No worries, you're good, yes Karpathy is for sure the better route

Thanks! I agree about the style
Haha, couldn't agree with you more. This, however, isn't AI slop. You can see in the commit history that this is from 3 years ago
Karpathy's material is excellent! This was a project I made for fun, and hopefully provides a different perspective on how this can look
Makes sense. This is probably one of the few clear examples of models getting better by learning from content online written about themselves.
Good article, but I think it misdiagnoses the problem. Chromium is complex because what it implements is complex. Dillo is smaller because it doesn't support as many features. It's a solution to a simpler problem. Still, great article.
I like Markdown as is from a writing perspective. I wrote a recursive descent Markdown parser for a project recently, and I quickly realized how painfully ambiguous Markdown is. Lists (specifically nested lists) are the worst offenders.
Despite CommonMark, I find that many common Markdown parsers tend to "do it their own way" when it comes to edge cases. So I like this. This seems less ambiguous and easier to parse. But I don't think I'm going to be switching from regular Markdown anytime soon.
I agree with this completely; ChatGPT search is perfect for most use cases. I find it to be better than OpenAI's deep research in my experience-- it often uses 2-3x the sources, and has a more comprehensive, well-thought-out report. I'm sure there are still cases where deep research is preferable, but I haven't come across those yet.
I believe this is just the normal mode. In my experience, you don't have to select the web search option to make it search the web. I wonder why they have web search as an option at this point (to force the llm to search?)
