Episode 199: Essential Screenings for Young AdultsDr. Lopez presents the most important screening tests for young adults. Dr. Arreaza adds some input on screening for depression and anxiety. Written by Alejandra Lopez, MD. Edits by Hector Arreaza, MD. Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program. You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Dr. Lopez: Screening is testing done to help identify disease in a person or population that typically appears healthy. Our goal as clinicians is to see which children are at increased risk of disease and will merit additional testing. For clinicians, testing should be both easy to perform and interpret. Now let's talk about prevention in young adults.Dr. Arreaza: I can see it is important to talk about young adults because that population may be very hesitant to go to the doctor, in general. Tell us more about it.Dr. Lopez: We all know that early detection and prevention are key, but many young adults skip routine check-ups. Why is that? Sometimes it's lack of awareness, fear, or just not knowing where to start. That's why today, we'll focus on four key screenings that every adolescent and young adult should know about.The Annual Physical ExamDr. Arreaza: I'm excited to talk about it. Many young adults only see a doctor when they're sick, but screenings help catch issues early, sometimes before symptoms even appear. Tell us about the annual wellness exams and why they matter.Dr. Lopez: Let's start with the basics—annual wellness exams. Many young people don't feel the need to see a doctor if they're feeling fine. So, these check-ups are important because many serious health conditions start silently, meaning no symptoms at first. Dr. Arreaza: What do we look for in an annual exam?Dr. Lopez: An annual check-up:· It is important to track growth and development (especially important for adolescents)It also helps monitor blood pressure, weight, and BMI to help find out who is at risk for elevated or low BP, underweight or overweight/obesity, by analyzing both weight and body mass index.· Discuss lifestyle habits like diet, exercise, and sleep· Evaluate whether you are up to date on vaccinations or due for age-appropriate vaccines.· Address any mental health concernsIt's also a great opportunity for young people to establish a relationship with a provider they trust. This makes it easier to discuss sensitive topics like sexual health or mental health.Dr. Arreaza: So, you say that the annual physical exam helps identify all these issues early, and at the same time, you establish a relationship of trust with a doctor who you may need at any time. STI ScreeningDr. Arreaza: That brings us to our second key screening: testing for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). There are many STIs. Let's focus on gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. Dr. Lopez, can you breakit  down for us? Who needs STI screening, and why is it so important?Dr. Lopez: Absolutely. The CDC recommends that ALL sexually active women under age 25 get screened for chlamydia and gonorrhea annually. HIV testing should also be done at least once for all young adults and annually for those at higher risk. Why is this the case? Because Many STIs have no symptoms, but untreated infections can lead to serious complications like infertility or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women. The good news is that these infections are easily treatable if caught early. If caught later in life, then women and men alike are at risk for worse conditions. Dr. Arreaza: Let's talk about how do we do it?Dr. Lopez: STI screening is simple:· For chlamydia and gonorrhea, it's usually a urine test or a vaginal/cervical/oral swab.· For HIV, it's a quick blood test or even an oral swab.Many young adults avoid testing because of fear, stigma, or concerns about privacy, but most clinics offer confidential or even anonymous testing. Doctors do not share any information regarding the minor or young adult or any patient for that matter. AND if we are requested to share any information with others- then it is our obligation as doctors to ALWAYS ASK THE PATIENT before sharing ANY health information with third parties/other entitiesDr. Arreaza: And that includes parents of minors. Doctors are not allowed to discuss STI test results with parents of minors unless they are authorized by the patient or if the patient is in danger, for example, if this is a result of sexual abuse.Mental Health ScreeningsDr. Arreaza: Now, let's talk about something that's just as important as physical health—mental health. Depression and anxiety are very common in young people, but many don't seek help. How do doctors screen for depression?Dr. Lopez: Screening for depression is now a standard part of primary care. The most commonly used tool is the PHQ-9 questionnaire, which asks about:· Mood changes (sadness, hopelessness)· Loss of interest in activities· Sleep disturbances· Changes in appetite· Difficulty concentratingA score on this test can help determine whether someone is at risk of depression and needs further evaluation or support.Dr. Arreaza: And why should we screen for depression?Dr. Lopez: Because early treatment makes a huge difference. Depression can affect school, work, relationships, and even physical health. But with therapy, lifestyle changes, and sometimes medication, people can and do recover.I always tell young adults: Mental health is just as important as physical health. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.Dr. Arreaza: This is a USPSTF recommendation GRADE B. We are encouraged to screen adults, including pregnant and postpartum women, as well as older adults.HPV Screening & VaccinationDr. Lopez: Dr. Arreaza, finally, let's talk about HPV—one of the most preventable causes of cancer. The human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common STI worldwide, and it's responsible for almost all cases of cervical cancer, as well as throat, anal, and penile cancers. The good news? The HPV vaccine is over 90% effective at preventing these cancers. Dr. Arreaza: In fact, from 2015 to 2018, U.S. women ages 14 to 19 experienced an 88% decrease in HPV-related disease. That's a direct result of the vaccine's effectiveness.Dr. Lopez: It's recommended for:· All boys and girls, starting at the age of 9. ACIP gave new recommendations for use of a 2-dose schedule for girls and boys who initiate the vaccination series at ages 9-14 years. Three doses remain recommended for persons who start HPV vaccination at ages 15-26 years and for immunocompromised persons.· Catch-up vaccination is recommended for people up to age 26 (and in some cases, up to 45 with provider recommendation)Dr. Arreaza: And what about screening for HPV? How do we screen?Dr. Lopez: Great question, Dr. Arreaza. Pap smears start at age 21, for all women regardless of sexual activity, and are repeated every 3-5 years depending on HPV testing. Many people think Pap smears check for STIs, but they actually look for abnormal cervical cells that could lead to cancer. HPV vaccination plus routine screening means cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers today!Closing Thoughts & Call to ActionDr. Arreaza: That wraps up today's discussion on essential health screenings for young adults! Dr. Lopez, any final take-home messages?Guest: My biggest message is don't wait until something is wrong to see a doctor. Preventative care is simple, quick, and can save lives.If you're between the ages of 13-26, here's what you should do:-Get an annual wellness exam-Get tested for STIs if sexually active-Check in on your mental health and talk to someone if you need support-Get the HPV vaccine if you haven't already and follow up on screeningTaking these small steps today leads to better health for years to come!Host: That's fantastic! Dr. Lopez. I hope all our primary care providers can take these easy steps to keep our young community healthy.

