Anti-hype LLM reading list

Goals: Add links that are reasonable and good explanations of how stuff works. No hype and no vendor content if possible. Practical first-hand accounts of models in prod eagerly sought.

Foundational Concepts

Pre-Transformer Models

rain-1

Purpose

Bootstrap knowledge of LLMs ASAP. With a bias/focus to GPT.

Avoid being a link dump. Try to provide only valuable well tuned information.

Prelude

Neural network links before starting with transformers.

This instruction is about how to get a 3D model out of a PDF file.

We need:

• Python version not lower than 2.7
• Any version OS (Windows, Linux, Mac)

Extract

Download the Pythong PDF Parser: https://blog.didierstevens.com/programs/pdf-tools/

1. Search for the 3D object:

Convert PascalVOC Annotations to YOLO

This script reads PascalVOC xml files, and converts them to YOLO txt files.

Note: This script was written and tested on Ubuntu. YMMV on other OS's.

Disclaimer: This code is a modified version of Joseph Redmon's voc_label.py

Instructions:

1. Place the convert_voc_to_yolo.py file into your data folder.

Edit Feb 4 5:16 PM: Skip to the bottom if you just want the article

It has been brought to my attention that rehosting someone else's content without asking them — even if you link to the original content — is not exactly polite. I did not ask the author before I rehosted his article, and while I feel I should have known better than to that, it just didn't occurr to me. It's not exactly plagarism, but it's still wrong on some level. I have reached out to him now about hosting it here publically, and if he says it's alright, I'll put it back.

You can find the original article here, on his site, and on his Medium page.
