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 of models in prod eagerly sought.

Foundational Concepts

Pre-Transformer Models

This is a simplistic setup trying to emulate at least part of i3 behaviour on MacOS using yabai. Key-bindings are partially replicated due to the presence of MacOS built-in bindings

Start with installing (and understanding) following tools

yabai - https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai
skhd - https://github.com/koekeishiya/skhd
stackline - https://github.com/AdamWagner/stackline

Profiling performance

Using perf:

$ perf record -g binary
$ perf script | stackcollapse-perf.pl | rust-unmangle | flamegraph.pl > flame.svg

NOTE: See @GabrielMajeri's comments below about the -g option.

Conventions

A = [xA, yA] is a point on the 2D plane. Same for B, C, ...
lengths are in any unit (ex: pixels)
code snippets are in JavaScript

Degrees to radians

angleRad = angleDeg * Math.PI / 180;

This is a plain-text version of Bret Victor’s reading list. It was requested by hf on Hacker News.

Highly recommended things!

This is my five-star list. These are my favorite things in all the world.

A few of these works have had an extraordinary effect on my life or way of thinking. They get a sixth star. ★

	// Players
	class ClickCounter {
	constructor() { this.clicks = 0; }
	onclick(e) { this.clicks += (e.type === 'click') ? 1 : -1; }
	}

	class Handler extends ClickCounter {
	constructor(currentTarget) {
	super();
	currentTarget.addEventListener('click', this);

	STUDENT: Sir, can I ask a question?
	TEACHER: Yes!
	STUDENT: How do you put an elephant inside a fridge?
	TEACHER: I don't know.
	STUDENT: It's easy, you just open the fridge and put it in. I have another question!
	TEACHER: Ok, ask.
	STUDENT: How to put a donkey inside the fridge?
