For quite some time now I’ve been an avid user of Google Map’s saved lists feature. These lists comprise of places I pass by on the street that look interesting, places friends or influencers have recommended, or places I’ve tried and love. I take a lot of pride in my curation and I often get asked by many of my friends for recommendations and places to go.

While originally I thought I would categorize every location into hyperspecific lists that would always act as the shortlist for the given occasion, I ultimately ended up with a few catch all lists that have grown in size. When I open Google Maps this is what I see, its a bundle of saved pins.

The following are my notes on a set of videos by Andrej Karpathy (video 1, video 2) that provide an excellent high level overview on what LLMs are and how they’re trained. It is by no means meant to supplement the content of the videos and recommend giving them a watch yourself.

I came across Steph Ango’s Blog and saw this set of questions. I’ve been in a bit of personal turmoil lately and self-reflection. Figure in a time of existential crisis maybe giving some thought to this year might be better than just going through the year and seeing what happens.

Looking at the timestamp its Feb 22nd and I didn’t hit my Feb 20th goal; it happens.

Two days to go till the Feb 20th deadline…
