  • Machine Learning Andrej Karpathy lectures

Strewth! Me own bloomin' ideas were holdin' me back from havin' a gander at this machine learnin' caper. But crikey, after I caught some of that Karpathy bloke's moving pictures, I reckon I felt like givin' it a burl. This Karpathy fella, he starts his lessons right from scratch, like. None of that fancy-pants mathematics to make ya feel like a galah. Nah, he gets ya stuck right into the programming, quick smart. That suits this old cocky down to the ground, I tell ya. I'd rather learn by having a go at the programming meself than sittin' around yabberin' about theories till the cows come home. It's like shearing sheep - ya don't learn by watchin', ya learn by doin'!

At this moment, I am watching, and practising this series: Neural Networks: Zero to Hero. I will write my notes, and learning in future posts!

By the way, Claude 3.5 Sonnet has been very helpful - I use it to explain code, to generate code to draw matplotlib diagrams, etc.

Happy learning!
