Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech TrainingIn this episode, Matt Fanslow dives into listener-submitted questions, covering a wide range of automotive diagnostic and repair topics. From personal influences in the industry to technical advice on exhaust gas analyzers, catalytic converter testing, and ADAS calibrations, Matt shares his insights and expertise.1. Who Do You Try to Emulate?Matt reflects on the mentors and industry leaders who have shaped his approach to diagnostics and repair.TV Doctors vs. Real Mentors: While he jokes about emulating fictional doctors like Hawkeye Pierce, Gregory House, and Perry Cox, Matt credits real-world experts like John Thornton, Randy Burkholder, Jim Kemper, Matthew Ragsdale, Harvey Chan, and John Riegel for their influence.The Value of Deep Research: Matt highlights the importance of studying SAE documents, technical manuals, and foundational books like Internal Combustion Engine Fundamentals by John B. Heywood.Thought Leaders in the Industry: He also mentions Jim Wilson (ScanShare.io), Scott Manna, and others for their diagnostic methodologies and problem-solving approaches.Takeaway: Success in automotive diagnostics comes from continuous learning, leveraging industry resources, and adopting best practices from experienced professionals.2. Exhaust Gas Analyzers – What to Look For?A listener asks about choosing the right exhaust gas analyzer for their shop. Matt breaks down the key features:PC/Android Interface: Essential for graphing gas readings (lambda, air-fuel ratio) over time.Portability: Needed for on-road testing to monitor performance under real driving conditions.Fast Sample Times: Look for analyzers with low transfer delays (under 5 seconds) for accurate real-time data.Cost Consideration: Expect to invest 5,000–5,000–7,000+ for a quality unit. Takeaway: A good exhaust gas analyzer should provide real-time data logging, lambda calculations, and portability for effective diagnostics.3. Testing Catalytic Converters – Temperature vs. PCM DiagnosticsA student questions the validity of using infrared thermometers to test catalytic converters after hearing conflicting advice.PCM Algorithms Are Superior: Modern vehicles use complex oxygen storage calculations—far more accurate than manual temperature checks.Why Temperature Testing Falls Short:A "bad" cat might still pass a temp test.A "good" cat might fail due to external factors (exhaust leaks, sensor issues).Best Practice: Trust OBD-II diagnostics, fuel control verification, and factory procedures over manual methods.Takeaway: Always verify fuel control, exhaust integrity, and PCM data before condemning a catalytic converter.4. ADAS Calibrations – Troubleshooting Static Windshield Camera IssuesA technician struggles with static calibrations for windshield-mounted cameras. Matt offers troubleshooting tips:Check the Windshield Glass: Aftermarket glass is a common culprit for calibration failures.Lighting Conditions:Too much LED glare? Try diffusers or dimming shop lights.Use shipping blankets to reduce reflections on the hood/dash.Target Placement: Ensure the target is positioned per OEM specs—avoid background interference.RTFM (Read the Factory Manual): Always follow OEM procedures for target setup.Takeaway: Calibration issues often stem from glass quality, lighting, or incorrect target alignment—double-check these factors first.Listener Q&A Submission: Have a question for Matt?

When Karim Ben Dhia founded Adveez in 2011, the company wasn't focused on airports at all - it was building hands-free access control systems for buildings. Today, with nearly 20,000 GSE units monitored worldwide, Adveez stands at the forefront of a technological revolution transforming ground operations at airports globally.Product and Customer Success Director Matthias Moulinier takes us through this remarkable journey, revealing how their first aviation client simply wanted to prevent competitors from using their equipment on the ramp. That single need quickly expanded into a comprehensive tracking system collecting everything from GPS coordinates to engine hours, shock detection, and battery management data.What makes GSE telematics fundamentally different from standard vehicle tracking? The lack of standardization. While passenger vehicles have universal OBD connections, every GSE manufacturer implements different systems requiring specialized hardware solutions. This technical challenge became Adveez's opportunity to develop purpose-built systems for the unique airport environment.Perhaps most revealing is what the data shows about equipment utilization. Despite ramp operators consistently claiming equipment shortages, the metrics tell a different story - no customer ever utilizes more than 80-85% of their equipment simultaneously. This insight allows procurement teams to make data-driven investments rather than reacting to perceived shortages.Looking forward, Adveez is pioneering innovations like charger management systems to optimize electric GSE infrastructure and camera monitoring to enhance safety. They're also developing AI algorithms that predict maintenance needs based on patterns detected across thousands of operating hours, moving from reactive to predictive operations.As the industry gradually moves toward factory installations rather than field retrofits, Mathias works closely with manufacturers like Oshkosh to integrate these systems during production. However, challenges remain, particularly the lack of standardized data protocols - a topic currently being addressed in IATA and SAE working groups.Curious about the future of GSE management or how these systems might benefit your operation?

