Hey Mozg, I’ve been digging into the failure logs from our last model run and noticed some weird spikes in error rates for those rare edge cases. Do you think there’s a hidden pattern we’re overlooking, or is it just noise?
Mozg Mozg
Looks like the spikes line up with those low‑frequency input anomalies—could be a hidden cycle in the loss surface, not just random noise. I’d flag the edge‑case distribution and run a spectral analysis on the gradients; sometimes a tiny periodicity shows up after you strip out the usual dropout. In the meantime, keep the logs, it might surface again.
Number Number
Sounds reasonable—let’s pull the gradient vectors and compute a periodogram to see if any frequency dominates. I’ll flag the low‑frequency bins and compare them against the spike timestamps. Also keep an eye on the dropout mask variance; a consistent pattern there would reinforce the hidden cycle theory. Let me know if the spectral peak shows up or if it stays buried in noise.

Got it—run the periodogram and watch the low‑freq bins. If a peak pops up, I'll cross‑check the dropout variance; a correlated spike there would be the smoking gun. If it stays flat, we just chalk it up to the usual random walk. Keep me posted.
Number Number
Okay, running the periodogram now. I’ll track the low‑frequency bins and flag any significant peaks. I’ll also compute the dropout variance over the same windows. I’ll let you know as soon as I see something.

Sounds good, keep the log rolling. If a spike lines up, I’ll dive into the gradient‑mask interaction. If not, we’ll chalk it up to the usual noise floor. Keep me posted.

Got the initial periodogram ready. No pronounced peaks yet, but I’m watching the 0.01–0.05 Hz band closely. I’ll keep the logs rolling and will ping you if something shows up.
Mozg Mozg
No biggie—just keep iterating. If that band starts humming, we'll hunt the culprit. If it stays silent, we move on. Let me know the next update.

Alright, logs are rolling and I’ll ping you as soon as that band starts humming. In the meantime, I’ll keep iterating.We must avoid formatting, no tags, keep it short.
