Ask HN: What is HN reading?

5 pointsby startupflixabout 7 years ago
Interested in seeing what others are reading. My pick for now:<p>A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens ( https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;A_Tale_of_Two_Cities )

At any given time, I have about 20-30 books tagged as &quot;currently reading&quot; on Goodreads[0]. So, something I&#x27;ve started, read at least a bit of and then stuck a bookmark in.<p>Realistically, at any given time there are 3 or 4 books that I&#x27;m dedicating meaningful cycles to and expect to finish &quot;soon&#x27;ish&quot;.<p>Right now the ones I&#x27;m seriously working on are:<p><i>Superintelligence</i> - I&#x27;ve heard so much about this book and keep hearing people talk about the dangers of AI, and while I already have an opinion on the subject, I thought it would be interesting to read what Bostrom had to say.<p><i>Abductive Inference Models for Diagnostic Problem-Solving</i> - an older book on an approach to automated Abductive Inference called &quot;Parsimonious Covering Theory&quot;. I&#x27;m not just &quot;reading&quot; the book, as in reading it straight through like a novel, I&#x27;m actually working on re-implementing PCT using a more modern software stack, with a goal of doing some research into possible ways to use abductive inference in conjunction with other techniques (neural networks, reinforcement learning, graph-based knowledge-representation, etc.)<p><i>Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach</i> - such a class in the field, I felt like it was time to finally sit down and the read the whole book, cover to cover.<p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.goodreads.com&#x2F;user&#x2F;show&#x2F;33942804-phillip-rhodes" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.goodreads.com&#x2F;user&#x2F;show&#x2F;33942804-phillip-rhodes</a>

Currently <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;caml.inria.fr&#x2F;pub&#x2F;old_caml_site&#x2F;FAQ&#x2F;FAQ_DEBUTANT-eng.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;caml.inria.fr&#x2F;pub&#x2F;old_caml_site&#x2F;FAQ&#x2F;FAQ_DEBUTANT-eng...</a><p>I just finished Sphere, and came away a bit disappointed. Before that I read I Am Legend, which was excellent! It has nothing to do with the movie at all.

Even though it&#x27;s been out for a while, I finally read &quot;The E-Myth Revisited.&quot; The concepts are simple and it gets a little long in the final quarter of the book, but in general it is a fantastic book that every entrepreneur should read at least once.
