I have been meaning for a while to establish a setup to implement neural network based algorithms on smaller microcontrollers. After reviewing existing solutions, I felt there is no solution that I really felt comfortable with. One obvious issue is … Read more
In my last post, I discussed some work I had done building Nero, the assistant of the future that I’ve always wanted. I ended up creating an end-to-end example which used Nx, OpenAI APIs, and ElevenLabs to create an in-browser … Read more
Safari 17.4 adds vertical writing mode support for form control elements across macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and visionOS. Setting written text vertically is commonly observed in East Asian languages. For example, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) may be written vertically and … Read more
Low-rank adaptation (LoRA) is a machine learning technique that modifies a pretrained model (for example, an LLM or vision transformer) to better suit a specific, often smaller, dataset by adjusting only a small, low-rank subset of the model’s parameters. This … Read more
I like Postgres, but there are things I really wish they would implement. For example, the SQL:2011 spec adds support for system-versioned tables. Unfortunately, Postgres and SQLite are basically the only SQL databases that don’t yet support it. While it … Read more

Suppose I want to implement an interactive language – one where code is often run immediately after writing. Think scientific computing, database queries, system shells etc. So we care about both compile-time and run-time performance because we’ll usually experience their … Read more
A technical paper titled “Fast Shared-Memory Barrier Synchronization for a 1024-Cores RISC-V Many-Core Cluster” was published by researchers at ETH Zürich and Università di Bologna. “Synchronization is likely the most critical performance killer in shared-memory parallel programs. With the rise … Read more
So here’s a neat trick: If only the font was monospaced That’s the firefox address bar! And I’m playing a full game of Wordle in it! What’s going on? OpenSearch1 is a spec from the mid-2000s that describes ways to … Read more
It’s true. It turns out you can, in fact, add C-style for loops into Python. The way to get there however, was long and painful all the way to the end. Regardless, I’ve learned many things (some of which I … Read more
