As an experienced LLM user, I don’t use generative LLMs often
Lately, I’ve been working on codifying a personal ethics statement about my stances on generative AI as I have been very critical about several aspects of modern GenAI, and yet I participate in it. While working on that statement, I’ve been introspecting on how I myself have been utilizing large language models for both my […]

(ab?)using Node module hooks to speed up development
I wanted a much faster way to develop the front-end of my site. And I wanted to use JSX as the templating language but without React. And I didn’t want to be tied down to any one way of doing anything. So I made a bunch of orthogonal stuff. Half evolved into module hooks. One […]

No Instagram, No Privacy
I somehow escaped having an Instagram account. This means that I am oblivious to all of my friends’ fun broadcasted on Instagram. I don’t feel pressured either to update the abstract audience of everyone I ever connected with online, on where I am, what I am doing or who I am hanging out with. I […]
Dimension 126 Contains Twisted Shapes, Mathematicians Prove
It can be tempting to assume that your intuitions about three-dimensional space carry over to higher-dimensional realms. After all, adding another dimension simply creates a new direction to move around in. It doesn’t change the defining features of space: its endlessness and its uniformity. But different dimensions have decidedly different personalities. In dimensions 8 and […]

Show HN: VectorVFS, your filesystem as a vector database
VectorVFS is a lightweight Python package that transforms your Linux filesystem into a vector database by leveraging the native VFS (Virtual File System) extended attributes. Rather than maintaining a separate index or external database, VectorVFS stores vector embeddings directly alongside each file—turning your existing directory structure into an efficient and semantically searchable embedding store. VectorVFS […]
How linear regression works intuitively and how it leads to gradient descent
Learning, to a computer, is just turning bad guesses into better ones. In this post, we’ll see how that starts with a straight line: how linear regression makes the first guess, and gradient descent keeps improving it. Let’s start with something familiar: house prices. Bigger houses tend to cost more; smaller ones, less. It’s the […]
Geometrically understanding calculus of inverse functions (2023)
Given a function such as (tan x), could you write (frac{d}{dx} arctan x) and (int arctan x ; dx), just from (tan x), (frac{d}{dx} tan x) and (int tan x ; dx)? With some caveats, the inverse function theorem answers the former while the Legendre transformation answers the later. We’ll approach this with as much […]
