       | Huge props to A16Z for supporting lucidrains' work! His prolific
       | output was instrumental to my self-teaching process when learning
       | about Transformers, as he probably has the largest collection of
       | publicly available implementations of Transformer-related papers
       | in PyTorch.
       | 
       | I think a large amount of people who get interested in
       | implementing deep learning papers end up referencing lucidrains'
       | work.

       | filtering/classification after something like artspew).

       | A bit surprised about common crawl, is the financial cost there
       | due to the massively bloated scale of the modern web they're
       | (presumably) still trying to crawl?
