About
I’m Ashish Gaurav. This site is where I think in public, one short article a week.
I work on TODO: your field / role, and I spend most of my time somewhere in the overlap between TODO and TODO. Before that, TODO: a line of history — study, previous work, whatever you want people to know.
What’s here
Short essays, published weekly, in three rough directions. The boundaries are porous — the interesting questions usually sit between them.
- Physics — Mechanics, fields, and the occasional thermodynamic grumble.
- Machine Learning — Learning systems, optimisation, and what the loss curve is hiding.
- Economics — Incentives, equilibria, and why markets do the strange things they do.
Why weekly
A week is long enough to have something worth saying and short enough that I can’t polish a draft into silence. The constraint is the point: I would rather publish fifty imperfect pieces a year than one perfect one every three.
Nothing here is authoritative. It’s a notebook that happens to be public, and I’d rather be corrected than be quietly wrong — so if something looks off, please tell me.