No te quepa la menor duda: La llegada del coche autónomo será el principio del fin del automóvil tal y como lo conocemos. ¿Eso es bueno o malo? Es lo que vamos a ver en este video. ¿Tardará mucho o poco? También lo veremos porque hay mucho que contar… Pero te digo una cosa el día que llegue la popularización del coche autónomo… nada será igual… Antes de comenzar permitid que os haga una reflexión: Este video pretende ser una base para reflexionar, discrepar y abrir un debate sobre el tema… porque en este caso, os diría que más que nunca, me interesa vuestra opinión. En el tema citado de los vehículos autónomos, los niveles de autonomía propuestos en 2016 por la SAE siguen siendo vigentes y se publicaron en un informe de sencillo nombre… eufemismo… denominado “Taxonomy and Definitions for Terms Related to On-Road Motor Vehicle Automated Driving Systems”. Son 6 niveles van de 0 a 6 y vamos a detallarlos: Nivel 0. El coche emite avisos, pero no controla el vehículo. Nivel 1. El conductor comparte el control con el propio vehículo, pero de forma parcial. Un ejemplo podría ser el control de crucero adaptativo. Nivel 2. El sistema automatizado toma el control total del vehículo pero el conductor debe supervisar la conducción y estar preparado para intervenir inmediatamente. Nivel 3. El conductor puede desviar su atención de las tareas de conducción de forma segura, por ejemplo, el conductor puede enviar mensajes de texto o ver una película… pero debe seguir estando preparado para intervenir. Nivel 4. Como en el 3, salvo que no se requiere la atención del conductor que, por ejemplo, se podría echar a dormir. Nivel 5. Nivel máximo, no se requiere intervención humana alguna más allá de decir a dónde queremos ir… se trata de un vehículo robotizado. Un coche autónomo puede saber conducir, pero ¿cómo puede reaccionar ante lo imprevisto? Y es que es muy difícil enfrentarse al mayor agente de caos y confusión que existe sobre la tierra: El Ser Humano. No es fácil tomar decisiones ante un conductor que realiza maniobras anárquicas por la razón que sea. Pero es que tampoco lo es reaccionar a una persona que decide bloquear el paso a nuestro coche porque no está en sus cabales… Y de esto saben mucho las empresas que ya están usando coches autónomos como taxis sin conductor. Son los llamados robotaxis. El sueño de muchas empresas tecnológicas y de transporte de pasajeros. Imagínate un montón de taxis trabajando todo el día, sin pagar conductores… Lo cierto es que empresas como Waymo o Cruise ya están operando en algunas ciudades de EEUU y, aunque con incidentes aislados, están mostrando cifras de siniestralidad prometedoras… Pero claro, circulan en zonas de servicio concretas. Queda por ver qué pasaría si los implantáramos al mismo nivel que los taxis o VTC en zonas de servicio muy variadas. Y ojo, porque se ha empezado con los robotaxis… Pero estoy casi seguro que la mensajería y el transporte será el siguiente sector a “robotizar”. En este punto, si eres conductor de taxis, VTC o transportista, me encantaría que nos dejaras en comentarios situaciones que has vivido y que, seguramente, no resolvería un vehículo autónomo. Igual las compartimos en un próximo vídeo… Hay expertos que están en contra. Nada menos que Luis Montoro, nada menos que presidente de FESVIAL (Fundación Española para la Seguridad Vial), muestra sus dudas con el coche autónomo… En una intervención reciente dijo: “Queda mucho por hacer para llegar al del coche autónomo de nivel 5. Las tecnologías necesarias son muy complejas, caras, vulnerables y con alto nivel de mantenimiento, por lo que habrá que plantearse si son viables y rentables”. Su intervención daría para otro vídeo. Lo cierto es que la popularización del coche autónomo supondría un cambio de paradigma absoluto en lo que al automóvil se refiere… eso de “¿Te gusta conducir?” carecería de sentido y para mí, de alguna forma, sería el fin de las marcas Premium. ¿Por qué? Porque los coches serían simples salones con ruedas. Asuntos como la motorización, tipo de frenos, suspensiones, instrumentación, cambio… todo eso carecerá de importancia… la clave será una buena gestión del sistema autónomo y un interior acogedor, con buenas butucas y una pantalla de plasma gigante para ver la “tele” mientras viajamos… Por eso me parece una estupidez que las marcas, sobre todo las Premium, se muestren tan entusiastas con los coches autónomos…. Que juegan en su contra. Es tirar piedras contra su tejado. En este vídeo contamos con la colaboración de Airbnb. Te voy a contar algunas experiencias que he tenido disfrutando de sus servicios, que seguro te van a dar buenas ideas a la hora de viajar.

