A quite complete and not so much focus on meta Geoguessor's guide can be found here if someone interested: https://somerandomstuff1.wordpress.com/2019/02/08/geoguessr-.... This single document is fantastic!
IMO, this is the best course to start with. It has everything you need from theory to pratical code. Very high quality stuff.

Re:Show HN: HackYourNews – AI summaries of the top HN stories on Thursday September 07, 2023 @10:04PM (#37428372)
This will be very useful! I missed a lot of interesting stories in HN just because the title seems unrelated to me.
Re:LeMUR: LLMs for Audio and Speech on Thursday July 27, 2023 @10:38PM (#36902606)
Their ASR model is Conformer trained on 1.1M hours, so the result should be better than Whisper. From their pricing page, with ~ length of a meeting, input size 15000 tokens (60 minutes audio file), output size 2000 tokens (1500 words), LeMUR default, the price estimate is $0.353, which is I think a fairly good price. This tool can save a lot of time for a secretary, even replace them. But I think sending your meeting data is still quite risky.
Re:Learning needs to be effortful to be effective on Tuesday July 04, 2023 @02:31AM (#36582966)
Learning needs effort, and that's pretty clear, but not many folks truly understand this. Particularly when it comes to reading, some individuals only focus on the quantity of books they consume rather than the insights they can gain from them. Personally, I prefer using my Kindle to read, where I highlight noteworthy points and then transcribe those highlights into Notion. I'm not sure if writting down the highlights is better than speaking them out, but I find it to be quite effective.

The concept of a "learning box" sounds interesting, and it would be great if there were an extension for it.

No, RLHF only helps the model to align to human preference

That's right. As time go by, I care more about functionality. I didn't wasting time on gnome-look when I install a fresh Ubuntu like before.
