TILs: Daily AI, NLP & ML Engineering Learnings

Quick learnings and notes on Arabic NLP, machine learning, Python, Rust, and AI engineering. Daily discoveries from building real-world AI systems.

Brief, unpolished notes on Arabic NLP, ML, Python, and AI engineering — capturing daily discoveries before they fade.

I learn best by building and breaking things. These TILs are the raw notes from that process — tokenizer benchmarks, Rust systems programming, Qdrant gotchas, PyLate workflows, and whatever else crosses my desk. They’re not polished tutorials, just honest logs of what worked and what didn’t.

Most entries are born from real problems: comparing AraBERT vs AraModernBert tokenizers, figuring out Porkbun DNS for Vercel deployment, or wiring Brave Leo to a local LM Studio server. If you’re deep in Arabic AI or just love collecting small technical wins, these should feel familiar.
