#3Wonderful! Just went through the GPT video the other day and it was great. Andrej has a talent for pedagogy via simplification.

And he presents all this stuff with humility. Many people that present are just showing off and are pretty much full of themselves. I suppose they need the ego boost, who knows. But Andrej could be the nice guy next door in the dorm who is studying the same course as you, just that hr is a lecture or two ahead. (Until you figure out he is the former VP of AI at Tesla or whatever his title ended up being before he left.)
I can even recommend his interview with Lex Fridman.

Absolutely agree with this.

He is a master educator. While at Stanford he developed their undergrad machine learning intro course named cs231n which immediately became legendary. It's somewhat out of date on some details but it's still well worth watching especially as delivered by Andrej. You can find all 11 lectures on YouTube.

#7A little offtopic, but is this something that someone with only webdev experience can get started with?

#8What I appreciate about karpathy's videos is that it doesn't make things any more complicated than they need to be. Simple, engineering language is used. No gatekeeping! It's reassuring, and lets everyone know that anyone can do it.
Thanks karpathy!

Which GPT Video?

#10This was the first time I actually grokked backpropagation, just the first video alone is more lucid and valuable than any other resource about machine learning I had seen before, in fact it's so well explained that i managed to implement the library almost completely from memory after watching it - I cannot recommend it highly enough, especially for programmers without a math background!
The only aspect I could see being non-ideal for some is that it uses some Python-specific cleverness/advanced syntax and semantics (__call__(), list comprehensions with two for's, **kwargs, __add__, __repr__, subclasses, (nested) functions as variables etc.), but if you are familiar with these it might seem more compact and elegant as well.
