If LLMs Are Just Matrix Multiplications, How Come They Feel So Smart
A no-smoke-and-mirrors guide to large language models. Learn how simple ideas in linear algebra — like co-occurrence counts and matrix multiplications — scale up to make LLMs track meaning and respond with human-like clarity. -
Yes, Quantum Computing Makes No Sense, But You Can Master It
A primer for the insanely curious. High school knowledge is all that is required to understand even deeply complex quantum topics. Imagine the kinds of wild applications that would be built if the next generation of computer programmers never knew anything but quantum computing.
