i wanted a clean experience for reading books with LLMs, and apple books fell short so i built what i wanted upload EPUB & start reading. free to use
Andrej Karpathy@karpathy

I put up a simple repo I call reader3 (it's my 3rd version...) to illustrate how I read EPUBs with LLMs. Basically get some epub (e.g. Project Gutenberg is great), go chapter by chapter, and with this you can easily copy paste text to your favorite LLM. github.com/karpathy/reade…

seeing 2.3m views on this & realizing the simple extension i made last year could've been useful in a tiny way, but to many all it does is fire off a message to chatgpt/claude asking for a detailed handoff, with a single button click lesson to self to just ship everything

i get the idea, but i don't think poisoning the commons to promote your product is worth it the videos i've seen for ecogpt - potray openai and other cos as evil - say using chatgpt is "not caring about the planet" - monger fear about clean water running out in a couple years i understand you're trying to maximize virality, but this will only worsen the already negative public perception about ai

watching @dwarkesh_sp persistently push and not take the initial answers jensen provides is delightful to watch on the china topic - sure, jensen & nvidia have the motive to sell chips to china but they both also have fundamentally opposite worldviews dwarkesh considers short timelines and x-risk a possibility. otoh jensen believes they're wildly implausible. so it was unlikely they were going to find any consensus there.

The Jensen Huang episode. 0:00:00 – Is Nvidia’s biggest moat its grip on scarce supply chains? 0:16:25 – Will TPUs break Nvidia’s hold on AI compute? 0:41:06 – Why doesn’t Nvidia become a hyperscaler? 0:57:36 – Should we be selling AI chips to China? 1:35:06 – Why doesn’t Nvidia make multiple different chip architectures? Look up Dwarkesh Podcast on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, etc. Enjoy!

Someone just dm'd me: "i've been trying to find the page where you curated many great articles to read. i spent quite some time on google and my history but no luck." The answer is Read Something Wonderful! readsomethingwonderful.com tbh I hadn't thought about it in some time. Fun flipping through it again.

It was never about “coding”, it was about solving the unsolved. Understanding how things work. Making it indistinguishable from magic.

Alright it’s happening.. We’re hosting a “Claude Code for Normies” event this Friday with our friends at @AnthropicAI in SF. Luma link for attendees out soon BUT it’ll be a demo night so I’m looking for non-technical folks who can share what they built. Sign up to demo or DM.

@callumflack Right now the chats are ephemeral, but it should be pretty easy to store them to a local folder (with the existing desktop app)

@clairevo @lennysan Thanks @clairevo! Found my project (Lenny MCP) is already there - so I just opened a PR to point it to the github repo instead of the server