In this episode, Katarina sits down with friend and fellow aesthetician Melissa Rossi to dig into the world of skincare trends vs. results-driven treatments. With over 20 years in the aesthetics industry, Melissa shares her experience moving from day spas to medical aesthetics to finally launching her own studio in Ontario, Canada. Together, they unpack the rise of skincare influencers, TikTok trends, and social media hype — and how these can mislead clients away from true skin health.  Topics Covered:Melissa's 20+ year skincare journey: from spas to surgery centers to solo studioWhy she finally went solo and the birth of In Skin StudioThe problem with comparing influencer advice vs. aesthetician expertiseWhy credentials and experience matter in skin healthThe truth about popular skincare trends:Face taping vs. Botox: does it actually work?The beef tallow craze: is it the new coconut oil for your face?At-home microneedling: what you need to know about safety and resultsThe power of personalization in skincare treatmentsClinical data, ingredient integrity, and real results vs. aesthetics and brandingHow estheticians build skin protocols from experience, not viral contentKey Takeaways:Not all skincare advice is created equal. Just because something worked for one influencer doesn't mean it works for your skin.Many trends, like face taping or beef tallow, may feel satisfying but lack long-term clinical support — and can do more harm than good.Professional treatments like microneedling, chemical peels, and customized skincare protocols offer proven results.A great esthetician doesn't just look at your skin — they consider your health, habits, and goals to build a plan just for you. Connect with Melissa Rossi:Instagram: @inskinstudio Location: London, Ontario, Canada Website https://www.inskinstudio.ca/Equinox Pro LED Mask https://www.fresha.com/store/inskin-studio-aesthetics-store-nxxeu5ot/product/equinox-pro-led-face-mask-qcapk4kd?pId=1422609Fav Cleansers at the moment https://www.fresha.com/store/inskin-studio-aesthetics-store-nxxeu5ot/product/mega-cream-cleanser-tc122cbl?pId=1422609https://www.fresha.com/store/inskin-studio-aesthetics-store-nxxeu5ot/product/idyllic-cleanser-with-3-mandelic-acid-e4seo7v0?pId=1422609https://www.fresha.com/store/inskin-studio-aesthetics-store-nxxeu5ot/product/oxygen-deep-pore-masque-lb6omomz?pId=1422609Connect with Me:Katarina's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/your.master.aesthetician/Podcast Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/unwrittenbeautytalks/Katarina's Website: Code UNWRITTEN for 10% off https://www.yourhonestglow.com/Interested in being a guest?

A new study from Australia shows that bacterial vaginosis (BV), commonly known as BV, should now be considered an STI/STD. BV affects 1 in 3 women, and is often recurrent in 50% of affected women following antibiotic treatment. Typical symptoms from BV include, vaginal itching, discharge, odor and pain with urination. BV can increase a woman's risk of developing STIs/STDs, such as chlamydia, gonorrhea and HIV, which can increase a woman's risk of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and infertility. Becoming infected during pregnancy can increase a woman's risk of premature birth or miscarriage. Though previous studies have shown BV is more common in sexually active women, to date, it has not been classified as an STI/STD. In the Australian study, the recurrence rate in infected women following antibiotic treatment was reduced by over 50% when male sexual partners were treated with oral and topical antibiotics. Prior studies also showed that women in same-sex relationships have a higher risk of BV. Additionally, having multiple sex partners, not using condoms, douching, having sex with an infected partner, and smoking increase the risk of a BV infection. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms or you have a history of recurrent BV infections, speak to your healthcare professional for further evaluation and possible partner treatment.

Double Tap Episode 399 This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: Brownells, Midwest Industries, Gideon Optics, Night Fision, Bowers Group, and Matador Arms   Welcome to Double Tap, episode 399! Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Aaron Krieger, Nick Lynch, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show! Dear WLS Joe Rogan the Third - Yo guys,While cruising the country side i was curious about what song yall would play on your way to go fuck shit up. This isn't specifically for end of times stuff but maybe more like roughing up the guy that touched your daughter or family member wrong. Mine would be Death Deathwalk by Pop Evil.ve the show #NoNotes   Ooooooo Kay...Hey Guys! JayWeth (Josh) from Squad Drills and "The MacBros Show" on FRN. My co-host (Darius) and I were sent a question recently and we wanted to get your perspective. What makes a gun superior over another? Also, what do you think should be the standard for handgun manufacturers ala Jon Patton's Standards(capacity, optic cut, light rail, magazines, etc.)? If a handgun doesn't meet this standard, will you refuse to purchase it in the future? Love the show and thanks for all the support on FRN. Note - No notes.   Desert Deagleton - I'm looking for a new suppressor host. Can you guys recommend an interesting or unique 22 rifle with a 16” barrel? I'd prefer something manually operated or a single shot as I already have 2 10/22s and a Charger.   Ron H - For your carry pistol, if you could only have one of two accessories, which would the cast choose. Optic or Light. To clarify, when stating Optic it is regarding a Red Dot or other colored (yes, colored) electronic optic. You may still have your selection of Iron sights. For Light, I am specifically referring to a weapon mounted light and not a handheld. Many instructors and even the cast discuss the importance of a WML for PID.

PS - Please give Aaron a big hug; he cops a lot of flack but we would all be lost without him.Cheers, Hugmuffin Gay and Retarded - Now that we can say gay and retarded again I was wondering how do we define gay and how do we define retarded? Can something be just gay or just retarded or is it a package deal? Do they even have precise definitions or is it more of a "I know it when I see it" kind of thing?   Roger H - Trump and Congress need to pass a federal castle doctrine then any American citizen(Jeremy) can have a stateside. Many states have one for its citizens why can't this be federal then we can protect our home. America is mine and your home. happy humperdinkel - 9.3x62 is it enough for deer?

La fe de una madre es milagrosa1) Una Madre: Me pongo a pensar en tu mamá y también en la mía. Cuántas veces habrán pedido a Dios por vos y por mí. Una madre se preocupa por su hijo y se desespera cuando ve que está como endemoniado, es decir, sin Dios, sin luz, sin nada, constantemente golpeándose a sí mismo. Esta mujer no era religiosa, pero al ver así a su hijo recurre a Jesús. Cuántas madres recurren a Jesús por su hijo. Vos sos hoy una respuesta de Dios a tu mamá. Cuántas veces habrá rezado por vos. Una madre está atenta a su hijo y lo lleva a Jesús.2) La petición: A Dios rogando, pero con el mazo dando. La clave es esa, rogar y pedir a Dios la gracia y el momento justo. No tirarse abajo, sino pedir y pedir. No dejes de pedir. Hay que insistirle a Dios. No te tires para abajo. Esta mujer no se da por vencida, lucha su petición. Vos volvelo loco a Dios, pedile, no te canses, ¡que se la banque! Para qué quiso ser Dios, ¿no?3) Libérate del demonio: Una de las claves del demonio es la falsedad. Sé íntegro y honesto, no te poseas en la falta de Dios y en la falsedad. Sé firme y claro. Es una de las grandes críticas que recibimos en el catolicismo. Pidámosle a Dios no ser falsos, sino ser honestos. Dios está con vos. Algo bueno está por venir.

Lo externo es lo que es, lo que aparece y lo que está. Lo interno es lo que mancha, aquello que ya es1) Lo externo: Es aquello que está frente a mí, que me lleva a enfrentarlo, pero también a echarle la culpa. Esto que nos enseñan también los psicólogos: el chivo expiatorio. Aquello que tengo para echarle la culpa y para sacarme toda la bronca y nos lleva a pagar caro, a cometer errores graves en toda tu vida.2) Lo interno: Es lo que hay en mí, aquello que debo trabajar pues es eso a lo que Jesús apuntala, a trabajar tu interior y desde el interior iluminar, más que condenar; porque si no lo que cometes es un grave error, al mirar la vida de los demás desde tu subjetividad, tu interioridad, desde vos, pero no aprendes a conocerlos, porque incluso ya lo has rotulado.3) No se cambian: No se cambian algunas cosas. Uno en la vida aprende a soportarlas, a llevarlas y a saber administrarlas. Pidámosle a Jesus hoy que te ayude a vencer las tentaciones internas contra las cosas externas. Algo bueno está por venir.

