Every video on this shelf has to solve the same problem: attention is a mechanism made of matrix multiplication, and matrix multiplication is not something you can watch. So each of them picks a metaphor — a lookup table, a search engine, a room where words vote on each other — and the entire quality of the video is decided by what happens after the metaphor.
The ones that rank highly here spend the metaphor quickly and then show the actual operation: what the three projections are, what shape the things being multiplied have, why the scaling term is there, what the mask does. The ones lower down keep the metaphor going for forty minutes, restated in progressively more elaborate ways, and never show a number.
Both types are titled “transformers explained”. The density measurement is what separates them, because a metaphor restated is by definition not new information, and it is the single most common way this topic becomes an hour of video.
Entries carry a difficulty level, and on this topic it matters more than anywhere else on the site: a video that is perfect for someone who already knows what a dot product does is a wasted hour for someone who does not, and the reverse is worse.

Jak ustala się ten ranking
Każdy film tutaj zmierzono na tych samych osiach — ile z czasu trwania niesie informację, ile to zbędne treści i w której sekundzie film zaczyna się opłacać. Kolejność wynika z gęstości wartości, a nie z liczby wyświetleń, świeżości czy tego, jak bardzo podobał nam się kanał. Co oznaczają te liczby →
