In light of the LLM break throughs in the last couple of years, I've been returning his speculative essay about the source of symbolic thought every few months: https://nautil.us/the-kekul-problem-236574/
Since arikfr is on this thread – thank you so much for Redash. Our internal instance is at query ID 8500+ and everyone on the team relies on it for querying and alerting. Can't wait to see what happens with the resources to take on some of your more ambitious ideas!
We (Brilliant) do have an introductory course on quantum mechanics as well. It goes into more of the phenomena (like spin, photons, etc.) than this computing course that mostly focuses on information. Let us know what you think: https://brilliant.org/courses/quantum-objects/
If Brilliant isn't your cup of tea – check out mcintyre's spin-first treatment. Generally speaking avoid any textbooks with cats on the cover (ie. Griffith's is popular but only so-so IMO). That being said, we went with a cat on our course ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
Honestly, it only gets richer in the context of this comment from Kahneman. The core of the book (parts III and IV) don't rely on priming or other small N studies.
Perhaps for HN audience our blog posts about building this would be more interesting: https://blog.brilliant.org/a-world-class-tutor-in-every-home... and https://blog.brilliant.org/when-almost-right-is-catastrophic....
Happy to answer any questions or absorb any justified skepticism :)