THIS IS A DREAM GUEST OF MINE! I interviewed David Bedrick, author of The Unshaming Way, and we talked about how unshaming parts of yourself can lead to deeper intimacy in relationships. When you no longer are preoccupied with shame, you can be more present with the people in your life. We talked about how shame impacts our ability to feel safe or trusting in relationships, and how to get both feet in the relationship.You'll learn what unshaming looks and sounds like as we demonstrate it in real time in our relationship to one another.We also discussed how to work with shame as a practitioner working with clients, and the importance of doing your own shadow work as the facilitator.Get his book, The Unshaming Way: A Compassionate Guide to Dismantling ShameBuy on Penguin Random House: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/760843/the-unshaming-way-by-david-bedrick/Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CWL19X7G?tag=randohouseinc7986-20Buy on Books-a-Million: https://www.booksamillion.com/p/9798889840756?cjdata=MXxOfDB8WXww&AID=10747236&PID=8373827&SID=PRHEFFDF5A7F1--9798889840756&cjevent=242ad279e33511ef80ad539a0a1cb826You can also follow David Bedrick on Instagram: @david.bedrickor learn more about him and his work on his website: https://www.davidbedrick.comWork with us:Rock Solid Relationship: https://healingembodied.kartra.com/page/jxJ1671:1 mentorship with Sarah: https://healingembodied.kartra.com/page/relationship-rebirth-sarah1:1 mentorship with Chelsea: https://healingembodied.kartra.com/page/relationship-rebirth-chelseaBecome a Certified Healing Embodied Practitioner:https://www.healingembodied.com/get-certifiedBook a free Career Vision Call: https://healingembodied.hbportal.co/public/careervisionAdditional Resources:Book a free 15 minute Clarity Call with a member of our team, and learn how we can support you in creating more trust, love, and joy in your life and relationship: https://healingembodied.kartra.com/page/applyWant to feel safe to let in the fullness of love in your relationship?

This Episodes Questions: I have a CR-10 Smart that is on the verge of becoming scrap metal.  The hot end clogged so bad I could not even get the filament out of it.  I replaced it with a hotend from a cr-6se, because it is compatible, and have not had any luck despite my constant tinkering, PID tunes, re-leveling, etc.  Is there any other options for me and this printer? Would it be possible to turn it into a big ender with a different hotend set up, control board, etc? Thanks in advance! Leo Here is one for all three of you.  I have two Bambu labs printers but feel I may have been robbed of the experience of putting one together. I remember putting together my first CNC and enjoyed doing it.  What printer would you recommend that would be fun to put together and be a decent printer? Maybe you can each give a unique answer. Thanks for the great podcast. David Mcabe

CVE2CAPEC is a tool developed by Galeax that automates the process of mapping Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) to Common Weakness Enumerations (CWEs), Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC), and MITRE ATT&CK Techniques.This tool helps security researchers identify vulnerabilities within macOS's sandbox restrictions, particularly targeting XPC services in the PID domain marked as "Application" services, which often lack adequate protection.Zscaler's recent blog discusses how North Korean IT professionals are increasingly finding remote work in Western companies, often under disguised identities.In a recent campaign, GootLoader malware has been targeting Bengal cat enthusiasts in Australia using SEO poisoning tactics.After a multi-month absence, the malware loader FakeBat—also known as Eugenloader or PaykLoader—has resurfaced, distributing malware through Google Ads, with a recent campaign exploiting ads for the popular app Notion.Over the past five years, Sophos has been engaged in a complex battle against Chinese state-sponsored cyber adversaries targeting its firewall products. This prolonged engagement, detailed in Sophos' "Pacific Rim" report, reveals a series of sophisticated attacks aimed at exploiting vulnerabilities in internet-facing devices, particularly those within critical infrastructure sectors across South and Southeast Asia.

DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA VESPERTINA“SALMOS”Narrado por: Joyce VejarDesde: Arizona, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church11 DE NOVIEMBRE SALMO 146 «No pongan su confianza en gente poderosa, en simples mortales, que no pueden salvar» (SAL. 146:3).  La religión de Roma consideraba a los emperadores como dioses. Construían templos en su memoria, ofrecían sacrificios en su nombre, y adoraban en público al representante vivo del imperio. Pero según cuenta la leyenda sobre Marco Aurelio, el emperador de Roma en el siglo ii d. C., cuando un ciudadano se le arrodillaba o gritaba algún cumplido o una palabra de elogio, él ordenaba a uno de sus siervos susurrar en sus oídos: «Eres solo un hombre. Eres solo un hombre».  Los seres humanos tendemos a cometer el error de poner nuestra confianza en el hombre en lugar de confiar en Dios. Sin embargo, por tan poderosos, admirados y honrados que sean en la sociedad, las Escrituras nos reiteran como los susurros del siervo de Aurelio que, a última instancia, los hombres son tan solo hombres: «No pongan su confianza en gente poderosa, en simples mortales, que no pueden salvar. Exhalan el espíritu y vuelven al polvo, y ese mismo día se desbaratan sus planes» (Sal. 146:3-4).  Por esta razón, el Salmo 146 en particular nos advierte a no confiar en príncipes ni en los hijos de los hombres. En el día de hoy el mundo se encuentra marcado en todas partes con divisiones sociales y políticas, cada quién trabajando a favor de sus propios intereses o los de su partido favorito o persona preferida. Sin embargo, la confianza que pondríamos en ellos será tan incierta como su precaria existencia. Están aquí hoy como una vez lo estuvo Alejandro Magno, Napoleón y Winston Churchill, pero de la misma manera, algún día dejarán de existir aquellos en quienes buscamos ayuda y ponemos nuestra esperanza. Por tanto, «Así dice el Señor: “¡Maldito el hombre que confía en el hombre! ¡Maldito el que se apoya en su propia fuerza y aparta su corazón del Señor!”» (Jer. 17:5).  En cambio, la persona que pone su confianza en Dios, dice la Biblia, es considerado bendito: «Dichoso aquel cuya ayuda es el Dios de Jacob, cuya esperanza está en el Señor su Dios» (Sal. 146:5). Dios es el eterno Creador del universo (v. 6). Existió antes de la creación y continuará hasta la eternidad. Y si Dios es eterno también lo son Sus atributos, Su misericordia y Su fidelidad. Por esta razón los Salmos con frecuencia nos motivan a mirar a Dios con un espíritu de adoración por la esperanza perdurable que encontramos en Él (Sal. 117).  Por tanto, confiar en el hombre es una proposición absurda a la luz de quién es Dios. El reino de los hombres tendrá su fin, pero «El Señor reinará para siempre» (Sal. 146:10, RVR1960). La ayuda de los hombres es parcial e incierta, más la ayuda de Dios es verdadera y segura (vv. 6-9). ¿Dónde está tu confianza el día de hoy? ¿Tu confianza mora en el reino limitado de los hombres o en el reino eterno y perfecto de nuestro Dios?  Pidámosle a Dios en oración que nos enseñe a confiar en Él; que nos dé paz a saber que Su esperanza es eterna y segura; y que independientemente del hombre que esté en el poder, nunca perdamos de vista quién es el verdadero y perfecto Rey del universo.

