minus-squareslowmovingtarget@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoPersonal reading: Models of the Mind by Grace Lindsay Good take on the history and current state of modern neuroscience and its interconnectedness with modern machine learning and data science. Reading to kiddo: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling I have a sore throat already from doing all the voices, what with all the shouting from Uncle Vernon and Hagrid in the first few chapters.

I read everything I can find in those areas that looks reasonably coherent and it’s hard to find more without a bunch of fake nonsense drowning it out a lot of the time.
