Is it working out well for tech pdf's and books? Once I saw the form factor I realized it would be better than an iPad (less heavy, better battery) and that is the use case I am looking at. Might wait till v2.
From what I understand the iPad mini weighs the same with a slightly larger screen. Has their matte display option.
I have big pockets so for me it’s probably pocketable. But I still would have a phone. So I’ve got a duo on order with a year lease so I’m not stuck if I don’t think it’s great.
I have to confess to considering a mini with cellular instead of a phone altogether though.
My full stack JS jockey buddy studied this in the nascent days of LLMs to prep for an interview and is now generationally wealthy. Sliding doors moment for sure...
I'd note that the Fleuret books gives the foundation for basic deep learning whereas the OP seems to give the necessary foundations for Transformers and related machinery. These later addition what is now "AI" are in total at least as complicated as the original deep learning concepts. Not that just learning basic neural networks but the two book don't appear to cover the same ground.
Only had a quick skim, but looks like the content of this book has very little to do with transformers. Might be more relevant for diffusion models (image/video generation) though.
It's a nice treatment of the subject, but I wish he would post a conventionally-formatted .PDF that puts every page on a full sheet of standard printer paper.
Another book which I would highly recommend for learning the math (or at least getting a very good idea of how it works) behind machine learning/transformers is "Why Machines Learn: The Elegant Math Behind Modern AI" by Anil Ananthaswamy. I read it this past year and I found it was extremely good at pacing and building up intuition to the "how and why" of most important math concepts and discoveries in ML that have lead to where we are today. For those who don't already have a fairly deep understanding of linear algebra, statistics, and multivariate calculus, this book will be a far more gentle introduction yet still has enough rigor for you to come away with something.
The very first formula in the text, explicitly described as "as simple as possible," names its variable ê1 with no explanation given. I think this paper needs another pass.
What do you mean "no explanation given"? It says: "In 2 dimensions, the standard (or identity) basis vectors are ê1 = [ 1 0 ] and ê2 = [0 1]." Seems pretty clear to me he's defining ê1 and ê2, or rather telling us that he's using this very common way of naming the basis vectors.
It's just giving a vector a name. It also names ê₂. These particular names are very standard and familiar to most people who've met vectors before.
You can look at those vectors and see that the position of the 1 is the subscript, without explanation. The ^ could do with an explanation that it means unit vector, but if you've met vectors before you likely know that (maybe that's elsewhere in the book, but a quick search didn't find it).
That's absolutely standard notation for a unit basis vector. I haven't read the prerequisites carefully, so if it addressed to the general public maybe?
Is there any one who have recommended books on the attention architecture specifically? I have been interested in that for a long time but never gotten around to actually studying it.
I'm v curious how you're incorporating this into your workflow. Is it that when you want to implement something you can call out to these books as rigorous reference material for your agents? I'd never thought of doing such a thing and am curious how you're doing it and how it's worked.
From the Dust jacket:
The apocalypse will be televised!
You know what’s worse than breaking up with your girlfriend? Being stuck with her prize-winning show cat. And you know what’s worse than that? An alien invasion, the destruction of all man-made structures on Earth, and the systematic exploitation of all the survivors for a sadistic intergalactic game show. That’s what.
READ MORE
Join Coast Guard vet Carl and his ex-girlfriend’s cat, Princess Donut, as they try to survive the end of the world—or just get to the next level—in a video game–like, trap-filled fantasy dungeon. A dungeon that’s actually the set of a reality television show with countless viewers across the galaxy. Exploding goblins. Magical potions. Deadly, drug-dealing llamas. This ain’t your ordinary game show.
Welcome, Crawler. Welcome to the Dungeon. Survival is optional. Keeping the viewers entertained is not.

It is perhaps addressed to a different crowd?
