Tau
29 Jun 2026
June 29 — July 5, 2026
This week #
- Revived this site as a public record of a 6-month research engineering trajectory.
- Settled on a structure: transformers + LLM inference + efficient kernels as the core trunk; agents, SOTA papers, and TypeScript literacy as satellites.
- Blocked study time on the calendar for the next 8 weeks.
- Started a living note to track direction: Research Engineer Trajectory.
Up next #
- Read the Word2Vec paper and understand CBOW / skip-gram / negative sampling.
- Implement Word2Vec from scratch in NumPy or raw PyTorch.
- Explore Tau as a Python agent harness for MVF work.
Open questions #
- What part of the transformer/inference stack lights me up most as I go deeper?
- How much focused work can I realistically get from the 3–7pm weekday blocks?
