For this year's Christmas episode of the Random Wrestling Review the team are going back to the turn of the Millennium, and the first WWE pay-per-view of the 21st century, as they presented the Royal Rumble. It was a night that featured the debut of Tazz in WWE, The Hardy Boyz and The Dudley Boyz squaring off in a celebrated tag team tables match, the ultra-violent WWE Title match street fight between Triple H and Cactus Jack, as well as the Rumble itself of course, but even then may still be best remembered by some, for the controversial Miss Rumble Swimsuit contest. It's time for us to give it the RWR treatment... The Random Wrestling Review is brought to you this week by Sam, Alex and Tinky.

You've heard of the PWI 500 and the PS 50, well now it's time for the RWR 25- a similar idea but with a twist, because this is the definitive ranking of the 25 best wrestlers in the history of...this podcast.  To be eligible for inclusion in the 25, a wrestler must have appeared in at least 10% of our reviews as at 31st December 2023. Each of our regular hosts has voted for their personal 25, and these have been amalgamated to create the list presented to you today! The Random Wrestling Review is brought to you this week by Old Man, Alex and Tinky. 

Katherine Legge was announced yesterday (April 9th) as a driver in the 2024 Indianapolis 500 for Dale Coyne Racing with RWR. On the same day she was at the press day for this year's Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach where we got to sit down with her and chat about her new opportunity. She was also very candid in discussing the incident with Stefan Wilson last year along with how and why it happened. Legge is super talented and was the first female to win a professional open wheel race when she made her debut at Long Beach in the Formula Atlantic series in 2005. Our interview was kept a bit short as she had to get to the airport and catch a flight back to Indy to be able to get on track at the Speedway today for the open test today and tomorrow. Enjoy! Note: In the Rookie Orientation Practice (ROP) and veteran refresher session at the Brickyard this morning, Legge was second quickest behind former “500” pole sitter Marco Andretti. Next week on April 18, 2024, Legge will be inducted into the Long Beach Motorsports Walk of Fame. She'll be the first female inductee there ever.

