Learning
An LLM from scratch
Porting a TypeScript walkthrough of how LLMs work into plain Python, to understand every bit of the maths. The tokenizer is done.
Research
Bias in Nepali LLM use
NepaBias: four metrics (SDS, RQSD, HWFD, ACWR) for gender bias in recruitment, scholarship and recommendation-letter text.
Systems
Networks, from the bottom
DNS first, then the layers below it, in Rust.
Interest map
How it all connects
Interests, projects and tools. Tap a node to light up its neighbours; project nodes open their case study.

About
What I keep coming back to
1
Following a packet
What happens between pressing enter and the page arriving.
2
Models that disagree
A good assistant should sometimes say no. I like measuring when it doesn’t.
3
The boring layer
DNS, queues, containers: the stuff that decides whether the shiny layer works.
4
Odd little tools
A DNS server, a chat app, a benchmark. Things I wished existed.
