@TheGregYang We need those anki decks 👀

this berkeley 189 lecture is probably the clearest explainer of the attention mechanism i've come across. provides a very good intuitive understanding. if you already know about CNNs then scroll to about halfway in: youtu.be/mqaFEvi5rWE?si…

a number of people have reached out to me about my math spaced repetition cards my linear algebra (632 cards): "Linear Algebra and Its Applications" by David C. Lay, Steven R. Lay, and Judi J. McDonald: app.mochi.cards/decks/e11c234d… my vector calculus (640 cards): "Vector Calculus" by Susan Colley and Santiago Cañez: app.mochi.cards/decks/e11c234d… my differential equations (in progress: 105 cards so far): "Notes on Diffy Qs: Differential Equations For Engineers" by Jiří Lebl: app.mochi.cards/decks/e11c234d…

Every backend engineer should know how distributed systems work and their basics. If you want to actually master Distributed Systems, stop hoarding tutorials and watch Martin Kleppmann’s free lecture series. It completely changes how you think about building scalable, fault-tolerant backends. Link in the replies. 👇

@cneuralnetwork Bro i graduated and I lost access to my institute mail recently like 3 months ago. Can you do anything for that 😞 I'm still unemployed bruh🫩

launching learn-with-neural.vercel.app computer network up first! completely free for .edu and .ac.in accounts :)

I taught a course on the mathematical nitty-gritty of GenAI, equation by equation (written). This covers all the SoTA algorithms, from VAEs to DDPMs to LLMs and state-space models (SSMs), in detail. The link for the entire playlist is in the next message.

@elliotarledge This time I will even grind deep learning and i would learn to fine-tune models etc and the hard stuff too. Your account always gives me motivation for this. I will go even harder now 🤠

@elliotarledge I'm trying to pull off the craziest grind ever, a week ago I did not even know how to use a terminal but then in just seven days i completed a 30hr webdev cohort. But then again I slacked off for 15 days, now I will start it again and even harder and faster. This time I will--

If concepts didn't need to marinate in my brain for them to be fully understood, I would have learned everything that I know today, technically, about LLMs, deep learning, and CUDA programming in three months, give or take. It's okay if you take a bit longer. Don't be to you hard on yourself.

Absolute great start with the roadmap to understanding GPU Architecture from Cornell. cvw.cac.cornell.edu/gpu-architectu…

Due to unexpected reasons, I had to stop the grind. I will be going even harder now👿 I just hope I did not forget all of the topics I learned before the break

Deep Learning bros and sisters, this is a great intro to computation graphs in Pytorch, and precursor to understanding TorchDynamo. I remember learning neural nets in TensorFlow 1. icymi, TF1 was a dictator library that drilled static computation graphs deeply into your brain for life. Nodes, dependencies, control flows, sessions, placeholders, "feed_dict", etc etc... slide below is from an old (2017) stanford lecture.

this PhD student had 47 interviews and 4 offers before she was hired at OpenAI. she practiced with her “notes on LLMs” and math and they’re a goldmine. super concise and organic and shared to everyone for free. you can use her notes or her topic list to study on your own.

Day 5 of grind @kirat_tw I learnt about mongodb and sql and I created basic todo apps with both of them. I broke the continuity for 3 days but now I am even more focused to complete web dev

@densh_ar @Sekharendu60107 @kirat_tw bro, can you please share what all live classes completed in the webdev section? just a pic of the classes he took until now will suffice. I actually got this from someone by paying him money but he did not upload any latest videos and i dont know the actual order 😭

@Sekharendu60107 @kirat_tw Definately

How is the 100xSchool Combined Bootcamp by @kirat_tw ? need some honest reviews btw🙄 #100xSchool #WebDev #DevOps #AI #CodingBootcamp #FullStack

I also wrote my own CLI that can take a file path as input and count number of words and number of sentences using the commander library. 5 days ago whenever I saw a terminal, I used to panic😭 Loving the journey. Any tips are appreciated 🤠👍 2/2

Day 4 of grind till I get a job @kirat_tw I wrote a calc app with a backend HTTP server using fetch, also axios and express. I also learnt about middlewares. I learnt a prereq video about Js runtimes. I learnt a lot of stuff in 4 days, so I will only do assignments tomorrow 1/2

Day 3 of grind @kirat_tw Today I learned about HTTP and I wrote my first HTTP server using express. Tomorrow I will write my first app, a calculator app that talks to a backend instead of just client side app. I am loving this and can't wait to learn webdev fast 🥵

Day 2 of grind I completed videos about callback, promises and DOM. I learned how to write my own promises and how to call promises using async await syntax. Then I also learned Dom manipulation and created a basic HTML todo app with delete button when a todo is added.

Day 1 of grind I completed Js basics and async Js videos from harkirat course. After almost 3 years I have used my brain for the first time today to learn these 🫩😭 It was so exhausting but the feeling of starting the grind again is so awesome. I hope I'll be consistent

cs336 curiculum looks amazing! might try and complete a lecture a day.
