It’s been a hectic week. Lots of work, meetings, and things to get done. I still have things on my list. I might have to work a bit tomorrow. I continued with my regular P.T sessions. I could also play last Saturday, which was fun. BTW, welcome to the second half of 2026.
I was looking for an alternative to Tinkercad to simulate building, coding, and running Arduino projects. SimulIDE Circuit Simulator seemed like an ideal candidate. SimulIDE is a simple real time electronic circuit simulator, intended for hobbyist or students to learn and experiment with analog and digital electronic circuits and microcontrollers.

Embeddings are numerical representations of real-world objects, such as words, phrases, text, images, audio, and video. Since the real world is so complex, these representations are usually vector arrays of floating-point numbers. This helps computers process meaning, context, and semantic relationships using distances and directions between vectors. Word2Vec and FastText Embeddings are learned...

I sent this email to all workshop attendees. It made sense to publish it as a post as well. Thank you for attending the “Back to Basics: Build Your Own LLM from Scratch” session. It was great to see so much curiosity and many questions in the room, the feedback many of you...
