computers and mathematics

• dive into deep learning, great machine learning book that teaches the fundamentals with just the right amount of both math and code.
• mit open courseware, taught me proof based calculus I-III and linear algebra (thank you, gilbert strang).
• think bayes 2, example based explanations of bayesian statistics that finally sparked the epiphany going from bayes' theorem in probability to bayesian statistics.
• statquest's #66DaysOfData, intuitive illustrations of statistical analysis with examples from genetics (brought to you by the friendly folks of the genetics department at UNC chapel hill!)
• ritvikmath, great intuitions and solid math on statistical concepts like sampling from a distribution and markov chain monte carlo techniques.
• stanford lecture series on deep generative models
• introduction to variational autoencoders kingma and welling's expanded work on vaes with all derivations and excellent explanations.
• paul hand's channel and specifically his lecture series on special topics in deep learning.
• deep learning by bishop and bishop, dense encyclopedia on deep learning, excellent for recaps.
• talktorials by the volkamer lab
• introduction to computer systems, solid ground up explanations.
• differential equations lectures, from a prof in clemson, nice intuitions, solid explanations.
• erik bekkers' youtube channel, with a whole bunch of excellent lectures on geometric deep learning.
• uva's deep learning (but actually just geometric deep learning) tutorials

blogs and shorties

• the bitter lesson, does inductive bias matter at scale?
• deep implicit layers, unifying formalism for neural odes, invertible residual networks, and more.
• everything is bayesian, a half joke take on why everything the light touches is bayesian.
• cities and ambition, which resonates stronger the more cities i visit.
• an ode to egg sandwich, from a guy that no longer eats eggs.

things without a home

• campbell biology, biology is cooler as an adult.
• logical chess move by move, my first chess book, playing out the games on my floor opened my eyes to how pretty positional play can be.
• how to reassess your chess, the workbook with positional puzzles is a blast to think about.
• wikipedia, for rabbit holes.
• knit your first sweater tutorial, surprisingly hard to find in depth tutorials for getting into knitting, but this one's excellent.
