A small webpage tool to play with instrumental music. Synthesizer, composer, sequencer.

Here's a more powerful one: https://hidden-realm.github.io/cardboardbox, it has additional features like customizing harmonics.

Tools and methods for investigating linux disk I/O.

LSTM gate mechanism clearly explained. I read this article years ago but it's nice to read it again.

This article discusses conventional and newer fine tuning techniques for LLM. Keyword for search: prompt tuning, prefix tuning, in-context learning, frozen layers, adaptor, LoRA.

Explore AI generated arts from various models.

An article about color vision, color space, gamma.

LLM prompting tricks and patterns.

A catalogue of AI tools and news.

A post on fine-tuning Alpaca with a lot of workable actions.

This article talks about the evolution of HTTP versions. From the earliest HTTP/0.9 where there is just a single bare GET method and supports no headers, to HTTP/3 which is completely optimized for speed and security. By the way, HTTP/0.9 resembles FTP a lot, which is interesting.

A nice showcase of powershell features.

Visualize tokenization for OpenAI models.

“Quantity creates emergence. Simple elements, complex interactions, new patterns.” -- by Bing Chat

I am always fascinated by how interesting phenomenon seem to emerge suddenly in complex systems. The recent breakthrough in Large Language Models has brought me surprises after surprises.

This article aggregates a list of articles on emergent capabilities found in LLM.

This site collects rare and (mostly) old movies not easily found on the internet.

Fast and low quality image generation from prompts. Not affiliated with OpenAI.com.

A modern typesetting tool as an alternative to TeX. The clear syntax is not a lot more complicated than markdown yet it supports a lot of typesetting features, scripting, math symbols, etc. The syntax is certainly a huge improvement comparing to the obscure TeX. I may give it a try when there is an Emacs mode for that.

An interesting approach towards procedurely generated level/room/dungeon: specify various constraints and use a solver to place the objects on the tiles.

Small utility for generating DHCP options for pushing static routes to devices via DHCP.

The article explains how to use a CA (certificate authority) with SSH (secure shell) to sign host and user keys, which allows for easier authentication and management of large numbers of machines or users.

This is a not-so-short article teeming with "Aha!" moments.

1. reduce all branching in the solution to a math expression
2. converted to a lookup algorithm
3. we need a perfect hash function
4. use multiplication + shr as bit mixer
5. store answers directly in a single u32 integer
6. cram the answers even tighter with overlaps

The post shows off lot of tricks, very interesting read.
