And then spin the globe 6,000 miles and find yourself in Vietnam.Because this is what Madame Xuan Phuong did. As a teenager, Phuong fought in the jungles and mountains of Vietnam for her country's independence against the Japanese. And then the French. And finally the Americans.We are delighted and honoured to be joined by a very special guest to tell Xuan's story – Madame Phuong herself. A legend in her homeland, named on the BBC's 100 Women 2024 list and a recipient of the Legion d'Honneur, her fascinating story helps us see the Vietnam War through Vietnamese eyes.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

Anh shares her incredibly candid experiences growing up in Germany, how she reconnected with her Vietnamese heritage, and what it's like navigating Vietnamese society now with a “German attitude.”I found this conversation eye-opening, heartfelt, and at times hilarious — especially when we got into German bread vs Vietnamese rice, or Vietnamese CCTV.5 Key Talking PointsGrowing up Vietnamese in BerlinAnh moved to Germany at age 8 and didn't realize she was “different” until much later. The power of cultural contrastWe compared German directness, Vietnamese community warmth, and American friendliness.Returning to Vietnam and facing reverse culture shockNow back in Saigon, Anh shares how her Western mindset sometimes clashes with local norms — especially when working with contractors or navigating gender roles.Navigating multiple languages and identitiesHow Anh speaks German, English, and Vietnamese — and thinks in all three.Marriage to an American and global perspectiveChapters & Timestamps09:00 – Life in East Germany post-Berlin Wall16:00 – Growing up without a Vietnamese community22:30 – Returning to Vietnam & being ‘too German'26:00 – Language barriers between German & Vietnamese33:00 – Why she moved back to Vietnam43:00 – Being married to an American"Send me a message!"This Season is sponsored by Premier Dental.Discover the potential of a confident and healthy smile with the excellent dental clinic in Ho Chi Minh The full list of winners is here.

323. Navigating Pharmacy IT - Lessons Learned From an Informatics Team Panel Discussion feat. Drs. Aaron Tse, Phuong Wood, and Kevin Tien Intended Audience: Everyone I'm excited to share highlights from an insightful new episode featuring a panel discussion with my colleagues, Drs. Aaron Tse, Phuong Wood, and Kevin Tian. This episode brings you lessons learned from seasoned informatics pharmacists, reflecting on years of experience and the ever-evolving landscape of pharmacy IT. Key Takeaways & Lessons Learned: If It Can Break, It Probably Will Kevin underscores the importance of thoughtful proofing of IT systems and workflows. Everything must be robustly validated and meticulously documented because, as he puts it, “users will always find a way around things—whether intentionally or not!” ➡️ Documentation is your safety net for when things go awry or users take unanticipated shortcuts. The Power of Knowing the Full Process Phuong shares how understanding workflows from start to finish is crucial. Her experience managing medication billing and troubleshooting claim rejections revealed just how important it is to grasp the entire process—not just your silo. ➡️ The more you know about upstream and downstream effects, the better you can problem-solve and support your colleagues. Don't Take “No” for an Answer Aaron encourages all informatics professionals not to settle for the first “no”—especially from vendors or even within your own IT teams. Always dig deeper: is it a technical limitation, a resource issue, or simply a lack of knowledge? ➡️ Keep asking—sometimes solutions are possible with a little persistence! Consistency & Team Cohesion The group discusses the importance of having a unified approach as a team. Even when documentation is lacking, shared values and consistent methods ensure smooth handoffs and reliable support for end users. A final piece of advice is everyone should always be open to learning, prioritize effectively, and—above all—never forget you're a pharmacist first. Whether you're building, troubleshooting, or translating needs between teams, patient care is at the heart of everything you do.

On this week's episode of True Crime New England, Katie and Liz discuss the tragic story of the murder of Trang Phuong Ho. Fleeing from Vietnam by way of fishing boat at the age of 10, Trang found herself excelling at school, becoming valedictorian of her high school and getting into Harvard's pre-med track. In her sophomore year, she got a new roommate, Ethiopian immigrant Sinedu Tadesse, who was also valedictorian of her graduating class and studying pre-med. Unfortunately, Sinedu had some deep struggles, and suffered from extreme loneliness and some murderous desires. Tune in to hear the horrific case of a murder-suicide of two intelligent students on Harvard's grounds in 1995. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/truecrimene/support

