These are a smorgasbord of topics that I’m reading about or interested in! Each of these notebooks is a collection of readings, to-reads, and wild conjectures I have about the subject. For more public notebooks, check out Gwern’s and Dr. Shalizi’s.
By definition, these notebooks are not very “generous”. These are varying levels of curated, but mostly meant as a place for me to revisit my thoughts and ideas about a topic.
