Life Lessons from Machine Learning
What comes to mind when you hear the term “Machine Learning”? A bunch of programmers hunched over their computers in a dark room, working on something completely virtual & divorced from reality…

Reproducing DeepSeek's MHC: When Residual Connections Explode
DeepSeek replaced standard residuals with massive Hyper-Connections, and then watched them explode. I reproduced the 9x signal amplification to understand their fix: the Sinkhorn-Knopp algorithm. Part 1 of 2.

QVQ-Max: Think with Evidence
QWEN CHAT GITHUB HUGGING FACE MODELSCOPE DISCORD Introduction Last December, we launched QVQ-72B-Preview as an exploratory model, but it had many issues. Today, we are officially releasing the first version of QVQ-Max, our visual reasoning model. This model can not only “understand” the content in images and videos…

Towards the Cutest Neural Network
I recently needed to use a microcontroller to estimate the pose (translation and orientation) of an object using readings from six different sensors. Since the readings were non-linear and coupled with each other, an explicit analytical solution was out of the question.

An Overview of Bayesian Inference (2019)
A few weeks ago I wrote about Kuhn’s theory of paradigm shifts and how it relates to Bayesian inference. In this post I want to back up a little bit and explain what Bayesian inference is, and eventually rediscover the idea of a paradigm shift just from understanding how Bayesian inference works.

The AI wildfire is coming. it's going to be painful and healthy
AI won’t crash—it will burn. Like every tech cycle, the fire will clear the brush, redistribute talent, and leave infrastructure to power what comes next. The question is: what kind of plant are you?

Complexity No Bar to AI
Critics of AI risk suggest diminishing returns to computing (formalized asymptotically) means AI will be weak; this argument relies on a large number of questionable premises and ignoring additional resources, constant factors, and nonlinear returns to small intelligence advantages, and is highly unlikely.

No LLM Code in Dependencies
I've spent about 100 hours of work over the past month to make sure git-annex can build without dependencies that contain LLM generated code. At least so far.
