The material handled in PAIP mostly focuses on classical symbolic AI, as opposed to the modern ML-based AI that you refer to in RNNs. (Not to discourage you from reading the book, of course!)

Seems like this is based on Google's own internal code search tooling, something most engineers at Google rely on for every day code-level work. I personally can't even begin to imagine how I'd navigate the gigantic codebase

Steve Losh's post on how to learn Common Lisp is an amazing resource. I encourage people to check it out! It happens to include many of the books mentioned in the parent post. Link: http://stevelosh.com/blog/2018&#

I personally first learned about the described technique at https://www.artofmanliness.com/articles/fall-asleep-fast/ , where the material seems to be better presented. Hope more people can benefit.
