Stanford Computer Science has so much alpha because its classes update within months of real-world research.
Most other top universities in the world don't do that, and "premier" institutions in other countries are sometimes 15-25yrs out of date.
Best part: it's free online.

Stop saying vector search retrieves the *most relevant* items to your search query.
It doesn’t.
It retrieves the *most semantically similar* items.
Similarity and relevancy are not the same.

In the post, we tell you how to get the most out of the course, what to expect, and how to navigate the materials. We are still adding a few lessons, but 95% of them are on the site.
This is a unique course with 30+ legendary instructors @fly_upside_down @mlpowered @haileysch__ @sophiamyang @jeremyphoward @johnowhitaker @ankrgyl @corbtt @marksaroufim @eugeneyan @BEBischof @sh_reya @dan_s_becker @vanstriendaniel @JoeEHoover @charles_irl @winglian @TheZachMueller @simonw @stevenheidel @abhi1thakur @TravisAddair @freddy_alfonso_ @hwchase17 @JnBrymn @jxnlco
Our paid students got over 3k of compute credits, office hours, and an active discord that was so much fun. I'm not sure we can ever replicate what happened there. However, the least we can do is open all of the knowledge and materials. Enjoy!

I started my career in Data Science back in 2016 ⏳
Being self-taught, YouTube has been a great source of learning for me!
Here are some of the channels I've ardently followed:

I am starting a new company:
Superintelligence is within reach.
Building safe superintelligence (SSI) is the most important technical problem of our time.
We've started the world’s first straight-shot SSI lab, with one goal and one product: a safe superintelligence.
It’s called Safe Superintelligence Inc.
SSI is our mission, our name, and our entire product roadmap, because it is our sole focus. Our team, investors, and business model are all aligned to achieve SSI.
We approach safety and capabilities in tandem, as technical problems to be solved through revolutionary engineering and scientific breakthroughs. We plan to advance capabilities as fast as possible while making sure our safety always remains ahead.
This way, we can scale in peace.
Our singular focus means no distraction by management overhead or product cycles, and our business model means safety, security, and progress are all insulated from short-term commercial pressures.
We are an American company with offices in Palo Alto and Tel Aviv, where we have deep roots and the ability to recruit top technical talent.
We are assembling a lean, cracked team of the world’s best engineers and researchers dedicated to focusing on SSI and nothing else.
If that’s you, we offer an opportunity to do your life’s work and help solve the most important technical challenge of our age.
Now is the time. Join us.

Replying to @hi_sonu_
Note that this is the latest entry to my “Zero to Hero” lecture series. If you’re a beginner I would watch the playlist from start and in order and then I think yes, you should be able to get pretty far.

you know just because you ask an LLM to describe its inner state doesnt mean that its answer was the result of it actually inspecting any kind of inner state