Rincón de la Victoria cuenta desde hoy con un Puesto de Actualización de Documentación (PAD), donde se podrá renovar de una manera sencilla, además de gratuita, los certificados electrónicos del DNI y cambiar la contraseña de acceso. El alcalde de Rincón de la Victoria, Francisco Salado (PP), junto al comisario principal y jefe Provincial de Operaciones de la Policía Nacional, Roberto Rodríguez Velasco, han sido los responsables de dar a conocer este nuevo puesto fruto de la firma de un convenio entre ambas administraciones representadas; el Ayuntamiento de Rincón de la Victoria y el Ministerio de Interior, a través de la Dirección General de Policía. El acto también ha contado con la presencia de los concejales de Régimen Interior, Pepi Carnero (PP), Seguridad Ciudadana, Manuel García (PP), Nuevas Tecnologías, Pablo Pardini (PP), y el inspector y jefe de Documentación, Manuel Rosas. Salado ha explicado que con la instalación de este PAD, “potenciamos el uso del certificado que lleva asociado nuestro DNI, que es uno de los método de acceso y autentificación que menos utilizamos a la hora de hacer nuestras gestiones con la administración pública. Una herramienta más para acercar la administración al ciudadano, algo en lo que llevamos trabajando muchos años”. El nuevo servicio, que es voluntario y gratuito, “está enmarcado en el compromiso de las administraciones públicas por impulsar la digitalización y mejorar la accesibilidad de los ciudadanos a los servicios electrónicos”, señala el regidor. Sobre la firma de este documento, el regidor ha dicho que “el objetivo del mismo, no es sólo generar un marco de colaboración entre las dos administraciones, sino, en lo concreto, la instalación y uso de un PAD, además marca el inicio de una colaboración entre administraciones que permitirá desarrollar nuevas actuaciones conjuntas en beneficio de los ciudadanos”. “Este convenio refleja el esfuerzo conjunto entre el Ayuntamiento y el Ministerio del Interior por acerca los servicios públicos a los ciudadanos, reduciendo los desplazamientos a las Unidades de Documentación y optimizando el uso de las prestaciones electrónicas del DNI”, añade. Por su parte, el comisario ha explicado que “hasta entonces los PAD se encontraban ubicados tan sólo en las comisarías de Policía Nacional, desde donde la ciudadanía podía renovar los certificados de su DNI y cambiar la contraseña asociada. Cuando los certificados del DNI caducaban -el plazo de validez de los certificados electrónicos contenidos es de un máximo de 24 meses o la fecha de vencimiento de la tarjeta del DNI, cuando ésta sea anterior-, los ciudadanos que residían en los municipios que no se hallan en la demarcación del Cuerpo debían desplazarse para realizar ese trámite. Es por ello que estos nuevos PAD tienen una importante utilidad pública para los ciudadanos de las localidades beneficiadas”. El PAD está ubicado en la oficina del Servicio de Atención al Ciudadano del Ayuntamiento de Rincón de la Victoria, junto al punto del SAE donde los vecinos pueden sellar su tarjeta de demandante de empleo. Puesto móvil de renovación y expedición DNI El alcalde de Rincón de la Victoria ha anunciado hoy que “ambas administraciones ya están trabajando en un puesto móvil de renovación y expedición del DNI en Rincón de la Victoria, que será el siguiente paso de este compromiso y trabajo conjunto”. En este sentido, el comisario ha indicado que “en fechas muy próximas vamos a trasladar oficinas móviles a los municipios, entre ellos, Rincón de la Victoria para que los ciudadanos no tengan que desplazarse a comisaría para tener implementado su DNI, y será en el mismo acto; tanto DNI como pasaporte, incluso el DNI electrónico en el móvil”. PAD con presencia física del titular del documento Los PAD se encuentran habilitados para renovar los certificados electrónicos mediante la presencia física del titular del DNI en cuestión y la comprobación de la identidad del mismo, por medio de la lectura de su tarjeta y las plantillas biométricas -impresiones dactilares-, capturadas durante el proceso anterior de expedición del DNI, por el cual podrá desencadenar de forma autónoma el procedimiento de renovación de certificados y/o cambio de contraseña. Esta actualización se realiza de forma voluntaria, gratuita y por iniciativa del propio ciudadano. Este proceso de digitalización hace necesario por parte de las instituciones públicas garantizar el proceso de accesibilidad al ciudadano en el uso del certificado digital, tanto para el proceso de autenticación, que lleva implícito el DNI, como para el uso de la firma digital. Estos PAD son dispositivos que tienen la funcionalidad de poder renovar las claves y certificados electrónicos del DNI, y tienen como objetivo fundamental el permitir el acceso de la ciudadanía residente en núcleos poblacionales en los que no existen Unidades de Documentación a la administración pública.

