also I'm currently going on an ethics tear, and I'd love to talk to more people about how ethics apply to their field :)) (mostly been law/religion based so far in my discussions, but I'm very keen to learn more bioethics!!)
since I'm on a new network, does anyone have any textbook recs for ones that spark joy?
my personal ones are:
- Reinforcement Learning: An Introduction (Barton & Sutton)
- pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/OSTEP/
- Modern Principles of Economics (Cowen & Tabbarok)
