Book

• alan-kay-reading-list
  • Description: Haven't read most of these. Building Large Knowledge-Based Systems looks intriguing. Dunno why a comment for that book stuck out to me "today the task is to build an automated ontologist, not to build the ultimate ontology."

Movie

• The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2018)
  • Description: A series of short Western stories around mortality. Perhaps I wasn't in the mood but didn't find stories gripping and this may be my least favorite Coen movie. The stories felt disjointed and the theme general enough that I wasn't interested enough to connect the dots. Having said that, great cinematography and obvious care put into movie
