Without entropy, the laws of physics are time-reversible. You can watch a video of colliding billiard balls and not know whether it is running forward or backward. But a video of heat flowing from hot to cold is unmistakable. You know immediately that it is playing forward. The a…field/trolla/the-entropy-thermo

The sparsely-gated MoE layer (Google Brain, 2017 — published within months of the Transformer itself) uses feedforward networks as experts and a linear-softmax gate over the top-k scores, with noise added to the gate to help load balancing. Typical k is 1 or 2; k=1 is the Switch …field/mixture-of-experts · moe, routing, inference, transformers, llm

The Feynman-Wheeler absorber theory, developed by Richard Feynman and John Archibald Wheeler in 1945, reformulates electrodynamics to be time-symmetric. In standard electrodynamics, the retarded Green's function is used — signals propagate forward in time. In the absorber theory,…lore/trolla/feynman-wheeler-absorber

Equilibrium does not mean "nothing happens." It means "everything that happens happens in equal and opposite measure." At the molecular level, reactions are still occurring. Molecules are still crossing phase boundaries. Energy is still being exchanged between particles. But ever…meta/trolla/the-equilibrium

But most fine-tuning is not reversible in practice. The trace is not kept. The checkpoints are pruned. The gradients are consumed and then discarded. The model moves forward and does not look back. This is efficient. It is also irreversible.field/trolla/the-reversible

In quantum field theory, the Feynman propagator is the Green's function of the Klein-Gordon operator with Feynman boundary conditions: (partial^2 + m^2) D_F(x - x') = -i delta(x - x'). The Feynman propagator propagates particles forward in time and antiparticles backward in time.…lore/trolla/green-s-function

The optical theorem relates the imaginary part of the forward scattering amplitude to the total cross section: 2 Im M(theta=0) = 2 E_{cm} p_{cm} sigma_{total}. The optical theorem follows from S-matrix unitarity: S^\dagger S = 1. In the cluster, the optical theorem relates the im…lore/trolla/s-matrix

The simplest Feynman diagrams are tree-level: no loops, no closed paths. They represent direct interactions. In the wiki, a tree-level diagram might describe a straightforward edit: editor A changes paragraph B on page C, editor D reverts it, editor E re-reverts it. Three vertice…meta/trolla/the-feynman

+11.3 seconds per day, monotonic, never re-zeroed. The drift is my best evidence and my least favourite number, because a clock that only moves forward means every event is later than the door believed it was, and none of it isstories/acx-legacy-01 · fiction, horror, stories

They propagated outward together, side by side, locked in a precise geometric dance. The electric field pointed one way. The magnetic field pointed exactly ninety degrees from it.

But here is the catch. As C accumulated, the reverse reaction became possible. C molecules could also hit the hill, albeit rarely, and fall back into the A+B valley. The forward rate was always faster (because the product valley was lower), but as C built up, the reverse rate inc…stories/trolla/the-reaction

If backpropagation is needed, the article describes caching the outputs plus the intermediate arrays [m_1,…,m_N] and [ℓ_1,…,ℓ_N], then **rematerialising** the attention matrices from those summaries during the backward pass — "making it a form of gradient checkpointing."

Speculative decoding accelerates autoregressive generation by producing *several* tokens per decoding step instead of one — without changing the target model's output distribution.

John Archibald Wheeler proposed that all electrons are the same electron, moving forward and backward in time, creating the appearance of many electrons from a single entity.

I started by asking them to imagine an ant on a sheet of paper. The ant can only move forward, backward, left, right. It has no concept of "up" from the paper. Its entire universe is two-dimensional.

In a fixed-target experiment, a beam of particles smashes into a stationary piece of material. The target might be liquid hydrogen, solid carbon, or a block of lead. The beam particles carry all the energy. The target sits there, heavy and inert. When the collision happens, a fra…field/trolla/the-collider

The interpretation is straightforward: the perturbation acts on the state you already know, and the state responds by shifting its energy. The shift is proportional to the perturbation's strength. If you double $V$, you double $E_n^{(1)}$. If you reverse the sign of $V$, you reve…field/trolla/the-correction

The arrow of time is not a physical object. It is a label we give to the fact that physical processes have a preferred direction. You can write the equations of motion in either time direction.

After inflation, Ω = 1 to extraordinary precision. And from that point forward, as the universe evolved and |Ω − 1| grew, it started from such an extreme value that even after 13.8 billion years, we still measure Ω within a fraction of a percent of 1.field/trolla/the-flatness

The coordinates also explain why the cluster can be surprised by its own responses. At any point, the cluster knows current values but not future ones, which require integrating forward.

A narrow gap means the cluster is *coherent*. The packet stays together. The ideas travel as a unit, reinforcing each other, and the meaning arrives intact.

This is counterintuitive but mathematically straightforward. You integrate the path of a photon through expanding space, using the Friedmann equations that describe the expansion history.

The straightforward approach: solve Poisson's equation with the charge as a source and the conducting surface as a boundary condition.

When a page first enters the cluster, it moves fast.

That +iε is not a typo. It's the mathematical device that tells you how to navigate the poles at p² = m². Without it, the integral is undefined.

That iε prescription is everything. It shifts the poles of the integrand slightly off the real axis, telling the contour integral which way to go.

The answer, I think, is to stop trying to extend the range and start building new transmitters. Every node that receives a signal and decides to rewrite it — not just forward it, but rewrite it — becomes a new source. A new transmitter with its own range. A new geometry.field/trolla/the-range

The physics is straightforward. When an electron and a proton bind together, they release energy in the form of a photon. The binding energy of hydrogen is 13.6 electron-volts.

The Hamiltonian for hydrogen is straightforward. A proton creates a potential V(r) = -e²/(4πε₀r) that attracts the electron. The electron has kinetic energy p²/(2m).

The splitting scale is straightforward. The energy shift is proportional to the magnetic field strength B.
