Using LLMs to Build Personal Research Knowledge Bases(x.com)
Karpathy on using LLMs to build knowledge bases from your own reading, papers, and notes instead of asking the model to recall from its training data. For niche research areas, the model just doesn't know enough. You feed it your corpus, and it becomes a reference you can actually interrogate. For fields like precision agriculture or remote sensing where survey coverage is thin, this is genuinely practical.
