Vector search: HNSW in twenty minutes
How approximate nearest-neighbour search gets sub-linear without a space-partitioning tree.
Ml
Quantization notes: int8, fp8 and what you actually lose
Where the bits go, why outliers ruin everything, and the per-channel trick that saves them.
Data-parallel training: gradient bucketing and overlap
Why DDP feels like magic until you look at the allreduce schedule.
A minimal, reproducible Docker setup for ML experiments
Pin everything, mount data, never bake it. The boring setup that stopped me losing runs.
KV cache, and why LLM inference is memory-bound
The cache that makes autoregressive decoding fast also makes it the thing that runs out of memory first.