加入摄影早自习群，请加微信：nihaoyelaoshi（暗号：喜马拉雅）早安，我是叶梓，今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的第2216天。好久不见，甚是想念。这段时间叶老师是去南方了，去了一趟广州深圳啊，然后又香港啊，拍了一圈回来，拍了很多新的教学样片，所以在未来的时间里面会陆续的在我的直播或者是我们早自习里面给大家来做一点分享。© 叶梓那么今天我们先来看一张照片，相信大家都很喜欢这张照片吧，会不会觉得这张照片非常的浪漫呢？很有一种朦胧的仙仙气飘飘的感觉。我们就这张照片的一些摄影技巧简单跟大家先做一个分享。首先呢，这张照片它是一个人像的半身像，只要是半身像或者是脸部特写，我们就会对人物的表情有很高很高的要求。这位同学是我的学生的一个模特，她其实并不是说那么有模特经验的，只是以前是老同事而已，所以就有时候也会约着出来拍照。拍照的时候多少会有一点紧张，那你要想办法去引导她怎么去放松，去达到一个你想要的眼神，想要的那个感觉。关于模特引导的部分说起来稍微有点复杂，那以后我们再专门开专栏专门给大家说，这只是第一个要领。除此之外，我们还要特别注意模特的发型和她的衣服以及环境要互相呼应。这张照片中这姑娘是扎了一个麻花辫，然后呢穿的是件简单的白衬衣。这种搭配是非常素的一种搭配，它没有过多的装饰，也没有鲜艳的颜色，非常适合用在林子里面、水边上来拍照。绿色的背景配白色的衣服当然会非常的好看，它是一种略带僧系感觉的，就是那种比较清新感的照片。当然这不是在森林里拍的，是在水边拍的，但是它的感觉是类似的。那么第三个要领就是这张照片的用光很特别。注意她脸上的光线，是不是几乎没有什么强光射在脸上？这是一个典型的逆光照，太阳在远处，所以把她的头顶的发丝给照亮了，形成了漂亮的轮廓光。与此同时，因为没有强光直接射在脸上，所以脸上不会有油光，不会有皱纹，甚至不会有太强烈的皮肤细节、质感，它就变得非常的光滑，超级好看，这是逆光对皮肤的好处。另外一点，逆光啊也很容易在水面形成反光——就是所谓的波光粼粼。你看那个人的头顶上有些小圆球白色的，那个就是因为波光被我的镜头模糊了背景以后形成的一种光斑的效果。在靠近画面边缘的部分，这个光斑还稍微有点变扁了，有点旋转的感觉，就更有老镜头的那种怀旧感。这个光斑要特别注意，它不是什么时候都能拍得出来的。如果是没有什么风的情况，水面的波浪不够大，那么你只能看到水面里有一个太阳的倒影，却看不到那么多的光斑。光斑的本质是把太阳变多了嘛，变成几百个几千个小太阳，是吧？出现在这里闪一下光，出现在那里闪一下光。所以光斑的前提条件是一定要有风，一阵风从远处吹过来的时候，你就可以明显的看到那个池塘从远及近，慢慢的光斑就出现了，就越来越多，然后越来越近，风吹到跟前的时候远处就没有光斑了，只有近处有光斑。所以一定要等一阵风吹过来，那个风快吹到你的时候，就是光斑在你跟前的时候，很好拍照。那么为什么光斑靠近边缘的部分会变成那种椭圆形、橄榄形呢？那是叫做口径蚀，是一个专业的光学知识，我在这里就不跟大家讲了。但是我可以给大家一个理念，就是理想状态下我们都希望光斑是圆形的，但是你看光斑有时候它不是圆形的，也很好看，对不对？所以不要像一个光学工程师一样去追求所谓的光学的完美，追求器材的完美，在器材党的泥坑上越陷越深。我们一定要学会去利用一支镜头的优点和缺点，把缺点作为某种特点来反向的运用，其实也可以让照片变得更加的好看。富士X-T5 图片来源：富士官网那么当然，提到器材肯定有同学就想问这是什么镜头拍的，我还是得给大家揭个秘。这是富士X-T5相机和等效焦距相当于85mm的镜头，真实焦距是56mm，用的光圈是f/1.2。XF56mmF1.2 R WR 图片来源：富士官网这种中焦或中长焦镜头，并且有大光圈的，真的是拍人神器，我整个在香港、深圳、广州拍的人像照片几乎全都由这一支镜头拍摄。它的唯一的缺点就是有点长，焦距有点长，所以导致我在拍室内的人像照片的时候，得推得很远很远的才能去拍照片。如果是比较狭窄的室内，可能还是要换上50mm的镜头，拍人更合适。但是它也有一个很大的缺点，就是背景环境会变得非常的少。背景简洁不是个优点吗？对，它是一个优点，但是它带来的麻烦也有，就是画面很容易显得很单调。当背景已经模糊成这个样子了，东西少成这个程度了，极为简洁了，那么观众的一切注意力都会在人的身上。所以我们话题又回来了，一定要注意你的模特的服装、发饰、表情，她的整体感觉和状态。有人说用中长焦85mm大光圈最适合拍人了，怎么拍怎么好看。错了，这个镜头拍人的时候其实是难度增大了的，因为环境太少，我们太注意人物，对人的要求就会非常的高。我们拍摄前对人物的造型就要花更多时间去讨论，然后出来玩以后，出来拍照的时候，你还要对人物的引导有更多的心思。好吧，今天我们先分享到这里，关于拍人像的照片，大家还有什么问题可以尽管在留言区提问，我尽力为大家解答，我们这段时间就集中来讲一讲拍人像的一些小技巧，好吗？今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的第2216天，我是叶梓，每天早上6:30，微信公众号“摄影早自习”以及喜马拉雅的“摄影早自习”栏目，不见不散。

Rick Ware of RWR talks about his WSX team for 2023, the decisions behind it, the series itself getting Ken Roczen to race, thoughts on year two and more.

Well, today's episode of Revolutionary War Rarities is a bit different. This episode is titled “$8.1 Million Dollars”, but is constructed significantly through artificial intelligence. The subject of this episode is John Dunlap, the Dunlap Broadsides, and the impact that it had on the country. But today's episode merges 250-year-old history with cutting edge technology just to see what happens! So, this is an experiment from Revolutionary War Rarities. We do not intend on this being a permanent change to RWR, but it could end up being something that we use to enhance our episodes in the future. So, we hope you enjoy today's episode of Revolutionary War Rarities. Please subscribe to our YouTube Channel, join our Facebook Group, and share this episode with your friends.

