*I* built kernelspace - a free and interactive course that takes a backend engineer (like me) with java/python experience to the systems level required to work on LLM serving at scale. (Mostly an attempt for me to understand what everyone's talking about lately and also an attempt at staying up to date to current tech - career wise).

It has: 1. 68 Lessons across 9 tracks, with a rust-from-zero ramp. 2. 8 rust labs - BPE tokenizer, KV block manager, radix cache, batching scheduler, a toy executor 3. 9 simulators running in browser (wasm) - roofline model, KV cache pressure, continuous batching dynamics 4. Fleet week - a simulated prod serving fleet

All progresss is local - there is no server (it's served from github pages, repo here https://github.com/praveer13/kernelspace)

Feedback appreciated, and contributions welcome. I want to make this a really good course for me (and everyone else like me).

* (OK, I had sol and kimi on it for most part)

I’ve been making interactive learning resources for myself - with wasm and browser simulation based labs (browser only interactive courses served from GitHub pages) to teach me topics from beginner to advanced

I am personally using kimi k3 to create a mobile friendly set of games, starting from math like linear algebra to quantum physics - neurodivergent friendly, completely local state, served from github pages - to get someone interested in the field. This needs an economic incentive to exist without LLMs, because of so much different expertise needed, and time.

if anyone's interested in the games let me know - i plan to play it myself, improve it, remove bugs etc before publishing on HN.

Well, I'm mindblown. Very humbling for me as a software engineer. Took couple hours for it to build this completely autonomously. And it was all from its mobile app.

It couldn't render this though from within the app - it does have a feature to preview any website and publish it on kimi's domain - but it didn't work for this. I had to put it on github pages.

It doesn't store anything btw - all progress is tracked in your browser storage.

> Zig 0.16.0 is tagged. Release notes are just about completed and will be published in about 20 hours when the tarballs finish building. As it turns out, it takes a while to build LLVM 27 times on one computer! That's how many different targets we provide compiler binaries for now - all cross compiled from one host.