Apologies for lower audio quality; we lost recordings and had to use backup tracks. Our guests today are Anastasios Angelopoulos and Wei-Lin Chiang, leads of Chatbot Arena, fka LMSYS, the crowdsourced AI evaluation platform developed by the LMSys student club at Berkeley, which became the de facto standard for comparing language models. Arena ELO is often more cited than MMLU scores to many folks, and they have attracted >1,000,000 people to cast votes since its launch, leading top model trainers to cite them over their own formal academic benchmarks:The Limits of Static BenchmarksWe've done two benchmarks episodes: Benchmarks 101 and Benchmarks 201. One issue we've always brought up with static benchmarks is that 1) many are getting saturated, with models scoring almost perfectly on them 2) they often don't reflect production use cases, making it hard for developers and users to use them as guidance. The fundamental challenge in AI evaluation isn't technical - it's philosophical. How do you measure something that increasingly resembles human intelligence? Rather than trying to define intelligence upfront, Arena let users interact naturally with models and collect comparative feedback. It's messy and subjective, but that's precisely the point - it captures the full spectrum of what people actually care about when using AI.The Pareto Frontier of Cost vs IntelligenceBecause the Elo scores are remarkably stable over time, we can put all the chat models on a map against their respective cost to gain a view of at least 3 orders of magnitude of model sizes/costs and observe the remarkable shift in intelligence per dollar over the past year:This frontier stood remarkably firm through the recent releases of o1-preview and price cuts of Gemini 1.5:The Statistics of SubjectivityIn our Benchmarks 201 episode, Clémentine Fourrier from HuggingFace thought this design choice was one of shortcomings of arenas: they aren't reproducible. You don't know who ranked what and what exactly the outcome was at the time of ranking. That same person might rank the same pair of outputs differently on a different day, or might ask harder questions to better models compared to smaller ones, making it imbalanced. Another argument that people have brought up is confirmation bias. We know humans prefer longer responses and are swayed by formatting - Rob Mulla from Dreadnode had found some interesting data on this in May:The approach LMArena is taking is to use logistic regression to decompose human preferences into constituent factors. As Anastasios explains: "We can say what components of style contribute to human preference and how they contribute." By adding these style components as parameters, they can mathematically "suck out" their influence and isolate the core model capabilities.This extends beyond just style - they can control for any measurable factor: "What if I want to look at the cost adjusted performance? Parameter count? We can ex post facto measure that." This is one of the most interesting things about Arena: You have a data generation engine which you can clean and turn into leaderboards later. If you wanted to create a leaderboard for poetry writing, you could get existing data from Arena, normalize it by identifying these style components. Whether or not it's possible to really understand WHAT bias the voters have, that's a different question.Private EvalsOne of the most delicate challenges LMSYS faces is maintaining trust while collaborating with AI labs. The concern is that labs could game the system by testing multiple variants privately and only releasing the best performer. This was brought up when 4o-mini released and it ranked as the second best model on the leaderboard:But this fear misunderstands how Arena works. Unlike static benchmarks where selection bias is a major issue, Arena's live nature means any initial bias gets washed out by ongoing evaluation. As Anastasios explains: "In the long run, there's way more fresh data than there is data that was used to compare these five models." The other big question is WHAT model is actually being tested; as people often talk about on X / Discord, the same endpoint will randomly feel “nerfed” like it happened for “Claude European summer” and corresponding conspiracy theories:It's hard to keep track of these performance changes in Arena as these changes (if real…?) are not observable.The Future of EvaluationThe team's latest work on RouteLLM points to an interesting future where evaluation becomes more granular and task-specific. But they maintain that even simple routing strategies can be powerful - like directing complex queries to larger models while handling simple tasks with smaller ones.Arena is now going to expand beyond text into multimodal evaluation and specialized domains like code execution and red teaming. But their core insight remains: the best way to evaluate intelligence isn't to simplify it into metrics, but to embrace its complexity and find rigorous ways to analyze it. To go after this vision, they are spinning out Arena from LMSys, which will stay as an academia-driven group at Berkeley.Full Video PodcastChapters* 00:00:00 - Introductions* 00:01:16 - Origin and development of Chatbot Arena* 00:05:41 - Static benchmarks vs. Arenas* 00:09:03 - Community building* 00:13:32 - Biases in human preference evaluation* 00:18:27 - Style Control and Model Categories* 00:26:06 - Impact of o1* 00:29:15 - Collaborating with AI labs* 00:34:51 - RouteLLM and router models* 00:38:09 - Future of LMSys / ArenaShow Notes* Anastasios Angelopoulos* Anastasios' NeurIPS Paper Conformal Risk Control* Wei-Lin Chiang* Chatbot Arena* LMSys* MTBench* ShareGPT dataset* Stanford's Alpaca project* LLMRouter* E2B* DreadnodeTranscriptAlessio [00:00:00]: Hey everyone, welcome to the Latent Space podcast.

