Fireship: 'I Read Every Major CS Paper of the Last 100 Years'

Fireship walks through roughly 10 foundational papers — Turing's 1936 'On Computable Numbers,' Shannon's 1948 information theory, the 1958 Perceptron, Lamport's 1978 'Time, Clocks, and the Ordering of Events,' through 'Attention Is All You Need' (2017) and 'Language Models are Few-Shot Learners' (2020). It's an evergreen primer connecting today's LLM stack to its lineage. Low news value but a solid grounding reference for builders who skipped the theory.
