Someone posts on X, "These are Ilya’s 30 papers", gives no source, doesn't say where he got it from, and isn't connected to either Ilya or Carmack (Ilya gave him the list). Then someone vibe codes a barely usable website based on that, and it lands on the HN front page? Is this correct?

First year CS student excited to learn about a thing puts together a small website of academic papers, posts it to HN to share with others. Then someone makes a shitty comment. Is that correct?

That's just hn for you. Not that it's a good thing (as per me at least), but that's what hn is, no matter how much it (or few from here) tries to think/pretend otherwise.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Compiled resources for nerds are catnip. Hit that bookmark/upvote button to never get to it :)

I feel seen. Straight to the "stuff to read later" bookmark pile/mausoleum :)

One time my brother upgraded his RAM so he could keep more tabs open. I think he was up to a couple hundred.

Possibly the original X tweet that popularized this list? 2024, 876k views https://x.com/keshavchan/status/1787861946173186062 In my opinion, whether it was actually by Ilya or not is not worthy of debate. Many of them are widely recognized for being good pedagogical resources (e.g. annotated transformer, unreasonable effectiveness of RNNs, understanding LSTM networks), and others are landmark papers which anyone int…

Even if Ilya didn't really create this list I have a very good opinion about every paper on this page that I've read (most of them) so I think it's a great resource. Lately during my off time I want to do something related to AI research (which I am already doing full time atm so I need something light) and I am for sure going to read through this.

It actually got to the front page though? I think what's more ironic is that the top comment thread on this is devolving into a discussion about hacker news meta and nobody in the comments section has written even 1 line about what these papers are or the subject or how useful they/the website is. Yes that is correct.

Useful list, but just needs an awesome list with links: https://github.com/ianchanning/ilya-sutskever-recommended-re...

For beginners I'd recommend the Welch Labs Illustrated Guide To AI if your not well versed in reading papers. Its a beautiful book that I've enjoyed going through. I'd recommend going through these papers after reading that to get a deep understanding.

Bought because of this comment. Thanks!

Hey guys, I really appreciate all of the attention this post has received. I honestly thought it was going to be just a small project to help some of my friends get into reading research papers. A large number of people complained about how intense some of the backgrounds/animations were (I might have been a bit too focused on making something that looked cool over usability). In response I have added toggles for bot…

Even with the motion/background button toggles you are still left with tiny fonts that make it hard to read.

It actually made me check my browser wasn't set to zoom out. But then using zoom changes nothing, which breaks accessibility.

Also why does the header need to take up 3/4 of the screen?

[edit] Clicking on a paper doesn't even bring the paper up. I have to hit another click to get to it.
