Focus:
Tue, Nov 10
- Read about tokenization (Build a Large Language Model from Scratch, ch. 2)
- Read about transactions (Designing Data-Intensive Applications, ch. 8)
- Haven’t applied to any full-time roles today
- Reading What Is Intelligence?
- Watched CS336 #2, CS336 #3 and CME295 #3
I goofed around with Robert Greene’s new book, The Law of the Sublime, and partly watched Atomic Blonde. I’m wondering whether I’ll have time to watch Ikiru sometime this week. I skipped poker today. I really want to get good at poker, but given my commitments to read, watch and do a thousand things, I don’t think I can push for it now. Maybe (big maybe) once I have a full-time job, I can spend some time on it.
Back in August I decided to make 100 videos. I’ve made about six, and I want to build a series on LLMs, agents and algorithms and reach 100. There are 50 days until the new year, so if I make two videos a day, I’ll hit the goal by then. The next two videos will be on tokenization and two-pointer LeetCode questions (reference). The goal is one deep, focused four-hour block each day, to skill up.
I told Chris I’d pay $10 if I miss three lifts in a week.
