Delayed Messages on iOS
When I got my first iPhone in March I was surprised to find that iMessage didn’t support scheduling messages to be sent at a later time. This feature is pretty common on some other messaging platforms, and it’s especially useful when I remember I need to text my mom (who always has her ringer turned on) about…

A Journey into the Linux Scheduler
Two years ago more or less I started my journey in Linux. I was scared at first and I didn’t know where to start from. But then I decided to buy a book - and what a book! - in order to follow a path. Along the way, I integrated the material with up-to-date documentation from kernel.org and source code. In the…

RETRO is fast
When I first read Google’s RETRO paper, I was skeptical. Sure, RETRO models are 25x smaller than the competition, supposedly leading to HUGE savings in training and inference costs. But what about the new trillion token “retrieval database” they added to the architcture? Surely that must add back some computational…
