Representation models mainly focus on representing language, for instance, by creating embeddings, and typically do not generate text. In contrast, generative models focus primarily on generating text and typically are not trained to generate embeddings.

Encoder-only models are representation models.
Decoder-only models are generative models.

Rationality is the quality of basing thoughts, actions, and beliefs on reason and logic rather than emotion or instinct.

[Khaled @hidden_profiles]

I have to find a way to master my emotions. Emotions turn us inward, away from mind, away from reality.

[Khaled @hidden_profiles]

The human mind has to worship something, has to have its attention directed to something it values above all else. For most people, it is their ego; for some it is their family, their clan, their god, or their nation. For few, it could be the mind or intelligence.

Some lessons have to be experienced before they can be understood.

An Anti-Pattern tells you how to go from a problem to a BAD solution.

Model view controller (MVC) is just a few design patterns put together.

A class should have only one reason to change.

[Khaled @hidden_profiles]

Encapsulate what varies.
