I’m an AI/ML engineer working for a company that analyzes heavy machinery data for the financial industry. On the side, I develop my own AI/ML projects, and I’m particularly interested in AI safety. Right now, I’m building my own AI coding assistant.

The new Rust backend serving local Sentence Transformers models for my Embeddings Playground is now online. Check it out here: https://embeddings.svana.name/

What's next for the Embeddings playground:

- Get rid of the API key requirement for commercial models (within some limits) to lower the friction
- Redesign the embedding model selector

Text embeddings playground

Explore text embeddings and visualize them in 2D. We support embedding models from OpenAI, Mistral, and Sentence Transformers (SBERT)

The backend mostly serves embeddings by the original SentenceTransformers models. The closest library to that seems to be rust-bert. It works, but some of the models I currently support in the Embeddings playground are missing. I forked the project and was able to add those models. Quite happy about that.

Decided to rewrite the backend of my Embeddings playground ... in Rust. I work in Python all the time at my job, and I'm getting a bit bored with it. So, in my side projects, I want to explore other languages and technologies.

We complain about and make fun of LinkedIn content, but it gets even worse when you realize that many people are not pretending and behave like that in real life.

I am not sure what I am doing differently when using AI for coding.

I am fine with using Chatbots as a Stack Overflow replacement, LLM-powered autocomplete, or to ask questions about a codebase.

Still, I feel extremely uncomfortable using Cursor Agents or similar tools for anything other than simple single-use Python scripts.

Would someone from my network here be willing to invite me to @lobsters?

Pretty please :)

I turned an @arduino board into a custom RGB controller. Here is how: https://svana.name/2026/02/i-built-an-rgb-controller-with-arduino/

After starting to monitor my blog traffic with @Matomo, I discovered that Google Search isn't as dominant as it seems. Many people come to my website from Bing, Kagi, or DuckDuckGo.

These days, owning a laptop with 32GB of RAM and 1TB SSD makes me feel rich.

My first real hardware project. I've built my own RGB controller using @arduino. The color changes depending on hardware utilization (blue = RAM, green = CPU, red = GPU).

I'll publish a blog post with details soon.

In the meantime, here is what happens when I chat with Ollama.
