Created a GitHub repository to code my "Hello World" toy LLM for trial purposes. I’ve also implemented the tokenizer and transformer layer with word embeddings, positional embeddings, QKV, and the softmax function. The output is a square matrix of contextualized weights.

tokenizer.py file's code.

Installed GitLab CE on my Ubuntu LTS virtual machine using the official repository. Set up port forwarding to make it accessible from the host. Verified that PostgreSQL databases can be accessed from the terminal and that queries can also be viewed through the web interface.

PostgreSQL access via terminal and web interface.

GitLab CE web UI sign-in on Ubuntu LTS host.

Set up port forwarding on the Ubuntu VM for host access.

Started reading NVIDIA’s CUDA C++ Programming Guide, Release 13.0 (September 2025) on 22-Sep-2025. It offers clear, step-by-step guidance for beginners in GPU and parallel computing, covering architecture, syntax, and CUDA programming.

Cover page of NVIDIA’s CUDA C++ Programming Guide, Release 13.0. The top section has a black banner with a glowing green-blue geometric prism logo on the left and the word “CUDA®” in bold white text on the right. Below the banner, the title “CUDA C++ Programming Guide” appears in bold black letters, followed by “Release 13.0” in italics. The bottom right corner shows “NVIDIA Corporation” and the date “Sep 02, 2025.”

> Reading Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach (Fifth Edition) by David A. Patterson and John L. Hennessy recently (21-Aug-25).
> Experimenting with Logisim (for understanding logic gates). Right: full adder.
> Started Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) conceptually.

Book cover of Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach by John L. Hennessy and David A. Patterson. The design shows tall classical columns of a building photographed from below against a blue sky with clouds. Title text is bold in black and white at the top, with author names above it. A vertical blue label on the right indicates

Full adder circuit in Logisim with inputs A, B, and Cin. XOR gates generate the Sum output, while AND gates feed into an OR gate to produce the Cout output.

Prashant explaining chained 2-bit full adders on a chalkboard while Sushant is seated, showing how AD1 → AD2 → AD3 ripple the carry to yield the 3-bit output 110.

Research about alloy and material selection has already started (a week has passed), dimensions are being determined for every part rather than buying and fitting randoms directly.

Reading:

1. Superalloys: A Technical Guide (Second Edition) by Matthew J. Donachie; Stephen J. Donachie (17-Jun-25)
2. The Jet Engine by Rolls Royce: (24-Apr-25: earlier this year)

> The Jet Engine is just the best book for understanding every component of GTE module-wise.

Front cover of Superalloys: A Technical Guide (Second Edition) by Matthew J. Donachie and Stephen J. Donachie. The design features a bold, solid background—commonly red or white—paired with technical-style imagery such as metallurgical furnace schematics and microstructural diagrams, reflecting its focus on alloy selection, processing, microstructure analysis, melting technology, heat treatment, corrosion, and mechanical properties, structured chapter by chapter for a module‑style breakdown.

Cover of The Jet Engine (Rolls‑Royce) featuring a clean image of a jet engine nacelle against a sky backdrop. This edition mirrors the book’s organization, which is structured around distinct engine modules—compressors, combustion chambers, turbines, exhaust, accessory drives, fuel and air systems, instrumentation, and more—with each chapter dedicated to one component for a module-by-module breakdown.

Built my first NPN transistor circuit on a breadboard—used it to control an LED with a separate base voltage.

Understood list comprehensions in Python — they use nested loops and optional conditions to build lists in a single expression. Each combination is processed in order, and a new list is created for every valid case.

This was my 1st interschool chess tournament (not rated), held on 10-Nov-24 (previous year) by M.K. Chess Academy, securing a 6th rank in the senior boys' section. Learnt time management and playing chess under pressure.
