Oh wow, thank you for this! I have been fascinated by Information Theory for quite some while now, so I hope David McKay's book is a good introduction to it.

One of my personal favourite in Philosophy is "Finite and Infinite Games" by James P Carse. It had a profound impact on how I look at situations. I hope one of your suggestions does the same :)

Just out of curiosity, what would your "top 10" books be?

Hey I have experience with robotics (ROS1, trying to work on projects using ROS2 now) and autonomous vehicles (mainly Motion Planning & Control and decision making in uncertainties). What are you working on?

Good running shoes are very under-rated. When I started out a year ago, I didn't bother with shoes as much as I did on beating my previous run time. I noticed I couldn't sustain the routine (I had to take a rest day after 3 or 4 days of running), and very nearly gave up on the habit. Then I bought a pair of comfortable running shoes and it made all the difference in the world. I increased my mileage significantly, and I manage to run 6kms every day of the week without feeling too tired or longing for a rest day.

Wow! I've been meaning to transition to bare foot running for quite some time now. How does your running schedule look like?
