This is the first post on the blog. The goal here is a quiet, academic space for notes, reading reflections, and longer-form writing that doesn’t fit on the homepage.

Typography

Body text uses a serif face for readability. Inline code is rendered with a monospace font, and links carry a subtle underline.

Quotations sit slightly indented with a thin left rule — clear but not loud.

Code

def fib(n: int) -> int:
    a, b = 0, 1
    for _ in range(n):
        a, b = b, a + b
    return a

Math

Inline math: the Euler identity is $e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0$.

Block math:

\[\mathcal{L}(\theta) = -\mathbb{E}_{x \sim p_{\text{data}}} \big[ \log p_\theta(x) \big]\]

Footnotes

A footnote reference1 looks like this.
