Anyway, have a foster cat pic
For a year I've heard how AI would shrink my brain and make me lazier, meanwhile it feel like I'm back at university, have entered fields I knew nothing about (with tangible results) and am now actually collaborating with... universities. So maybe I should block out the noise huh.

Neat.

I've graduated from doing systems crimes to existing models (Qwen3-ASR) to doing useful fine-tunings (LoRA stuff)
I love how everything in ML is fungible as composable, feels a lot more organic than software, in a good way (if you embrace it)
Can't wait to share what I've been up to
Making (or "growing") software is still just as much of a creative endeavor as before, if not more so.
It just turns out the answer to code reuse wasn't UML or Dependency Injection or even package managers but tensors and attention.
We might just have circled back to oral tradition..
I came to programming as a kid because the physical world felt limiting (and expensive), and I wanted to make stuff: computers changed my life.
Generative AI is another change of that magnitude. I've never been more excited to build, combine, learn, advance the state of the art.
we're socializing a rescue kitten before she gets adopted, and the instructions boil down to:
make her understand that when human comes in, food appears, and nothing bad happens.
which... oh my feels. I'm still learning the "nothing bad happens" part myself
Yeah Fable is in a different class than Opus... but they're both still in high school
