In this paper, we introduce Writing in the Margins (WiM), a new inference pattern for Large Language Models designed to optimize the handling of long input sequences in retrieval-oriented tasks. This approach leverages the chunked prefill of the key-value cache to perform segment-wise inference, which enables efficient processing of extensive contexts along with the generation and classification of intermediate information ("margins") that guide the model towards specific tasks. This method increases computational overhead marginally while significantly enhancing the performance of off-the-shelf models without the need for fine-tuning. Specifically, we observe that WiM provides an average enhancement of 7.5% in accuracy for reasoning skills (HotpotQA, MultiHop-RAG) and more than a 30.0% increase in the F1-score for aggregation tasks (CWE). Additionally, we show how the proposed pattern fits into an interactive retrieval design that provides end-users with ongoing updates about the progress of context processing, and pinpoints the integration of relevant information into the final response. We release our implementation of WiM using Hugging Face Transformers library at https://github.com/writer/writing-in-the-margins. 2024: M.

Prepare to be captivated, inspired, and uplifted as we uncover the threads that weave together an outstanding life. About the book: At the time of completing this book in February 2023, I am fifty-six years old. Robert, my biological father, was murdered eight months after my birth. As I knew nothing about him, until an unintended discovery at the age of fifteen, I was misled regarding my identity. Though Robert was married to my mother, his ruffian, womanizing nature led to his violent death at the age of twenty-seven. As a popular and notorious man in Albany and Atlanta, news of his death was widespread. Given that I was an infant when he was killed, Robert's name and previous existence were buried by family members – not for a few years – for decades. Consequences of that buried truth gradually rose, festered, and lived actively in my mother's behavior. By evidence of my destructive similarities to Robert, that same buried truth also lived inside of me. This book is based upon a true story, and makes clear that family secrets are not benign practices. They are debilitating, oppressive, violent, and destructive forces with pervasive consequences. Collective concealment is a venom that paralyzes purpose, potential, and destiny. His Name Was Robert should never be categorized as a petty tell-all. It contains necessary transparency in order to break the chains of silence. Doing so required exposing the dirt of others, and significantly more of mine. While writing this book, I consistently encountered people with similar stories, and a range of consequences. Whether you have practiced, witnessed, or been a victim of generational family secrets, this book is for you. If you know of a person that experienced either of the same, this book is for them. With or without exposure to my provocative story, we must remember: buried truth will always rise. www.CKBLUCAS.com PODCAST ‘Outstanding Life' HOST The Motivational Cowboy - Johnny D.

This week, I sat down with my colleague Christopher Bryant, a Senior Regulatory Consultant here at Bergeson & Campbell. Chris has over 25 years of experience in environmental, health, and safety compliance, and, in particular, hazardous waste management and regulation under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). I asked Chris to the studio to speak with me about RCRA:  what it is, how the law has developed, what is covered under it, and how we might expect -- or hope -- it to change for the better.  We discussed the history and stated goals of RCRA, and why, in our opinion, it has not lived up to some of its founding principles. Chris hits upon the subject of plastics and PFAS materials, and explains the evolution of EPA’s thinking about waste over the last few decades, including how RCRA has adapted to a business world that is becoming increasingly more sustainability-oriented.  We also talk about how other countries and regions manage hazardous waste regulation and how practices beyond RCRA can be influenced to achieve improved results. When it comes to hazardous waste and RCRA, Chris is simply the best, and it was great to sit down with him and pick his brain on this important topic.  So, here is my discussion with Chris Bryant about all things RCRA.

This week, we offer something a little different. My colleague Christopher Bryant, a senior regulatory consultant here at the firm, invited Daniella Taveau and Daniel Pearson into our studio to sit down and talk about trade issues. As you will hear, their conversation ranged far and wide, hitting upon all aspects of the trade discussion which might be relevant to anyone working in the chemical manufacturing space. Listeners will hear about developing a historical context in which to understand the U.S.’ shifting trade policies; analysis and speculation about current and possible future trade policies as well as their philosophical underpinnings (or lack thereof); and specific discussion about practical current issues such as re-negotiating NAFTA, the effects of the trade war with China, the automobile industry, and what stakeholders should be doing in this moment of protectionist policies. Chris’ extensive dealings in trade matters pertinent to the chemical community makes him the perfect person to moderate this spirited discussion. There are few areas of chemical regulatory and trade practice that Chis has not explored, and his mastery of this space shines through and guides this session. Daniella Taveau is a Regulatory and Global Trade Strategist and founder of Bold Text Strategies. Daniella an internationally-recognized expert in developing global business and regulatory strategies encompassing areas such as international trade, finance, agriculture, food safety, and industrial chemicals.

