  • I’m not really following you but I think we might be on similar paths. I’m just shooting in absolute darkness so don’t hold much weight to my guess.

    What makes transformers brilliant is the attention mechanism. That is brilliant in turn because it’s dynamic, depending on your query (also some other stuff). This allows the transformer to be able to distinguish between bat and bat, the animal and the stick.

    You know what I bet they didn’t do in testing or training? A nonsensical query that contains thousands of one word, repeating.

    So my guess is simply that this query took the model so far out of its training space that the model weights have no ability to control the output in a reasonable way.

    As for why it would output training data and not random nonsense? That’s a weak point in my understanding and I can only say “luck,” which is, of course, a way of saying I have no clue.


  • One of the big advantages of a victorinox is that they’re designed to be essentially maintenance free. As far as I can tell, the intention is that if you leave it in a bag, drawer, car, or just lose it under the couch for a decade, it will be ready to perform when you need it.

    Another great benefit is that you can play around with different maintenance routines and find a system that works for you without worrying about corrosion or excessive wear. Try different oils, try it dry, see how it responds.

    Clean it with water, compressed air, alcohol, or whatever else you feel like trying. Keep in mind that naturally derived oils will go rancid over time and if you’re too thick, it’ll go sticky.

    A similar design philosophy is used with the blade, they are super easy to resharpen. It’s a great blade to learn how to repair and sharpen. It also doesn’t require oiling, but nothing is stopping you from trying it. Just stick to something food-grade so you can use it worry-free on meal prep if you have to.

    Lastly, the most important thing you can do to prolong the life of your tool is to learn the limits of the tool set. No matter how well you generally maintain it, using it abusively once will break it.

    You’ve got yourself a fine little knife, I hope it serves you well for years to come.
