Hello traveler, I am

Manu.

Inside the blue dot
Thankful for existing.

My journey with technology had its first stop in 2005, when I was 7, my parents gifted me a Playstation 2, I first played Ratchet & Clank. 21 years later my profession allows me to go along every breakthrough. Please enjoy your stay, intersections are truly mysterious.

"The only home we have known,
our home in the vast emptiness of space."

Principles I hold close

Coherence

If you can't extinguish a fire, don't become someone that feeds it; human =/= anthropomorphic

Honest simplicity

If I can't explain it plainly, I probably don't understand it yet. Complexity is often a disguise for confusion.

Empathy as infrastructure

The best of humanity comes from sincere understanding, my happiness is yours. Sic Parvis Magna.

Echoes of Hope

Thoughts I keep returning to. Fragments I mustn't let go.

On building things that outlast you

I feel satisfied when creating something that still runs correctly three years after you've forgotten how you did it. Not because you were clever, but because you were clear. Clarity, it turns out, is the closest thing to permanence we can achieve as of now.

The same might be true for every act of making: the music that lasts isn't always the most complex, and the buildings that endure aren't always the tallest or the fanciest. It's the ones honest enough to admit what their limitations are. Love set us free, the more love there is in our heart, the more we can create that outlasts.

Rage is a good fuel, but only sometimes

Having a rush of blood to your soul when something that shouldn't happen occurs, that trigger, is a must, it is also to learn how to manage such.

Decision Branching

The decision, unforeseeable unfoldings it is going to bring, however, the time has come. Be the best, next day be even better, do it for her.

When the far away future has become present

I continue being the kid in the photo, probably one of my most honored principles. The only hard to manage part of growing is to perceive things around you as they truly are. My biggest wish is that we could all be the kid in the photo, together.

What I am doing

Where I have put my time and what I'm currently building.

Current focus

What the so called AI brings to the table for real

Learning through Anthropic's papers, exercises and docs. About the directions of implementation and social implications. Understanding the architectures that brought us here and what is being done now on the field of mathematics and deep learning, reasoning.
