Fun fact: Did you know that quantizing your data into 4-bits using PyTorch’s torch.quint4x2 or bitsandbytes NF4 dtypes actually produces an 8-bit format? This is because it compacts every two 4-bit values into into a single 8-bit integer. I just wrote an in-depth article…

I used to love distill.pub for their publication format, so this is pretty cool!

I had the chance to play with Gemini 3 Pro in the last couple of days. Can’t overstate how excited I am. Translating arXiv papers into web-friendly distill.pub format is probably my personal favorite. Here’s the “Attention is all you need” paper in Distill format:

My mom goes to elderly university for free in China. It is probably the best thing they have done for elderly. She likes it so much. You can take any subject you like, no exam, no certificate, just learning for fun. She’s now learning gardening, music, philosophy, and some…

I think this is awesome because it shows that we are always reacting/responding to the perception of the environment - not the environment itself

It’s frustrating how labs like @Kimi_Moonshot, @Alibaba_Qwen, @deepseek_ai, @allen_ai, @huggingface... share their research, pipelines, and lessons openly, only for closed-source labs to quietly use that knowledge to build better models without ever giving back.

If nurturing good judgment was easy, everyone would be healthy, wealthy, talented, in loving relationships, and happy; but most people don’t know the habits they need, or where to invest their time, their energy, their money, or which people are worth keeping in their lives.…

Life gets better once you focus on who you want to become instead of what you want to achieve. The latter should merely be a direct consequence of the former. If you reach your goals, but sacrificed your well-being and all your relationships in the process, you've lost the plot.

I came to Germany in 2016 to start my PhD. Germany then was a hotbed of scientific and engineering activity. And now in a span of 9 years I have had the incredible opportunity to witness a first world country on the cusp of becoming a great superpower systematically decimate…

NOW - Germany has just blown up the cooling towers of another decommissioned nuclear power plant. This time in Gundremmingen, Bavaria.
