Trackmania 2020 AI

What is this about? I’ve messed around with LLMs a lot over the past few months and decided to take a break from that. I wanted to learn more about Reinforcement Learning (RL). I’ve been thinking about it for a while but didn’t have an interesting game to try it for. I saw a video …

My experiments with LLMs 1

I’ve been somewhat obsessed with Large (LLM) Language Models lately. I hadn’t paid much attention to them until ChatGPT was released. I had seen articles about GPT, GPT-2 and so on here and there, but I didn’t think it was that special at the time. Then I tried out ChatGPT, and it …

RFID (13.56MHz) Part 1

On my road to get more familiar with microcontrollers I bought an RFID module kit. It came with a MFRC522 module, a blue RFID key holder and a white RFID card. Of course there are some libraries to deal with this module more easily, but I decided that doing everything from scratch would teach me …

Playing around with linux kernel

No distribution I have wondered if you could run vanilla Linux kernel all on its own without any kind of distribution. I knew about Linux from scratch, which is basically a tutorial on how to create your own Linux system. I haven’t worked my way through that book, but it’s a great way of …

My growing interest in space exploration

Lately I’ve been strongly interested in space exploration. It probably has a lot to do with my diminishing interest in programming. I think the seed of my new interest started from seeing SpaceX landing orbital boosters. It looks so epic, especially the Falcon Heavy launch where they landed 2 …

I happened to read article on how earliest images of the moon were better than people realised. That made me curious about the images and I found that they are available on NASA PDS Imaging Node The images are in raw 16bit integer format and need to be converted into something that a modern computer …

Compiling WebAssembly with LLVM/Clang

As you might already know the recommended tool to compile WebAssembly is by using emscripten. Basically emscripten can do everything for you: providing libc, OS emulation layer, a lot of the common libraries and even a HTML template with all the necessary Javascript boilerplate.

New blog

Here we go again Not the first one It has probably been about a year since I took down my previous blog. I took it down because I figured the content was really low quality for the most part. I don’t think I had any regular readers so I doubt anyone actually cared. Before I took it down I also …
