What is Simon's Blog? When I search that I get one blog about politics and another about IELTS (learning/teaching English).

Out of sheer curiosity, how much time did you spend on it on average? How much of this knowledge are you using now?
Not the poster you responded to but I learned quite a bit from kaggle too. I started from scratch, spent 2-4 hrs per day for 6 months & won a silver in a kaggle NLP competition. Now I use some of it now but not all of it. More than that, I'm quite comfortable with models, understand the costs/benefits/implications etc. I started with Andrew Ng's intro courses, did a bit of fastai, did Karpathy's Zero to Hero fully, a…

It sounds like you want more broad stuff, not necessarily learning how to train models. More like learning to use them and how they work. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36195527 and Hacker's Guide to LLMs by Jeremy from Fast.ai - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkrNMKz9pWU State of GPT by Karpathy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZQun8Y4L2A LLMs by 3b1b - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPZh9BOjkQs Visualizin…

For Bluesky, there's a Starter Pack consisting of only Google DeepMind employees. Seems like a good place to start on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/starter-pack/sharky6000.bsky.social/3l7kt6x...

Thanks; this is a very helpful and informative reply. Are you referring to DeepLearning.AI?
fastai is also amazing, but it's made of 1.5 hour videos, and is more freeflowing. By the time I even figured out where we stopped last time, my time would sometimes be up. It was very discouraging because of this. But later, once I got a little more time & some basic understanding from Andrew Ng, I was able to attempt fastai.

I agree with this statement, most YouTube channels are incentivized to keep repeating the same trivial information like how to compose prompts etc
Completely agree in general, but his are not that. Yes he talks about recent stuff but it’s very considered and not attention or influence seeking IMO
I don't think it's a good idea to kepp up to date at a daily/weekly cadence, unless you somehow directly get paid for it. It's like checking stocks daily, it doesn't lead to good investment decisions. It's better to do it more batchy, like once every 6-12 months or so.
How do you do that? Once you're out of the loop for half a year, it becomes harder to know what's important and what's not, I think.
