Fun experience, but the forced rotation after a certain number of cuts diminishes it.
There seems to be an issue with the messages sidebar snapping back to the top whenever a thread is selected. Pretty tedious to scroll down each time.

So did you read through Strang and then read Axler, or did you try to work through both of them at the same time?

As an ML researcher myself, I'm glad to see other researchers maintaining a level-headed approach amidst the noise.

From looking at the video probably someone who has good working knowledge of PyTorch, familiarity with NLP fundamentals and transformers, and somewhat of a working understanding of how GPT works.

In my experience, you have to wade through too many unnecessary posts to find anything useful on 4chan.

Are you kidding me?

At the very least v4 has a paper attached to it. The authors of v5 have claimed that they'll release a paper at some point, but it has never materialized. It doesn't seem like v6 even makes that promise.

Holy cow, that's incredible

I remember hearing about his MIT Challenge. This answer on Quora from an MIT student highlights some of the issues with that challenge https://www.quora.com/How-do-MIT-students-and-professors-fee...

In the book does he reflect on any of this, or is it based on the MIT challenge at all?
