Essays
- Part 2The same thing again, with the numbersThe same loop as part one, this time in about forty lines of Python, with every number small enough to check by hand.
- Part 1How a machine learns to finish your sentenceEvery chatbot you have used is doing one thing over and over. Here is that thing, with nothing hidden and nothing assumed.
Process
How this is made
I use AI tools when researching, when writing, and when building this site. I do not think that is a flaw, but I do think it is worth saying.
The rule behind it is simple: if I have not understood something myself, it does not get published. Every explanation here is checked against the sources, and where I am unsure, I say so. I stand behind every sentence on this site.
About
Who writes this
I taught myself AI engineering over the last few years. No course, no mentor, nobody to ask at eleven at night when something refused to click.
The stubborn part was always the same. I would read a paragraph, understand every single word in it, and still have no idea what it meant. Then I would read something else, come back a month later, and the same paragraph would be obvious. Nothing about it had changed. I had.
I do not think anyone explains this badly. You can only write from where you are standing, and I kept being somewhere else.
So these essays go slowly on purpose. Plain words, start at the beginning, every term explained the first time it turns up. If something looks like magic, I take it apart. None of the ideas here are mine. The only thing I am adding is the way in.
