Reflections on programming and technology and maybe some other stuff. I will do my best to be authentic but make no promises of being useful or correct.

More pytorch paper replicating.

I didn't know you could use Conv2d for creating patches. Seems obvious now

Next up - Class and positional embeddings!

Dev log 1

I'm working on fitting some scripts to an existing codebase. Making a mind map of the important areas helped give an idea of how I can implement this naturally while keeping considerations of the current architecture.
I should start doing this more for projects with lots of moving pieces.

I am working my way through PyTorch Zero to Hero Course. On Chapter 8 - Replicating Papers. The difficulty seems to have ramped up quite a bit.

The math is tricky. I don't know if I'm making too many abstractions or not enough...

I've sorted out the patching next calculate embeddings!

Just delete social media and start reading…

I’ve tried many times. But its never stuck. Reading felt like a chore.

I just needed to prove to myself that I can enjoy reading and that I’m just overstimulated. I’ve been going strong currently reading Dark Matter.

I used to feel like I'm not improving at all as a developer.

I randomly remembered from high school that my teachers would make me write WWW(what went well) and EBI(even better if) after every exam.

Now I write this everyday after work. I am improving. I just get caught up with what I don't know.
