Every time Karpathy quits his job, the field takes a leap forward because he makes some fantastic educational resource in his free time.
- skybrian 3y agoExamples? (I'm not that familiar with field.)
- joss82 3y agoNeural Networks: from zero to hero https://karpathy.ai/zero-to-hero.html https://karpathy.ai/zero-to-hero.html
- Imnimo 3y agoThe most recent is this, which I believe was made after he left Tesla: https://github.com/karpathy/nanoGPT https://github.com/karpathy/nanoGPT And it's accompanying video series: https://karpathy.ai/zero-to-hero.html https://karpathy.ai/zero-to-hero.html Another example (although I honestly don't remember if he made this one between jobs) is: https://github.com/karpathy/micrograd https://github.com/karpathy/micrograd
- weinzierl 3y agoAndrej Karpathy is badmephisto, a name you might have heard of if you're into cubing. http://badmephisto.com/ http://badmephisto.com/
- cbracketdash 3y agoThis blew my mind as well!! I never thought one of my favorite programmers would share a similar hobby haha
- namanyayg 3y agoYou just blew my mind, I used to hang around this site a lot ~10 years ago and never would have made the connection
- kanbara 3y agoi saw this comment and literally shouted “holy fucking shit” — i use zz method, but i came across lots of his resources before!!!
- Prcmaker 3y agoWow, that's a connection between the eras of my life I would not have thought existed. Thank you.
- deleted 3y ago[deleted]
- longnguyen 3y agoOh wow this blew my mind
- jasmataz 3y agoI haven't been that surprised by something in a long time. Wow that is crazy. I made a little unfinished 3d Rubik's Cube site for fun a while back and the about section includes a link to his channel and some other older cubing channels. https://rubie-cubie.vercel.app/ https://rubie-cubie.vercel.app/
- realprimoh 3y agoHoly crap!! I never knew that. I watched this guy so much in 5th grade, he helped me get my 3x3 time down to 8 seconds. This is insane
- pushedx 3y agoI learned F2L from him in 2009!
- Copenjin 3y ago10 years ago: https://youtu.be/WhPjlnWbtS8?feature=shared&t=359 https://youtu.be/WhPjlnWbtS8?feature=shared&t=359
- joenot443 3y agoWow - that earnestly gave me goosebumps. I'm a Googler myself and it's humbling seeing him casually describe, 10 years ago, a technology the industry was still in the early stages of developing, which has since taken the world by storm. What a rockstar.
- Jensson 3y agoNeural networks were already big 10 years ago, you have to go back 15 years to see before they started being popular. From wikipedia: > Between 2009 and 2012, ANNs began winning prizes in image recognition contests, approaching human level performance on various tasks, initially in pattern recognition and handwriting recognition. That was when Neural networks became a big thing every tech person knew about, 2014 it was already in full swing and you had neural networks do stuff everywhere, like recognizing faces or classifying images.
- altintx 3y agoNN were already a casual topic in my high school computer science class more than 20 years ago. I've always assumed they were already fairly common by that point. (~2000)
- rmorey 3y agoWHAT!
- wwilim 3y agoMy master's was in Convolutional NNs for language processing. I had zero prior knowledge and my advisor recommended I watch Karpathy's lectures[1] to get up to speed [1] https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkt2uSq6rBVctENoVBg1TpCC7OQi31AlC&si=hzgbsY30apVnYh7n https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkt2uSq6rBVctENoVBg1TpCC7...
- anoopelias 3y agoAnd he was teaching CS231n in Stanford in 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfnWJUyUJYU&list=PLkt2uSq6rBVctENoVBg1TpCC7OQi31AlC&index=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfnWJUyUJYU&list=PLkt2uSq6rB...
- antupis 3y agoyup, I hope we get awsome open source-related content now.
