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.

Ensembl's VEP (Variant Effect Predictor) is popular for how it picks a single effect per gene as detailed here, its CLIA-compliant HGVS variant format, and Sequence Ontology nomenclature for variant effects.

Instead of the official instructions, we will use conda to install VEP and its dependencies. If you don't already have conda, install it into $HOME/miniconda3 as follows:

curl -sL https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-py37_4.9.2-Linux-x86_64.sh -o /tmp/miniconda.sh
sh /tmp/miniconda.sh -bfp $HOME/miniconda3

Add the conda bin folder into your $PATH so that all installed tools are accessible via command-line. You can also add this to your ~/.bashrc

Pimping Up Your PowerShell & Cmder with Posh-Git, Oh-My-Posh, & Powerline Fonts

Backstory (TLDR)

I work as a full-stack developer at work. We are a Windows & Azure shop, so we are using Windows as our development platform, hence this customization.

For my console needs, I am using Cmder which is based on ConEmu with PowerShell as my shell of choice.

Yes, yes, I know nowadays you can use the Linux subsystem on Windows 10 which allow you to run Ubuntu on Windows. If you are looking for customization of the Ubuntu bash shell, check out this article by Scott Hanselman.

Twitter's API doesn't allow you to get replies to a particular tweet. Strange
but true. But you can use Twitter's Search API to search for tweets that are
directed at a particular user, and then search through the results to see if 
any are replies to a given tweet. You probably are also interested in the
replies to any replies as well, so the process is recursive. The big caveat 
here is that the search API only returns results for the last 7 days. So
