Let F={f1,f2,f3,…} be a countable or perhaps larger set of atomic features; yes/no statements such as: f1: "private property is protected" f2: "banks may lend at interest" f3: "the state plans heavy industry" Such that each ideology can flip those switches on or off. We can then define an ism as a subset I⊆F purely...

I asked Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview 05-06 to write me a fun textbook-novella that simulates a graduate-level classroom learning modern Swift/iOS design patterns. This style is inspired by the book Postcapitalist Desire: The Final Lectures, which follows a classroom where a professor interacts with students. Might as well...

Presenting the ultimate interactive analog Deep Learning model training and exploration environment, where you can control every parameter like batch size, learning rate, alphas, betas, decays and what-custom-metric-you-want by just the turn of a physical knob, with immediate visual experimentation feedback, graphs,...

This is my curated list of qualities that great engineering managers exhibit. I'll try to keep this list updated as I learn more about great engineering managers. Direction, protection and order: A great leader shows their team a clear direction to take (vision), protects the team from failures and uncertainties...

Melchior and I are doing a course offered by KAIST on coursera.org. This web notes has solutions to some problems from the course. We’re pretty new to this so the solutions might contain errors. If you do find an error in the solution please write to quantum@suhas.org. Week 1(2) Suppose that a qubit is prepared in...

The DORA four keys defines (1) Deployment Frequency, (2) Lead Time for Changes, (3) Time to Restore Services, and (4) Change Failure Rate; which indicates the performance of software delivery. The DORA four keys are performance measurement metrics and fits well philosophically with the mission of any Machine...

1 Consider a world W where there are many xs (such that x ∈ X). In this experiment, we define the winner of the game as having the maximum M value (think of it to stand for "money", perhaps), i.e. more formally, x(i) is the winner at some time t if max(M(x0,t), M(x1,t), M(x2,t), ... ,M(xi,t), ...) == M(x(i),t)....

1. Getting ready(1) Leetcode problems to understand data structures and algorithms, (2) Exposure to software design patterns (e.g. event driven etc.), (3) Solid CS fundamentals by reading text books (e.g. Operating Systems, Compilers, Distributed and cloud computing), (4) ML engineering fundamentals with fast.ai or...

I reached for my pocket and took out my phone. It had just over 1% battery remaining as I breathed in deeply. The clock on my phone read 9 PM, which was about the usual time I hop off the bustling Green line, buy some milk at Ram's Metro Buy n Save, and head home for Sally. It took me a moment to realise that...

Scott & I have played innumerable chess games this year, but I will of course take this great opportunity to present my first victory against him. It's a great moment. The positions that developed in this game itself were perhaps boring -- it was a fist fight. I was lucky enough not to blunder away any piece. Below...
