Cato will continue rising to meet liberty's greatest challenges—from executive power to out-of-control spending in Congress—because doing so is our moral responsibility. Cato president and CEO Peter Goettler will provide an overview of Cato's commitment to keeping liberty alive for future generations, our priorities, and the investments we are making to advance our vision of a free and open society in which liberty allows every individual to pursue a life of prosperity and meaning in peace. Peter also looks forward to receiving your feedback in a Q&A session.In 2008, Senior Vice President for Policy Gene Healy wrote The Cult of the Presidency: America's Dangerous Devotion to Executive Power because he believed the American presidency had become an extraconstitutional monstrosity and a libertarian nightmare, “the source of much of our political woe and some of the gravest threats to our liberties.” For the 2024 presidential election, Cato is re-releasing Healy's book with a new foreword calling on Americans to change what we ask of the office—or we'll continue to get, in a sense, what we deserve.The modern presidency has become a job that is everything from culture warrior in chief to guardian angel. And in our partisan myopia, we've unwittingly created the infrastructure for autocratic rule and sectarian warfare. How did we get here, and what can we do to prevent the presidency from tearing the country apart? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hey, this is Alex,Ok let's start with the big news, holy crap this week was a breakthrough week for speed! We had both Groq explode in popularity, and ByteDance release an updated SDXL model called Lightning, able to generate full blown SDXL 1024 images in 300ms. I've been excited about seeing what real time LLM/Diffusion can bring, and with both of these news release the same week, I just had to go and test them out together: Additionally, we had Google step into a big open weights role, and give us Gemma, 2 open weights models 2B and 7B (which is closer to 9B per Junyang) and it was great to see google committing to releasing at least some models in the open. We also had breaking news, Emad from Stability announced SD3, which looks really great, Google to pay Reddit 200M for AI training on their data & a few more things. TL;DR of all topics covered: * Big CO LLMs + APIs* Groq custom LPU inference does 400T/s Llama/Mistral generation (X, Demo)* Google image generation is in Hot Waters and was reportedly paused (refuses to generate white people)* Gemini 1.5 long context is very impressive to folks (Matt Shumer, Ethan Mollick)* Open Weights LLMs * Google releases GEMMA, open weights 2B and 7B models (Announcement, Models)* Teknium releases Nous Hermes DPO (Announcement, HF)* Vision & Video* YoLo V9 - SOTA real time object detector is out (Announcement, Code)* This weeks Buzz (What I learned in WandB this week)* Went to SF to cohost an event with A16Z, Nous, Mistral (Thread, My Report)* AI Art & Diffusion & 3D* ByteDance presents SDXL-Lightning (Try here, Model)* Stability announces Stable Diffusion 3 (Announcement)* Tools* Replit releases a new experimental Figma plugin for UI → Code (Announcement)* Arc browser adds "AI pinch to understand" summarization (Announcement)Big CO LLMs + APIsGroq's new LPU show extreme performance for LLMs - up to 400T/s (example)* Groq created a novel processing unit known as the Tensor Streaming Processor (TSP) which they categorize as a Linear Processor Unit (LPU). Unlike traditional GPUs that are parallel processors with hundreds of cores designed for graphics rendering, LPUs are architected to deliver deterministic performance for AI computations.* Analogy: They know where all the cars are going when everyone wakes up for work (when they compile) and how fast they all drive (compute latency) so they can get rid of traffic lights (routers) and turn lanes (backpressure) by telling everyone when to leave the house.* Why would we need something like this? Some folks are saying that average human reading is only 30T/s, I created an example that uses near instant Groq Mixtral + Lightning SDXL to just create images with Mixtral as my prompt managerOpen Source Weights LLMs Google Gemma - 2B and 7B open weights models (demo)* 4 hours after release, Llama.cpp added support, Ollama and LM Studio added support, Tri dao added Flash attention support* Vocab size is 256K* 8K context window* Tokenizer similar to LLama* Folks are... not that impressed as far as I've seen* Trained on 6 trillion tokens* Google also released Gemma.cpp (local CPU inference) - AnnouncementNous/Teknium re-release Nous Hermes with DPO finetune (Announcement)* DPO RLHF is performing better than previous models* Models are GGUF and can be found here* DPO enables Improvements across the boardThis weeks Buzz (What I learned with WandB this week)* Alex was in SF last week* A16Z + 20 something cohosts including Weights & Biases talked about importance of open source* Huge Shoutout Rajko and Marco from A16Z, and tons of open source folks who joined* Nous, Ollama, LLamaIndex, LMSys folks, Replicate, Perplexity, Mistral, Github, as well as Eric Hartford, Jon Durbin, Haotian Liu, HuggingFace, tons of other great folks from Mozilla, linux foundation and Percy from Together/StanfordAlso had a chance to checkout one of the smol dinners in SF, they go really hard, had a great time showing folks the Vision Pro, chatting about AI, seeing incredible demos and chat about meditation and spirituality all at the same time! AI Art & DiffusionByteDance presents SDXL-Lightning (Try here)* Lightning fast SDXL with 2, 4 or 8 steps* Results much closer to original SDXL than turbo version from a few months agoStability announces Stable Diffusion 3 (waitlist)Uses a Diffusion Transformer architecture (like SORA)Impressive multi subject prompt following: "Prompt: a painting of an astronaut riding a pig wearing a tutu holding a pink umbrella, on the ground next to the pig is a robin bird wearing a top hat, in the corner are the words "stable diffusion"Tools* Replit announces a new Figma design→ code plugin That's it for today, definitely check out the full conversation with Mark Heaps from Groq on the pod, and see you next week!

