RNN vs. CNN vs. Autoencoder vs. Attention/Transformer: A Practical Guide with PyTorch Deep learning has evolved rapidly, offering a toolkit of neural architectures for various data types and tasks. Among the most influential are Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Autoencoders, and the modern Attention/Transformer models.But how do Read more
Detailed Notes: RAG, Agents, and Memory in AI Applications 1. Task Solving and Context Instructions vs. Context: Instructions: General, static for the application (how to solve). Context: Specific to each query (what info to use). Missing context → AI more likely to hallucinate or err. Two Major Context Patterns: RAG Read more
If you are familiar with socket programming, you would be aware that send and recv are usually blocking calls. This means that the code execution will be blocked until they are successfully resolved. This prevents us from writing TCP servers that can respond to multiple clients. However, there are different Read more
The Least Recently Used (LRU) cache is a cache eviction algorithm that organizes elements in order of use. In LRU, as the name suggests, the element that hasn’t been used for the longest time will be evicted from the cache.
I recently started using Emacs for text editing purposes and was pleasantly surprised. My main goal to learn it was to work efficiently in teams that don’t have a nice local dev environment and you need to have a dev machine running to run, build, and debug your code.I started Read more
AdBlock for blocking ads. also adblock plus Go Fucking Work is what I use to block sites like Reddit or Facebook so that I don’t get distracted. Grammarly is a grammar-checking extension for you to improve any writing. (It’s also available for Firefox and Safari if you use those.) Lastpass is the password Read more
C++ hasn’t yet caught up with implementing 2D arrays like other languages yet. So there is no inbuilt 2D array in C++.But lose no hope, with some template programming to the rescue we can create our own multidimensional data structure. Here is a basic design of how a 2d Array Read more
Below is an implementation of thread-safe queue using synchronization primitives.
There are 2 ways in C++ to get the size of an array. The first is using run-time computation with sizeof, but there is a better compile-time way to compute the size. The way to do it as follows: Note: char* is not the same as char[]. When you do Read more
Topological Sort is used to find a linear ordering of elements that have dependencies on each other. For example, if event ‘B’ is dependent on event ‘A’, ‘A’ comes before ‘B’ in topological ordering. Lets say we are asked to find all possible variations of topological sort. There are ‘N’ tasks, Read more
