Page: Feed: --- ## [When Devotion becomes Obedience](https://buddha.bearblog.dev/when-devotion-becomes-obedience/) _2026-08-19 · buddha · Eternal Journal_ About two years ago, I went to a local Shiva temple in Ujjain, one of the famous 84, for a family ritual. The head priest there is a friend of my brother. So we had no problem in making all the arrangements. We started the ritual, and in the middle of it, a very natural query came to my mind, "Sir, why is this shivling form cylindrical?" "Shivling is formless. You can pray to it however you like,"… ## [GridTree DevLog 015: Move Aside, Refocus!](https://linkslabs.substack.com/p/gridtree-devlog-015-move-aside-refocus) _2026-08-09 · Nathan Tibbetts · Links Labs Development Log_ Testing Multi-Directional Cascades, "Move" Progress, And a Side Quest for Stable Views and Infinite Zoom ## [Nails](https://buddha.bearblog.dev/nails/) _2026-07-23 · buddha · Eternal Journal_ -- This is a personal post. I'll be writing professional some other day -- A while ago I wanted to control my habits of biting nails because of unnecessary melanin deposits I formed around the skin surrounding my hand nails. It was also because I've been growing really conscious around my body that I had been neglecting for years. And one random day, I stopped eating nails and never looked back...… ## [GridTree DevLog 014: Delete Complete!](https://linkslabs.substack.com/p/gridtree-devlog-014-delete-complete) _2026-07-18 · Nathan Tibbetts · Links Labs Development Log_ Iteratively "Collapsing" My Problems ## [GridTree DevLog 013: Rectangular Convex Trim (A Coding Problem)](https://linkslabs.substack.com/p/gridtree-devlog-013-rectangular-convex) _2026-07-07 · Nathan Tibbetts · Links Labs Development Log_ Cleaning Up After Deleted Nodes (July 2026) ## [GridTree DevLog 012: Cleaning Up Empty Space](https://linkslabs.substack.com/p/gridtree-devlog-012-cleaning-up-empty) _2026-06-19 · Nathan Tibbetts · Links Labs Development Log_ Wait, we need LESS empty space...? (June 2026) ## [The not-X-but-Y machine: Differentiating non-human articles from human ones](https://buddha.bearblog.dev/the-not-x-but-y-machine/) _2026-05-27 · buddha · Eternal Journal_ This will be short since a lot of similar articles exist. This takes forward the inference drawn from an article by Sean Goedecke that concludes that em-dashes are not a modern phenomenon and were used by authors way too much between late 1800s and early 1900s. Since the SOTA models around October last year included high quality literature from that time period that had ~30% more em-dashes than… ## [Pardon, What’s a Filesystem?](https://linkslabs.substack.com/p/pardon-whats-a-filesystem) _2026-03-23 · Links Labs Development Log_ A Non-Technical Technical Explanation that Supposedly Has Nothing to Do with How It Works ## [A Better Language](https://buddha.bearblog.dev/a-better-language/) _2025-07-05 · buddha · Eternal Journal_ This is inspired from a blog on how the urge to shorten is a human nature, and life becomes overly simplified as a product of more information transfer in a shortened context. We have evolved. A lot. A thought of ours contains variables, each with their own weight. It has some bias, some loose strings, assumptions and a lot more abstract. When I want to convey this same abstract to another person,… ## [A rare state of awareness](https://buddha.bearblog.dev/a-rare-state-of-awareness/) _2025-06-01 · buddha · Eternal Journal_ I had been feeling weird today. Weird not as in any disregard for life. I'm consciously aware of innumerable things I've done in my life, people I've been among with and all the quanta of gratitude that I've been practising since I became aware. Today was a weird day. Since a long time I've felt this inability towards action. But I've frankly revolted against and been able to figure out my life… ## [Trade Smarter With IBKR (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/dnft4W4U1K6k) _2025-06-01 · **Sponsored**_ Join Interactive Brokers through a referral and start investing with low-cost global access. ## [On patience](https://buddha.bearblog.dev/on-patience/) _2025-05-27 · buddha · Eternal Journal_ I've spent a considerable time alone with myself, whether being isolated forcefully, due to the demand of situations or withdrawal from social life itself. These might be seen as some big words, coming from someone who has just started his adult life consciously, will weigh down heavily when it comes to how managing your peaceful time. I saw this post on X (formerly, Twitter) that beautifully… ## [Re learning Machine Learning](https://buddha.bearblog.dev/re-learning-machine-learning/) _2025-05-18 · buddha · Eternal Journal_ Starting with a full fledged revision of my mathematical love, Machine Learning. I'm calling this RLML. Not the typical 'Reinforcement', I mean if you go literally, ..., well anyways RLML. ## [200 days of tech](https://buddha.bearblog.dev/200-days-of-tech/) _2025-05-15 · buddha · Eternal Journal_ This is more of an undertaking that I'm considering to take as my knowledge base has profoundly been affected since last November. I had been in a recursive job-application mode. And now that I think about it, it has shrinked according to the current time period. Though competent, I'm unable to expand it at will, which was not the case before November. Hence the undertaking. I'll be reading,… ## [Building conscious machines](https://buddha.bearblog.dev/building-conscious-machines/) _2025-05-13 · buddha · Eternal Journal_ A while ago I slipped past this post on X (formerly, Twitter). This is a peek for the thesis by Mr. Bennett on How to build conscious machines. He has written on a broad range of topics surrounding consciousness. My personal favorite being Computational Dualism and Objective Superintelligence . Back to the subject, how to REALLY build, conscious machines? We start from defining consciousness. By… ## [ML Engineering vs Quick feature building](https://buddha.bearblog.dev/ml-business/) _2025-04-04 · buddha · Eternal Journal_ This is a topic that in the recent times has invited a lot of controversial thoughts and opinions. After the advent of highly competent LLMs, everyone has been on the edge of vibe coding everything when they often overlook years of engineering put into place by the team that built the SaaS. While building a product from scratch is not as rigorous as it used to be, what matters is how you redefine… ## [On the importance of good research](https://buddha.bearblog.dev/good-research/) _2025-03-28 · buddha · Eternal Journal_ We're often bounded by the limitations of knowledge base that is already available to us. Oftentimes we are stuck in the same loop time and time again while solving a larger problem. Chunks of the same issue keep popping up. This is where documentation comes into play. This where a single publication recording patterns of the same stuff over and over again, helps the seekers stand on the shoulder…
