Andreij Karpathy has a nice zero to hero lecture series that you can follow along and it will end with building your own simple GPT. First lecture is building your own MLP (multi-layer perceptron). At the end of that you have down backtracing and will finally understand what it means to train a model.

And LangChain is your friend if you want to use GPT as a component in a processing pipeline (as in integrating with Wolfram's alpha, etc.)

Google creeps me out. [Thanks for heads-up, btw; missed that one.]

alpha0  ·  4113 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What does being in love feel like to you?

    Sometimes love 
    is really just a (g)love
    comfort for the cold

   ( This is like saying
    that ain't amour,
    it's just (g)lamour.)

    Sometimes you wear it
    Sometimes it fits
    Sometimes it doesn't

    All garments 
    get old
    tattered

    But when it is just that: L-O-V-E
    (With no hidden letter
    Preceding the matter)

    Then it is like butter
    Melting
    In the frying pan

    Or the sharp pain
    of a babe
    biting on tender nipples

    Yes, it is like Milk
    Warm
    And Nourishing

    Or the hot unshed Pulsing Blood
    of a dear Son
    held down in Sacrifice

    The Sultan of the Hearts
    Mixes a specific potent mix
    For each specific Lover

    Love is sweet and bitter wine
    poison
    potion
    
    Part Pain
    Part Pleasure
    Always to treasure.

"philosopher Ayn Rand"

Permit me to puke. I can not believe that this author of bodice-rippers for the pseudo-intellectual set is actually taken seriously as a "philosopher".

If the topic list is not constrained then ghettoization will continue unabated. If you think about it, an open ended tagset is hardly any more helpful than an ever increasing list of people one follows.

It is also like documenting code: there is too much left to the discretion of the poster.

Finally, tag centric viewing is a channel for 'spam'.

For tags to be effective in addressing the problem at hand, Hubski community must very carefully vet and approve the tagset. And the tag selected from the list (perhaps via autocomplete to make it not tedious).

It's a tough problem. I don't believe Hubski has solved the community communication and info overload problem. It is a difficult problem.

This is is NO WAY to distract from the incredible work that has gone into this great little community and platform.

([edit] mk: note that the stackoverflow has partially solved this problem by crowd sourcing the editorial system.)
