People seem to think that writing a garbage collector is really hard, a deep magic understood by a few great sages and Hans Boehm (et al). Well it’s not. In fact, it’s rather straight forward. I claim that the hardest part in writing a GC is writing the memory allocator, which is as hard to write as it is to look up the malloc example in K&R.

With the advent of Llama 2, running strong LLMs locally has become more and more a reality. Its accuracy approaches OpenAI's GPT-3.5, which serves well for many use cases.

In this article, we will explore how we can use Llama2 for Topic Modeling without the need to pass every single document to the model. Instead, we are going to leverage BERTopic, a modular topic modeling technique that can use any LLM for fine-tuning topic representations.

Install, configure, and use Open Broadcaster Software to record how-to, promotional, and other types of videos.

Ah, C. Still the language of modern high-performance computing.

C is the lowest-level language most programmers will ever use, but it more than makes up for it with raw speed. Just be aware of its manual memory management and C will take you as far as you need to go.

Most of us last saw calculus in school, but derivatives are a critical part of machine learning, particularly deep neural networks, which are trained by optimizing a loss function. This article is an attempt to explain all the matrix calculus you need in order to understand the training of deep neural networks. We assume no math knowledge beyond what you learned in calculus 1, and provide links to help you refresh the necessary math where needed.

All the essential Deep Learning Algorithms you need to know including models used in Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing.

This is an easy to understand example based tutorial aimed at those who know nothing of awk.

In order to increase fluency in a programming language, one has to read a lot of it. But how can you read a lot of it if you don't know what it means?
In this article, instead of focusing on one or two concepts, I'll try to go through as many Rust snippets as I can, and explain what the keywords and symbols they contain mean.

Ready? Go!
