🧠 Thoughts

I’ve been waiting for a book to come along that merges computational models with human psychology.

I’ve always done the things mentioned in the book intuitively, without even realizing, but making a framework out of it would’ve been challenging and time consuming (since a lot of math is involved, which the authors have already done for me).
