Karpathy shares LLM knowedge base
Honestly, I am kind of surprised that this is so "groundbreaking" - it seems to make a lot of sense. Has anyone tried this?
People are sort of doing this already by trying to save context, Karpathy is now just suggesting to add lots of backlinks, linting, etc. It's basically using the LLM to create your own personal high quality wiki.

Yea, I'm confused. How is this different than what cursor was already doing a year ago with markdown files like cursor-rules etc.?
I guess his "wiki" setup is more nuanced, but I've been having great success with a /docs/ in my proj repo, with AI-maintained docs for my codebase.
Yeah, right? Thanks for the validation. I am not by any means an expert here, and Karpathy definitely is, but I was really surprised to see this blow up so much. I feel like a lot of people in this space get stuck in ruts of "everyone is doing it this way" and not too many people are thinking creatively.
It seems Karpathy was surprised by this too, he later put up a gist of the full prompt.
I have this theory that as 'AI-natives', we've normalized what still mind blowns 99% of the world, and that what seems obvious to us, is still completely new to the rest of the world. It feels like they're ~6 months, possibly a year, behind.