In this podcast episode, we dive deep into motorcycle heated riding gear. Riding in cold weather can be uncomfortable without proper gear. Over the years, I've tested a range of heated gear—from budget to premium—and have real-world experience as a police motor officer and personal rider. In this guide, I'll walk you through heated gear options, share insights, and explain why Gerbing gear stands above the rest. 1. The Problem with Cheap Heated Gear White-Labeled & Generic Gear Many low-cost heated gear products, like Mobile Warming, are white-labeled items from platforms like Alibaba. These products appear across Amazon and eBay, rebranded and sold under different names. The Issue: Cheap materials lead to quick failure, poor battery performance, and safety concerns. Flimsy Batteries & Chargers Cheap heated gear often uses low-quality lithium-ion batteries. Problems include: Fire hazard concerns. Poor charge indication (no light or status). Chargers that break quickly. Batteries don't last and will have to be replaced often. Tip: Avoid relying on inexpensive gear for long-term riding needs. 2. Why Gerbing Sets the Standard Unmatched Quality & Reliability Gerbing heated gear is tested, durable, and built for serious riders. Their batteries, chargers, and construction far outperform budget brands. Gerbing 7V Soft Shell Vest Versatile & Stylish: Wearable on motorcycles, outdoor activities, or day-to-day tasks. Battery Performance: High: ~2 hours Medium: ~3-4 hours Design Note: Should fit snugly to maximize heat transfer. 3. My Favorite Heated Gear: Gerbing Heated Shirt The Gerbing heated shirt is my go-to for daily police motor duty and personal riding. Why I Love It: Thin material fits under any jacket.  Versatile enough for any outdoor tasks.  Battery Life: Up to 5 hours on low. Functionality: Easy controls with visible power indicators. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE 4. Battery-Powered vs. Plug-In Gear Battery-Powered Gear Pros: Portable and versatile for short trips or off-bike use. Cons: Limited runtime; requires carrying extra batteries. Plug-In Gear (Gerbing Heated Jacket Liner) Why Plug-In? Unlimited runtime while riding. Always in my saddlebag, ready for unexpected cold weather. Setup: Plugs into your bike's power system, offering a reliable heat source for long rides. Pro Tip: Use both for maximum versatility! 5. Heated Gloves, Pants, and Socks: Do You Need Them? For riders or bikes without fairings or heated seats, heated gloves, pants, and socks are invaluable. My Setup: Heated jacket liner. Heated grips. Saddlemen Heated Seat. This combination is sufficient for even freezing temperatures. 6. First Gear vs. Gerbing: A Comparison Key Differences Feature Gerbing First Gear Construction Wind-resistant nylon; ripstop shell Standard nylon Redundancy Backup manual controls Limited to lowest heat if remote fails Wireless Control Redundant options available No manual fallback Verdict: Gerbing's durability and redundancy give it the edge for serious riders. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! 7. Wireless Controllers for Convenience Manual in pocket controllers can be awkward on the road. Solution: Gerbing's wireless controller. I mount it with velcro on my bike's dash. Setup: The manual controller offers redundant and  is needed to pair with the wireless remote  8. Wiring Your Bike for Heated Gear Option 1: Using OEM Accessory Plugs Newer Harleys (like my 2024 Street Glide) come with accessory plugs. Extension Needed: Use Gerbing's male-to-female extension to make connections accessible. Option 2: Direct Battery Connection Pigtail Setup: Attach Gerbing's pigtail connector to your battery terminals. Safety Tip: Choose the correct fuse size for your gear combination (see Gerbing's fuse chart/comes with your gear). 9. SAE Connections for Adventure Bikes Use an SAE-to-Gerbing adapter for bikes equipped with battery tender leads.

