In a separate post, I did a selective pass over the development of artificial neural networks to highlight baked in design choices.

🌱 Writing a minimalist neural network from scratch is a perfect way to get to know your way around the essential components.

🌱 A tiny exploration of plotting math functions in Rust. 🌱

🌱 notes 🌱 Python is the defacto language of machine learning.

🌱 notes 🌱 Understanding Rust’s approach to memory management is essential to understanding Rust programs and writing idiomatic Rust.

🌱 notes 🌱 Developers’ ML workflows How I write code using Cursor: A review

🌱 notes 🌱 I’ve been working in Python and learning Rust, ignoring Go for a few months.

🌱 One of my 2024 batch goals at Recurse is to learn a bit of Rust.

I was first welcomed into the Recurse community in the fall of 2021, then returned for a second batch in the summer of 2024.

🌱 notes 🌱 During my second batch at RC, I joined a study group to cover the materials from Callum McDougall’s Alignment Research Engineer Accelerator aka ARENA program which is normally delivered by LISA: the London Initiative for Safe AI.

Welcome! 👋 In the past, I’ve used a few other platforms for (sporadically) posting my writing (see Medium and Substack Posts).

🌱 notes 🌱 Where to begin? Just starting out in machine learning?

During my first Recurse Center retreat in the fall of 2021, I started learning Python in earnest (along with a little React on the side), worked on code craftsmanship, and started to fill in the gaps of my non-CS background on any aspects of computing I happened across during study sessions or while pairing with fellow Recursers.

In addition to research publications, I have a small collection of prior publicly-shared works on Medium and Substack.

This post shares a bit about the translational geroscience portfolio I nurtured into being at the University of Oxford between early 2019 and mid-2021.

Scaling biohacking Longevity intervention can be a loaded expression, too often carrying the weight of association with quests for immortality.

Notes from James Mickens’ talk at USENIX Security ‘18. If you haven’t seen James’ talk and have an hour to view his actual keynote, please do yourself a favor and just go see his talk.

Caveat emptor! Written in November 2017. Progress in AI is astonishingly rapid: this is inevitably out of date.

Much of the complexity of the human body is shrouded in mystery.
