Does anyone know of a similar arrangement for books or biographies?
At one point in time I tried to read one of each major category of books in the Dewey Decimal system but was stymied (need to try again using LoC), then later, wanted to read biographies in chronological order to my kids, but that was a hard list to put together.
Love the aesthetic! Also your handwriting input is super smooth, amazing!
I've been building something similar for Chinese, just for myself: https://hazel.daijin.dev/
It's got PWA, let me know if you want my presets for working with PWA with Vite.
Will definitely be taking a few pages out of your (app) when I get a chance!
An outliner would be a good way to represent this info: something like Workflowy, Org mode, Ravel or Dynalist. You get nested bullet points that you can collapse.
I am trying to solve this problem with a generalised user interface platform. The aim was to separate data storage and data representation, so that two team members could work from the same source of data and have it represented in different ways.
Collaboration at no cost to individual UX. But i never really got it to work because noone ever wanted to collaborate with me in the first place...
Sure, I have a whole pile (literally, see comment above about bookcases) of books on this topic that I have read, or will be reading. I'll compile a list and post it when I'm finished building this bookcase.
OK, here ya go. This list is, for now, just a raw dump of titles and authors. When I have some more time, I'll turn this into a proper blog post with more commentary, sorting / grouping of the titles, links to complementary resources
etc.
One bit of warning... the first half of this list includes everything "AI" related I've read (or am currently reading) for about the past two years. I say "AI" and not "AGI" because I haven't always bothered to make the distinction. So some of this stuff may not be relevant to you.
FYI, this list (especially the first half) is a heterogeneous lot that varies considerably along the "pop sci" to "academic" axis, as well as the "applied" to "theoretical" axis.
I'm also leaving off (for now anyway) most the "related, but not specifically about AI" stuff, like books on Probability, Bayesian Statistics, Graph Theory, etc., and books that are more about contemporary "Machine Learning" and "Deep Learning" topics. I do believe that there is a connection though, and that DL may play a role in building a truly intelligent system, so when I write the expanded blog post, I'll include more of that stuff.
OK, With no further ado, the "AI stuff I've read recently" list.

Below here is the stuff that is in the "to read" queue. This part tends to run more to textbooks and more academic material and less of the "pop sci" stuff. The choices on this list were inspired by other reading and research I've done, which led me to believe this group of titles includes material that will be useful. YMMV.

Eh, that's a pretty good chunk of the stuff I've got lying around here, waiting to be read. There's a handful of others, but my fingers are getting numb.
