The first holy shit moment for AI coding was the launch of Github Copilot in October 2021. For the first time, developers had an AI partner that actually understood context and provided boilerplate code for common patterns. The second holy shit moment came a…
This book is designed to follow the course syllabus of Fundamentals of Digital Signals Theory (I) (MPATE-GE 2599) at New York University. The focus here is on digital signals, meaning discrete time signals as represented in modern computers. Unlike many other …
I intend this blogpost to be some kind of public ranting, about how I experienced LLM-based Gen-AI so far and how I am involved. I don’t claim to do any predictions in the end. My objective is not to cover everything, just dictate my thoughts so I can have spa…
After I saw Pineboards 4K Pi 5 external GPU gaming demo at Maker Faire Hanover, I decided it was time to set up my GPU test rig and see how the Pi OS amdgpu Linux kernel patch is going.
Introduction
I <3 Open Source That should be obvious by now, right? I’ve been out here blogging about Open Source stuff for over a decade, and occasionally I still have time to actually write code.
I restricted the use of dicts in my code to make it easier to follow and maintain. Here's my explanation of the benefits and advice on what you can use instead. Bonus point: what to do with all the legacy code when there's no time to eradicate all the dicts.

Architecting a modular, scalable service for seamless third-party data synchronization
I made an automated pipeline to clean data. The idea started from a paper called Minipile. This led me to a rabbit hole. If you’re careful about the data you use for training, you can can break the scaling laws. Who knew being a data snob could be so rewarding…
Cosine similarity is the recommended way to compare vectors, but what other distance functions are there? And are any of them better?
The Wordpress and open source communities have lots of thoughts on Matt Mullenweg’s actions after his talk at WordCamp. Much of this commentary has overlooked what I think is a core concern at the heart of Matt’s argument: the growing role and influence of pri…