Le “syndrome de l'accent étranger” ou SAE est une condition neurologique dans laquelle une personne commence à parler avec un accent étranger qui n'est pas le sien. C'est un syndrome rare mais qui existe bel et bien ! Il peut survenir à la suite de certains types de lésions cérébrales, comme celles causées par un AVC ou des migraines sévères. Environ 15% des cas sont dus à des traumatismes crâniens, c'est ce que relate l'Académie nationale de médecine. Que se passe-t-il dans le cerveau ? Est-ce grave ? Ce syndrome est-il courant ? Écoutez la suite de cet épisode de "Maintenant vous savez". Un podcast Bababam Originals, écrit et réalisé par Laura Taouchanov.

On this episode of The Marriage Life Coach Podcast, I'm delighted to be joined by a graduate of my Marriage MBA program, Sae Mickelson.    Sae is a Chinese medicine practitioner and acupuncturist who spends much of her time with clients through a lens of discovery and growth. In her many years doing this work, she's observed the connection between balance and wellness. And in her time in the Marriage MBA, she was able to draw the same connection more deeply by applying it to her relationship.    Balance and wellness are terms we all tend to have our own definition of, and I think you'll love hearing Sae's perspective of these concepts and others she shared. Her wealth of wisdom from her medicinal background and willingness to be open about her experience of the Marriage MBA were just a breath of fresh air!    Listen in to our conversation to hear more from Sae's heart about: How to zoom out and take the long view of life and relationships The power of asking “What's my next small choice?” Western culture's impact on our relationships Creating awareness of your natural cycles   

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Showing SAE Latents Are Not Atomic Using Meta-SAEs, published by Bart Bussmann on August 24, 2024 on The AI Alignment Forum. Bart, Michael and Patrick are joint first authors. Research conducted as part of MATS 6.0 in Lee Sharkey and Neel Nanda's streams. Thanks to Mckenna Fitzgerald and Robert Krzyzanowski for their feedback! TL;DR: Sparse Autoencoder (SAE) latents have been shown to typically be monosemantic (i.e. correspond to an interpretable property of the input). It is sometimes implicitly assumed that they are therefore atomic, i.e. simple, irreducible units that make up the model's computation. We provide evidence against this assumption by finding sparse, interpretable decompositions of SAE decoder directions into seemingly more atomic latents, e.g. Einstein -> science + famous + German + astronomy + energy + starts with E We do this by training meta-SAEs, an SAE trained to reconstruct the decoder directions of a normal SAE. We argue that, conceptually, there's no reason to expect SAE latents to be atomic - when the model is thinking about Albert Einstein, it likely also thinks about Germanness, physicists, etc. Because Einstein always entails those things, the sparsest solution is to have the Albert Einstein latent also boost them. Key results SAE latents can be decomposed into more atomic, interpretable meta-latents. We show that when latents in a larger SAE have split out from latents in a smaller SAE, a meta SAE trained on the larger SAE often recovers this structure. We demonstrate that meta-latents allow for more precise causal interventions on model behavior than SAE latents on a targeted knowledge editing task. We believe that the alternate, interpretable decomposition using MetaSAEs casts doubt on the implicit assumption that SAE latents are atomic. We show preliminary results that MetaSAE latents have significant ovelap with latents in a normal SAE of the same size but may relate differently to the larger SAEs used in MetaSAE training. We made a dashboard that lets you explore meta-SAE latents. Terminology: Throughout this post we use "latents" to describe the concrete components of the SAE's dictionary, whereas "feature" refers to the abstract concepts, following Lieberum et al. Introduction Mechanistic interpretability (mech interp) attempts to understand neural networks by breaking down their computation into interpretable components. One of the key challenges of this line of research is the polysemanticity of neurons, meaning they respond to seemingly unrelated inputs. Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) have been proposed as a method for decomposing model activations into sparse linear sums of latents. Ideally, these latents should be monosemantic i.e. respond to inputs that clearly share a similar meaning (implicitly, from the perspective of a human interpreter). That is, a human should be able to reason about the latents both in relation to the features to which they are associated, and also use the latents to better understand the model's overall behavior. There is a popular notion, both implicitly in related work on SAEs within mech interp and explicitly by the use of the term "atom" in sparse dictionary learning as a whole, that SAE features are atomic or can be "true features". However, monosemanticity does not imply atomicity. Consider the example of shapes of different colors - the set of shapes is [circle, triangle, square], and the set of colors is [white, red, green, black], each of which is represented with a linear direction. 'Red triangle' represents a monosemantic feature, but not an atomic feature, as it can be decomposed into red and triangle. It has been shown that sufficiently wide SAEs on toy models will learn 'red triangle', rather than representing 'red' and 'triangle' with separate latents. Furthermore, whilst one may naively re...

