Codex chapter-by-chapter audit findings applied across vol1 and vol2:
prose rewrites where the cited source supported only a narrower or
adjacent claim, plus new audit tooling
(book/tools/scripts/build_citation_reference_packets.py and the
companion workflow doc).
Author-form cleanup pass on top of the audit:
- 19 narrative @key conversions where prose already named the author
(e.g., "Sambasivan et al. describe ... [@sambasivan2021]" -> narrative
"@sambasivan2021 describe ...", rendering "Sambasivan et al. (2021)
describe ...") - removes the citeproc duplication that the
manual-bracket regex did not catch.
- 4 [-@key] suppressed-author conversions for possessive eponyms
(Han et al., Vaswani et al., Patarasuk and Yuan, Linnainmaa).
- 2 [-@key] conversions where the prose names an author/entity that
matches the cited author (Patterson and Hennessy's iron law,
Google's data centers + Google whitepaper).
- 1 Horowitz footnote rewritten to narrative so the inline year
replaces a duplicated "(ISSCC 2014, ...) (Horowitz 2014)" pair.
- 1 narrative @russell2021 anchoring "As Russell argues" that was
previously a bare attribution.
- 1 pre-existing narrative fix for "Graham et al. report ..." in
collective_communication that had no cite on the line.
Pre-commit cleanups landing with this commit:
- subramanya2019diskann: add publisher = Curran Associates (NeurIPS
proceedings, per bib-check rule 3).
- Remove orphaned @misc{Wu2016} GNMT bib entry in vol2; it had no
citations and collided case-insensitively with @inproceedings{wu2016}
(the cited Quantized CNNs paper) under bibtex-tidy's normalization.
- vol1/training/training.qmd: drop the dead UtilizationGap LEGO cell
(gpu_real_tflops_*, cluster_*_tflops_*) and the dead
TrainingModels.{gpt3_gpu_years,gpt3_compute_cost}_str exports plus
their unused upstream values.
- vol2/distributed_training/distributed_training.qmd: anchor the
orphaned [^fn-parameter-server] footnote on the body-prose mention
of "parameter-server systems" rather than deleting the definition.
manual-bracket hook (book-check-refs) green at this tip.
