I really disliked the book. Probably one of the worst books I’ve ever read.
Some times HN shows well-written and researched blog pieces about events or characters in scientific history. This book felt like the author read a bunch of these and put them together in a book. Then the reality-fantasy aspect of it makes no sense to me.
One of the things I don't like about the Julia ecosystem is the monolithic libraries that have tons of dependencies. DiffEq is one of those. I think its fine to write a script but if you want to develop something more sophisticated, you want to keep your dependencies lean.
I’m sure this question has been asked plenty of times but what is the best place to start with LLMs (no theory, just installing them locally, fine tuning them, etc)
