You want a computer to understand text. But computers only understand numbers. They have no idea what "hello" means.

>> So you use tokens.

Text is split into small pieces, and each piece gets a number. "Unbelievable" becomes "Un", "believ" and "able". Now the computer can read.

But those numbers are random labels. "Dog" might be 4521 and "puppy" 9873. Nothing tells the computer they mean almost the same thing.

>> So you use embeddings.

Every token becomes a long list of numbers, placed so that similar meanings sit close together. "Dog" lands next to "puppy" and far from "Paris". Now numbers carry meaning.

But a word on its own is not enough. "Bank" means something different in "river bank" and "bank loan". The meaning depends on the neighbours.

>> So you use attention.

Every word looks at every other word and decides which ones matter. Now "bank" knows if it is near a river or a loan.

You have a structure that can read. But it knows nothing yet. Where does the knowledge come from?

>> So you use training.

You feed it a huge amount of text and give it one job: predict the next token. Every wrong guess adjusts billions of numbers called weights. After trillions of guesses, those weights hold grammar, facts, and reasoning.

But the trained model only knows how to continue text. Ask "What is the capital of France?" and it might write three more quiz questions. It is not being difficult. It has never seen a conversation.

>> So you use fine-tuning.

You train it further on thousands of examples of good questions and answers. Now it behaves like an assistant.

But it always picks the single most likely next word. Every answer sounds the same, flat and repetitive.

>> So you use temperature.

Low temperature plays it safe, which is right for code and facts. High temperature takes chances, which is right for ideas and writing. You choose the risk.

Now you paste in a 500-page manual and ask a question. Half of it gets ignored. In long chats, it forgets what you said at the start.

>> That is the context window.

The model can only see so much text at once. Everything outside it does not exist.

Then you ask about your company's internal docs. The weights were frozen during training and were never seen. The model does not say "I don't know". It writes something that sounds right and is completely wrong.

>> That is hallucination.

It is not lying. It is predicting text, not checking facts.

>> So you use RAG.

Before answering, the system searches your real documents and puts the relevant parts into the context window. Now it is an open-book exam, not a memory test.

But it can still only talk. It cannot check your server, query your database, or open a ticket.

So you give it tools. The model decides which tool to call, reads the result, and keeps going until the job is done.

>>That is an agent everyone seems to be building these days.

it is genuinely nuts that the difference between living an exceptional life and a mediocre one comes down almost entirely to your ability to recognize which parts of a “normal life” are traps you should avoid at all costs

[Dziles @Pridah_]

Years of education, yet no one taught us how to console a grieving friend or what to say when someone we love is at their lowest.

[micah @micahomnd]

just learn from elite company blogs:

- google for systems (gfs, mapreduce, etc.)
- anthropic/openai for agents (lilian weng's blog)
- stripe's blog for high-stakes engineering (zero downtime, idempotency, payments, etc.)

it's absurd how much knowledge is free

notes on personal finance (what they were never going to teach you)

>create multiple income streams. stop relying solely on an income stream that has too great an impact on your quality of life. stop being a hostage to your own life
>you won’t get rich by working for someone else. jobs and careers are great until you realize the salary they give you is not enough to fund any major life change. performance-based roles are a must and the only right thing to do when it comes to building your career
>an emergency fund (3 to 6 months of monthly expenses) is essential. that should be your #1 priority if you do not have one. there might be a time (hopefully it won't) when this fund will save you. yes, this belong into the being rich post. one would be surprised how many people don’t have it
>definitions you have to fully understand (+ can apply to your daily life): 1) assets vs. liabilities, 2) interest, 3) debt, 4) leverage, 5) compounding, 6) inflation , 7) opportunity cost, 8) net worth (difference between liquid and illiquid), 9) cash flow
>forget about getting rich in your late years. there is so much you can do in your 60s or 70s. not even considering your health or what you will be able to do. as it will allow you to buy yourself time, peace, or avoid doing things you didn’t want to do in the first place
>the best thing you can do today is to start tracking how you spend your money. not to save more. not to penny pinch. not to become frugal. but to become aware of what takes up most of your time and energy. every purchase we make requires energy. it might sound stupid until you realize it is true
>if you have yet to pick a career and you want to maximize your income. the answer will always come down to sales. enterprise sales, investment banking (sales), consulting (sales), private equity (sales)… sales. unlimited cap and unlimited opportunities. it is all about performance-based roles
>forget about keeping up with your neighbors, friends, and the joneses. there is a good chance they are highly leveraged… and broke
>equity and ownership at all costs. give yourself enough space so you do not have to deal with equity vampires or those trying to take away what matters
>your pain tolerance directly correlates with your ability to make money
>you can make 1 mil/month, but if you spend 1.1 mil/month. you are broke. many examples out there, especially in sports and entertainment
>the most practical way to stop spending money on unnecessary things is to identify 3 - 4 items in your life that bring 80% of your happiness
>there is no crying in a casino
>your spawn location (and where you live) plays a huge role in your mission to be rich. there is a massive difference between a top 3 city in the world, where only the sky is the limit, and living in a tier 3 city. internet money has made this 10x better for everyone. yet the same rule still applies (connections, potential…)
>marry rich. this might be a joke or not
>never be 100% invested in only one asset. one industry. one niche. one product. diversify. while we are at it. never sell your assets. what you want to do instead is hold and contribute to grow it further

[E-go @EgoDriv]

The only three things that will make you actually get off your ass and pursue your potential are Fear, Passion or Rage.

This is how humans are designed.

And if you only rely one, you will always end up with the short end of the stick.

You need all three. Constantly.

You need to be in love with what you do, angry at the world and dead scared of never living up to what you know you should become.

It’s paradoxically this shit that makes you the happiest.

This is void you’re trying to fill.

@AlexHormozi Stop being a bitch who always complains about how miserable your life has been and how unlucky you are in every situation in your life.

No one cares, and no one likes a crybaby. Be a man, own your shit, get your shit together, and become the man God has destined you to be.

Get over yourself. There is no magic. Only the work.
