Vectors are multi dimensional numbers https://zoricl.io/blog-vectors-are-multi-dimensional-numbers https://zoricl.io/blog-vectors-are-multi-dimensional-numbers Sat, 02 May 2026 00:00:00 +1000 Building geometric intuition for vectors as multi dimensional numbers, walking through what they are, how to add them, and what scaling does. Intuitively understanding derivatives https://zoricl.io/blog-intuitively-understanding-derivatives https://zoricl.io/blog-intuitively-understanding-derivatives Tue, 28 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +1000 Working through what a derivative actually tells us - using a small numeric step, then taking the limit - to build the intuition that it measures how sensitive the output is to a tiny change in the input. What are neural networks and how do they work https://zoricl.io/blog-what-are-neural-networks https://zoricl.io/blog-what-are-neural-networks Tue, 28 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +1000 A neural network is a giant mathematical expression with adjustable parameters. This post walks through inputs, outputs, loss, derivatives, and gradient descent - how the thing actually learns. Intent as foundation https://zoricl.io/blog-intent-as-foundation https://zoricl.io/blog-intent-as-foundation Thu, 15 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +1000 A compact note: if consciousness is fundamental, intent is the foundation of work - build software that turns unique insights into products. Everything is just an interpretation https://zoricl.io/blog-everything-is-just-an-interpretation https://zoricl.io/blog-everything-is-just-an-interpretation Fri, 19 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +1000 My interpretation of Book 1, Chapter 1 of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, on naming, desire, and holding the nameless source and the named world together. Building products with LLMs https://zoricl.io/blog-building-products-with-llms https://zoricl.io/blog-building-products-with-llms Mon, 10 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +1000 Why LLMs are at the limit of their current trajectory, why execution is becoming commoditised, and why your unique insight is the only remaining moat.