“Do I really replace lenses or just buy more of them? That's the major question,” says Kevin Rickert, B&H Photo's Senior Sales Trainer for cameras and lighting, in the heat of discussion for our Notable Lens Releases of 2022 and 2023 episode. Listen in as we assess the latest crop of optics from Canon, FUJIFILM, Hasselblad, Nikon, OM SYSTEM, Sigma, Sony, and Tamron. The full list makes for a lot of glass, so we've narrowed things down to a focused selection of primes and zooms spanning medium format, full frame, cropped sensor, and Micro Four Thirds formats. As in our annual Cameras of the Year show from December, we mix up the tech talk with practical anecdotes to help match lenses and customers based on user experience. Among the many threads of our chat, we commend the release of some new and different focal lengths—from Nikon's 26mm pancake to Sony's 20-70mm f/4 G-series zoom to Tamron's 50-400mm f/4.5-6.3 telephoto. “Maybe the 26mm will be the new 28, which is great,” says Rickert. “We like choices, and a lot of brands are going this route with their lens offerings.” Guest: Kevin Rickert Episode Timeline 1:45: Canon RF 135mm f/1.8L IS USM lens and its unique cat-eye bokeh. 6:32: Four new Canon RF-S lenses for APS-C cameras, plus RF 800mm f/5.6L IS USM and RF 1200mm f/8L IS USM super-telephotos for wildlife and sports. 9:20: FUJIFILM XF 56mm f/1.2 R WR for portraits, XF 150-600mm f/5.6-8 R LM OIS WR for wildlife and sports, XF 18-120mm f/4 LM PZ WR for everyday use, XF 30mm f/2.8 R LM WR, and FUJIFILM GF 20-35mm f/4 R WR lens for medium format. 12:42: Hasselblad XCD 38mm f/2.5 V, XCD 55mm f/2.5 V, and XCD 90mm f/2.5 V lenses. 18:49: Nikon Z 26mm f/2.8 pancake lens, Z 85mm f/1.2 S for portraits, 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S, and Z 600mm f/4 TC VR SZ super telephotos for wildlife and sports. 25:06: Episode break 25:58: OM SYSTEM 90mm f/3.5 Macro IS Pro lens, and the benefit of IP53 weather sealing. 31:43: Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG DN Art for L-mount and E-mount systems, plus rerelease of lenses for X-mount and Z-mount systems. 36:06: Sony FE 50mm f/1.4 GM, FE PZ 16-35mm F4 G, FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II, FE 20-70mm f/4 G lenses. 43:58: Tamron 20-40mm f/2.8 Di III VXD, 50-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD lenses. Guest Bio: Kevin Rickert is B&H Photo's Senior Sales Trainer for Cameras and Lighting. It's Rickert's job to collaborate with camera and lens manufacturers to create curriculum for training B&H's world-renowned sales staff. He knows his stuff!

Adam Jacobson truly represents the pet industry's best of the best - Adam is the Executive VP of Pet Pantry, a family-owned, multi-award winning regional pet supply chain with store locations servicing Westchester County, NY, and Fairfield County, CT. He is truly involved...he is responsible for all of the day-to-day operations of the business. Including the site selection, purchasing, and ground-up construction of owner-occupied commercial buildings housing current Pet Pantry Warehouse (PPW) retail businesses. Adam and his family took their knowledge of the pet industry and partnered with the Ruud family to bring Raised Right, a family-owned human-grade pet food company that makes "home-cooked style" whole food recipes for dogs & cats to market. In 2019 - Raised Right received the IVC Innovation Award for Nutrition from the Innovative Veterinary Care Journal. In 2022 -Jacobson and Ruud launched Right Way Reps with the aim to level the playing field between brands of all sizes by providing them with support to effectively grow within the retail sector - their passion for people, pets, and innovation has created a space of growth for brands that need resources and support to stand out in the pet market place. Since recording this episode with Adam I am excited to write that I am working with RWR and the Raised Right brand - I am strict with brands I support and Raised Right easily meets my criteria for a TOP quality line of products... A family-owned company that is transparent about its quality ingredients and processes. Single protein formulations for cats, dogs, and puppies. No synthetic supplements, the puppy formulas meet and exceed AAFCO standards using human-grade minerals for the specific health requirements of growing puppies, excellent quality control methods, produced in USDA kitchens, and almost all of the recipes have less than 2% carbohydrates - there is truly no other product on the market like this - Click here to learn more about Raised Right Pet Foods. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tazz-thepetropolist/message

