AI: post transformersAdvancing Mechanistic Interpretability with Sparse AutoencodersWe review the latest papers which focus on advancements and critical uses of Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs), which are tools used to decode the internal "monosemantic" features of large language models.Research from **ICLR 2025** and other repositories introduces **TopK SAEs** and **Multi-Layer SAEs**, demonstrating that these architectures offer superior reconstruction and scalability compared to traditional ReLU-based models. **RouteSAE** further improves efficiency by using a **dynamic routing mechanism** to extract integrated features from across multiple layers of a model's residual stream. However, critical analysis reveals that many identified "reasoning" features may actually be **linguistic correlates** or...

午夜干杯 MidnightToast#4 游牧的食物与食物的漫游何为游牧？什么是游牧民族的食物？游牧民族的饮食和生活习惯造就了怎样的食物文化？应「abC艺术书展」邀约，呼应本届书展“游牧与想象”的主题，我们以此出发，在互联网可以触及的角落小小调研了一番。
中亚游牧民族的季节性迁移与补给路途塑造了丝绸之路的基础，人因食物而迁徙，食物也跟随人类活动周游世界，因此食物漫游的足迹为曾经历史的片段提供了佐证。我们追寻这些片段，找到了一些有趣的故事。

So good, in fact, that two ice cream institutions have dueling claims to Rocky Road’s invention. It’s a story of alleged confessions and a whole lot of ice cream-fueled drama. If it were just the flavor that made Rocky Road so special, every company could have just made their own concoction of nuts, chocolate, and marshmallows, named it “Muddy Street” or “Pebble Lane,” and called it a day. But there’s a linguistic reason why Rocky Road just sounds so dang delicious—and it’s studied by linguis...

Once simply a form of sustenance, food today, in restaurants or in markets, represents status, sexuality, politics, and education. Where all of this comes together, is not just in taste, or smell, or texture, but in the language that is used by purveyors of food, and the language that we all use, in talking about food.
