There's a gap nobody talks about in backend development.
You can build APIs. You can wire up a database. You can deploy a service.
But ask you to design a complete system from scratch and it suddenly feels abstract. Overwhelming. Like everyone else knows something you don't.
Fearless Concurrency on the GPU
For those interested @melibol just posted a paper on building a safe Rust kernel programming abstraction on top of Tile IR.

A short teaser: but the safety is effectively free. On a B200, the safe GEMM is competitive with cuBLAS: about 2 PFlop/s 92% of the GPU's dense f16 roofline.

He will also be giving a talk at RustConf in September, hopefully he will see you there!
Sometimes when I'm on a call I wanna explain stuff using diagrams. Its too much of a pain to pull up excalidraw and share screen.
So, I'm making this browser plugin for myself.
Draw, Edit, Move, Scale objects on screen while you talk.
One professor at the University of Bonn quietly put his entire robotics curriculum on YouTube: SLAM. Sensor fusion. State estimation. Probabilistic robotics. Self-driving cars. Motion planning. Photogrammetry.
Cyrill Stachniss has been uploading full university lectures for years!
Each topic is a complete playlist; the kind of material that normally costs a semester of tuition.
He's one of the most cited researchers in mobile robotics and mapping. His students go on to build the navigation stacks powering real autonomous systems.
If you're serious about understanding how robots know where they are... this is the place to start.
Free. On YouTube.

This is an excellent high-level overview of important considerations in ML training from CMU. It touches on:
- hardware
- memory
- the ML experimentation process
