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.

CUSTOM GAME ENGINES: A Small Study

A couple of weeks ago I played (and finished) A Plague Tale, a game by Asobo Studio. I was really captivated by the game, not only by the beautiful graphics but also by the story and the locations in the game. I decided to investigate a bit about the game tech and I was surprised to see it was developed with a custom engine by a relatively small studio. I know there are some companies using custom engines but it's very difficult to find a detailed market study with that kind of information curated and updated. So this article.

Nowadays lots of companies choose engines like Unreal or Unity for their games (or that's what lot of people think) because d

Monoids in Haskell, an Introduction

Why should programmers care about Monoids? Because Monoids are a common pattern that shows up over and over in programming. And when patterns show up, we can abstract them and leverage work we've done in the past. This allows us to quickly develop solutions on top of proven, stable code.

Add Commutative Property to a Monoid (Commutative Monoid) and you have something that can be executed in parallel. With the end of Moore's Law, parallelism is our only hope to increasing processing speeds.

What follows is what I've learned after studying Monoids. It is hardly complete, but hopefully will prove to be helpful as an introduction for others.

Essential JavaScript Links

I no longer mantain this list. There are lots of other very comprehensive JavaScript link lists out there. Please see those, instead (Google "awesome JavaScript" for a start).