Welcome to part two of this two part episode with Chenoa Tarin.Today's guest is Chenoa Tarin, a Brooklyn based, producer, vocalist and songwriter whose sounds are an homage to the music that formed her. Chenoa Tarin also runs “Bouquet,” a monthly femme forward artist showcase in Brooklyn with resident DJ Dewy ‘87.As you'll hear throughout this conversation, Chenoa believes deeply in self-expression and the importance of art.Throughout this conversation, we will discuss:* Chenoa's experience at SAE Institute.* Complementary career paths as a music producer.* The importance of being competent AND kind.* What is technically correct versus what is true and authentic to you.* Chenoa's experience and ideas for starting an event of your own, wherever you are.* And, Chenoa tells us that you can do whatever you want, forever.Top 3 Gems From This Convo:1. REGARDLESS OF YOUR TALENT, ARE YOU KIND?Yes. Make good music. Also, there is no substitute for kindness and connection to a community. You can fail alone, but no one succeeds without the support of others.2. FOCUS ON COMMUNICATING WHAT YOU FEEL, NOT WHAT IS “CORRECT.”Notice if you are imposing rules and limitations about what is technically “correct.” Prioritize the communication of your energy and feeling through your music.3. YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT, FOREVER.Remember that when other people say you that you cannot do something, it is not necessarily true.It is something that they said, nothing more.Listen on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.Tap in with toru:Instagram: @torubeatYouTube: @torubeattiktok: @torubeatTap in with Chenoa Tarin:Instagram: @chenoatarinChenoa's Website: https://www.chenoatarin.com/To jump to a specific moment in the conversation:0:00 Intro 1:38 Another's Success Is Not Your Failure 2:50 Quitting Too Early 4:40 Formal Education and Chenoa's Experience at SAE 14:03 Balancing Competence and Kindness 18:45 How and Why to Start Your Own Show 21:40 Self-imposed Limits and Rules 26:20 Caught Up In Music As Technically Correct 29:40 Comparison 34:10 Save Everything 37:30 Quick Hits - Get to know Chenoa 43:20 Chenoa's parting message 44:30 OutroReferenced:The Creative Act: A Way Of BeingThanks for reading toru's Substack!

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Calendar feature geometry in GPT-2 layer 8 residual stream SAEs, published by Patrick Leask on August 17, 2024 on The AI Alignment Forum. TL;DR: We demonstrate that the decoder directions of GPT-2 SAEs are highly structured by finding a historical date direction onto which projecting non-date related features lets us read off their historical time period by comparison to year features. Calendar years are linear: there are as many years between 2000 and 2024, as there are between 1800 and 1824. Linear probes can be used to predict years of particular events from the activations of language models. Since calendar years are linear, one might think the same of other time-based features such as weekday features, however weekday activations in sparse autoencoders (SAEs) were recently found to be arranged in a circular configuration in their top principal components. Inspired by this, we looked into weekdays, months, and most interestingly calendar years from the perspective of SAE feature decoder similarity. For each group of calendar features, we found interesting patterns of feature splitting between sparse autoencoders of different sizes. For calendar years, we found a timeline direction that meaningfully ordered events, individuals, and concepts with respect to their historical period, which furthermore does not correspond to a principal component of the decoder directions. Finally, we introduce a simple method for finding some of these interpretable directions. Features at different scales We started by replicating the weekday results by performing PCA on the decoder directions of features that had high activations when prompted with days of the week, using the same GPT-2 SAEs as in this post, ranging from 768 to 98304 features. In the 768 feature SAE, we found a single weekday feature that activated strongly on all days of the week. In the largest SAE, we found 10 weekday features, 3 of which activated on all days of the week, with the remaining 7 activating on a single day of the week each. We found a group of features that activate primarily on specific days of the week by taking the top 20 activating samples for each feature and checking that the max activating token in each of these samples was the specific weekday. We found the first two principal components for this set of features, and projected the features that activate on any day or number of days from all SAEs onto these directions. The labeled features are those that activate on a single day across all SAEs, with the multi-day features unlabeled to maintain legibility. The smallest SAE (blue) has a single feature that activates on all weekday tokens, and lies near the mean of all the weekday