idkwhatimdoin··on CrowdStrike ex-employees: 'Quality control was not part of our process'
> If thorough investigation revealed poor quality control investment compared to what would be appropriate for a company like this, then we can say for sure.

We don't really need that thorough of an investigation. They had no staged deploys when servicing millions of machines. That alone is enough to say they're not running the company correctly.

idkwhatimdoin··on Supreme Court overturns 40-year-old "Chevron deference" doctrine
You're literally staring at the courts dismantling several decades long precedent, though?

Except this and other rulings mean there's no such thing as "solid precedent" anymore.
idkwhatimdoin··on Llm.c – LLM training in simple, pure C/CUDA
> you’re literally commenting on a teachers content.

How am I supposed to know that?

> Karpathy (the author) has a very informative YouTube channel where he goes step by step through everything.

Or that, without knowing that he's a teacher?

> Terse variables are a C thing.

I didn't realize variables had to be so short in C. Glad I write C++ professionally where they've added support for longer variable names.

> If all else fails… Google it.

There's a lot of LLM garbage out there. I got an answer here in a few minutes pointing to Karpathy's course which seems very high quality.

Be kinder.

idkwhatimdoin··on Llm.c – LLM training in simple, pure C/CUDA
If I was starting from scratch, what resources should I start with to build up an understanding of what this code does and how to read it? It's quite dense and my knowledge of LLMs is quite minimal. Are these terse variable names standard in LLM-land?
