Just before Christmas, I've stumbled upon Machine Learning Engineering Open Book by Stas Bekman. It's a book I've long been looking for – a collection of insights on operating a large GPU cluster and using it to train and run LLMs: AI accelerators, fast intra-node and inter-node networking, optimized cluster storage, large-scale LLM training and inference, with lots of first-hand experience on these topics. I want to share my key takes from the book as well as other excellent resources I've...| Ten thousand meters
How do we establish authentic connections? How do we get in touch with one another in such a way that we are both honoured in what we are, and yet we remain fully open to the other?

To some extent, this social scaffolding is necessary and helpful. Yet, it a...| Dhammavicaya
Turning 38 in a bit more than a month from now, I’m discovering that there is a truth in distinguishing different phases in life.

Now, I do. I remember my childhood (‘phase one’) as relatively scattered, as something growing in different directions in different ways, of...| Dhammavicaya

XIII - Death. | Sacred Tarot
Until recently, I've hardly used reversals in my tarot activities, preferring instead to consider the light and shadow aspects of each card as they appear. Over recent weeks however, I've been fortunate enough to learn a little of the Enneagram system of personality classification and my attitude towards reversals has begun to change, particularly where the court cards are concerned.| Sacred Tarot
This past month, I read from my novel to two very different audiences. The first was at The Rubin Museum in New York City as part of an event called Writing Sacred Lhasa.
