This week on the podcast the government is to “get Britain working” - but what role will higher education play in the plans? Plus there are big divides between international and home students in this year's PTES, and proposals for a transformation fund to help universities change what they do and how they work.With Shane Chowen, Editor at FE Week, Roscoe Hastings, Director of Teaching Excellence and Enhancement at University of Exeter, Debbie McVitty, Editor at Wonkhe, MIke Ratcliffe, Academic Registrar at City St George's University of London and presented by Jim Dickinson, Associate Editor at Wonkhe.Getting Britain Working (except for students, as usual)How skills, careers, and industrial policy fit togetherA higher education transformation fund would catalyse university reformAnother year, another PTESWorld Skills Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Forecasting future gains due to post-training enhancements, published by elifland on March 8, 2024 on The AI Alignment Forum. This work has been done in the context of SaferAI's work on risk assessment. Equal contribution by Eli and Joel. I'm sharing this writeup in the form of a Google Doc and reproducing the summary below. Disclaimer: this writeup is context for upcoming experiments, not complete work. As such it contains a lot of (not always well-justified) guess-work and untidy conceptual choices. We are publishing now despite this to get feedback. If you are interested in this work - perhaps as a future collaborator or funder, or because this work could provide helpful input into e.g. risk assessments or RSPs - please get in touch with us at joel@qallys.com and/or simeon@safer-ai.org. Summary A recent report documented how the performance of AI models can be improved after training, via post-training enhancements (PTEs) such as external tools, scaffolding, and fine-tuning. The gain from a PTE is measured in compute-equivalent gains (CEG): the multiplier on training compute required to achieve equivalent performance to a model combined with a PTE. We are interested in understanding the contribution that PTEs make to AI system capabilities over time. This question in turn is motivated by SaferAI's work on quantitative risk assessments of frontier models. In particular, any risk assessment of open-sourcing models or of having closed-source models stolen or leaked should take into account system capabilities, which we might expect to increase over time as PTEs are added to the system built on top of a given base model. We extend a recent analysis of PTEs in order to understand the trend in CEG over time. There are serious limitations in our preliminary analysis, including: problems with the CEG metric, many uninformed parameter estimates, and reliance on an ill-defined "average task". High-priority future work includes running experiments to get more evidence on important uncertainties for our forecasts of capability gains due to PTEs. In particular, we think it will be important to understand how well different PTEs combine, as well as to directly study performance on benchmarks relevant to dangerous capabilities rather than relying on the CEG and average task abstractions. In this write-up, we will: Outline our methodology. ( More.) Present CEG estimates for various PTEs. ( More.) Aggregate total CEG, using subjective estimates of 'composability.' ( More.) Note limitations of our analysis and important future work. ( More.) Thanks for listening. To help us out with The Nonlinear Library or to learn more, please visit nonlinear.org.

This week on the podcast the government is consulting on minimum service levels in education - what could that mean for industrial action in the sector? Plus there's a growing “education divide” in UK politics, Advance HE's 2023 PTES is out, and we're asking if universities need to “go hard or go home” on degree apprenticeships.

On October 31, the Biden Administration rolled out its long-anticipated update to the fiduciary rule. While it's got a new name (the Retirement Security Rule), it builds on and extends the Labor Department's reach by both focusing on the needs and perceptions of the retirement investor and eliminating the “regular basis” aspect of the so-called five-part test that has long been an integral component of what was considered to define an ERISA fiduciary.  In the latest episode Nevin (Adams) and Fred (Reish) consider the historical framework of the ERISA fiduciary definition, how the proposed rule would alter that, and what obstacles lie between that proposal and its ultimate adoption.  EXCLUSIVE Interview on the DOL's Retirement Security Rule with EBSA's Tim Hauser  https://www.napa-net.org/news-info/daily-news/exclusive-interview-dol%E2%80%99s-retirement-security-rule-ebsa%E2%80%99s-tim-hauser  Breaking: Biden Administration Previews Fiduciary Rule Rollout  https://www.napa-net.org/news-info/daily-news/breaking-biden-administration-previews-fiduciary-rule-rollout  Fred Reish's blog posts on different aspects of the DOL proposal:  https://fredreish.com/category/fiduciary/   Links to the proposed guidance, as well as the proposed PTE amendments are below:  Proposed Retirement Security Rule  Proposed Amendment to PTE 2020–02  Proposed Amendment to PTE 84–24  Proposed Amendment to PTEs 75–1, 77–4, 80–83, 83–1, and 86–128 

