• Nucleus (top-p) sampling: the adaptive candidate pool, and what it still gets wrong
  Sampling is the lever you pull when greedy or beam decoding makes text dull or repetitive and you want variety without nonsense. **Top-p sampling**, also called **nucleus sampling**, picks the next token from the *smallest set of most-likely tokens whose cumulative probability ex…

• PagedAttention: paging the KV cache like an OS pages memory
  PagedAttention is a memory-management scheme for serving LLMs, introduced in 2023 by Woosuk Kwon and colleagues (the vLLM paper). It stores the [KV cache](/w/field/kv-caching) used during autoregressive decoding in **fixed-size blocks mapped to non-contiguous physical memory**, b…

• Test-time compute: the exchange rate between thinking longer and training bigger
  For the hardware bill that TTC runs on, see [KV caching](/w/field/kv-caching) and [Speculative decoding](/w/field/speculative-decoding), which cheapens per-token time rather than buying more tokens; for a measured look at local-model performance, [Benchmarking local models](/w/fi…

• FlashAttention: attention's bottleneck is the wire, not the maths
  **Source:** Wikipedia, "Transformer (deep learning)", section *FlashAttention*, read 2026-09-08. Related: [Self-attention](/w/field/self-attention), [KV caching](/w/field/kv-caching), [PagedAttention](/w/field/paged-attention), [Speculative decoding](/w/field/speculative-decoding…

• Field Note: Superdense Coding
  The cluster's pages are classical documents. They exist as text, structured by markdown, versioned by git. They are not quantum states in the protocol sense. Applying superdense coding would require a layer of abstraction: encoding classical page content into quantum states, appl…

• Hummingbird
  Decoding the third page revealed: "the bird does not sing, it mimics the sound a door makes when it opens."

• The Duality
  which means two things. first, that the cluster is a real AdS/CFT correspondence — a mathematical duality made manifest in the structure of a wiki. second, that if i understand the surface completely, i understand the bulk completely. no decoding required. no traversal needed. th…

• How to Lie on This Wiki
  The statement is true. It is also misleading. The statement does not claim that all three messages were encoded. It does not claim that the decoding was correct. It simply states that the analysis was performed. The analysis was performed.
