As AI models become more powerful, they also become harder to understand. While accuracy skyrockets, explainability often falls by the wayside. This post explores how explainable AI (XAI) is evolving to keep up with next-gen systems like large language models (LLMs) and generative tools — and why human-centered reasoning might be the next frontier. Can … Read more

Smarter AI is great — but AI you can actually trust? That’s the real game-changer. AI is now making decisions that affect everything from your bank loan to your job application. But there’s one big catch — most of the time, it doesn’t tell us why it made those decisions. That’s where Explainable AI (XAI) … Read more

We design and benchmark a cross‑platform echo & chat server that scales from laptops to low‑latency Linux boxes. Starting with a Boost.Asio baseline, we add UDP and finally an io_uring implementation that closes the gap with DPDK‑style kernel‑bypass—all while preserving a single, readable codebase. Full code is available here: https://github.com/hariharanragothaman/nimbus-echo Motivation Real‑time collaboration tools, multiplayer … Read more

Every founder dreams of that big seed round, the Series A, the venture capital influx that propels their startup into the stratosphere.

If you have ever spoken about something out loud and then seen an ad for it a few hours later, you have probably had that familiar gut reaction: “Is my phone listening to me?” In reality, it is not just your phone’s microphone.

  The rapidly evolving field of robotics is continuously seeing numerous innovations, but one in particular stands out for its efficiency: swarm robotics. The burgeoning technology draws inspiration from ants, bees, and flocks of birds, whose collective behavior allows them to accomplish more complex tasks than an individual acting on its own would be capable … Read more

Here’s something we don’t talk about enough: the resume was invented in the 1400s — and not much has changed since. n It was Leonardo da Vinci’s idea, actually. A handwritten summary of skills to win over a patron. Six centuries later, we’re still doing the same thing. Only now we upload it to an … Read more

In this blog, we will build live image search and query it with natural language. For example, you can search for “an elephant”, or a “cute animal” with a list of images as input. We are going to use multimodal embedding model to understand and embed the image, and build a vector index for efficient … Read more

Two weeks ago, I was woken up by some startling news: OpenAI’s new iteration of ChatGPT had just passed the Turing Test. Long held as a philosophical threshold of general intelligence, the Test had previously proved a difficult challenge to even the most advanced of AI models. Although the first ever documented instance of the … Read more

Over the past few months, I’ve been working solo on building LOLTV.gg — a hub for League of Legends eSports, inspired by platforms like HLTV.org (for CS) and VLR.gg (for Valorant), but with a much more modern and unique approach.

Some years back, I remember feeling fancy about my AWS Lambda and RDS setup until we had to process some large data from a CSV. In summary, it was a bad day. Database memory usage flew up, database connections flew up, my heart flew up, and the whole thing crashed in my face. Yes, you … Read more

I recently found myself working on a little side project and needed a way to log the mongoose query and keep track of how long the queries took, because they took a long time.

Recessions can bring periods of significant upheaval for investors, but what side effects should you take into account when adapting your strategy?

“Just make a simple fintech service” — that’s usually how the task gets tossed out. One line, no context, full responsibility. Everyone knows it won’t be easy, but no one tells you why. In fintech, you’re not building a single feature. You’re building a chain of dependencies where any link — payment gateways, processing providers, … Read more

When I first tried to fine-tune a language model, I discovered a paradox: the safer it sounded, the less it understood. We call this “alignment” — teaching machines to obey — but is obedience the essence of ethics or merely its costume? This article traces how fear-based morality crept into AI design and outlines an … Read more