On the fifty-sixth edition of Reality Bomb, we have a super-sized episode which looks at the legacy and future of the Target Novels as Graeme Burk talks first with fans Jon Arnold and Christopher Bryant, and then with author Jenny Colgan, who wrote the recent adapation of The Christmas Invasion. We then look back to when Doctor Who broke bad and lost its arms, its legs, it's everything as Doctor Who writer Andrew Smith brings Nightmare of Eden to the Gallery of the Underrated. And Joy Piedmont talks to Sage Young, Petra Mayer and Michelle Tidmore about Doctor Who actors and the appeal they have that bring fans to conventions and the stage door. Plus Bruce and Darren travel to a parallel dimension to get a shelf with uniform DVD and blu-ray spines...but at what cost? Listen now!

Hello! We know some of you have been itching to hear the episode where we discuss Nu-Who's Beryl Reid... and here it is! In addition to that we discuss all the big Doctor Who news stories for the month of September and, of course, read your emails & have some fun along the way. Today's episode covers: CLASSIC WHO: Big Finish is creating a series of First Doctor adventures where David Bradley will take the lead. How does this sit with Dave, who rates the First Doctor as 'his' Doctor? What do Adam Lambert and Queen have to do with it and how do the guys feel about Big Finish in general at the present time and where its all going? NU-WHO: After they left Doctor Who, Matt Smith and Jenna Coleman both took on roles in Royal dramas, specifically, The Crown on Netflix and Victoria on ITV. Victoria's ratings have recently plunged. What's behind it all? NU-WHO: Bradley Walsh. A month on from last episode, the guys still don't know if he'll be Jodie Whittaker's companion, or at least have a part in the new series. NU-WHO: The 2017 Christmas Special synopsis has leaked in a peculiar manner... but nothing fans didn't already know, so the way it was yanked offline again was amusing. NU-WHO: According to 'Now We Are 600', Harriet Jones didn't die. Rob has a bit of a rant on this revelation pulling the rug on what everyone believed was an on-screen death. Dave ponders why people can't leave things alone. CLASSIC WHO: Dave's been on a personal mission this past month to watch a collection of 'lowly-regarded six parters' from the Classic Era. These include: The Seeds of Death, The Mutants, The Sensorites and The Time Monster. How did they hold up during this Classic Era bender? CLASSIC WHO: Rob, meanwhile, zipped through The Android Invasion recently, for the first time in 20 years or more. He gives a few thoughts on watching this less remembered story from an otherwise absolutely classic Season 13. CLASSIC WHO: Dave ponders what would have happened in Classic Era stories if the Doctor hadn't turned up. He comments on Masque of Mandragora, The Seeds of Doom, and City of Death, but can you think of more? Write in today! NU-WHO: Who is Nu-Who's Beryl Reid? More specifically, what are examples of stunt casting (bad) or celebrity casting (good), since the series returned in 2005? Dave and Rob bring examples of each, as well as thoughts from our listeners. Do you agree? Let us know what you think of what's covered in this feature for next ep's mailbag. FINALLY: Emails from Christopher Bryant and Mike Solko relating to our recent Buffy episode. Did they enjoy it? And Ezra Penny chimes in on the topic of episodes that are generally slated by fans but which he really enjoys. Dave also comments on it being launch season for US television, with particular comments on The Orville. Thanks everyone, as always, for listening. We greatly appreciate your ears, your emails and your tweets and, if you really want to make our day, why not leave us an iTunes review sometime? It really helps us get noticed. See you in October for both our monthly show where we'll be looking at the Peter Davison era of Doctor Who. EMAIL US – hello@theDWshow.net

