narration

All deliverables validated and packing to exactly 12M confirmed. I have ~45 min left. Earlier I measured the non-tech head was ~48% news vs. the target's 25% — news is over-represented, likely starving the encyclopedic/prose registers. Let me test a three-bucket quota (tech / news / other) to rebalance toward the target's equal parts.

A plain top-by-score selection floats news/prose\nto the top and starves the technical register (<0.2% of the budget), leaving a\nwhole quarter of the target badly modeled. So we detect technical documents with\na code-signal heuristic and interleave the two ranked lists to guarantee the\ntechnical register ~TECH_SHARE of the 12M-token budget, emitting the merged\npriority order until well past budget.\n\nLength-robustness: features are L2-normalized, so score reflects the *direction*\nof a document's n-gram profile, not its length or raw repetition — this avoids\nthe failure mode of raw log-likelihood-ratio ranking, which floats generic\nnavigation/list spam to the top.\n\nDev perplexity (frozen train_nano.py, multi_dev target): random selection 474.9\n-> classifier 412.3 -> +English gate 410.8 -> +25% tech 407.5 -> +35% tech 406.8.\n\"\"\"\nimport json, re, zlib, numpy as np\nfrom transformers import AutoTokenizer\n\nPOOL = \"/workspace/data/pool.jsonl\"\nDEV  = \"/workspace/data/multi_dev.npy\"\nOUT  = \"/workspace/submission/selection.json\"\n\nB = 1 << 20                 # hash buckets\nNEG_SAMPLE = 24000          # random pool docs used as negatives\nEPOCHS = 6\nLR = 0.5\nL2 = 1e-6\nSEED = 0\n\n_word = re.compile(r\"[a-z0-9]+\")\ndef words_of(s):\n    return _word.findall(s.lower())\n\n# small English function-word set — fluent prose is rich in these; navigation\n# menus / name lists / license-plate spam are not.