At the end of last week's episode, I briefly mentioned the idea that boys and girls experience prenatal and postnatal parental stress differently. A listener reached out and asked about that. I embarked on the task of researching this. I did not find much, but what I did find was interesting and worth talking about. I hope it is meaningful to you, and that you can make some sense of it. Men and women experience post-traumatic stress disorder and potential traumatic encounters differently. Diagnostic criteria, types of trauma, and coping strategies are unique in men and women. Listen to this week's podcast for some insight into the new research that explains how and why this is the case. Below are a couple of articles for your reference.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), P.L. 115-97, imposed a $10,000 limitation on individual taxpayers for the deduction of state and local taxes (SALT) for tax years 2018 through 2025. In response, many states enacted laws allowing (or mandating) passthrough entities (PTEs) to pay the taxes at the entity level instead. In November of 2020, the IRS issued Notice 2020-75, which clarified that partnerships and S corporations may deduct their SALT payments at the entity level in computing nonseparately stated taxable income or loss. The notice also indicated that the IRS intends to issue proposed regulations to this effect. While electing a PTE tax election can be very beneficial overall, certain aftereffects — while small alone — when stacked together, may reach a materiality level where it should be second-guessed. On this Tax Section Odyssey episode, David Kirk, CPA, CFP, LLM, Private Tax Leader, National Tax — EY, discusses with April Walker, CPA, CGMA, Lead Manager — Tax Practice & Ethics, AICPA & CIMA, several concerns that could lead to reconsideration of making a PTE election.

*The information in this podcast is intended for Healthcare Practitioners. In this episode, Nathan speaks with George A. Bonanno, a Professor of Clinical Psychology at Columbia University, Teachers College. His research focuses on how people respond to potentially traumatic events, such as disaster, war, assault and life-threatening injury, whether they present with post-traumatic stress disorder or not. These studies have revealed that the natural response to stressful situations is not trauma, but resilience, and as such, we may be underestimating our ability to rebound without suffering long-term consequences. George has authored two books, The Other Side of Sadness: What the New Science of Bereavement Tells Us About Life After Loss and The End of Trauma: How the New Science of Resilience is Changing How We Think About PTSD. Highlights How history has shaped our understanding of trauma (5:00) Recovery patterns following a traumatic episode (11:00) The resilience blind spot (15:30) Potentially traumatic events (PTEs) (17:00) Human stress response capacity (25:00) The resilience paradox (31:00) How to build your resilience (37:00) Future research in the field of resilience (48:00) Useful Links Link to George's book, The End of Trauma: How the New Science of Resilience is Changing How We Think About PTSD (https://www.amazon.com.au/End-Trauma-Science-Resilience-Changing/dp/1541674367/ref=asc_df_1541674367/?tag=googleshopdsk-22&linkCode=df0&hvadid=463537351125&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9253469214087898646&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9112656&hvtargid=pla-1299594669838&psc=1) Link to George's book, The Other Side of Sadness: What the New Science of Bereavement Tells Us About Life After Loss (https://www.amazon.com/dp/0465013600?tag=psychologytod-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1)

The emergence of new court rulings in the U.S. and Canada continues to shape the applicability and scope of the obviousness-type double patenting (ODP) doctrine, which is meant to prevent patentees from unjustly extending patent rights by owning multiple patents on the same invention. Recently, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued two significant decisions - Novartis AG v. Ezra Ventures LLC and Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corp. v. Breckenridge Pharmaceutical Inc. - which provide guidance on when ODP does not invalidate patent term extensions (PTEs). In Canada, where there is no terminal disclaimer, upcoming changes to the Patent Rules will impact procedures commonly used to prevent double patenting. Counsel to patent applicants and owners should be in the know of the recent court rulings and other developments involving ODP to better manage potential threats and opportunities regarding patent term and validity. This Webcast produced by The Knowledge Group will provide patent practitioners with an in-depth analysis of the evolving ODP landscape in the USA and Canada. They will examine the implications of recent U.S. Court rulings in Ezra and Breckenridge and other ODP updates while offering insights on how to best protect a client's interests from significant ODP issues in the U.S. and Canada.
