On the general topic of healthy eating, anti-cancer foods and general disease prevention through diet, I found the (sensationally titled) book How Not to Die[0] pretty interesting and quite motivating. Would love any other recommendations o

Thanks for the suggestion! I currently live in Tokyo, which is big enough I _should_ be able to find some writing communities, but it might be a bit challenging.

I don’t think this is a comprehensive answer, but if you want a nice summary of how climate change might be impacted by ML/DL applications, this is hot off the press: Tackling Climate Change with Machine Learning, https://ar

Great thread, thanks for sharing. I've found a lot of what you said to ring absolutely true in my own experience (only recently started publicly sharing content). I also love writing on a typewriter, it's such a great tool for f

Thanks for the thoughtful reply - I agree with a lot of your sentiments. I'm OK with forgetting content (am old enough to be at peace with that), but I do have my own mostly-maintained-with-consistent-diligence process of highlighting&

Thanks for the encouragement to write, it was entirely unexpected and pleasant - kind of a glimmer of the olde, small internet days. I didn't have this piece in mind when posting on HN, but all the book recommendations got me thinking

Just reading through comments to aggregate notes, and as the OP, yep: I meant something closer to "favorite books" but with the condition that they happen to introduce, by intention or unintentionally, a (single) "mental mode
