@dwarkesh_sp Great recommendation on Strogatz. I’m doing a similar lectures + book + LLM deep dive with Werner Krauth’s Statistical Mechanics: Algorithms & Computations (Monte Carlo, classical + quantum—less chaos, more statistical physics, super relevant for ML/LLMs):

Talked with @patio11 on Complex Systems about what’s quietly powering the AI era. Every layer of the stack is shifting. We unpacked why the “boring” infra might set apart the next wave of generational companies. We covered agent-native infrastructure, inference platforms, and why
