- half the posts are locked

- other half have no visualizations whatsoever

- i have posted far better resources than this in the past collecting everything HN has over a 10 yr period on these subjects https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49183198

I watched the intro video and all I saw were numbers in an Excel sheet. That doesn't make this fun. I'd rather have AI ELI5 it to me.

I'm not sure what this is. Click past the subscribe page to get a bunch of links to descriptions of articles I could read if I was a subscriber?

Scroll all the way down and there's a video, it's a course he's making for deep-dive into how Qwen 3.6 works internally

Yes. Convince me why your site is worth my attention, don't try to force it through a dark pattern and then try to justify why I should waste my time figuring it out.

i created something similar a while back. Inspired by micrograd for showing the connection between math/calculus and code, then building along the way to a full NumPy deep learning library that I pretrained GPT-2 124M model with it. One way to learn is to trace through the PRs merged to the repo in chronological order.

The philosophy is the same: "What I cannot create, I do not understand." https://github.com/workofart/ml-by-hand

My professor used this "by hand" technique when teaching quantum computation algorithms, so I have a soft spot for it.

I’d say bad UX design. It may or may not be something good behind the door. But why do I enter?