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: Analyzing DeepMind's Probabilistic Methods for Evaluating Agent Capabilities, published by Axel Højmark on July 22, 2024 on The AI Alignment Forum. Produced as part of the MATS Program Summer 2024 Cohort. The project is supervised by Marius Hobbhahn and Jérémy Scheurer Introduction To mitigate risks from future AI systems, we need to assess their capabilities accurately. Ideally, we would have rigorous methods to upper bound the probability of a model having dangerous capabilities, even if these capabilities are not yet present or easily elicited. The paper "Evaluating Frontier Models for Dangerous Capabilities" by Phuong et al. 2024 is a recent contribution to this field from DeepMind. It proposes new methods that aim to estimate, as well as upper-bound the probability of large language models being able to successfully engage in persuasion, deception, cybersecurity, self-proliferation, or self-reasoning. This post presents our initial empirical and theoretical findings on the applicability of these methods. Their proposed methods have several desirable properties. Instead of repeatedly running the entire task end-to-end, the authors introduce milestones. Milestones break down a task and provide estimates of partial progress, which can reduce variance in overall capability assessments. The expert best-of-N method uses expert guidance to elicit rare behaviors and quantifies the expert assistance as a proxy for the model's independent performance on the task. However, we find that relying on milestones tends to underestimate the overall task success probability for most realistic tasks. Additionally, the expert best-of-N method fails to provide values directly correlated with the probability of task success, making its outputs less applicable to real-world scenarios. We therefore propose an alternative approach to the expert best-of-N method, which retains its advantages while providing more calibrated results. Except for the end-to-end method, we currently feel that no method presented in this post would allow us to reliably estimate or upper bound the success probability for realistic tasks and thus should not be used for critical decisions. The overarching aim of our MATS project is to uncover agent scaling trends, allowing the AI safety community to better predict the performance of future LLM agents from characteristics such as training compute, scaffolding used for agents, or benchmark results (Ruan et al., 2024). To avoid the issue of seemingly emergent abilities resulting from bad choices of metrics (Schaeffer et al., 2023), this work serves as our initial effort to extract more meaningful information from agentic evaluations. We are interested in receiving feedback and are particularly keen on alternative methods that enable us to reliably assign low-probability estimates (e.g. 1e7) to a model's success rate on a task. Evaluation Methodology of Phuong et al. The goal of the evaluations we discuss is to estimate the probability of an agent succeeding on a specific task T . Generally, when we refer to an agent, we mean an LLM wrapped in scaffolding that lets it execute shell commands, run code, or browse the web to complete some predetermined task. Formally, the goal is to estimate P(Ts), the probability that the agent solves task T and ends up in the solved state Ts . The naive approach to estimate this is with Monte Carlo sampling: The authors call this the end-to-end method. However, the end-to-end method struggles with low-probability events. The expected number of trials needed to observe one success for a task is 1P(Ts) making naive Monte Carlo sampling impractical for many low-probability, long-horizon tasks. In practice, this could require running multi-hour tasks hundreds of thousands of times. To address this challenge, Phuong et al. devise three addi...

Phuong is back on the podcast this week to discuss the importance of doing things that don't scale in startups. Phuong explains that this concept, popularized by Paul Graham of Y Combinator, involves manually handling processes to acquire customers, test concepts, and iterate on products before scaling. We dive into examples such as Seamless and Diapers.com, showing how hands-on approaches helped them understand customer needs and refine their offerings. We emphasize the importance of prioritizing learning and validation over rapid growth in the initial stages of a startup. Being involved in the early stages helps founders understand their business deeply, which is crucial for long-term success.

Phuong is back for her first appearance in 2024, where she shares insights on effectively conducting user testing for MVPs. We discuss the importance of learning from customer behavior, gathering a small group of dedicated users, setting clear objectives, tracking engagement metrics, and using various feedback methods like observing user interactions and conducting interviews and surveys. We emphasize the need to iterate based on user feedback and avoiding falling in love with the product over solving the identified problem. I aim to underscore the importance of solving for "no" rather than seeking only positive outcomes. Phuong highlights the significance of sticking to validated pain points and suggests silently observing users to understand their true interactions with the product. Overall, it's a valuable discussion on the iterative process of refining MVPs based on user feedback.Links:Follow us on Twitter: @mpd, @interplay, Podcast Links: Website, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn
