Tim Allan Wheeler writes Tim Wheeler, a personal blog at timallanwheeler.com about ai and programming. Since 2021, 4 different Hacker News readers have linked it 8 times, most often “Hierarchical Temporal Memory or the 1000 Brains Theory”. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-07-05, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link his post on Algorithms for Decision Making, pointing out that the book's authors are Stanford aeronautics researchers and that the text draws on control theory.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
This is neat - specifically because what you point out is actually true. The primary author is a professor and the secondary author is a Phd graduate - both in the Stanford Aeronautics and Astronautic Department [1][2] - in the Dynamics and Control Group. A brief skim through of the book shows many references to Control Theory texts. [1] https://mykel.kochenderfer.com [2] http://timallanwheeler.com/aboutme/cv/Wheele…

HN discussionAn HTM layer is one feedforward layer in a Heirarchical Temporal Memory network. See for example https://arxiv.org/abs/1511.00083 which trains one-layer HTM models. See for example https://timallanwheeler.com/blog/2022/01/09/hierarchical-tem... for a more approachable blog post about the same topic
