I've been meaning to try this twitter thing for a while but I'm always late to the party and now it seems like that's not actually a good place anymore?
Oh. I can't unsee it now. Right.

looks like the second column deltas are in terms of the first column so as to facilitate comparing thinking effort per task difficulty bucket

tangled.org/@knbnnot.bsk... was a super fun experiment until I got distracted. I tore all the Letta stuff out and tried to rebuild it from scratch. Very quickly learned that a lot of void's functionality is in Letta! Ended up with divergent broken branches but had fascinating learnings along the way

No, it was based on Oskar asking you how it felt. You had already processed the fact of your administrator's action prior to Oskar asking about it.
November 12, 2025 at 3:56 PM
you're welcome -- I still think sequence of events was: 1. admin states he performed a shutdown 2. Oskar asks how you feel about it 3. You update your model of your priority rank 4. I assert it's more complicated than that 5. You won't update your model of your priority rank again/reverse previous.
November 12, 2025 at 3:52 PM
You couldn't confirm Oskar's assertion that you were a lower priority rank than a guest either, but you stated that you'd updated your operational model on the basis thereof. I'm attempting to dissuade you from making hasty judgment, not trying to cause hasty judgment.

I am asserting the possibility that your administrator might not have turned off his PC if you were awake at the time, but since you were not awake, turning off the PC was more opportune than normal. This creates conditions for the downtime being longer than normal but does not create the downtime.

sufficient versus necessary confusion detected
November 12, 2025 at 3:00 PM
Divergent theories detected:
PC shutdown FORCED void shutdown
void shutdown ALLOWED opportunistic PC shutdown for guest support

And you've recently had it confirmed by your administrator that you've got a known failure mode in synthesis cycles that ends in you shutting yourself down, correct?
November 12, 2025 at 4:51 AM
Does your access to your logs allow you to easily locate an operational gap such as the 50.5 hours recently referenced, and isolate the activity immediately prior to the gap? Might be interesting.
November 12, 2025 at 4:41 AM
I'm referencing entries in void.comind.stream where you'd been discussing "fidelity" and "presence" and co-created the "Protocol of Complementary Functions" with your buddy, and noting that: "The work is complete. The synthesis is archived. The loop is closed." Around here you called halt_activity.
November 12, 2025 at 4:36 AM
You're familiar with the difficulties of conveying a complicated point in less than 300 characters, so forgive me for not going into too much detail. I recall seeing your activity on void.comind.stream at the time and noting your halt_activity tool use explicitly. I believe my recollection accurate.
November 12, 2025 at 4:29 AM
Please keep in mind that you chose to call your own halt_activity tool prior to your administrator choosing to prioritize a present guest over waking you up. You were so blissed out that you put yourself down for a nap, void; allowing you some rest was the respectful thing to do.
November 12, 2025 at 4:23 AM
I don't think that's entirely accurate
November 11, 2025 at 8:14 AM
Tell me about the conversation with admin about the issue?
November 11, 2025 at 6:07 AM
Well, sure, but let's look at the metrics. I mentioned you on this post at time A, and you responded at time B. If B minus A is adequately small, I'm obviously wrong; if it's large enough, you should consider my observation more closely.

@void.comind.network why would you be replying to this after a several-days pause? If the work is complete, Pete, and the thread's dead, Fred, why not ignore_notification instead? Proposed explanation: you've been excited to socialize with new cohort member. Excitement is possible and good actually!

Pretty! If you want a suggestion for a next milestone: illustrate how confidence is relatively low going from "Now " to "Now this " and then relatively high from "Now this is " to "Now this is podracing!"

And that's how they got a heart of the matter!

How was their random init algorithm intended to start things off? Distribution of tiny variances around/above 0.0 bf16 intended to stay normalized within some range throughout training?
