What percent of LLM knowledge requires proficiency in anything you mentioned?
From what I’ve seen it’s a small percentage, and there’s no reason for most people to be put off by it.
Everyone come on in the water is fine.
- godelski 3y agoBetween 0% and idk 70%? depending on what you're doing.
- WhitneyLand 3y agoLooking at the theory as a whole it’s a very small minority. I’m trying to think if it’s 0 percent outside of backprop… Arguably high school math gets you quite a bit of understanding. After that in descending order I’d guess Linear Algebra, Statistics/Probability, Basic Calculus, Partial Derivatives… In other words it’s not all or nothing. The easiest stuff gets you a lot of bang for your buck.
