In this post we look under the hood of BrightData's SDK and how it turns ordinary consumer TVs into exit nodes of an enormous commercial, residential proxy network leveraged by the AI industry to scrape web data and train language learning models.

A practical reflection on why coding agents lose the thread between sessions, and why the repository itself is the right place to preserve it.

Inspired by the role of sleep in biological continual learning, we introduce RVW, a trans- former architecture for online continual adaptation of pretrained models. RVW maintains a small pool of per-layer experts that grow and prune in response to distribution shift, with no replay buffer and no explicit task identifier. Applied to TinyLlama-1.1B on a 15,000- chunk six-domain stream, RVW reaches 40 average held-out PPL, substantially better than EWC (158), fine-tuning (164), and LoRA (448) on the same parameter-matched base, while preserving prior-domain performance. Threshold sweeps suggest a combinatorial encoding reading: domain knowledge appears to be carried by routing patterns across layers rather than by individual specialized experts.

Your broken harness is actively making the model worse. Here's what I keep seeing after years of eyeballing trajectories, and what you need to fix.

Some basic notes on how to get JAX to load data to a particular device.
