Andrej Karpathy's "Neural Networks: From Zero to Hero".
https://karpathy.ai/zero-to-hero.html https://karpathy.ai/zero-to-hero.html
Just watch the first lecture and you won't be able to not watch the rest. It starts with making your own autograd engine in 100 lines of python, similar to PyTorch and then builds up to a GPT network. He's one of the best in the field, founder of OpenAI, then Director of AI at Tesla. Nothing like the scam tutorials that just copy-paste random code from the internet.

- aliqot 4y agoAlright, I'll bite. What makes you feel that way, and what do you prefer for the same subject matter instead? I don't know of many people posting this type of content in a raw format to youtube.
- atoav 4y agoLet me help you there. Have you considered writing: "I think this lecture series is overrated, because $SERIES_A and $SERIES_B is much better, because ..." Or you could explain why you dislike the communication style, the pace or anything else that others could also relate to. This way we can just guess, and guessing includes bad options like "dev_0 just had a petty conflict with the lecturer" or "dev_0 tried themselves to teach this and did worse so it is envy". So if you want to provide value, please explain yourself or just don't comment with one word in the future. If you don't want to provide value, consider commenting on youtube instead.
- Kiro 4y agoI think the comment provided value. I was about to start watching it but now I won't and I don't really care why they think that. The fact that someone thinks it's so overrated that they need to comment on it is enough.
- RupertEisenhart 4y agoThis leads to exactly the kinds of asymmetry that trolls take advantage of, basically a form of Brandolini's Law[0]. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandolini's_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandolini's_law
- vichle 4y agoThere will never be 100% consensus on which content is worth watching on any topic, does that mean that you never consider watching anything?
- Kiro 4y agoThat would be great. My ever-expanding backlog gives me anxiety so I'm always looking for an escape hatch. A small comment like that is enough to give me peace and lose the FOMO.
- gwnywg 4y agoHmmm... feeding your body is overrated, will you stop eating now? ;)
- irthomasthomas 4y agoNot a bad idea. I fast regularly and it makes me feel great.
- PartiallyTyped 4y agoI have been trying period long term fasting, and tbh once you get used to it, it's quite pleasant.

- pharmakom 4y agoTurn on showdead to see downvoted comments. Usually they are low effort and low value; you’re not missing much.
- hectorlorenzo 4y agoI did not know that. It is amazing how perception of HN changes drastically once you turn this flag on. It is not as extreme as "turning into a completely different website" but certainly it becomes less interesting. There is a sizeable amount of toxicity.
- dang 4y agoYes. That's one cost of having a large, open, optionally-anonymous internet forum. We can't stop such posts but consigning them to a separate partition seems to work ok.
- sneak 4y agoIf you wish to see such stuff, turn on "showdead" in your profile settings.
- blowski 4y agoAs others said, the root comment was flagged for being a shallow dismissal (all it said was "overrated"). You can see them by enabling "showdead" on your profile, or you can go here. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34592145 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34592145
- henkdehenker 4y agoTotally agree!
- wg0 4y agoThese are basically - mind blowing.
- sirwhinesalot 4y agoLogged in just to upvote this, such an excellent resource!
- lawkwok 4y agoThe "Let's build GPT: from scratch, in code, spelled out." demystifies so much of machine learning and chatbots. It's so cool to see how simple python code can be leveraged into something so amazing.
- BatteryMountain 4y agoI've watched some of his videos in the past, extremely humbling experience. Thank you for sharing this, it deserves a top spot on this thread.
