  1. POIMemory: A Robotic Memory HarnessA SOTA embodied robotic memory harness that stores and retrieves Places of Interest for navigation
  2. Builder's Desk: My local LLM Developer setupQwen 3.6 35B A3B MTP + pi + tailscale has freed me from agent subscriptions. It has shocked me a lot. No more token anxiety, just pure work productivity
  3. Evaluating Qwen 3.5 on FindingDory: A Robotic Memory BenchmarkMost robotics benchmarks test task completion. FindingDory tests whether it can remember yesterday. I ported the benchmark to Python 3.10 and benchmarked Qwen 3.5's ability to retrieve memories from past trajectories and navigate to recalled locations.
  4. How to GPIO with Jetson Orin NanoI have been playing with my Jetson Orin Nano Super, trying to make it do things. It was touted as the Raspberry Pi for the AI age. What…
  5. Drudgery is anti-humanThis is a polemic against an already disliked adjective. No one likes repetitive mundane toil. Drudgery is evil Then why write this piece…
  6. Training a dumb simple R1-like LLMDeepseek R1 has shown how Reinforcement Learning with simple rewards are enough achieve SOTA on benchmarks. The simplicity inspired me to…
  7. Sci Fi stories don't seem that distant anymoreI have been consuming a series of really good sci-fi media since the start of 2024 which got me imagining and evaluating near-future…
  8. LLMs with Facts and TruthLLMs like ChatGPT are built to generate words using their billions of weights trained over a significant portion of the crawled internet…
  9. 2021 as a builderSo much for my 2021 resolution. I want to take a moment to reflect and list out all of the products I made since the pandemic started and in…
  10. How YouTube and I built the same thingMy new year resolution was to make a project that achieves some sort of product-market-fit. I did some prospecting (just like the old days…
Do not quit, stay humble, just do things.
