Link list

Foreword

This link list and layout was originally inspired by a website called sizeof.cat. This website was somewhat of an inspiration here and the author of that site expressed that this list could be spread and used.

Another list of note which I will cannabalise on in the future is found at tinfoil-hat

I intend to add greatly to this list and modify things in various ways but their layout was very comprehensive and their values seem to align with this fledgling site also. I'm happy to refer people on there.

 

If anybody has any suggestions or wishes to add a new site or discuss their own please feel free to make an article on this topic and I will be happy to add those links to this selection also.

This is particularly relevant for machine learning and AI links which I aim to add extensively to also.
