Resources for self-teaching Japanese
Hi! So I’ve been self-teaching japanese for a while now and I think some of the resources I’ve built over the years may be of interest for people, so I’ll centralize them here. I will also add a couple of recommendations, but I’ll try to keep it light. I’ll highlight the stuff I produced with…

Playing around with GPT2
So lately I’ve been spending a relative amount of time toying with GPT2, who made the headlines about producing text so believable that it was considered dangerous (GPT2 is the toned down version). ML and Reddit I started by getting hooked on this GPT2 generated subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/SubSimulatorGPT2/ Which I highly recommend to everyone to read…
