I suppose one of a few examples when a picture is totally not worth a thousand words, if a picture is made by me

I guess I miscommunicated it. I meant I'd call everything a tensor but for some smaller dimensions we have specific names. Of course, 1D can still be a tensor and so is 6D or nD.

I wish we used something else but Python as the default ML language, so that some advanced type system would work for us to ensure tensor shapes and compatibility.

Not in a general mathematical sense, of course. Rather carthesian tensors. Seems like for most libraries it's `numpy.ndarray`: https://docs.tinygrad.org/tensor/ or https://docs.pyt…

Was doing a similar thing for plain HTML zines: https://github.com/zserge/zine - write each page as html, render as page previews in browser and as a folded zine when printed

Reminds me of a good old arduino shell, Bitlash - https://github.com/billroy/bitlash/wiki/commands

A slightly larger implementation at the end of the post does that to some extent - https://github.com/zserge/kalk (CSV import export, Excel-like "locking" of rows/columns like $A$1…

It's a common CPU vs RAM decision to make. Dependency graph consumes memory, while recalculating everything for a number of iterations could happen on stack one formula at a time i…

A little computer vision library for embedded systems, by magnitudes smaller than OpenCV, but still practical enough to do feature tracking or cascade detections. Works well on ESP…

I think that's how it all started: https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings

You might be right, but the only place where regexps are applied in code is for validating resource text fields (which is optional). Those regexps are defined in read-only schemas …

In hindsight, JSONL would have been much easier to deal with as a developer. But I still don't regret picking CSV -- DB interface is pluggable (so one can use JSONL if needed), and…

Like others have guessed, I limited myself to what Go stdlib offers. Since it's a personal/educational project -- I only wanted to play around with this sort of architecture (simil…

To be fair, the project is linked to the blog post I recently wrote, so it's merely a tiny personal/educational project. I tried to experiment with an API similar to what k8s api s…

So that things like React could be distributed as a collection of hundreds of interconnected single-function tiny modules?

So, it's only Liechtenstein and Monaco being the correctly mapped European countries?

A while ago I created an even smaller typeface (2x3) but that is barely readable without memorising certain glyphs: https://zserge.com/posts/tiny-font/

I appreciate the fact that it contains shortcuts for such words as "endeavour" (EDV), "ecclesiastic" (EC), "notwithstanding" (NWG) or "vehemence" (VMC) being a dictionary of the "b…

I hike across Liechtenstein from time to time. A very light but picturesque set of trails for one day (30-50km). I usually start at the south border in a Switzerland town, cross th…

Would it be possible to train an LLM from scratch that would speak Toki Pona? 120 word dictionary over a reduced alphabet would mean a tiny number of possible tokens and theoretica…

https://zserge.com -- minimal software, learning how things work by building them

A similar toy git in Go (but probably smaller and more limited): https://zserge.com/posts/git/

There's also https://github.com/zserge/fenster which is fairly minimal and comes with Go bindings out of the box.
