Hyung also guesses what the so-called biggest product announcement could be that Fanatics promises to deliver. Then they get into Hobby Headlines where they discuss Tik Tok's ban on breakers livestreaming on its platform and whether other social media platforms could follow suit. They also talk about whether more regulation is needed in the breaking space as well as offer advice on how to improve the whole breaking experience so hobbyists old and new can both enjoy it responsibly. The guys then play Buy/Sell/Hold on sports cards featuring players that have been in the news recently (including Ja Morant, Zion Williamson, Kevin Durant, and Derek Carr) and whether that news has changed any of their minds when it comes to buying, selling, or holding their respective cards. Lastly, they finish the show off with the regular "Pick One" segment where each host names two cards or sets, and then debate which one they would rather invest in. The pairs chosen this week include: Shohei Ohtani 2017 Bowman Chrome Mega Box Chrome (WBC Japan) vs. Shohei Ohtani 2018 Topps Heritage Chrome refractor /569; Connor McDavid SP Authentic Future Watch Autograph Card vs. Wayne Gretzky OPC Rookie Card (PSA 8.5); Tom Brady 2000 Playoff Contenders Rookie Autograph Card (BGS 8.5) vs. Julio Rodriguez Topps Cosmic Chrome Autograph Superfractor (PSA 9). -------------------------------- CONNECT WITH US!

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: ML Safety Scholars Summer 2022 Retrospective, published by ThomasW on November 1, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. TLDR This is a report on the Machine Learning Safety Scholars program, organized over the summer by the Center for AI Safety. 63 students graduated from MLSS: the list of graduates and final projects is here. The program was intense, time-consuming, and at times very difficult, so graduation from the program is a significant accomplishment. Overall, I think the program went quite well and that many students have noticeably accelerated their AI safety careers. There are certainly many areas of improvement that could be made for a future iteration, and many are detailed here. We plan to conduct followup surveys to determine the longer-run effects of the program. This post contains three main sections: This TLDR, which is meant for people who just want to know what this document is and see our graduates list. The executive summary, which includes a high-level overview of MLSS. This might be of interest to students considering doing MLSS in the future or anyone else interested in MLSS. The full report, which was mainly written for future MLSS organizers, but I'm publishing here because it might be useful to others running similar programs. The report was written by Thomas Woodside, the project manager for MLSS. “I” refers to Thomas, and does not necessarily represent the opinion of the Center for AI Safety, its CEO Dan Hendrycks, or any of our funders. Visual Executive Summary MLSS Overview MLSS was a summer program for mostly undergraduate students aimed to teach the foundations of machine learning, deep learning, and ML safety. The program ended up being ten weeks long and included an optional final project. It incorporated office hours, discussion sections, speaker events, conceptual readings, paper readings, written assignments, and programming assignments. You can see our full curriculum here. Survey Results All MLSS graduates filled out an anonymous survey. What follows is a mostly visual depiction of the program through the lens of these survey results. Overall Experience in MLSS Of course, this sample is biased towards graduates of MLSS, since we required them to complete the survey to receive their final stipends (and non graduates didn't get final stipends). However, it seems clear from the way that people responded to this survey that the majority had quite positive opinions of our program. We also asked students about their future plans: The results suggest that many students are actively trying to work in AI safety and that their participation in MLSS helped them become more confident in that choice. MLSS did decrease some students' desire to research AI safety. We do not think this is necessarily a bad thing, as many students were using MLSS to test fit; presumably, some are not great fits for AI safety research but might be able to contribute in some other way. We asked students about why they chose to do the program: We conclude that the stipend was extremely useful to students, and allowed many students to complete the program who wouldn't have otherwise been able to. Nearly all graduates said they were interested in learning about ML safety in particular. We asked students about the quality of the support from their TAs: We asked students a few questions about what they thought about AI x-risk: Lastly, we asked how many hours students spent in the course: Concluding Thoughts To a large extent, we think these results speak for themselves. Students said they got a lot out of MLSS, and I believe many of them are very interested in pursuing AI safety careers that have been accelerated by the program. The real test of our program, of course, will come when we survey students in the future to see what they are doing and how the course helped...

