Musician, studio engineer and the mastermind behind some of rock's greatest albums. A hero to us all. Thank you for setting the standard so high.

RIP Steve Albini. Deeply missed, forever loved.

Have you ever wanted to train LLMs in pure C without 245MB of PyTorch and 107MB of cPython? No? Well now you can! With llm.c:
https://t.co/PoGTZIwASL

To start, implements GPT-2 training on CPU/fp32 in only ~1,000 lines of clean code. It compiles and runs instantly, and exactly matches the PyTorch reference implementation.

I chose GPT-2 to start because it is the grand-daddy of LLMs, the first time the LLM stack was put together in a recognizably modern form, and with model weights available.

Cheers to our first year! 🥂

Let’s celebrate one year of Webb science by taking a brand-new look at Sun-like stars being born, in this detailed close-up of Rho Ophiuchi, the closest-star-forming region to Earth. https://t.co/jXJgjb4mFj

@PR0GRAMMERHUM0R I learned it in an online tutorial

@davefarley77 It was a last-minute fix

#ReturnToMonkeyIsland never trends on Twitter because people don't use #ReturnToMonkeyIsland when they talk about #ReturnToMonkeyIsland.

@PR0GRAMMERHUM0R You missed the last one:

☠️ The person who wrote most of our code doesn't work with us anymore

[John Carmack @ID_AA_Carmack]

I had suggested to Lex that he edit it down to a more manageable size, but we didn’t even cover half the things we wanted to talk about. It might make sense to factor me into independent gaming/rockets/VR/AI phases, but everything winds up overlapping.

🌟 A star is born!

Behind the curtain of dust and gas in these “Cosmic Cliffs” are previously hidden baby stars, now uncovered by Webb. We know — this is a show-stopper. Just take a second to admire the Carina Nebula in all its glory: https://t.co/tlougFWg8B #UnfoldTheUniverse

[NASA Webb Telescope @NASAWebb]

👀 Sneak a peek at the deepest & sharpest infrared image of the early universe ever taken — all in a day’s work for the Webb telescope. (Literally, capturing it took less than a day!) This is Webb’s first image released as we begin to #UnfoldTheUniverse: https://t.co/tlougFWg8B
