Anti-hype LLM reading list

Goals: Add links that are reasonable and good explanations of how stuff works. No hype and no vendor content if possible. Practical first-hand accounts of models in prod eagerly sought.

Prelude

I. Preface and Motivation

This guide was written because I don't particularly enjoy deploying Phoenix (or Elixir for that matter) applications. It's not easy. Primarily, I don't have a lot of money to spend on a nice, fancy VPS so compiling my Phoenix apps on my VPS often isn't an option. For that, we have Distillery releases. However, that requires me to either have a separate server for staging to use as a build server, or to keep a particular version of Erlang installed on my VPS, neither of which sound like great options to me and they all have the possibilities of version mismatches with ERTS. In addition to all this, theres a whole lot of configuration which needs to be done to setup a Phoenix app for deployment, and it's hard to remember.

For that reason, I wanted to use Docker so that all of my deployments would be automated and reproducable. In addition, Docker would allow me to have reproducable builds for my releases. I could build my releases on any machine that I wanted in a contai

2. Wolfram Mathworld — Like wikipedia, but only for Math. Go here when you have no idea what an "Isotopic Kernel is or why you would care. Mathworld will give you 80+ entries that are linked.

//
// In Solidity, a mapping is like a hashmap and works with `string` like this:
//   mapping (string => uint) a; 
//
// However it doesn't support accessors where string is a key:
//   mapping (string => uint) public a;
//
// "Internal compiler error: Accessors for mapping with dynamically-sized keys not yet implemented."
//
// An accessor returns uint when called as `a(string)`.
