Is this riffing on Strunk and Whites: The Elements of Style?
Often referred to as "The Little Book".
- tejtm 3mo agoThe Little Schemer, The Little Typer, The Little Reasoner, The Little Proover The Little MLer ... It has been going on for a while in Lispy land

- leoc 3mo agoMost likely not: “The Little Book of …” has been a publisher’s standby since the nineteenth century (at least).
- AlexB138 3mo agoThere are several "Libellus de Miraculis" (Little Book of Miracles) of different saints from the 12th century!
- relyks 3mo agoI'm assuming it's more in line with The Little Schemer series of books (https://felleisen.org/matthias/BTLS-index.html https://felleisen.org/matthias/BTLS-index.html) or maybe the little book of deep learning (https://fleuret.org/francois/lbdl.html https://fleuret.org/francois/lbdl.html)?
- barrenko 3mo agoProobably the later.
- fxwin 3mo agodefinitely the latter, it is even referenced in the foreword: > Its goal is not to be exhaustive, but rather minimalist and easy to read. For this reason, it follows the format of The Little Book of Deep Learning [Fleuret 2023]. Its tone, however, is closer to that of a blog post, as the book is built around a single narrative thread. Its structure broadly follows that of Sutton and Barto’s Reinforcement Learning: An Introduction [Sutton et al. 2018], which remains the canonical reference on the subject.
- Exoristos 3mo agoNo, it's _obviously_ homage to the Little Liddel[0]. 0. https://archive.org/details/lexiconabridgedf00liddrich https://archive.org/details/lexiconabridgedf00liddrich
- sublinear 3mo agoMy mind immediately went to the "Li'l Bastard General Mischief Kit" from The Simpsons. https://imgur.com/zMTEE https://imgur.com/zMTEE
- rcyeh 3mo agoI thought the title was an homage to François Fleuret's Little Book of Deep Learning. https://fleuret.org/francois/lbdl.html https://fleuret.org/francois/lbdl.html
