Microgpt

http://karpathy.github.io/assets/microgpt.jpg
The user created a simplified 200-line Python script called microgpt that trains and infers a GPT model from scratch, showcasing the core algorithmic essence of large language models. The script demonstrates how the model learns statistical patterns from a dataset and generates new plausible-sounding documents, such as names, by predicting the next token in a sequence.

Werner Herzog Between Fact and Fiction

https://www.thenation.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/GettyImages-1766659145.jpeg
Werner Herzog's book The Future of Truth is a disappointing collection of repurposed passages and anecdotes that fail to provide insight into his concept of ecstatic truth. The book's failure to achieve its goal suggests that Herzog may not want to understand what he means by "ecstatic truth" in order to preserve the need to quest after it.

Samsung Galaxy update removes Android recovery menu tools, including sideloading

Deterministic Programming with LLMs

The author discusses how large language models (LLMs) can be used in a deterministic way by leveraging their ability to create tools that enforce policies and consistency in code, such as linters and tests. By using LLMs to create these tools and incorporating them into the build process, developers can ensure that policies are followed consistently and reliably, even when LLMs themselves are ...

Cracking the Python Monorepo

A monorepo is a single repository that contains multiple projects. It is a popular way to organize codebases with many coupled components, and is also used at very big companies like Google, Facebook, and Twitter. For a long time, I did not understand the benefits of monorepos. I thought they were used because people could not figure out how to split their codebases into smaller parts. After ...
