A corner of the internet where I think in public.
Today is 26th May 2026. It feels exactly like how Arjuna felt in the Mahabharata war, what to do and what not to do, but the difference is whether to embrace the AI slop and this whole FOMO and hype-driven market, or just be stagnated. At the same time, it feels like the best time to do the things, change the world. The market dynamics are changing, to everything, and at the same time it feels…
⊕ jump bunny jump Problem goes like this: There are 100 holes in a line and there is bunny🐇 hiding in one of them. You can only look in one hole at a time, every time you look it jumps to adjacent hole. What’s your strategy? Take a breath. Think before reading on. I found this through Uli’s blog . Uli tried the obvious “smart” strategy (always check the most probable hole) and found it barely…
You wake up and see someone playing guitar. Now you want to play guitar. ⊕ jump bunny jump You see someone with great physique. Now you want that body. Hardware,Software, AI, Design, Hacking, Painting… the list never ends and every new thing feels urgent. Her’s the pattern: You spend hours researching the hobby/skill. Watching videos, reading threads, gathering information as much as you can. It…
When I came across Turbopuffer , a vector database built entirely on object storage, I got curious. Really curious. The architecture seemed almost too simple. Write-ahead logs on S3? Centroid-based indexes ? Stateless query nodes ? It felt like someone had taken all the “rules” of database design and just… ignored them. I wanted to understand the tradeoffs myself. Not by reading more blog posts,…
I graduated last month, and my GSoC project along with my startup work finally wrapped up. To take a proper break and enjoy some deliberate downtime (even a bit of healthy boredom), I decided to spend the weekend building a bytebeat player, something I’d been wanting to do for ages, just for fun. This was my first time with Zig, and I actually enjoyed writing the code, writing Zig feels like C…
While working on fastbrew , I went into the rabbit hole of SAT, short for Boolean satisfiability . It is quite interesting. For my application I am rewriting brew’s package manager to be faster and more reliable, so it does not update dozens of packages every time I install something and it does not break the ones I already use. § A Package Manager Puzzle Let’s start with a real-life scenario to…
This summer, I worked on making automatic differentiation reliable and stable for the Enzyme project through Google Summer of Code. This post details the challenges I tackled and the solutions I implemented to bridge the gap between Rust’s type system and Enzyme’s requirements. § What is Enzyme AutoDiff? Enzyme is an LLVM-based automatic differentiation (AD) framework that can differentiate…
I recently took on an exciting challenge from Succinct Labs to optimize their RISC-V emulator. What started as a simple performance improvement task turned into a deep dive into systems optimization, profiling, and understanding the subtle art of making code run fast. § The Challenge Succinct Labs created a challenge to improve their RISC-V emulator performance. Their emulator processes about 2…
cursor is Ai powered code editor, it is a game changer for me, I use it for everything, from writing to coding to thinking to everything, i bought the pro version, i am able to use all the models from one place from asking question to whatever i want, for $20 a month is fair deal, cause rather than buying many subscription, i can use one, and i can use all the models from one place, but this was…
Recently participated in hackathon organized by IIT Ghandhinagar and IIEC(their startup incubator), they recived 200 individual appications, and from them they only selected 50, and the best part which i liked was team was formed by them, so there was little suprise element with new team, and all were random dudes, some guy was from pune, hydrabad, IIT bombay etc… let’s start from some stats to…
TL;DR: Value substance over status My current twitter feed is taken over by this, i wrote xyz from scratch in c,rust,python etc… don’t know but this feels not right, i mean like it has become some kind of trend, and where things are going feels wrong. I am not against writing things from scratch, it’s great, one will learn lot of things, but the way it is being done now, it feels like people are…
Have you ever felt you are doing work, but you are always disappointed from your work, like that feeling, I can do better than this, you try but still nothing significant, but people which are in your local maxima are always finding it good and appreciating it, and getting fomo from it, tbh, it sucks! people around you are trying their best but they are missing the taste in their work, to produce…
We all at some point of time have done this, where we pertented/faked to be someone who we are not, just to get other people’s attention or by overthinking of how other people will pecieve us, how they will juduge us, someone can say that there is nothing wrong or bad in this, someone say that it is good thing if done with awarness and care, like most people say fake it till you make it, but what…
If you’re new to tech or just getting started, you’ll often hear the advice to contribute to open source. It’s great advice advice that everyone should consider. There are many reasons why this advice is commonly given and many people ask me how should i start contributing to open source, so this is my answer. Firstly, we all build upon each other’s work in the tech industry. We stand on the…
Things/topic/area which I like to explore and make some things & experiment: Writing lisp compiler in ts, rust and go(why lisp, because in language you can modify it’s own code and write another compiler, if i manged to do that, that means i have somewhat understanding of language, watch this Exploring CRDT and implementing, and understanding it from bottom, how can we push multiplayer experience…
I Was listening to debate between hotz and Eliezer(i don’t know how to read or write the name, i am sorry but i copied it from google), i have been consuming both’s work, have little bias towards hotz, he makes little sens to me maybe because i/people(may be) like rebellious people than normal, the other guy seemed talking much in jargons and heavy words, like trying to prove something, he has…
We were actually very happy by getting lost in the big campus, our campus is small but it looks maze because of it’s architecture, but all weren’t happy by getting lost in campus, some stranger were visiting for the first time, some students were getting late for their classes, in fact i have seen some professors getting lost, We had opportunity to solve this problem in hackathon, from many other…
Creativity What is that? Wiki says it is a “Cognitive process whereby something new and somehow valuable is formed”, but I don’t agree with it, because everything around us is an evolved version whose roots go back to nature, as René Girard’s mimetic theory, says “Man is the creature who does not know what to desire, and he turns to others in order to make up his mind. We desire what others desire…
update: after 1 year, slowly understanding how dots are connecting, when i wrote this wasn’t able to see the point, but now it make sense. It was sunny day and we were taught C language in the college, and I got to know first time that, We have to write a program on the paper in the exam, like literally hand written, I was like WTF!, it doesn’t make any sense, but it is the system which is running…
Imagine you never have to work for just to get food on your table, world hunger will be no more problem in the world, human can focus on more important problem and creative work. You will say then how are we are going to get food to survive ? Same as plant gets, a guy said from the future. So let’s deep dive in this possibility: Let’s first understand how Photosynthesis work, and what is it, I…
