I could say handwavy things about regression and SVMs. I'm pretty sure we covered convolutional neural nets but I barely recall that at all.

I'm interested in understanding more about transformers/GPT/LLMs and more 'media-rich' generative AI like DALLE and Midjourney etc. (I assume they're linked, because they seemed to have breakthroughs and blow up at the same time, but I don't understand that at all) - but not 'prompt engineering' or specifics about tuning model parameters etc.

Can anyone recommend any resources for 'writing a CMS' vs. 'how to configure Wordpress and install a plugin', as it were?

(Prefer text, but understand it might be too new for good ones to have established themselves. In that case, something like OCW preferred to 'screamface'.)

Ideally something like Dan Luu's article on branch prediction[^1], but about memory prefetching.

We could meet on zoom or use some other tool and tackle together some interesting issues from GitHub or pick an interesting project and work on it. I'm a full stack dev and that is a sort of project I'm interested in working on.

I'm UK based and would love to meet during the week after 8 PM as I have kids and want to put them to bed.

If you're interested reply with an email or ping me on telegram - username is mac_tele

Want the first meeting to happen next Thursday at 8:30 PM UK time

I'll set up a mailing group where we will agree on the tools to use and pick the first task to work on.