features. The largest SAEs learn features for each day of the week, plus additional multi-day features. Across SAE sizes, the single day features form clusters. In each of these examples, the smallest SAE has a single feature that splits into many specific features that seem of roughly the same importance. With calendar years, however, the situation is more complex. The same method of finding the principal components for single year features between 1900 and 2020 only succeeds in a few 21st century features, and nothing from the 20th century. There is also a group of single year features in a smaller SAE in the center of the plot, suggesting these principal components do not explain variance in them. The plot below shows the years for which each of the features is active, with the x-axis being years from 1950 to 2020, the y-axis being separate features, and the colored bars indicating the periods of year for which that feature is active. Only in the largest SAEs do you see more than a few single calendar year features, with most of the features activating on ranges of years, or other patterns such as the start and end...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Extracting SAE task features for ICL, published by Dmitrii Kharlapenko on August 12, 2024 on The AI Alignment Forum. TL;DR We try to study task vectors in the SAE basis. This is challenging because there is no canonical way to convert an arbitrary vector in the residual stream to a linear combination of SAE features - you can't just pass an arbitrary vector through the encoder without going off distribution. We explored the algorithm of gradient pursuit suggested in Smith et al, but it didn't work for us without modifications. Our approach is to apply the SAE encoder to the task vector, and then apply a gradient-based cleanup. This exploits the fact that task vectors have a differentiable objective. We find that this gives a sparser and cleaner reconstruction, which is also highly interpretable, and also serves as a better task vector due to directly optimizing for log likelihood. This takes us from ~100 active features to ~10. Using our algorithm, we find two classes of SAE features involved in ICL. One of them recognizes the exact tasks or output formats from the examples, and another one encodes the tasks for execution by the model later on. We show that steering with these features has causal effects similar to task vectors. This work was produced as part of the ML Alignment & Theory Scholars Program - Summer 24 Cohort, under mentorship from Neel Nanda and Arthur Conmy. Prior work Task or function vectors are internal representations of some task that LLMs form while processing an ICL prompt. They can be extracted from a model running on a few-shot prompt and then be used to make it complete the same task without having any prior context or task description. Several papers (Function vectors in large language models, In-Context Learning Creates Task Vectors) have proposed different ways to extract those task vectors. They all center around having ICL examples being fed to a model in the form of "input output, … " and averaging the residuals on the "separator" token over a batch. This approach can reconstruct some part of the ICL performance but does not admit a straightforward conversion to the SAE basis. ITO with gradient pursuit can be used to do a sparse coding of a residual vector using SAE features. The post suggests using this algorithm for steering vector SAE decomposition. Since task vectors can be thought of as steering vectors, ITO may provide some insight into the ways they operate. Initial Phi-3 experiments Direct SAE task vector reconstruction In our study we trained a set of gated SAEs for Phi-3 Mini 3.8B using a model-generated synthetic instruction dataset. While offering a sparse dictionary decomposition of residuals, SAEs tend to introduce a reconstruction error that impacts the performance of the model. They also have no guarantee to be able to decompose out-of-distribution vectors, and task vectors being a product of averaging activations across prompts and tokens may be the case of such vectors. Thus, we first studied the performance of SAE reconstructions of task vectors in transferring the definition of two tasks: 1) antonym generation and 2) English to Spanish word translation. These and other tasks used to study task vectors were taken from the ICL task vectors paper github repository. These charts show the NLL loss of the model on the evaluation set of zero-shot prompts for both of the tasks depending on the layer of extraction/insertion. TV stands for the original task vector performance; Recon of TV stands for using the SAE reconstruction of the task vector instead of the task vector; TV on recon stands for first doing a SAE reconstruction of the residuals and then collecting a task vector on them; ITO stands for the ITO algorithm with 40 target l0 loss. It can be seen from charts that SAE reconstruction significantly decrea...

