Anti-hype LLM reading list

Goals: Add links that are reasonable and good explanations of how stuff works. No hype and no vendor content if possible. Practical first-hand accounts and experience preferred (super rare at this point).

Background

• Survey of LLMS
• Self-attention and transformer networks

Intro

"Reddit's Markdown" is a bit borked: it doesn't seem to support linebreaks in Markdown tables. Below we outline the main 'variants' of Markdown, including what they were (originally) developed for, and then attempt to determine if we can somehow induce linebreaks into a 'Reddit Markdown' table.

(a) Main Markdown Variants

Markdown has evolved into several variants since its inception by John Gruber in 2004. Below is a table summarizing some of the main Markdown variants, their brief history, why they were developed, and their divergent features:
