A /now page, in the tradition of Derek Sivers — an honest note about the three or four things I'm actually spending my hours on right now. Not the About page, not the résumé. Just the current.
Updated whenever the week gives me something worth writing down.
I'm pulling real production Q&A pairs offline, running three rerank strategies against them, and doing proper significance tests on the outcomes. Version 2 currently beats baseline by 6.4 percentage points—two more weeks of validation before I trust the number.
STACK · Python · Weaviate · Cohere Rerank · pytestTrying to write clearly about the three-layer picture — short-term, episodic, semantic — and pair it with a small working example. Rewriting chapter three a third time this week.
STACK · Long-form · ~6,000 words · Diagrams TBDAll my notes are in plain markdown. I want a tiny search box that finds things by meaning, not just keyword. Probably a weekend project if the eval pipeline wraps up on time.
STACK · FastAPI · SQLite-vec · Alpine.jsCurrent PR is 52:14 from last October. The plan is three runs a week — easy, intervals, long — with a 5km time trial every fourth week. This week was 400m×12 at 3'45" pace. The body is adapting faster than the mind.
STACK · Easy 6km · Intervals 400m×12 · Long 12kmEvery re-read hits different. This time it's the chapter on attention residue — the cost of context switching is higher than I remembered. Trying 90-minute blocks again, phone in another room.
STACK · Cal Newport · 2016Recommended by three different people in one week. That's usually a sign.
