RLCD, not defined in the article, is Reinforcement Learning for Calibrated Decisions.

Yeah the calibration is really what makes it useful in practice for quick, small decisions. Asking a LLM to give scores to a problem will yield inconsistently scaled/anchored results that changes at a whim. The blog is pretty heavy on statistics. I'll have to study it more when I have time. Is it essentially bootstrapping results to statistically normalize the answers?
