I went through the nand book too,it's amazing. What do you mean exactly by building a 6502 machine? In real hardware? You bought a 6502 and created a whole computer from other bits?

Overcoming Gravity: A Systematic Approach to Gymnastics and Bodyweight Strength
This book turned out to be infinite knowledge source about physical training and how our body works in general. At first I wasn't convinced as the author looks more like a computer geek than ultra strong gymnast - but once you read it, you get to understand what strength really is, and why size of your muscles do not convey how strong you are.
"Deep Learning for Coders" (aka Fastai) https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/deep-learning-for/97814... This book will take you from knowing nothing other than high school algenbra to knowing both practical applications and theoretical foundations and best practices for AI. If you're interested in AI and machine learning, you need this book.
Highly recommend this course (it's free) if you're interested in machine/deep learning as a "regular" programmer. My knowledge of linear algebra and calculus is pretty elementary, but I was able to follow with it easily and the way it developed took me from building simple, straightforward CV models to writing a lot of Pytorch utilities from scratch. If nothing else it will deepen your understanding of modern deep le…
