Steering vectors can work as activation oracles! Inspired by @isolyth.dev 's recent work on instruct vectors, I've ported the same approach to create Activation Oracles. Seems to work surprisingly well given the param deficit, nearly matching Activation Oracle LoRA performance.

to the enlightened mind all things are factorio

non-square microscaling float formats were a mistake and should never have been made.

Anyone have a favorite model of burnout, executive function, akrasia, exhaustion, inertia, spoons, mana etc. that treats activation energy as a minimal energy level without treating it as spent, or otherwise doesn't use a global energy meter? n=1 anecdotes fine!

oh dear, you've imported some of the horrors of GPU shared memory/LDS swizzling to CPU land.

yeah.

my shader export compression is mightily broken and the effect is eerily reminiscent of trying to make out details in a night sky obscured by light pollution, except the sky now has intermittent complex transforms darting across its surface

The OLMo fully open foundation models are probably not going to get new revisions. Pretty sad as they were one of the few true open source options - mostly 'open weights' models don't share training recipes or data and are more like freeware.

lunnova.dev now has embedded bluesky comments support! Idea stolen from @gracekind.net , went for a different style that tries to look more like bsky posts embedded into a page rather than inline discussion that's native to the site. Will probably tweak it more over the next day or so.

I'm disappointed by the FSF's recent post which called Anubis malware. Their new stance where they decry proof of work as blanket bad does not fit their historic stances on technology which can be used for legitimate and unwanted usecases. lunnova.dev/articles/fsf...
