I wish I'd come across this a couple of months ago! I read the SSC Surfing Uncertainty review a couple of years back, and started Surfing Uncertainty earlier this year. I found the writing in SU unneccessarily complicated, and was close to aborting it a couple of times, despite how fascinating I found the whole topic. But my biggest gripe with SU was how light it was on technical details. But maybe that's just how it is.
So thanks for writing this! While I would usually send people in the direction of the SSC review, I think now this will be another in the repertoire for introducing people to active inference/predictive processing, and the related theories.