Hello! For a month where we approached this episode thinking, "What on earth is there to talk about (aside from our monthly feature)?" a surprising amount dropped in the week before we recorded and we respond in kind. Today's episode – broadly – covers: NU-WHO: Bradley Walsh is strongly rumoured to be Jodie Whittaker's companion in Series 11. Who is he? What's he been in? How might this play out in terms of a young-looking Doctor with a much older companion? CLASSIC WHO: A new version of Shada is on the way. Rob can barely contain his boredom. Is it needed? How will it look? So many questions. NU-WHO: Brand-new commentary on Jodie Whittaker from Steven Moffat and Russell T Davies. Jodie's also been getting around some radio stations. NU-WHO: Rumours of Jenna Coleman appearing in the Christmas special remain just that for now - rumours. However a picture of the new Ben Jackson appears and pleases both Rob and Dave in terms of his likeness. CLASSIC WHO/NU-WHO: Red White and Who: The Story of Doctor Who in America was released earlier this week and Rob and Dave had an advance copy with many of the chapters in it. They talk about the book and US fandom. CLASSIC WHO: August 29 is the 30th Anniversary of Dave's first Doctor Who club meeting that he attended with his Dad, aged 7. Rob realises, on air, that 1987 was when he attended his first fan event, aged 12. CLASSIC WHO/NU-WHO: Rob gives a podcast shout-out to I'll Explain Later & Complete Menagerie. He also mentions Progtor Who recently having it's third birthday and notes that Who Wars (which is the father of today's Doctor Who Show), first went out on Sept 7 2014; almost three years, too. CLASSIC WHO: Dave's been watching the Hartnell classic, The Ark, and finds the message it sends being extremely relevant for today. NU-WHO: Rob calls for submissions to our "Nu-Who's Beryl Reid" episode, set for September 24. "Everyone talks about Classic Who and stunt casting... but who are the celebrities in Nu-Who that really made you sit up, both for good reasons and bad?!?" Get your submissions in ASAP. CLASSIC WHO/NU-WHO: Our main topic for this episode is Doctor Who stories that listeners (and us) either didn't get or just didn't enjoy as children, but which we really enjoy as adults. These are almost all classic era stories, but one Nu-Who bolter makes it through at the end. Features emails from Mark Smith and Jim Hall in addition to listener suggestions from: Jim Hall, The Polis Box, Mark Watts, Isaac Dakin, James Stoker, Ganesh Projoy, Jon Arnold, Brendan Jones, Brian Dobson, Paul Scoones, spankybackpack, John Hole, Dave Ringo, Dylan Rees, We Are Cult, David Lancaster, Hayden Gribble, Christopher Bryant, and The Ginger Luke. Thanks for your thoughts! FINALLY: The second half of our mega email from Jim Hall, discussing the Doctor Who Magazine comics in the era of Tom Baker's final season. Thanks everyone, as always, for listening. We greatly appreciate your ears, your emails and your tweets and, if you really want to make our day, why not leave us an iTunes review sometime? It really helps us get noticed on there. See you in September for both our monthly show and the first in a new series of 'Alternate Galaxies' episodes where, for our first episode, we'll put Buffy the Vampire Slayer under the spotlight and let you know why, as a Doctor Who fan, you might be interested in watching it (if you haven't watched it already). EMAIL US – hello@theDWshow.net

(IMPORTANT! Our special thanks to listener, John Hole, for the pre- and post-credits audio find...!) -- Hello! It's been quite a month in Doctor Who and its associated fandom and Rob and Dave take their usual monthly dive into it all. Today's episode – broadly – covers: NU-WHO: Davogate. What happened? What do Rob and Dave make of it? And how do we feel about Whittaker's casting, two weeks on? CLASSIC WHO: Debbie Watling and Trevor Baxter pass away. NU-WHO: The Christmas Special trailer has dropped. How does it look? Is Mark Gatiss playing a character of note? CLASSIC WHO: Dave's got his hands on the Emperor of the Daleks comic book collection. Hear him rave about it. NU-WHO: Rob's reading the final three 12th Doctor novels from BBC Books. Diamond Dogs has been read and he's now into Plague City. CLASSIC WHO: Dave's randomly picked The Twin Dilemma off his bookshelf, watched it, and survived. How? Why? Hear his thoughts. CLASSIC WHO: Have you seen 'The Doctors' DVDs? These are the old Myth Makers videos cleaned up and released on DVD. Give them a try! CLASSIC WHO/NU-WHO: Our main topic for this episode is Doctor Who writers (both classic and nu), who only wrote one or two stories (three at the most), but whose output is regarded as among the best the series has ever produced. Features listener suggestions from: Ezra Penny, Matthew Thomas Young, Mike Solko, Christopher Bryant, Richard Nolan, and Steven B. Thanks for your thoughts, guys. FINALLY: Some listener feedback from Kenny Davidson as we wrap up, relating to Whittaker's casting, along with a few recent iTunes reviews.

Thanks everyone, as always, for listening. We greatly appreciate your ears, your emails and your tweets and, if you really want to make our day, why not leave us an iTunes review sometime? See you next month...! EMAIL US – hello@theDWshow.net

Rob chats to JR Southall about the new Doctor Who essay book, Hating to Love. What's it all about? Tune in and find out... Buy the book from: http://watchingbooks.weebly.com https://www.facebook.com/watchingbooks And, as always, you can write to us: hello@theDWshow.net — Are the worst Doctor Who stories really as bad as their reputations suggest they are? It's time to don your breathing apparatus, roll up your sleeves and join a team of ten intrepid - and slightly irrational - authors, as they head to the bottom of the barrel in a quest to uncover the worst the series has to offer, and to find out if those apples really are as rotten as they're painted. On the way, we'll meet the paving slab with the inappropriate love life, the pantomime horse that leaked green stuff all over Janet Fielding's dress, and the Dalek mutant with the phallic mane... Edited by J.R. Southall with Jon Arnold, Matt Barber, Christopher Bryant, Michael S. Collins, John Davies, Tony Green, Jim Hall, Brendan Jones, and Beth Ward.
