An odd thing with my Tesla #modelx: When I park at the airport for 2 wks (any season), the battery is nearly depleted after a full charge. When I park @ home, I've lost ~50mi (vs 150) of range. FWIW, I turn off everything I can @ airport, covered parking.

Back in April, I set out to write an explainer on how large language models work. First I had to learn how they worked, and that was harder than I expected. This article is the culmination of 2+ months of in-depth research. I hope people find it useful. understandingai.org/p/large-langua…
