Siddarth Dagar (@EclipseIsDead)

I'm a 4th year Computer Science Specialist + Math Major @ the University of Toronto. Reach me by filling in the blank @ sidmcheath_gmail.com. I build stuff in C/C++, Assembly, CUDA, Python, TS and Rust. Currently learning Zig and how to use WebAssembly. The "stuff" in question is a mix of NLP, Computer Vision, and math. In that same vein, I'm interested in compression, kernel programming, and... math. In my spare time, I contribute to open source projects, bug hunt and write retro games in MIPS Assembly.

Currently working on implementing an interpretation of this arxiv paper on fiber bundle networks based on a local trivialization wherein a space can be locally decomposed into a product space that cleanly encodes modern generative architectures.

Cool Stuff I've Done

• Check out this 3D ResNet implementation from my first year, using this paper
• Here's a spinning ascii tetrahedron, inspired by the infamous donut.c (ignore my poor obfuscation attempt please)
• A brief attempt and analysis of the neuralink compression challenge
• A zpaq 1.10 encoder/decoder architecture for compression written in MIPS assembly over here
• A quick little W.I.P. fluid simulator, written entirely in C++ with GLSL style shaders
• The classic arcade game asteroids, currently being implemented in MIPS assembly using the MARS IDE, here

Cooler Stuff I've Done

• Currently writing an open source D&D 5e dungeon planner with my group under this repository, with OpenGL.
• Wrote software for charities and nonprofits: a veteran's org and Toronto Community Employment Services
• Talked to Stephen Wolfram about the future of quantum computing (he did not have a high opinion of it)
• Worked through Rordam's text on C*-algebras and K-Theory
• Writing a simulation of C. elegans in Python, using PyTorch and RL here
