You didn't ask me, but piggybacking anyway. Some of these I've been going back to for years starting back in my PhD, working through some ideas as I have time.

You didn't ask me, but piggybacking anyway. Some of these I've been going back to for years starting back in my PhD, working through some ideas as I have time. Some I have recently been learning new things from.
Approximately in that order below:
Too many stat mech books, but honestly favorite is this old one. If you want a real challenge try to read to the OG Gibbs.
Thermodynamics and an Introduction to Thermostatistics
Lectures On Phase Transitions And The Renormalization Group
Probability Theory: The Logic of Science
Information Theory, Inference and Learning Algorithms
Information, Physics, and Computation
Elements of Information Theory
Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning
The Nature of Computation
Principles of Cyber-Physical Systems
Introduction to Embedded Systems, Second Edition: A Cyber-Physical Systems Approach
Data-Driven Science and Engineering: Machine Learning, Dynamical Systems, and Control
An Invitation to Applied Category Theory: Seven Sketches in Compositionality
BTW, feel free to ask for recommendations in physics, especially stat mech, simulation/computation, condensed matter theory
- chermi 5y agoI also liked slatestarcodex a lot, but I think he has a new website now after journalism drama. He was some sort of psych professor if I recall. Just overall good, honest open reading + discussion. Sometimes political, sometimes not. I always point people to this motte and bailey article as I find it's a litmus test to see they find him too much. --https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/11/03/all-in-all-another-brick-in-the-motte/ https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/11/03/all-in-all-another-bri... If you're into science, you might like Quanta Magazine. I don't think there's any science journalism that will ever not bother me, but this one tries really hard. I happen to know that Jennifer Oullete in particular puts a lot of hard work into her articles
