introducing hundomentals

In this blog I've decided to transition a lot of my long form research into a format that creates guides from the most fundamental, low-level topic in a niche up to the more abstract. From algebra up to LLM inference, from the history of the middle east to the tattoos on Pete Hegseth.

I explain a bit about why I'm going in that that direction, but the TL;DR of it is that it's unbelievably tempting and easy to completely ignore the low-level, esoteric knowledge of the systems that make up a huge part of our lives, but it's increasingly vital not to. Instead of ignoring those fundamentals, we need to get back to them and really grasp them.

Or, at least, I do.