Episode 12 of the podcast is a short but important show with an actionable message. We're going to be talking about the importance of tracking our menopause journey, from a health perspective and a growth mindset perspective. The fact is, by keeping track of our physical and emotional symptoms, as well as our evolving state of mind through this transition process, a woman can really improve and optimize her perimenopause experience. On the show, not only will I be sharing three key reasons why you should be tracking all aspects of your menopause journey, but I'll also offer some tips and techniques on how you can keep track as well.  Links from the Show If you're interested in investigating some of the new perimenopause apps that were designed to help women keep track of their perimenopause symptoms, here are a few: (Note: I have not tried any of these apps and my listing them here is not an endorsement.

Hey Weight Loss Nation! www.TheWeightLossNation.com I recently visited "Key West" with my Friends Christy Haussler & Allison Willwood of Team Podcast. Team Podcast They took me all over "The Keys."  I went to some great restaurants and did some great activities. I'll be telling you about them in upcoming episodes. Today, I'm going to tell you about the Famous "Sloppy Joe's" in Key West. Sloppy Joe’s – Key West 201 Duval Street, Key West, FL 33040                             corner of Greene St since 1939                                         (305) 294-5717  Hours Daily 9:00 – 4:00am Sunday 12:00 – 4:00am   History Sometimes it’s difficult to imagine that the United States went through a period of time, when Alcohol was “prohibited” and illegal. That period of time, from January 16, 1920 (when the 18th Amendment, which banned the manufacture, transportation and sale of intoxicating liquor went into effect) until the ratification of the 21st Amendment (The Gov’t had to write another amendment to repeal the 18th Amendment) went into effect on December 5, 1933. On that same day, December 5, 1933, became the “Official beginning” of the famous Sloppy Joe’s in Key West. Joe Russell, became a legitimate saloon owner of the “Blind Pig” which served alcohol to the Key West community. The saloon changed it’s name to the “Silver Slipper,” with the addition of a Dance Floor, but that didn’t matter to the regulars who enjoyed good friends, gambling and fifteen cent whiskeys. It was Ernest Hemmingway, the famous American novelist, and patron of Russell’s bar from the start…..who encouraged Russell to change the name of the bar to “Sloppy Joe’s” Sloppy Joe’s was adopted from Jose Garcia Rio’s “Havana Club” which sold liquor and iced seafood. Because the floor was always WET with melted ice, the patrons would tease Jose….known as the American Name of  “Joe” with running a “Sloppy Place.” The  name ….”Sloppy Joe” stuck. Joe Russell migrated “Sloppy Joe’s” down the street to the now famous “201 Duval Street” on May 5, 1937, when his rent was raised to $4.00 a week from $3.00 a week and he refused to pay the rent increase. Joe Russell bought the building for $2,500. Hemmingway was a good friend of Joe Russell’s and was a frequent patron at Sloppy Joe’s until he left Key West in 1939. Today, Sloppy Joe’s operates very similar to the come-as-you-are attitude Joe Russell branded back in 1933. The restaurant, entertainment and retail divisions, compliment each other and serve the Key west community 365 days a year. You’ll find the Restaurant serves All-American favorites, with a touch of Caribbean flare. The menu is mainly comprised of Burgers, Sandwiches and Salads. “Sloppy Joe’s” is a “Favorite” Tourist attraction. The food choices in this restaurant are going to be fan-favorite “Pub Food” with daily specials. For “Healthy” eating, I have a couple of recommendations. For Salads…I would have either the “House Salad” or “Greek Salad.” Or…..I would order the grilled or blackened Chicken or Fish Sandwich and tell your waiter/waitress to “skip” the bread. The House Salad is made with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, cheddar & jack cheese and croutons. Tell your waiter or waitress to “skip” the croutons and add some “grilled” chicken or fish. You’ll pay $3 - $4 extra for the added meat. They have Balsamic Vinaigrette or Italian dressing as the “healthier” than the other salad dressing choices. Ask for your dressing on the side. The “Greek Salad” comes with Fresh Greens with a hard boiled egg, black olives, tomatoes, artichoke hearts, red onion, roasted red peppers, pepperoncini and Feta Cheese with a Greek Vinaigrette Dressing. $11.95 For this review….I had……the Peel & Eat “Key West Pink Shrimp” OMG!!! Steamed in beer & served chilled ½ lb $9.95 you get 4-5 shrimp  1lb $17.25 you get  8-10 shrimp I had the ½ pound……and I’m telling you…..Key West Pink Shrimp is the BEST Shrimp I’ve ever had! Then……my guests and I shared the famous Original “Sloppy Joe Sandwich.” Ground beef in a sweet, tomato sauce, with onions, peppers & spices.  $9.95 I had “One Bite” of the infamous sandwich…..and it took me right back to my childhood. I remember having sloppy Joe’s A LOT! Who remembers having Sloppy Joe’s as a kid? Well….Sloppy Joe’s in Key West has it down pat. Not a “Healthy” choice at all with all the sugar in their sauce and the white bun…..but….hey.. you have to have one bite…..so you can say, “I’ve eaten at the original Sloppy Joe’s in Key West.” Finally…..I had some of the “Mojo Pulled Pork Taco.” You get 3 corn or flour tortillas, filled with mojo pulled pork, grilled onions, served with Black Bean Sauce & Lime $10.50 How do you make a Mojo Pulled Pork Taco Healthy? Open the tortilla and scrape the pork, beans & onions onto you plate THEN……eat it with your Fork! You don’t need the tortillas! You do have to enjoy yourself on vacation! It’s all about using your brain Nation! You HAVE to LOOK at Menus BEFORE you walk into a restaurant…..ESPECIALLY when you are going to eat at a FAMOUS place like “Sloppy Joe’s” in Key West! You MUST stay FOCUSED! Be MINDFUL! You’re listening to some good bands, having a good time with friends or family……..It is EASY to get caught up in the moment and start eating food that’s right in front of you….like French Fries……Chips & Salsa….you know what I mean. Stay Focused and Order the House or Greek Salad with grilled chicken or fish. It will Fill you up and you’ll be eating Healthy AND you’ll have a good time! The ENTERTAINMENT is top notch at Sloppy Joe’s. Bands from all over play at Sloppy Joe’s from noon till late into the morning. I had the pleasure of listening to “for Pete’s Sake” who played some good covers, like “Hotel California” which is one of my favorites! You can check out the Entertainment calendar on Sloppy Joe’s Website. https://goo.gl/qfPFNP They have an Annual “Hemmingway Look Alike” Contest, where white bearded men come from all over the world to honor our beloved author’s birthday. This year, the 38th Annual contest runs from July  19 – July 22nd They will even have representatives from the Hemmingway look-alike society on hand, to sign up new members. The website is  www.papalookalikes.com    The retail store has lots of “Sloppy Joe” merchandise. You can buy Tee Shirts, Glassware, Party Supplies and other Souvenirs. Check out the online store. I have the link for you.  https://store.sloppyjoes.com/   Time to Rate Sloppy Joe’s!   Remember…..1 Avocado means the Restaurant was “Ehhh”…..so it was “Fair.” 2 Avocados means the restaurant was “Good” just not Awesome. It was missing the mark on the service provided or the atmosphere, not enough healthy foods….  and finally….. “3”  Avocados means you are going to have a “GREAT” Restaurant Experience. You’ll have Great Food with Healthy options, Great Service and a Great Atmosphere. In other words…..Go THERE! For my “Overall Experience,” I give Sloppy Joe’s 2 Avocados!! The atmosphere is fantastic. The entertainment is fantastic! The only reason I can’t give Sloppy Joe’s a BIG 3 Avocados…is….because…..they simply don’t have enough “Healthy Options” on their Menu. You can have salad or grilled chicken or grilled fish taco. The Key West Shrimp is great too….but I can go ANYWHERE and get these Healthy Food Options.   Great Place, Lots of fun….just be prepared to order salad with chicken or fish.   Add some more “Healthy Food Options” to your menu Sloppy Joe’s! Give me a delicious grilled Grouper with Brown Rice and Grilled Veggies. Or…..a Vegetable Soup.   Still……Sloppy Joe’s is a really Good place to visit   I want to personally thank Becky Lawrence, General Manager at Sloppy Joe’s and all the servers and very friendly bartenders, who made my experience at Sloppy Joe’s a memorable one.   If you are heading to Key West for a vacation, make sure Sloppy Joe’s is on your list for restaurants to visit!   Hey Weight Loss Nation! www.TheWeightLossNation.com If you are ready to "finally" lose weight and keep it off forever, you need to "join Weight Loss Nation."
