Pinned
spent way too long making my book review page
ended up building a 3d interactive bookshelf

- my learning philosophy: 1. you can learn anything 2. you can do it way faster than you think 3. so choose an insanely aggressive goal 4. shorten your timeline by 10-100x what you expect 5. pre-requisites are a myth. try to do the thing first, figure out what you don't know yet,
- I've spent the past ~2 weeks building a GPU from scratch with no prior experience. It was way harder than I expected. Progress tracker in thread (coolest stuff at the end)👇
- I've spent the past ~2 weeks trying to make a chip from scratch with no prior experience. It's been an incredible source of learning so far. Progress tracker in thread (coolest stuff at the end)👇
- I've spent the past ~3 weeks going through the entire history of deep learning and reimplementing all the core breakthroughs. It has completely changed my beliefs about deep learning progress and where we're headed. Progress tracker in thread (all resources at the end) 👇
- > be Vinod Khosla > spawn in India, parents want you to join the army > fall in love with entrepreneurship instead after reading about Andy Grove immigrating to the US and starting Intel > start the first ever programming club at IIT (early signs of crackedness developing) > get
- After spending the past ~1 year building conviction in what I want to do next, I've joined the research team @OpenAI! I've been here for 2 weeks, and am so energized / convinced there’s no better place to be in the world right now. I’m working as a resident under @BorisMPower
- I've spent the past ~6 weeks going through the entire history of robotics and understanding all the core research breakthroughs. It has completely changed my beliefs about the future of humanoid robotics. My process + biggest takeaways in thread (full resource at the end) 👇
- deleted earlier but reposting by popular demand here’s what he’s actually saying: > the “non-governmental entity” is just bedrock itself (his fund) and its LPs > he’s reflecting on ruining companies by subtly pressuring founders to give up their own vision and do what the fundIt’s time.
00:00 - I’ve spent the past ~4 weeks understanding how the energy industry will define our future. I synthesized everything I learned into a single resource. My biggest takeaways in thread + complete resource at the end👇
- I was challenged to make a chip from scratch in <2 weeks with no prior experience Here’s how I’m planning to speed run the entire learning process for chip design & fabrication (suggestions welcome) 1. Prerequisites > Review circuits physics - (semiconductors, p-n, junctions,
- it’s crazy how well the concept of embeddings in deep learning translates directly to human communication and how clear it makes everything every idea, feeling, concept in your head can be framed as a physical embedding in your brain represented by some set of neural activations
