The Thinking Machine & The Restless Mind
"Explorations in engineering, cognition, systems, and the anatomy of human curiosity."
The inaugural publication of Notes From a B.Tech Brain. A curated compendium examining first-principles debugging, high-dimensional vector spaces, the Lindy effect in software craft, and sensory field notes from late-night hardware labs.
