The L502X had the best keyboard and speakers of any laptop I've ever owned. It still has plenty of horsepower under Window 7 too, but everything has deprecated support for that OS. Maybe one day will install a flavour of Linux on it. It's too good to let go to e-waste!


The L502X speakers were in a completely different class for the era, and still competitive today against current MBPs.

IMO, ThinkPads from the same release year (T420 etc.) equipped with the NMB keyboard had a far better layout and feel.


This is making me quite curious, how does it compare to modern MacBooks which I’ve come to consider to have excellent sound?


I have Linux on mine and it's still alive.


Karpathy's series is many many hours long and really does take you from zero to GPT. It's excellent! You sound triggered by the title - that may not even be the official title - but it definitely deserves it. Go look it up.


The title suggests I wouldn't like it, yes. But as a video series it's not 'a textbook or at least written' is i - not really the format I'm looking for personally.


Truly.. one of the greatest minds in our ML era. Don't get caught up on the format :)


I just don't find it an effective way of learning personally. I didn't expect this to be so controversial - different people learn differently.


I recommend this for groundwork to get you near LLM, and cover the journey deeply. I used some of this as a helper course for Karpathy. I learned things here he didn’t cover and vice versa. https://www.cs.toronto.edu/~rgrosse/courses/csc321_2018/

I haven’t done tonnes of courses so there might be better. But this is good as a free one.


Thanks!


Fair enough if you prefer to slog through an entire textbook. But for anyone else.. I can't recommend this series more highly, it was just amazing, no filler, pure step after step, explained methodically to the end goal.


Lol I had to slog through some traditional material to keep up with Karpathy. A lot is covered in those videos.


Engineered obsolescence before the warranty even runs out, well played WD! /s


You are 100% correct, unsuccessful guys need to seek help and there are paid services out there. Or speak to a few women on these platforms (chicken-egg I know) and you will be told what others are doing that is turning them off. You need to treat this for what it is, marketing. You don't just put up your first attempt and say women aren't into me. You need to iterate and experiment. I know, it's hard work, 90% of guys won't put in the effort, they will just complain they aren't in the top 0.1% in attractiveness.


Unfortunately if you want to rank these days you have to implement these kind of things, or Google marks you site down as having poor performance. At least with a standard <img> attribute there is now a chance for a simple browser setting to turn the behaviour on/off/auto depending on connection type/etc.. unlike all of the various javascript solutions.

The Chrome extension store has you covered!

I am using one called "I don't care about cookies" and I rarely see them these days.


I recently had to do this and after a lot of frustration with wget, httrack and some other commercial ones too, I ended up settling on the results of this free product, WebCopy.

https://www.cyotek.com/cyotek-webcopy

Background: We couldn't keep the existing platform running, so had to transition to static html files.

I used the WebCopy scan log to create the apache rewrite rules to preserve the existing link structure.

Where I say WebCopy was better, it was this simple log, but also the file structure it was producing was much cleaner with less junk pages and duplicates. (the site was an absolute inconsistent mess to begin with)


I was surprised to not find any product that could create a perfect static clone of the original, as far as maintaining the incoming link structure.

I know there would be a tonne of edge cases and obviously it would need to be targeted to a particular platform, but I think we came pretty close with this simple technique.


If you only need to share a keyboard and mouse between Windows machines, then checkout Input Director, which works great! And is free for non-commercial use. I have no relationship with them, just a very satisfied personal user over many years.

I have switched to The Great Discarder, by the same developer.

Advantages over The Great Suspender: - More memory savings - Compatible with chrome tab syncing - Super lightweight extension that uses no content scripts or persistent background scripts

Disadvantages over The Great Suspender: - No visibility on which tabs have been suspended - Unable to prevent a tab from reloading when it gains focus

Word of warning!

I just switched to The Great Discarder from The Great Suspender. You probably want to resume all suspended tabs back, because if you will remove The Great Suspender extension suspended tabs will get closed.

Other then that it was what I always wanted from The Great Suspender (or the browser) in the first place.


Very frustrating video, would it be too much to ask for just a still photo!


Seriously! The video even cuts out before it gets to the actual "sweet spot".. this basically couldn't get any worse.


Maybe someone was listening, it's a fixed shot now. :-)