Welcome guys.Wei Lin [00:00:21]: Hey, how's it going? Nice to see you.Anastasios [00:00:23]: Thanks for having us.Swyx [00:00:24]: Anastasios, I actually saw you, I think at last year's NeurIPS. You were presenting a paper, which I don't really super understand, but it was some theory paper about how your method was very dominating over other sort of search methods. I don't remember what it was, but I remember that you were a very confident speaker.Anastasios [00:00:40]: Oh, I totally remember you. Didn't ever connect that, but yes, that's definitely true. Yeah. Nice to see you again.Swyx [00:00:46]: Yeah. I was frantically looking for the name of your paper and I couldn't find it. Basically I had to cut it because I didn't understand it.Anastasios [00:00:51]: Is this conformal PID control or was this the online control?Wei Lin [00:00:55]: Blast from the past, man.Swyx [00:00:57]: Blast from the past. It's always interesting how NeurIPS and all these academic conferences are sort of six months behind what people are actually doing, but conformal risk control, I would recommend people check it out. I have the recording. I just never published it just because I was like, I don't understand this enough to explain it.Anastasios [00:01:14]: People won't be interested.Wei Lin [00:01:15]: It's all good.Swyx [00:01:16]: But ELO scores, ELO scores are very easy to understand. You guys are responsible for the biggest revolution in language model benchmarking in the last few years. Maybe you guys want to introduce yourselves and maybe tell a little bit of the brief history of LMSysWei Lin [00:01:32]: Hey, I'm Wei Lin. I'm a fifth year PhD student at UC Berkeley, working on Chatbot Arena these days, doing crowdsourcing AI benchmarking.Anastasios [00:01:43]: I'm Anastasios. I'm a sixth year PhD student here at Berkeley. I did most of my PhD on like theoretical statistics and sort of foundations of model evaluation and testing. And now I'm working 150% on this Chatbot Arena stuff. It's great.Alessio [00:02:00]: And what was the origin of it? How did you come up with the idea? How did you get people to buy in? And then maybe what were one or two of the pivotal moments early on that kind of made it the standard for these things?Wei Lin [00:02:12]: Yeah, yeah. Chatbot Arena project was started last year in April, May, around that. Before that, we were basically experimenting in a lab how to fine tune a chatbot open source based on the Llama 1 model that I released. At that time, Lama 1 was like a base model and people didn't really know how to fine tune it. So we were doing some explorations. We were inspired by Stanford's Alpaca project. So we basically, yeah, grow a data set from the internet, which is called ShareGPT data set, which is like a dialogue data set between user and chat GPT conversation. It turns out to be like pretty high quality data, dialogue data. So we fine tune on it and then we train it and release the model called V2. And people were very excited about it because it kind of like demonstrate open way model can reach this conversation capability similar to chat GPT. And then we basically release the model with and also build a demo website for the model. People were very excited about it. But during the development, the biggest challenge to us at the time was like, how do we even evaluate it? How do we even argue this model we trained is better than others? And then what's the gap between this open source model that other proprietary offering? At that time, it was like GPT-4 was just announced and it's like Cloud One. What's the difference between them? And then after that, like every week, there's a new model being fine tuned, released. So even until still now, right? And then we have that demo website for V2 now. And then we thought like, okay, maybe we can add a few more of the model as well, like API model as well. And then we quickly realized that people need a tool to compare between different models. So we have like a side by side UI implemented on the website to that people choose, you know, compare. And we quickly realized that maybe we can do something like, like a battle on top of ECLMs, like just anonymize it, anonymize the identity, and that people vote which one is better. So the community decides which one is better, not us, not us arguing, you know, our model is better or what. And that turns out to be like, people are very excited about this idea. And then we tweet, we launch, and that's, yeah, that's April, May. And then it was like first two, three weeks, like just a few hundred thousand views tweet on our launch tweets. And then we have regularly double update weekly, beginning at a time, adding new model GPT-4 as well. So it was like, that was the, you know, the initial.Anastasios [00:04:58]: Another pivotal moment, just to jump in, would be private models, like the GPT, I'm a little,Wei Lin [00:05:04]: I'm a little chatty. That was this year. That was this year.Anastasios [00:05:07]: Huge.Wei Lin [00:05:08]: That was also huge.Alessio [00:05:09]: In the beginning, I saw the initial release was May 3rd of the beta board. On April 6, we did a benchmarks 101 episode for a podcast, just kind of talking about, you know, how so much of the data is like in the pre-training corpus and blah, blah, blah. And like the benchmarks are really not what we need to evaluate whether or not a model is good. Why did you not make a benchmark? Maybe at the time, you know, it was just like, Hey, let's just put together a whole bunch of data again, run a, make a score that seems much easier than coming out with a whole website where like users need to vote. Any thoughts behind that?Wei Lin [00:05:41]: I think it's more like fundamentally, we don't know how to automate this kind of benchmarks when it's more like, you know, conversational, multi-turn, and more open-ended task that may not come with a ground truth. So let's say if you ask a model to help you write an email for you for whatever purpose, there's no ground truth. How do you score them? Or write a story or a creative story or many other things like how we use ChatterBee these days. It's more open-ended. You know, we need human in the loop to give us feedback, which one is better. And I think nuance here is like, sometimes it's also hard for human to give the absolute rating. So that's why we have this kind of pairwise comparison, easier for people to choose which one is better. So from that, we use these pairwise comparison, those to calculate the leaderboard. Yeah. You can add more about this methodology.Anastasios [00:06:40]: Yeah. I think the point is that, and you guys probably also talked about this at some point, but static benchmarks are intrinsically, to some extent, unable to measure generative model performance. And the reason is because you cannot pre-annotate all the outputs of a generative model. You change the model, it's like the distribution of your data is changing. New labels to deal with that. New labels are great automated labeling, right? Which is why people are pursuing both. And yeah, static benchmarks, they allow you to zoom in to particular types of information like factuality, historical facts. We can build the best benchmark of historical facts, and we will then know that the model is great at historical facts. But ultimately, that's not the only axis, right? And we can build 50 of them, and we can evaluate 50 axes. But it's just so, the problem of generative model evaluation is just so expansive, and it's so subjective, that it's just maybe non-intrinsically impossible, but at least we don't see a way. We didn't see a way of encoding that into a fixed benchmark.Wei Lin [00:07:47]: But on the other hand, I think there's a challenge where this kind of online dynamic benchmark is more expensive than static benchmark, offline benchmark, where people still need it. Like when they build models, they need static benchmark to track where they are.Anastasios [00:08:03]: It's not like our benchmark is uniformly better than all other benchmarks, right? It just measures a different kind of performance that has proved to be useful.Swyx [00:08:14]: You guys also published MTBench as well, which is a static version, let's say, of Chatbot Arena, right? That people can actually use in their development of models.Wei Lin [00:08:25]: Right. I think one of the reasons we still do this static benchmark, we still wanted to explore, experiment whether we can automate this, because people, eventually, model developers need it to fast iterate their model. So that's why we explored LM as a judge, and ArenaHard, trying to filter, select high-quality data we collected from Chatbot Arena, the high-quality subset, and use that as a question and then automate the judge pipeline, so that people can quickly get high-quality signal, benchmark signals, using this online benchmark.Swyx [00:09:03]: As a community builder, I'm curious about just the initial early days. Obviously when you offer effectively free A-B testing inference for people, people will come and use your arena. What do you think were the key unlocks for you? Was it funding for this arena? Was it marketing? When people came in, do you see a noticeable skew in the data? Which obviously now you have enough data sets, you can separate things out, like coding and hard prompts, but in the early days, it was just all sorts of things.Anastasios [00:09:31]: Yeah, maybe one thing to establish at first is that our philosophy has always been to maximize organic use. I think that really does speak to your point, which is, yeah, why do people come? They came to use free LLM inference, right? And also, a lot of users just come to the website to use direct chat, because you can chat with the model for free. And then you could think about it like, hey, let's just be kind of like more on the selfish or conservative or protectionist side and say, no, we're only giving credits for people that battle or so on and so forth. Strategy wouldn't work, right? Because what we're trying to build is like a big funnel, a big funnel that can direct people. And some people are passionate and interested and they battle. And yes, the distribution of the people that do that is different. It's like, as you're pointing out, it's like, that's not as they're enthusiastic.Wei Lin [00:10:24]: They're early adopters of this technology.Anastasios [00:10:27]: Or they like games, you know, people like this. And we've run a couple of surveys that indicate this as well, of our user base.Wei Lin [00:10:36]: We do see a lot of developers come to the site asking polling questions, 20-30%. Yeah, 20-30%.Anastasios [00:10:42]: It's obviously not reflective of the general population, but it's reflective of some corner of the world of people that really care. And to some extent, maybe that's all right, because those are like the power users. And you know, we're not trying to claim that we represent the world, right? We represent the people that come and vote.Swyx [00:11:02]: Did you have to do anything marketing-wise? Was anything effective? Did you struggle at all? Was it success from day one?Wei Lin [00:11:09]: At some point, almost done. Okay. Because as you can imagine, this leaderboard depends on community engagement participation. If no one comes to vote tomorrow, then no leaderboard.Anastasios [00:11:23]: So we had some period of time when the number of users was just, after the initial launch, it went lower. Yeah. And, you know, at some point, it did not look promising. Actually, I joined the project a couple months in to do the statistical aspects, right? As you can imagine, that's how it kind of hooked into my previous work. At that time, it wasn't like, you know, it definitely wasn't clear that this was like going to be the eval or something. It was just like, oh, this is a cool project. Like Wayland seems awesome, you know, and that's it.Wei Lin [00:11:56]: Definitely. There's in the beginning, because people don't know us, people don't know what this is for. So we had a hard time. But I think we were lucky enough that we have some initial momentum. And as well as the competition between model providers just becoming, you know, became very intense. Intense. And then that makes the eval onto us, right? Because always number one is number one.Anastasios [00:12:23]: There's also an element of trust. Our main priority in everything we do is trust. We want to make sure we're doing everything like all the I's are dotted and the T's are crossed and nobody gets unfair treatment and people can see from our profiles and from our previous work and from whatever, you know, we're trustworthy people. We're not like trying to make a buck and we're not trying to become famous off of this or that. It's just, we're trying to provide a great public leaderboard community venture project.Wei Lin [00:12:51]: Yeah.Swyx [00:12:52]: Yes. I mean, you are kind of famous now, you know, that's fine. Just to dive in more into biases and, you know, some of this is like statistical control. The classic one for human preference evaluation is humans demonstrably prefer longer contexts or longer outputs, which is actually something that we don't necessarily want. You guys, I think maybe two months ago put out some length control studies. Apart from that, there are just other documented biases. Like, I'd just be interested in your review of what you've learned about biases and maybe a little bit about how you've controlled for them.Anastasios [00:13:32]: At a very high level, yeah. Humans are biased. Totally agree. Like in various ways. It's not clear whether that's good or bad, you know, we try not to make value judgments about these things. We just try to describe them as they are. And our approach is always as follows. We collect organic data and then we take that data and we mine it to get whatever insights we can get. And, you know, we have many millions of data points that we can now use to extract insights from. Now, one of those insights is to ask the question, what is the effect of style, right? You have a bunch of data, you have votes, people are voting either which way. We have all the conversations. We can say what components of style contribute to human preference and how do they contribute? Now, that's an important question. Why is that an important question? It's important because some people want to see which model would be better if the lengths of the responses were the same, were to be the same, right? People want to see the causal effect of the model's identity controlled for length or controlled for markdown, number of headers, bulleted lists, is the text bold? Some people don't, they just don't care about that. The idea is not to impose the judgment that this is not important, but rather to say ex post facto, can we analyze our data in a way that decouples all the different factors that go into human preference? Now, the way we do this is via statistical regression. That is to say the arena score that we show on our leaderboard is a particular type of linear model, right? It's a linear model that takes, it's a logistic regression that takes model identities and fits them against human preference, right? So it regresses human preference against model identity. What you get at the end of that logistic regression is a parameter vector of coefficients. And when the coefficient is large, it tells you that GPT 4.0 or whatever, very large coefficient, that means it's strong. And that's exactly what we report in the table. It's just the predictive effect of the model identity on the vote. The other thing that you can do is you can take that vector, let's say we have M models, that is an M dimensional vector of coefficients. What you can do is you say, hey, I also want to understand what the effect of length is. So I'll add another entry to that vector, which is trying to predict the vote, right? That tells me the difference in length between two model responses. So we have that for all of our data. We can compute it ex post facto. We added it into the regression and we look at that predictive effect. And then the idea, and this is formally true under certain conditions, not always verifiable ones, but the idea is that adding that extra coefficient to this vector will kind of suck out the predictive power of length and put it into that M plus first coefficient and quote, unquote, de-bias the rest so that the effect of length is not included. And that's what we do in style control. Now we don't just do it for M plus one. We have, you know, five, six different style components that have to do with markdown headers and bulleted lists and so on that we add here. Now, where is this going? You guys see the idea. It's a general methodology. If you have something that's sort of like a nuisance parameter, something that exists and provides predictive value, but you really don't want to estimate that. You want to remove its effect. In causal inference, these things are called like confounders often. What you can do is you can model the effect. You can put them into your model and try to adjust for them. So another one of those things might be cost. You know, what if I want to look at the cost adjusted performance of my model, which models are punching above their weight, parameter count, which models are punching above their weight in terms of parameter count, we can ex post facto measure that. We can do it without introducing anything that compromises the organic nature of theWei Lin [00:17:17]: data that we collect.Anastasios [00:17:18]: Hopefully that answers the question.Wei Lin [00:17:20]: It does.Swyx [00:17:21]: So I guess with a background in econometrics, this