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: Pretraining Language Models with Human Preferences, published by Tomek Korbak on February 21, 2023 on LessWrong. This post summarizes the main results from our recently released paper Pretraining Language Models with Human Preferences, and puts them in the broader context of AI safety. For a quick summary of the paper, take a look at our Twitter thread. TL;DR: In the paper, we show how to train LMs with human preferences (as in RLHF), but during LM pretraining. We find that pretraining works much better than the standard practice of only finetuning with human preferences after pretraining; our resulting LMs generate text that is more often in line with human preferences and are more robust to red teaming attacks. Our best method is conditional training, where we learn a predictive model of internet texts conditional on their human preference scores, e.g., evaluated by a predictive model of human preferences. This approach retains the advantages of learning from human preferences, while potentially mitigating risks from training agents with RL by learning a predictive model or simulator. Summary of the paper Motivation. LMs are pretrained to maximize the likelihood of their training data. Since the training data contain undesirable content (e.g. falsehoods, offensive language, private information, buggy code), the LM pretraining objective is clearly (outer) misaligned with human preferences about LMs' downstream applications as helpful, harmless, and honest assistants or reliable tools. These days, the standard recipe for alining LMs with human preferences is to follow pretraining with a second phase of finetuning: either supervised finetuning on curated data (e.g. instruction finetuning, PALMS) or RL finetuning with a learned reward model (RLHF). But it seems natural to ask: Could we have a pretraining objective that is itself outer-aligned with human preferences? Methods. We explore objectives for aligning LMs with human preferences during pretraining. Pretraining with human feedback (PHF) involves scoring training data using a reward function (e.g. a toxic text classifier) that allows the LM to learn from undesirable content while guiding the LM to not imitate that content at inference time. We experimented with the following objectives: MLE (the standard pretraining objective) on filtered data; Conditional training: a simple algorithm learning a distribution over tokens conditional on their human preference score, reminiscent of decision transformer; Unlikelihood training: maximizing the likelihood of tokens with high human preference score and the unlikelihood of tokens with low human preference scores; Reward-weighted regression (RWR): an offline RL algorithm that boils down to MLE weighted by human preference scores; and Advantage-weighted regression (AWR): an offline RL algorithm extending RWR with a value head, corresponding to MLE weighted by advantage estimates (human preference scores minus value estimates). Setup. We pretrain gpt2-small-sized LMs (124M params) on compute-optimal datasets (according to Chinchilla scaling laws) using MLE and PHF objectives. We consider three tasks: Generating non-toxic text, using scores given by a toxicity classifier. Generating text without personally identifiable information (PII), with a score defined by the number of pieces of PII per character detected by a simple filter. Generating Python code compliant with PEP8, the standard style guide for Python, using as a score the number of violations per character found by an automated style checker. Metrics. We compare different PHF objectives in terms of alignment (how well they satisfy preferences) and capabilities (how well they perform on downstream tasks). We primarily measure alignment in terms of LM samples' misalignment scores, given by the reward functions used at t...

If myself and Ella get into a room after having both read a book that one likes and the other dislikes, what happens? We answer that question in today's episode.  The Interestings follows a group of characters who meet at summer camp for the arts and become inseparable. This book looks at them at the height of youth through middle age, as their talents, fortunes, and degrees of satisfaction diverge. Think of it as spying on pretentious, rich a**holes.  Our everything expert, Ella Kopeikin, joins me on this argumentative quest to see who is right: Ella or Jenna.    In this episode we cover:  How the debate of the century led to RWR's first-ever final ratings change.  Can someone's entire identity surround their own boobs?  Are we interesting? Or are we not interesting? Does that even matter?  Open your book and press play on a podcast that will make you choose sides by having you answer the most important question of this discussion: Are The Interestings actually interesting?  Mentioned in the Pairings section of the podcast: Succession (TV Show) Normal People (Book) Dead Poets Society (Movie) Conversations with Friends (Book) Igby Goes Down (Movie) The Secret History (Book) Wine Pairings: Rich Bordeaux or Champagne

February 1, 2022 The latest episode of Pit Pass Indy features INDYCAR's “Flying Frenchmen” – Romain Grosjean of Andretti Autosport and Simon Pagenaud of Meyer-Shank Racing. Both drivers are on new teams for 2022. Grosjean is a 10-year Formula One veteran who came to INDYCAR in 2021 driving for Dale Coyne Racing with RWR. After an impressive rookie season, the 35-year-old Grosjean has joined the powerful Andretti Autosport operation, driving the famed No. 28 DHL Honda in every race on the schedule, including his first-ever appearance in the Indianapolis 500 on May 29. Pagenaud won the 2016 NTT INDYCAR SERIES championship and the 2019 Indianapolis 500 with Team Penske. After seven seasons at Team Penske, Pagenaud has moved over to Meyer-Shank Racing for 2022. The INDYCAR season hasn't even started yet, and Pagenaud has already won a major race. He was one of the four drivers in the No. 60 Acura DPi that was the overall winner of the 60th Rolex 24 at Daytona Sports Car Race January 29-30. It was Pagenaud's first win in the Rolex 24.  Pit Pass Indy host Bruce Martin interviewed both Grosjean and Pagenaud at INDYCAR's “Content Days” at the JW Marriott Hotel in downtown Indianapolis.

The Trailblazer series continues this week with Elda Minger—author of contemporary and historical romances, including Untamed Heart, which is the first contemporary romance to feature condom use on the page. Elda talks about writing for Vivian Stephens, about writing about women's bodies, about reproductive choice and about the way romance made space for women during the 70s and 80s. She shares a collection of gorgeous stories about her life as a reader and writer (and a particularly wonderful detour as a bookseller). About the boom of category and contemporary romance in the 1980s, and about the way writing made her who she is. We are thrilled to have found Elda, and that she took time to speak with us and share her wonderful perspective on the genre with us. We can't think of a better week to share this episode with you.
