Anthropic pays $750,000+ a year for engineers who know how to build LLMs from scratch.
Stanford just released the exact lecture that teaches it - 1 hour 44 minutes, free, straight from CS229.
Bookmark and watch it this weekend.
It'll teach you more about how ChatGPT & Claude actually work than most people at top AI companies learn in their entire careers.
Instead of watching an hour of Netflix, watch this 60 minute lecture from Steve Jobs after being fired from Apple. It will teach you more about building companies than most startup books ever will.

The Destruction of Black Civilization took Chancellor Williams 16 years of research and field study to compile. The book, which was to serve as a reinterpretation of the history of the African race, was intended to be "a general rebellion against the subtle message from even the most liberal white authors and their Negro disciples: 'You belong to a race of nobodies. You have no worthwhile history to point to with pride.'"
.
The book was written at a time when many Black students, educators, and scholars were starting to piece together the connection between the way their history was taught and the way they were perceived by others and by themselves. They began to question assumptions made about their history and took it upon themselves to create a new body of historical research.
.
This book is premised on the question: If the Blacks were among the very first builders of civilization and their land the birthplace of civilization, what has happened to them that has left them, since then, at the bottom of world society? Precisely, what happened?
.
The Caucasian answer is simple and well known: The Blacks have always been at the bottom." Williams, instead, contends that many elements - nature, imperialism, and stolen legacies - have aided in the destruction of the Black civilization.
.
The Destruction of Black Civilization is revelatory and revolutionary because it offers a new approach to the research, teaching, and study of African history by shifting the main focus from the history of Arabs and Europeans in Africa to the Africans themselves. The book, thus, offers "a history of blacks that is a history of blacks".
.
"Because, only from history can we learn what our strengths were and, especially, in what particular aspect we are weak and vulnerable. Our history can then become at once the foundation and guiding light for united efforts in serious planning what we should be about now."

One of the @HoodHealer quotes I constantly have to ask y’all...
Stop begging bring something else to the table than your pretty looks & entitlement issues

“Nostalgia has crept in, a nostalgia for what hasn’t fully been had. Nostalgia for the tip and tipping of an iceberg, for the tip and flip, for the engulfment. The engulfment that has only scratched the surface of the non flipped tip of an iceberg”