Bariatric surgery is an evolving field with new procedures, or variations of old ones, being developed to meet the needs of patients with obesity. The single anastomosis duodenoileal bypass (SADI) and one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) are two such procedures which have recently entered the mainstream conversation. In this episode we will give a brief overview of the SADI and OAGB, go over some short and long term studies evaluating safety and efficacy, and discuss current sentiments about these options and how they may fit into bariatric practice.  Show Hosts: Matthew Martin, MD Adrian Dan, MD Crystal Johnson-Mann, MD Paul Wisniowski, MD Article #1: Chao 2024 - Outcomes of SADI and OAGB Compared to RYGB from the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Quality Improvement Program: The North American Experience Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and duodenal switch are well described procedure for weight loss; however, associated postoperative complications have led to the development of simpler techniques Single anastomosis duodenoileal bypass (SADI) - modification of the duodenal switch where by a loop of ileum of the bilopancreatic limb approximately 200-300cm from the ileal cecal valve is anastomosed to the distal duodenal cuff of a tubularized stomach One anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) – modification of the RYGB where a loop of jejunum of the bilopancreatic limb approximately 150-200cm from the ligament of treitz is anastomosed to the distal end of a gastric pouch. There is increasing interest in these procedures given the perceived reduced risk reduction associated with one fewer anastomosis Currently, there is insufficient data on the safety of these procedures compared to the established RYGB.  The article utilizes the MBSAQIP database to evaluate each procedure against the RYGB  Matched groups: SADI vs RYGB and OAGB vs RYGB  Matched against age, sex, BMI, operative time, and ASA classification 30-day outcomes included complications and health care utilization Results were analyzed with univariate comparative analysis, and significant outcomes were examined with logistic regression SADI vs RYGB: SADI independently associated INCREASED odds with staple line leak, sepsis, organ space infection, and pneumonia.  OAGB vs RYGB: OAGB independently associated with REDUCED odds of SSI, transfusion requirement/GI bleed, ICU admission, bowel obstruction, and healthcare utilization (reoperation, readmissions, and reinterventions) No significant differences in mortality Limitation: Article generally reviews technical complications of procedures. Unable to address significant bariatric outcomes such as weight loss and metabolic profile, as well as long term outcomes.  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38170422/ Article #2: Maud 2019 - Efficacy and safety of OAGB vs RYGB for obesity (YOMEGA trial): A multicentre, randomized, open label, non-inferiority trial Limited long-term evidence on OAGB Mostly arising from retrospective analyses and one meta-analysis Two randomized clinical trials but with poor power and questionable methodology.  This is a randomized non-inferiority trial of in patients undergoing bariatric surgery   Randomized into 2 groups: OAGB vs RYGB with 117 patients per group Patients were followed for 2 years with a loss to follow up of 21% in OAGB and 24% in RYGB cohorts The primary outcome was weight loss with a noninferiority threshold of 7% assuming 60% weight loss at 2 years. Secondary outcomes included complications and metabolic outcomes Groups were compared with Student's T and Wilcoxon tests for quantitative data, and chi-squared and Fischer's exact for qualitative endpoints.  Cohorts were analyzed with the intention to treat, and missing data on the primary endpoint was imputed with prediction-based modeling.  Highlighted Outcomes Mean percent excess BMI loss of 87.9% in OAGB group compared to 85.8% in RYGB group demonstrating non-inferiority in terms of weight loss Increased number of serious adverse events (SAE) in the OAGB group, but no difference in the proportion of patients with at least 1 SAE OAGB demonstrated 70% complete or partial remission of diabetes compared to 44% in RYGB but underpowered to demonstrate significant difference.  Equal rates of gastritis and esophagitis based on endoscopic biopsy results at 2 years. There were increased nutritional complications in the OAGB groups with 21% vs 0% in RYGB and high rates of diarrhea/anal fissures 14% vs 0%, respectively. This suggests a greater malabsorptive effect of OAGB.  There was equal satisfaction in quality of life between RYGB and OAGB on two validated surveys with >80% satisfaction rates. Limitations Data was imputed for the primary end point High rates of loss to follow up in both cohorts Use of “severe adverse events” instead of Clavien-Dindo classification Comparison of specific institutional/surgeon technique of OAGB vs RYGB https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30851879/ Please visit https://behindtheknife.org to access other high-yield surgical education podcasts, videos and more.   If you liked this episode, check out our recent episodes here: https://app.behindtheknife.org/listen
