Current “unlearning” methods only suppress capabilities instead of truly unlearning the capabilities. But if you distill an unlearned model into a randomly initialized model, the resulting network is actually robust to relearning. We show why this works, how well it works, and how to trade off compute for robustness.Unlearn-and-Distill applies unlearning to a bad behavior and then distills the unlearned model into a new model. Distillation makes it way harder to retrain the new model to do the bad thing. Produced as part of the ML Alignment & Theory Scholars Program in the winter 2024–25 cohort of the shard theory stream.

This weeks guest is Katie Black. Born in Austin, Texas, and raised between live music and livestock shows, Katie wrapped up high school in Wichita Falls, a town where ambition has to shout over Friday night football. Katie originally headed to New Jersey on a film and theatre scholarship, clearly chasing a dramatic plot twist, but ended up studying dental assisting instead. Then came Germany—where instead of finding herself, Katie found gastronomy, a word she barely knew but now lives by. Since then, she's racked up more beverage certifications than most sommeliers have opinions, including an A.A.S. in Brewing, Distillation, and Fermentation and enough lab hours to clone a hop. Her career? Think if Anthony Bourdain and Boba Fett had a baby who freelanced. Katie's brewed wild beers, managed cider taprooms, distilled bittersweet amaro, and built full bar programs from scratch. In Texas, she's worked everything from tequila fueled ACL activations to high-speed Formula 1 service—wrangling crowds, menus, and bartenders like a rodeo queen of spirits. Katie recently competed on Moonshiners: Master Distiller, and is now diving into brand advocacy, education, and throwing events that actually make people care about what's in their glass. @probablykb A big thank you to Jean-Marc Dykes of Imbiblia for setting up our new website theindustrypodcast.club.

How does oak aging change wine and whisky flavour, colour and texture? What do glass, gears, and automatons have to do with the invention of distillation? Why is yeast such an essential tool in scientific research and wine production, especially in the face of climate change? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Adam Rogers, author of the New York Times bestseller Proof: The Science of Booze. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks   Giveaway One of you is going to win a copy of his terrific new book, Full Spectrum: How the Science of Color Made Us Modern. To qualify, all you have to do is email me at natalie@nataliemaclean.com and let me know that you've posted a review of the podcast. I'll choose one person randomly from those who contact me. Good luck!   Highlights What are some of the traits that new yeasts are being developed for? Why does sugar deserve the title of most important molecule in the world? How is human saliva used in the production of Chicha, one of the oldest types of alcoholic beverage? What is microbial terroir and how does it affect the flavour profile of fermented drinks? Why does Adam describe distillation as the apotheosis of human life on Earth? How does the process of distillation work? What is the most important thing we can learn from the alchemists? Is the shape of a distillation still important to the process? What's happening to spirits while they're aging in barrels? Have there been successful innovations to age wine and spirits more quickly? Why do some people lose their sense of smell after a concussion?   Key Takeaways When you're drinking whisky, and it's that beautiful amber color, that's all from the wood. It's completely clear when it goes into a barrel and it's brown when it comes out. So color is part of what changes, and all those flavours. In the process of aging, as the temperature goes up and down, the pores in the wood open and close. As they open, the liquid gets drawn into that layer inside of the wood, and then gets pushed back out. So there's this kind of back-and-forth process, which is why so many of the experimental attempts to accelerate the aging process use heat to try to cycle it faster. Distillation was developed in the first two to 300 years of the Common Era. People were starting to transform naturally occurring phenomena into a technology that could exist in a temple or in the home. Distillation is one of those technologies, along with a lot of automatons and the simple machines, gears, screws and the steam engines. Yeasts are a workhorse organism in laboratories because it's very easy to change their traits and genetics. They share DNA with each other, and when they grow, they mutate very quickly. Generation to generation change. So you can use classic animal or microbial husbandry techniques to change them as well. This can become especially important as climate change changes the regions that are important to wine.   About Adam Rogers Adam Rogers is a senior correspondent at Business Insider, where he writes about technology, culture, and the ways they overlap. Prior to joining BI, Adam was a longtime editor and writer at WIRED, where his article “The Science of Why No One Agrees on the Color of This Dress” was the second-most-read thing on the entire internet in 2015. Adam's WIRED feature story on a mysterious fungus that grows on whisky warehouses won a AAAS/Kavli science journalism award — and led to his 2014 New York Times bestseller Proof: The Science of Booze.

