Attention Is All You Need (and So Are You)

A friendly, illustrated walk through scaled dot-product attention — why softmax, why the √dₖ scaling, and how multi-head attention lets a model look in many directions at once.

A Gentle Stroll Through Fourier Land

Sines, cosines and the surprisingly cozy idea that any signal is just a chord. We build the Fourier transform from scratch, with pictures.

Eigenvalues, but Make It Cute

What does it mean for a matrix to "just stretch" a vector? An intuition-first tour of eigenvectors, spectra, and why they show up everywhere.

Bayesian Cats: Updating My Priors

A tiny cat decides whether it is dinner time. Along the way we meet priors, likelihoods and the posterior — Bayes' rule, gently.
