Definitions, explanations, mental models.
Mengapa Bahasa Terbentuk Bahasa sebagai produk evolusi, kognisi, dan kultur — dari mana asalnya, bagaimana otak memprosesnya, dan apa hubungannya dengan kecerdasan buatan modern. Large Language Model A neural network trained on massive text corpora to generate and understand natural language, forming the foundation of modern AI assistants. AI Agent An LLM-powered system that can perceive its environment, reason about goals, and take actions through tools — going beyond single-prompt generation. Retrieval-Augmented Generation A technique that grounds LLM outputs in external knowledge by retrieving relevant documents at query time, reducing hallucination and extending the model's knowledge. Context Window The maximum amount of text a language model can process in a single inference call, measured in tokens — the fundamental memory limit of an LLM. Transformer The neural network architecture that revolutionized NLP through self-attention, enabling parallel sequence processing and forming the basis of all modern LLMs. Embedding A dense vector representation of data (text, images, audio) in a continuous space where semantic similarity corresponds to geometric proximity. Knowledge Base A structured collection of information organized for retrieval, reasoning, and reuse — the foundation of any system that needs to "know" something. Digital Garden A public, evolving personal knowledge base — somewhere between a blog and a wiki — where ideas are cultivated over time rather than published as finished essays. Saga Genre sastra prosa dari Islandia dan Norwegia abad pertengahan — narasi epik yang menggabungkan sejarah, mite, dan fiksi. Termasuk Íslendingasögur, konungasögur, fornaldarsögur, dan riddarasögur. Sturlung Age (Abad Sturlung) Periode sejarah Islandia 1180–1262, ditandai dengan perang saudara antar kepala suku, aneksasi oleh Norwegia, dan runtuhnya Commonwealth Islandia. Juga dikenal sebagai zaman ketika karya sastra Islandia mencapai puncaknya. Mitologi Norse Sistem kepercayaan pra-Kristen bangsa Norse dan Jermanik utara — mencakup dewa-dewa Æsir dan Vanir (Odin, Thor, Freyja, Loki), kosmologi Yggdrasil dan sembilan dunia, serta Ragnarǫk (kiamat para dewa). Viking Age Periode sejarah Eropa dari ±793 hingga 1066 M, ketika bangsa Norse (Denmark, Norwegia, Swedia) melakukan ekspansi, perdagangan, dan penjarahan ke seluruh Eropa, Atlantik Utara, dan bahkan Amerika Utara.
