go to 16.

Here are my questions, specifically speaking to $boil and $KOLD, $Soxl and $Soxs and finally $TQQQ and $SQQQ. If I am correct these inherently depreciate in value over time so what is a good indicator that it has moved to a lower price channel? Specifically, how many times of breaking the lower resistance level would you say indicates it's in a new price channel? If something dips for a day comes back up to normal price channel levels, I realize that can just be an anomaly. Secondly, when are these specific etfs thought to completely die off?
