Personal reading: Models of the Mind by Grace Lindsay

Good take on the history and current state of modern neuroscience and its interconnectedness with modern machine learning and data science.

Reading to kiddo: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling

I have a sore throat already from doing all the voices, what with all the shouting from Uncle Vernon and Hagrid in the first few chapters.

Models of the Mind by Grace Lindsay

Thanks for this. I read everything I can find in those areas that looks reasonably coherent and it's hard to find more without a bunch of fake nonsense drowning it out a lot of the time.

How old is your kid? I want to read Harry Potter but I don't know if my son is quite ready yet.

Close enough to Harry's age in the first book. Old enough that we can successfully contextualize the bad behavior depicted in the book.
