  • A few of my favorite things

    Good things should be shared. These are just a few of the things that spark joy for me and I think more people should know about them.

  • Rules without procedures

    I wanted to implement Go by stating the rules and letting the behavior emerge. It mostly worked. The hard part wasn't the logic.

  • On training data

    What makes a good pretraining dataset, and why the answer is harder than it looks.

  • Notes on the Eastern Sierra

    A few days in the mountains, mostly off-trail, thinking about nothing in particular.

  • How I think about Go

    The board game has a way of teaching you something new every time you sit down, whether you win or not.
