We launched the "Build your own GPT" from scratch project on NeetCode - inspired by @karpathy 's Lets build GPT series
Some reasons you should check it out:
- it's beginner friendly / no ML background required
- solve 36 real ML problems, learning math, NLP, pytorch, transformers & more
- each of your solutions is a .py file
- after you solve all problems, you will have built a working GPT clone you can run locally
- automatically sync your solutions to github as you progress
- a lot of other really cool features, like some problems are inspired by research papers, so for these we embedded the actual paper pdfs and highlighted the important sections, so you dont need to keep opening new tabs
TLDR: Learn ML. Build a real project. Show off your work.
All 100% free.
substack should have a button on paid articles, enabled as an option by authors, that lets a benefactor "buy it for everyone." e.g. a rich benefactor may think it to be worth $500 or some such amount to make an article behind a paywall free for everyone.

"If you own assets as the dollar devalues and everything inflates in value, our asset prices go up. We get wealthier and wealthier. The majority of Americans do not own assets. They are net asset negative

Please structure your response into the following three sections:
1. THE KEY DEBATES
Identify the 3-5 most critical debates currently happening around this stock that are driving its valuation. These should be specific controversies or uncertainty points (e.g., "durability of segment X," "margin pressure," "competitive threats"), not generic market risks.
2. BULL VS. BEAR VS. CONSENSUS
For each debate identified above, outline:
- The Bull Case: What is the optimistic view?
- The Bear Case: What is the pessimistic view?
- The Consensus: Which side is currently priced in or widely accepted by the market?
3. EARNINGS VALIDATION
Analyze the most recently reported quarterly results against these specific debates. For each debate, determine if the latest numbers/guidance:

- Validated the Bear Thesis
- Was Neutral/Inconclusive
Provide specific evidence from the earnings report (metrics, quotes, guidance updates) to support your conclusion for each section.
This is remarkable: AI generated a novel cancer fighting hypothesis and labs confirmed.
The model demonstrated fluency in the language of human biology. Listening to what cells were saying, understanding their context, and talking back with a new idea that nature validated.