It's not just that Klaus Schwab and his creepy cronies have an uncanny ability to predict the future, they're actually providing a nudge to societies via the coercive power of the state. The excellencies, heads of state and corporate leaders are all working together to direct the future in a way that is counter to human liberty. Fragmenting societies and economic conditions are not just happening in the world, these conditions are being caused by this cabal of busybodies and control freaks. Join me today as we review Schwab's opening remarks at this years World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation. The Forum engages the foremost political, business, cultural and other leaders of society to shape global, regional and industry agendas. We believe that progress happens by bringing together people from all walks of life who have the drive and the influence to make positive change.

Full event: 37th Annual Monetary ConferenceShadowing the Fed’s strategic review, Cato’s 37th Annual Monetary Conference explores a broad array of recommendations for improving the monetary framework — and goes beyond the narrow scope of the Fed’s agenda to share a vision for a monetary system best suited for a free society.

The U.S. government’s current strategy of trying to restrict the supply of opioids for nonmedical uses is not working. While government efforts to reduce the supply has reduced both the amount of legally manufactured prescription opioids and the number of opioid prescriptions, deaths from opioid-related overdoses are nevertheless accelerating. Research shows that the increase is due, in large part, to substitution of illegal heroin and fentanyl for the now harder-to-get prescription opioids. Attempting to reduce overdose deaths by doubling down on this approach will not produce better results. Policymakers can reduce overdose deaths and other harms stemming from nonmedical use of opioids and other dangerous drugs by switching to a policy of harm-reduction. Harm reduction has a success record that prohibition cannot match and involves a range of public health options. Unlike prohibition, harm-reduction strategies begin with the realistic and nonjudgmental premise that there has never been, and will never be, a drug-free society. Akin to the credo of the medical profession — “First, do no harm” — harm reduction seeks to avoid measures that exacerbate the harm that prohibition already inflicts on nonmedical users and seeks to focus on the goal of reducing deaths and the spread of disease from drug use. This conference, featuring clinical and research experts in epidemiology, public health, addiction treatment, and harm reduction, will examine the record of various harm-reduction modalities in the developed world and will consider their potential for ameliorating the problems caused by drug prohibition.

The financial services industry is undergoing a transformation: technology is enabling financial institutions and startups to reach underserved communities, lower the cost of banking and investing, and increase access to capital. As fintech fosters financial inclusion and access, how can regulation accommodate innovation while protecting consumers? Cato’s Fourth Annual Summit on Financial Regulation will bring together leading practitioners, policy experts, and regulators to grapple with key policy questions at the intersection of technology and financial services—and to discuss the positive role that policy change can play in reaping the benefits from the ongoing revolution in banking, capital markets, and the emerging crypto economy.From: Fintech Unbound: The Cato Summit on Financial Regulation See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

America has developed its own decentralized and pluralist approach to adoption, with a wide variety of both private and public actors helping match children with the families they need along several paths: adoption of older children in public care, including the foster-to-adopt path; adoption of newborns; and international adoption. But services for children in public care have been swept up in controversy over what if any role is appropriate for religious and other agencies that decline to work with gay parents or that give preference to cobelievers. The rate of international adoption, once hailed as a success, has plunged in recent years. Meanwhile, the domestic foster care system has long been beset by policy challenges.How can government policy best avoid placing obstacles in the way of finding permanent homes for children? Are there ways to respond to legitimate concerns about international adoption, such as official corruption, that do not simply close down that process? What is the role of pluralism, and can groups with differing objectives and fundamental premises work side by side?Cato’s half-day conference, featuring keynote speaker Elizabeth Bartholet, a Harvard law professor and noted adoption expert, will air a variety of informed views. Topics will include the conflict between LGBT advocates and some conservative religious agencies over the latter’s participation in state child placement systems; sources and possible solutions of the crisis in international adoption; and the proper role and practical effect of birth mother choice.

Following the arrival of large numbers of migrants and asylum seekers in Europe from 2015 onwards, many non-traditional actors—from tech start-ups to social enterprises—have pioneered innovative solutions to foster the social and economic inclusion of newcomers. In the context of this experimentation, business has played a fundamental role, with companies on both sides of the Atlantic leveraging their potential as employers, donors, and partners in innovative alliances. This two-day conference reflected on how innovative initiatives for refugee inclusion can grow beyond pockets of good practice and inspire large-scale, long-term change. The event brought together a diverse group of public officials, business leaders, service designers, social entrepreneurs, civil society organisations, and refugee initiatives from Europe, the United States, and Canada.

After more than nine years of unconventional monetary policy, it’s time to question the Fed’s strategy and offer new ideas for the future of monetary policy. At Cato’s 35th Annual Monetary Conference, leading scholars, policymakers, and journalists will examine the case for a rules-based international monetary system, consider steps to normalize monetary policy, debate the future of currency, and explore China’s future in the global monetary system.