Don't get your hopes up just yet, but Rabbi Yehoshua Domosh, a trained Kashrus professional, takes us through some fascinating halachic analysis (Responsa of Rivash, no. 255) about why distilled alcoholic beverages might not be so bad afterall - and also why an innocuous, unflavored seltzer may indeed have some potential issues bubbling just under the surface....

First and foremost, when claims are made about expenses by USAID or any federal agency of the US government, you can research for yourself at usaspending.gov. This is a great tool that is as close to absolute transparency in government as the USA has ever had. In the (literal) days since I recorded this episode (February 17, 2025), President Trump has signed an executive order that requires “radical transparency” of all government offices. In that very order, he highlights as an example of “how the federal government has wasted [our] hard-earned wages” this item:Numerous USAID grants have come under review, including $1.5 million to “advance diversity equity and inclusion in Serbia's workplaces and business communities.”But he doesn't share the Prime Award ID number or the recipient of that award. So you're left to dig into that yourself. If you believe there should be “radical transparency” in the government, ask for those items so you can see, for yourself, that this claim is true. Or just go digging and try to find evidence of this claim. Or any of the others in that executive order or the many posts the president or Elon Musk have made.Now … to watch the beautiful sermon from Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde — a wonderful call for mercy — click here.To read the transcript of the bishop's interview with “All Things Considered,” click here.While I don't believe I actually mentioned it in the episode, even as an apathetic agnostic, I'd still encourage everyone to read the letter that Pope Francis sent to the USA.To read how the first Trump administration launched the Women's Global Development and Prosperity Initiative, click here.

Badmotivatorbarrels.com/shop/?aff=3 https://www.instagram.com/zsmithwhiskeyandmixology?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== Hinterhausdistilling.com Texaswhiskeyfestival.com Liquor.com / Sarah Maiden Without distillation, liquor couldn't exist. Distillation is the process by which the alcohol present in a fermented liquid is separated and then concentrated. It's done by heating the liquid and then cooling the vapors, condensing them into a highly alcoholic spirit. This all works because ethanol evaporates at a lower temperature than water.  The device used in this process is called a still. Over the centuries, stills have evolved from rudimentary fire-heated pots to towering, industrial machinery. To make liquor today, distilleries primarily use two different types of stills: pot stills and column stills. These two methods of distillation operate based on the same fundamental principles but produce spirits with noticeably different qualities.  Here's everything you need to know about pot stills vs. column stills. • Pot stills are large pot-shaped stills that are usually made of copper and distill spirits on a batch-by-batch basis. • Column stills include at least one tall cylindrical column. They can be operated continuously and produce spirits more efficiently. • Generally speaking, pot stills create richer and more flavorful spirits while column stills are preferred for more neutral spirits. Liquor.com / Laura Sant What Is a Pot Still? The oldest and most straightforward method of distilling a spirit is batch distillation, more commonly known as pot distillation. This style of distilling uses a large pot-shaped still to produce a spirit. Pot stills are usually made of copper and have a very wide base that tapers vertically into a thin neck. These stills are filled with a fermented alcoholic liquid that is derived from an agricultural product like grain, sugar cane, or fruit. This low-ABV liquid, known as the wash, is then heated. “Alcohol and other volatiles that boil at temperatures lower than water can be removed when heated to near boiling,” explains Dr. Pat Heist, chief scientific officer and co-founder of Wilderness Trail Distillery.  “It is the distiller's control of [the] heating and condensing process that allows for the development of a desired flavor profile.” –Chris Morris, master distiller emeritus at Old Forester and Woodford Reserve  The vapors that emerge from the pot as the liquid heats up are collected, then cooled and condensed into a distillate right off the pot. They can also be further processed through a series of rectifying plates that result in higher proofs, and the distillate is often distilled a second time to achieve the desired concentration of alcohol. “It is the distiller's control of that heating and condensing process that allows for the development of a desired flavor profile,” says Chris Morris, master distiller emeritus at Old Forester and Woodford Reserve. Pot distillation isn't the most efficient way to create alcohol, mainly because it operates on a batch-by-batch process. “A pot still is filled, heated, emptied, and then filled again,” says Morris. Despite their inefficiency, pot stills produce spirits that are often renowned for their rich flavors and aromas.
