Every tip in Andrej Karpathy's post is gold. I use the HTML one a lot. When I'm learning something new or trying to understand complex code, I ask the agent to build me a visual HTML page. Here I was learning SEO and GEO. The agent turned the key... show more

@karpathy Thanks for sharing this!

@karpathy I literally ask AI to make me complete career paths for me to tackle. It took a couple weeks, but is possible and easy to read.

@karpathy How about the cost? When you ask to generate something in HTML, it burns a lot of token or do you use alternative free AI? Because i try to not buy a pro plan and paid subscription, can i still manage to build it in HTML?

@karpathy A nice next step: ask the page to make you predict the result before revealing it. Clicking through an explanation can feel like understanding; changing an input, making a prediction and getting it wrong shows you exactly what you haven’t learned yet.

@karpathy Yeah, trying to create an HTML communication skill, but the thing is, I'm not able to create a very good skill that can convey information beautifully. Any tips?

@karpathy yh the clickable page is nice but i'd be careful, if you can't spot a wrong claim yet then a polished page makes it feel checked. seo and geo advice is half guesswork so i'd make it put a source next to every claim

@karpathy Yeah, hallucinations are definitely a concern here.

Ask your Agent what he thinks about it in comparison to md files. It is BS. Token consumption will go up due to the waste in the html files. Limited word catalog of the aerospace standard will hurt your brain if you’re semi intelligent. And your agents will struggle to find content specific word.

@karpathy Asking for an HTML page forces the agent to commit to a structure, so gaps in its understanding show up as missing boxes. Did the SEO and GEO page get anything wrong that you only noticed because it was drawn out?

@karpathy this is how i end up with 40 tabs open and a new hobby every week

@karpathy custom textbook for an audience of one.

@karpathy That airlines manual thingy drastically changed outputs for me, even on smaller models.

@karpathy same, the html pages click better than walls of text. did this for a messy api last week and it finally stuck. your seo one looks clean too.

@karpathy Yeah, I will literally never make a PowerPoint again 😂

@karpathy yeah I’d take a clickable page over 50 pages of docs any day lol

@karpathy Same here. Asking the agent for an interactive HTML page instead of a wall of text changed how fast I pick up new stuff.

@karpathy Fanboy Post and Late to the Party
