Hey HN community,

I’m excited to announce a free study group that I’m organising at Block’s offices in the Mission District, SF. Over 4 weeks, we’ll dive into Andrej Karpathy’s Neural Networks and GPT Course, meeting every Wednesday night from 6 to 8pm.

Whether you’re a beginner or have some experience with neural networks, this is a great opportunity to learn and collaborate with others. Our sessions will include a mix of guided instruction, hands-on coding, and group discussions.

Here are the details: - *Location:* Block’s offices, Mission District, SF - *Duration:* 4 weeks, starting on the 24th of July - *Schedule:* Every Wednesday night, 6-8 pm - *Cost:* Free!

If you’re interested, please sign up [https://lu.ma/yzzespyu] or reach out if you have any questions. Looking forward to learning together!

Best, Paul
