Reportedly, Carmack did it an a week by locking himself in an hotel room
How hard can it be? It's only 30 papers. Maybe someone should ask Chuck Norris how long it took him. Who wants to go first?

Got a source on that? I know that they were married for 25 years. That's a lot of time for people to change and for differences between their needs and wants to grow. I can say that he is exactly where he wants to be professionally, and I don't think you're suggesting that taking a week out of a year to learn new things is too risky because your wife might leave you.

How long does it take to learn the prerequisites to learn these if you don't already have a CS background? Reading through the list, I can barely parse half the titles due to acronyms and terms I've never seen before. Would I be able to figure them out along the way? Or is there a body of knowledge this is assuming I should already have? (This isn't a criticism of the list, or even the idea of presenting such a list…
On the related subject: any way to filter out anything AI/LLM related from HN ?

Just learn 30 papers
Or keep doom scrolling some other shit. Your choice. At least this is relevant information for people who are actually interested.
Would be nice if someone put those into an llm and generate a single coherent document with all the essential knowledge.

I've found that the many of the relationships I'm most proud to have in my life are with those who had a reputation for being difficult and/or insufferable.
Sometimes, with people who care to do so, they can work on those weaknesses and find ways to limit their impacts on themselves and others.
But everything comes at a cost.
Takeaway: if at least some of your friends aren't difficult in some ways, you're missing out on a lot.

What a strangely narrow way of looking at this. Work isn’t the only responsibility. What is the correlation between taking a week away from responsibilities - work, family, etc. - and job satisfaction?
If one cannot disappear for a week to think or study he is putting himself at some serious life disadvantage. My 2c. I do not mean telling family that I am disappearing for a week starting tomorrow, but that I want to disappear for a week in a couple of months and the family would cover responsibilities for me (I should be willing to reciprocate).
The headline belies the scope of this task. If you click in to see what these are: - one is a full course in convolutional neural networks https://cs231n.github.io/ - one is a 500 page text book https://www.lirmm.fr/~ashen/kolmbook-eng-scan.pdf - another one is an 80 page text book (?) https://arxiv.org/pdf/math/0406077 and so on. I would guess it is possible to go through this list if you make it your full time job…

Anyone can read an absurd amount of text in a week. To absorb and understand it all is a different matter entirely.
Seems more likely to me that Carmack simply convinced himself he'd understood it all. He does seem to think very highly of himself.
