This is so good. A really engaging explanation of mathematical concepts that underpin deep learning networks (so far we've covered embedding, gradient descent, probability, k-nearest neighbours algorithms and more).

Ananthaswamy is really great at conveying how these ideas work through text, with only occasional formulas, it's honestly a masterclass in science communication.

This is cool. I've taken a big break from this, reading mostly non-fiction textbooky stuff recently, none of which I have finished entirely or been fully confident I would finish, so I haven't been tracking them here.

I've picked this up again though, and I'm still really enjoying the adventures of Carl and Princess Donut, although this level of the dungeon definitely hasn't been my favourite. Its good though.

Probably not going to finish this one tbh. I always liked John Gary's stuff, but this one's focus on Hobbes' Leviathan Was giving me too many flashbacks to my undergraduate days.

It's totally good and very interesting, I just have a bunch of other stuff to read that feels more urgent.
