Here, in full directly on Twitter, is "A Hackers' Guide to Language Models". This 90 minute tutorial is designed to be the one place I point coders at when they ask "hey, tell me everything I need to know about LLMs!"
It covers both @OpenAI models and open source ones in depth.

Amazing case report. The medicine of tomorrow. 5 week old boy admitted to NICU. Within 37 hours he had his whole genome sequenced, gene defect identified, treatment ordered and received by patient. Within 6 hr symptoms resolved. tinyurl.com/4emtz2p4

OK, so you didn't have to, I climbed inside the mouth of a wax moth (Galleria mellonella) larvae, charted a path through its entire gut, and scrambled out of its butt #InverteButt

This curious photo shows two juvenile soil #nematodes as they attempt to grab a ride from a passing #springtail or #mite by gently swaying and questing in the air...

This is my latest blog post about giant springtails. Originally written for another platform, I've redone and expanded the whole thing...!

HONGOS QUE CRECEN EN INSECTOS Y LOS CONTROLAN
Les convierten en "zombies" haciéndoles modificar su comportamiento.
El hongo /Ophiocordyceps/ consigue así reproducirse con éxito.
En ocasiones se utilizan para controlar plagas.

Hi. Someone just told me opossums are "disgusting creatures", and because that aggression cannot stand, I'm busting out this old piece @_adamwilson & I did a million years ago and which is, sadly, no longer on the internet. Enjoy!

Bel exemple de division du travail récolte/défense chez les insectes sociaux.
