Notes on running Go in the browser with WebAssembly

Machine learning models are rapidly becoming more capable; how can we make use of these powerful new tools in our Go applications? For top-of-the-line commercial LLMs like ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude, the models are exposed as language agnostic REST APIs. We can hand-craft HTTP requests or use client libraries (SDKs …

Go 1.23 shipped with a new major feature: ranging over functions (also known as "iterators"), per this proposal. This feature is nicely covered in the official Go blog post from August. This article is a rewrite of my older post that described this feature when it was still in …

When learning the basics of quantum computing, the Bloch sphere comes early on as a visualization technique of quantum states. It shows the state of a single qubit as a point on this sphere: This post explains how the Bloch sphere works and also why it works. Mapping 4 dimensions …

In this quick post I'll dispel a common confusion in the basic math of complex numbers. It's often useful to calculate the norm-square (also known as absolute square) of a complex number z. This norm-square is denoted |z|^2. One could naively expect that: \[|z|^2=zz\] However, that's false …

This is Part 4 in a series of posts describing the Raft distributed consensus algorithm and its complete implementation in Go. Here is a list of posts in the series: Part 0: Introduction Part 1: Elections Part 2: Commands and log replication Part 3: Persistence and optimizations Part 4: Key …
