Blogroll

I love reading blogs, some are really worth their weight in gold. Here is my list of neat blogs you can explore!

These are the blogs about software enginnering in general, which are actually useful.

Neel Nanda – His blogs and other content are golden. Basically, DeepMind’s Mechanistic Interpretability team lead teaches you about MI, doing research, and transformers.
Callum Mcdougall – DeepMind interpretability team (again). Also cofounder of ARENA. Bits of MI, Effective Altruism, Maths, Transformers (again).
Nicholas Carlini – Research Scientist at Anthropic. Well-known for adversial machine learning research. Lots of topics inside.

The entire team is really amazing.

Erik Bernhardsson – The CEO of Modal, also worked on Spotify’s Recommendation Systems. Hard geek about management. Half of blog posts are about constructing mathematical models for team iteration speed, hiring methods and interviewing lol
Jonathon Belotti
Erik Zhang
Modal Blog – and of course, the company blog! Linear Programming for Fun and Profit is very fun.

If you felt like your coding did not have enough maths, differential privacy is very fun!

A friendly, non-technical introduction to differential privacy – THE blog to learn differential privacy, unless you want to start by reading whitepapers.

If you felt like your maths did not have enough coding, Ben Recht’s blog is very fun!

Wilson Lin – his blog post on building a web search engine from scratch is absolutely ridiculous. Casually does a company-worth engineering output as a side-project.
incident.io team – small, easy-to-digest posts about various engineering topics. Tracking build times to decide buying M3 Macbooks is very fun.
Kuter Dinel – compilers and GPUs. His blog is not updated but is nice to visit.
Alperen Keleş – property-based testing, with some sprinkles of functional programming and type systems. Also contains Turkish posts about life as a US PhD student for those interested.
