HN readers link this blog's two-part explainer, "The Intuition Behind How Large Language Models Work", which covers how LLMs work. The only comment is a list of archive mirrors, so it says nothing about the writing.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
