To get there though we first need to load all this data into Postgres and this is what this post is about. Initial attempts at loading the data seemed slow so I wanted to investigate how to do this fast, leading me down a rabbit hole and me writing this.1

Admittedly, this one is the odd one out here, but definitely worth a final spot. Reinforcement learning (RL) is an absolutely fascinating field, which complements the kind of machine learning that the above books teach.

In case you are not familiar with it, reinforcement learning the field of AI that is concerned with autonomous agents and decision making, with the goal of learning by interacting with the real or a simulated world.

This book is the standard textbook for RL classes around the world, so definitely one of the best if you want to learn about it.