is super familiar.Anastasios [00:17:25]: You're probably better at this than me for sure.Swyx [00:17:27]: Well, I mean, so I used to be, you know, a quantitative trader and so, you know, controlling for multiple effects on stock price is effectively the job. So it's interesting. Obviously the problem is proving causation, which is hard, but you don't have to do that.Anastasios [00:17:45]: Yes. Yes, that's right. And causal inference is a hard problem and it goes beyond statistics, right? It's like you have to build the right causal model and so on and so forth. But we think that this is a good first step and we're sort of looking forward to learning from more people. You know, there's some good people at Berkeley that work on causal inference for the learning from them on like, what are the really most contemporary techniques that we can use in order to estimate true causal effects if possible.Swyx [00:18:10]: Maybe we could take a step through the other categories. So style control is a category. It is not a default. I have thought that when you wrote that blog post, actually, I thought it would be the new default because it seems like the most obvious thing to control for. But you also have other categories, you have coding, you have hard prompts. We consider that.Anastasios [00:18:27]: We're still actively considering it. It's just, you know, once you make that step, once you take that step, you're introducing your opinion and I'm not, you know, why should our opinion be the one? That's kind of a community choice. We could put it to a vote.Wei Lin [00:18:39]: We could pass.Anastasios [00:18:40]: Yeah, maybe do a poll. Maybe do a poll.Swyx [00:18:42]: I don't know. No opinion is an opinion.Wei Lin [00:18:44]: You know what I mean?Swyx [00:18:45]: Yeah.Wei Lin [00:18:46]: There's no neutral choice here.Swyx [00:18:47]: Yeah. You have all these others. You have instruction following too. What are your favorite categories that you like to talk about? Maybe you tell a little bit of the stories, tell a little bit of like the hard choices that you had to make.Wei Lin [00:18:57]: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think the, uh, initially the reason why we want to add these new categories is essentially to answer some of the questions from our community, which is we won't have a single leaderboard for everything. So these models behave very differently in different domains. Let's say this model is trend for coding, this model trend for more technical questions and so on. On the other hand, to answer people's question about like, okay, what if all these low quality, you know, because we crowdsource data from the internet, there will be noise. So how do we de-noise? How do we filter out these low quality data effectively? So that was like, you know, some questions we want to answer. So basically we spent a few months, like really diving into these questions to understand how do we filter all these data because these are like medias of data points. And then if you want to re-label yourself, it's possible, but we need to kind of like to automate this kind of data classification pipeline for us to effectively categorize them to different categories, say coding, math, structure, and also harder problems. So that was like, the hope is when we slice the data into these meaningful categories to give people more like better signals, more direct signals, and that's also to clarify what we are actually measuring for, because I think that's the core part of the benchmark. That was the initial motivation. Does that make sense?Anastasios [00:20:27]: Yeah. Also, I'll just say, this does like get back to the point that the philosophy is to like mine organic, to take organic data and then mine it x plus factor.Alessio [00:20:35]: Is the data cage-free too, or just organic?Anastasios [00:20:39]: It's cage-free.Wei Lin [00:20:40]: No GMO. Yeah. And all of these efforts are like open source, like we open source all of the data cleaning pipeline, filtering pipeline. Yeah.Swyx [00:20:50]: I love the notebooks you guys publish. Actually really good just for learning statistics.Wei Lin [00:20:54]: Yeah. I'll share this insights with everyone.Alessio [00:20:59]: I agree on the initial premise of, Hey, writing an email, writing a story, there's like no ground truth. But I think as you move into like coding and like red teaming, some of these things, there's like kind of like skill levels. So I'm curious how you think about the distribution of skill of the users. Like maybe the top 1% of red teamers is just not participating in the arena. So how do you guys think about adjusting for it? And like feels like this where there's kind of like big differences between the average and the top. Yeah.Anastasios [00:21:29]: Red teaming, of course, red teaming is quite challenging. So, okay. Moving back. There's definitely like some tasks that are not as subjective that like pairwise human preference feedback is not the only signal that you would want to measure. And to some extent, maybe it's useful, but it may be more useful if you give people better tools. For example, it'd be great if we could execute code with an arena, be fantastic.Wei Lin [00:21:52]: We want to do it.Anastasios [00:21:53]: There's also this idea of constructing a user leaderboard. What does that mean? That means some users are better than others. And how do we measure that? How do we quantify that? Hard in chatbot arena, but where it is easier is in red teaming, because in red teaming, there's an explicit game. You're trying to break the model, you either win or you lose. So what you can do is you can say, Hey, what's really happening here is that the models and humans are playing a game against one another. And then you can use the same sort of Bradley Terry methodology with some, some extensions that we came up with in one of you can read one of our recent blog posts for, for the sort of theoretical extensions. You can attribute like strength back to individual players and jointly attribute strength to like the models that are in this jailbreaking game, along with the target tasks, like what types of jailbreaks you want.Wei Lin [00:22:44]: So yeah.Anastasios [00:22:45]: And I think that this is, this is a hugely important and interesting avenue that we want to continue researching. We have some initial ideas, but you know, all thoughts are welcome.Wei Lin [00:22:54]: Yeah.Alessio [00:22:55]: So first of all, on the code execution, the E2B guys, I'm sure they'll be happy to helpWei Lin [00:22:59]: you.Alessio [00:23:00]: I'll please set that up. They're big fans. We're investors in a company called Dreadnought, which we do a lot in AI red teaming. I think to me, the most interesting thing has been, how do you do sure? Like the model jailbreak is one side. We also had Nicola Scarlini from DeepMind on the podcast, and he was talking about, for example, like, you know, context stealing and like a weight stealing. So there's kind of like a lot more that goes around it. I'm curious just how you think about the model and then maybe like the broader system, even with Red Team Arena, you're just focused on like jailbreaking of the model, right? You're not doing kind of like any testing on the more system level thing of the model where like, maybe you can get the training data back, you're going to exfiltrate some of the layers and the weights and things like that.Wei Lin [00:23:43]: So right now, as you can see, the Red Team Arena is at a very early stage and we are still exploring what could be the potential new games we can introduce to the platform. So the idea is still the same, right? And we build a community driven project platform for people. They can have fun with this website, for sure. That's one thing, and then help everyone to test these models. So one of the aspects you mentioned is stealing secrets, stealing training sets. That could be one, you know, it could be designed as a game. Say, can you still use their credential, you know, we hide, maybe we can hide the credential into system prompts and so on. So there are like a few potential ideas we want to explore for sure. Do you want to add more?Anastasios [00:24:28]: I think that this is great. This idea is a great one. There's a lot of great ideas in the Red Teaming space. You know, I'm not personally like a Red Teamer. I don't like go around and Red Team models, but there are people that do that and they're awesome. They're super skilled. When I think about the Red Team arena, I think those are really the people that we're building it for. Like, we want to make them excited and happy, build tools that they like. And just like chatbot arena, we'll trust that this will end up being useful for the world. And all these people are, you know, I won't say all these people in this community are actually good hearted, right? They're not doing it because they want to like see the world burn. They're doing it because they like, think it's fun and cool. And yeah. Okay. Maybe they want to see, maybe they want a little bit.Wei Lin [00:25:13]: I don't know. Majority.Anastasios [00:25:15]: Yeah.Wei Lin [00:25:16]: You know what I'm saying.Anastasios [00:25:17]: So, you know, trying to figure out how to serve them best, I think, I don't know where that fits. I just, I'm not expressing. And give them credits, right?Wei Lin [00:25:24]: And give them credit.Anastasios [00:25:25]: Yeah. Yeah. So I'm not trying to express any particular value judgment here as to whether that's the right next step. It's just, that's sort of the way that I think we would think about it.Swyx [00:25:35]: Yeah. We also talked to Sander Schulhoff of the HackerPrompt competition, and he's pretty interested in Red Teaming at scale. Let's just call it that. You guys maybe want to talk with him.Wei Lin [00:25:45]: Oh, nice.Swyx [00:25:46]: We wanted to cover a little, a few topical things and then go into the other stuff that your group is doing. You know, you're not just running Chatbot Arena. We can also talk about the new website and your future plans, but I just wanted to briefly focus on O1. It is the hottest, latest model. Obviously, you guys already have it on the leaderboard. What is the impact of O1 on your evals?Wei Lin [00:26:06]: Made our interface slower.Anastasios [00:26:07]: It made it slower.Swyx [00:26:08]: Yeah.Wei Lin [00:26:10]: Because it needs like 30, 60 seconds, sometimes even more to, the latency is like higher. So that's one. Sure. But I think we observe very interesting things from this model as well. Like we observe like significant improvement in certain categories, like more technical or math. Yeah.Anastasios [00:26:32]: I think actually like one takeaway that was encouraging is that I think a lot of people before the O1 release were thinking, oh, like this benchmark is saturated. And why were they thinking that? They were thinking that because there was a bunch of models that were kind of at the same level. They were just kind of like incrementally competing and it sort of wasn't immediately obvious that any of them were any better. Nobody, including any individual person, it's hard to tell. But what O1 did is it was, it's clearly a better model for certain tasks. I mean, I used it for like proving some theorems and you know, there's some theorems that like only I know because I still do a little bit of theory. Right. So it's like, I can go in there and ask like, oh, how would you prove this exact thing? Which I can tell you has never been in the public domain. It'll do it. It's like, what?Wei Lin [00:27:19]: Okay.Anastasios [00:27:20]: So there's this model and it crushed the benchmark. You know, it's just like really like a big gap. And what that's telling us is that it's not saturated yet. It's still measuring some signal. That was encouraging. The point, the takeaway is that the benchmark is comparative. There's no absolute number. There's no maximum ELO. It's just like, if you're better than the rest, then you win. I think that was actually quite helpful to us.Swyx [00:27:46]: I think people were criticizing, I saw some of the academics criticizing it as not apples to apples. Right. Like, because it can take more time to reason, it's basically doing some search, doing some chain of thought that if you actually let the other models do that same thing, they might do better.Wei Lin [00:28:03]: Absolutely.Anastasios [00:28:04]: To be clear, none of the leaderboard currently is apples to apples because you have like Gemini Flash, you have, you know, all sorts of tiny models like Lama 8B, like 8B and 405B are not apples to apples.Wei Lin [00:28:19]: Totally agree. They have different latencies.Anastasios [00:28:21]: Different latencies.Wei Lin [00:28:22]: Control for latency. Yeah.Anastasios [00:28:24]: Latency control. That's another thing. We can do style control, but latency control. You know, things like this are important if you want to understand the trade-offs involved in using AI.Swyx [00:28:34]: O1 is a developing story. We still haven't seen the full model yet, but it's definitely a very exciting new paradigm. I think one community controversy I just wanted to give you guys space to address is the collaboration between you and the large model labs. People have been suspicious, let's just say, about how they choose to A-B test on you. I'll state the argument and let you respond, which is basically they run like five anonymous models and basically argmax their Elo on LMSYS or chatbot arena, and they release the best one. Right? What has been your end of the controversy? How have you decided to clarify your policy going forward?Wei Lin [00:29:15]: On a high level, I think our goal here is to build a fast eval for everyone, and including everyone in the community can see the data board and understand, compare the models. More importantly, I think we want to build the best eval also for model builders, like all these frontier labs building models. They're also internally facing a challenge, which is how do they eval the model? That's the reason why we want to partner with all the frontier lab people, and then to help them testing. That's one of the... We want to solve this technical challenge, which is eval. Yeah.Anastasios [00:29:54]: I mean, ideally, it benefits everyone, right?Wei Lin [00:29:56]: Yeah.Anastasios [00:29:57]: And people also are interested in seeing the leading edge of the models. People in the community seem to like that. Oh, there's a new model up. Is this strawberry? People are excited. People are interested. Yeah. And then there's this question that you bring up of, is it actually causing harm?Wei Lin [00:30:15]: Right?Anastasios [00:30:16]: Is it causing harm to the benchmark that we are allowing this private testing to happen? Maybe stepping back, why do you have that instinct? The reason why you and others in the community have that instinct is because when you look at something like a benchmark, like an image net, a static benchmark, what happens is that if I give you a million different models that are all slightly different, and I pick the best one, there's something called selection bias that plays in, which is that the performance of the winning model is overstated. This is also sometimes called the winner's curse. And that's because statistical fluctuations in the evaluation, they're driving which model gets selected as the top. So this selection bias can be a problem. Now there's a couple of things that make this benchmark slightly different. So first of all, the selection bias that you include when you're only testing five models is normally empirically small.Wei Lin [00:31:12]: And that's why we have these confidence intervals constructed.Anastasios [00:31:16]: That's right. Yeah. Our confidence intervals are actually not multiplicity adjusted. One thing that we could do immediately tomorrow in order to address this concern is if a model provider is testing five models and they want to release one, and we're constructing the models at level one minus alpha, we can just construct the intervals instead at level one minus alpha divided by five. That's called Bonferroni correction. What that'll tell you is that the final performance of the model, the interval that gets constructed, is actually formally correct. We don't do that right now, partially because we know from simulations that the amount of selection bias you incur with these five things is just not huge. It's not huge in comparison to the variability that you get from just regular human voters. So that's one thing. But then the second thing is the benchmark is live, right? So what ends up happening is it'll be a small magnitude, but even if you suffer from the winner's curse after testing these five models, what'll happen is that over time, because we're getting new data, it'll get adjusted down. So if there's any bias that gets introduced at that stage, in the long run, it actually doesn't matter. Because asymptotically, basically in the long run, there's way more fresh data than there is data that was used to compare these five models against these private models.Swyx [00:32:35]: The announcement effect is only just the first phase and it has a long tail.Anastasios [00:32:39]: Yeah, that's right. And it sort of like automatically corrects itself for this selection adjustment.Swyx [00:32:45]: Every month, I do a little chart of Ellim's ELO versus cost, just to track the price per dollar, the amount of like, how much money do I have to pay for one incremental point in ELO? And so I actually observe an interesting stability in most of the ELO numbers, except for some of them. For example, GPT-4-O August has fallen from 12.90

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Stacey: Hi Dr.Cabral , what is your opinion on low dose Ketamine? I know you spoke of it briefly a year or so ago but on not daily low dose, and at that time you were still researching between Ketamine and Psilocybin. What have your findings been ? I'm considering trying low dose ketamine for SEVERE Sensory overload, anxiety & now depression because it's robbing my life . I've been working on root cause , doing protocols, detoxes ect and have improved a lot but that just won't leave and by far the most worst of my symptoms. I tried SSRIs and my body does not like them at all , on Xanax now just to barely function and refuse to go up in dose per my Dr. wanting me to increase dose to help . Hoping your research can help my decision. I'm in CA and I don't think psilocybin is legal here yet .   Audrey: Hi Dr. Cabral, I try to avoid plastics whenever possible but sometimes they are hard to avoid. What about local honey at the farmers market that comes in a plastic bottle? Or drinking chilled water out of a plastic insulated thermos? I know leaching is terrible when the plastic is heated, but curious if the plastic doesn't get hot if it is just as bad. thanks   Anonymous: I tested positive for an STD called Ureaplasma, which is know to cause PID and infertility. I've taken many rounds of antibiotics and it has not gone away. I am also experiencing mild symptoms of urethritis which this is known to cause. I was wondering if there is any natural treatment for STDs or urethritis. I am also wondering if taking biofilms with the next round of antibiotics could help the antibiotics work better?   Sara: Hi Dr. Cabral, I just read your article on alkalized water and was wondering if there is whole home filter you would recommend. I have a small filter under my house and need to replace it. I looked at the AquaTru under sink filter, which looks great, but is there a good option to have a whole house alkalized filter? Thanks! Sara   Cindy: First , thank you for your generosity in sharing your knowledge so freely! I'm always looking for safe alternatives for anti-aging/beauty products in lieu of injectables, etc. Are you familiar with Procell? Procell uses microchanning along with a topically applied serum. According to their website “Procell's Microchannel Delivery Serum contains bone marrow-derived growth factors in a hyaluronic acid suspension. Both of these elements are naturally-occurring in the human body. There are no human, animal, or plant cells, DNA, blood, or any other foreign substances. The product has been used safely and effectively for over a decade.” How does one determine the safety of a product like this? I value your opinion! Is Procell therapy safe? Is microchanneling safe?   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3179 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

No fue una sola muchacha. Fueron cinco mil. Cinco mil muchachas que lo obsesionaron, que le robaron el sueño, que lo lanzaron en una carrera loca. Algunas eran rubias; otras eran morenas; otras, trigueñas; otras, pelirrojas. Unas vestían a la moderna; otras a la antigua. ¿Quiénes eran estas cinco mil muchachas? Eran muñecas, de las llamadas «Barbie», tesoro preciado de Glen Offield. Su afición era coleccionarlas. Pero Scott Sloggett las codició y las robó, después de lo cual incendió la casa de Glen Offield. Luego, horrorizado de su propio hecho, se suicidó tomando una sobredosis de drogas. Hay hombres que pierden la cabeza por una sola mujer, así como los hay que la pierden por muchas mujeres. Este hombre perdió la suya por una colección de cinco mil muñecas, una colección valorada en más de medio millón de dólares. La historia bíblica y secular está llena de amantes célebres: Sansón y Dalila, David y Betsabé, Antonio y Cleopatra, Romeo y Julieta, Don Quijote y Dulcinea. Todas estas parejas son ejemplo del amor humano, de ese amor del hombre y de la mujer que se entregan intensamente al ser amado. Por ese amor dan hasta la vida. Porque al fin de cuentas, el amor es la fuerza más potente del mundo. Ahora bien, el «amor» que Scott Sloggett tenía por las muñecas de Glen Offield no era más que codicia, pues buscaba beneficio monetario. Él quería hacerse rico con una colección que era única. Pero si bien Scott sólo buscaba aumentar sus bienes materiales, muchas son las personas que se abandonan a la lujuria buscando el efímero y voluble placer sensual. Por entregarse al deseo de la carne abandonan esposa, hijos, respeto, conciencia y hasta el alma, no queriendo reconocer que la lascivia es una apetencia que mata. A Scott Sloggett lo abatió la avaricia. Al adúltero lo consume su lujuria. Grande ha sido el amor de los famosos amantes de la historia. Todos ellos le dejaron una valiosa lección a la humanidad: que el amor pasional que se manifiesta en la intimidad fuera del matrimonio —amor que se sale de los linderos establecidos por Dios— produce caos en el individuo, en la familia y en toda la sociedad. Pidámosle a Dios sobriedad. Los que tenemos a Cristo en el corazón y obedecemos sus mandamientos, vivimos en paz. Tenemos, además, la absoluta seguridad de vida eterna. Obedecer a Dios es hallar serenidad. Sus leyes no son penosas, y quienes las obedecemos experimentamos perfecta armonía. Cristo desea ser nuestro Salvador. Hermano PabloUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net

El rosario es un arma poderosa, con este se crea una línea estrecha con la Madre de Dios y madre nuestra. La virgen nos advirtió que el comunismo es intrínsicamente perverso. El Padre Willie nos invita a que con el rosario en la mano roguemos por la paz del mundo. Tener el rosario cerca del corazón es tenerla a ella. Y tenerla a ella es tener a Jesús. Pidámosle por el cese de las guerras.
