I have also tried that book, and if you really want to skip the code snippets in it, you can. The explanations from the basics of machine learning through the more typical NN architectures (RNN, CNN etc) is probably the best one I've found. Aurelion Geuron (the author) is a fantastic teacher. He is also a great speaker, look for some of his talks on youtube.
Just as a side note it's always made me extremely sad when we demonize the shooters and terrorists. Of course what they did is terrible. But we should have sympathy with them because they are sick. Love is cheap if it only matters on Hallmark cards and corporate holidays.
For the topic of optimization, I recommend:

https://people.csail.mit.edu/jsolomon/share/book/numerical_b...

It will give you a decent introduction to optimization methods underpinning deep learning. Deep learning theory is optimization theory.

There are youtube lectures as well and Justin is a great lecturer.

I personally would not recommend the Goodfellow book. It's not a good book for newcomers, at best it's a quick reminder of how some things work on a non-rigorous level.

I wonder what ever happened to that guy. If I remember correctly he was a college student at the time and somehow managed to raise almost a million dollars to send a certified check to Pepsi to buy enough "Pepsi points" to redeem for the jet. Whatever your opinion of the lawsuit, to be able to raise that kind of cash in the 90's without the help of the internet is pretty impressive.
>Neither Heisenberg's uncertainty principle nor Bell's inequality exclude the possibility, however small, that the Universe, including all observers inhabiting it, is in principle computable by a completely deterministic computer program, as first suggested by computer pioneer Konrad Zuse in 1967 (Elektron.

Leibniz has already proposed essentially the same centuries earlier. And there have probably been people who said the same even earlier.

(Also, mentioning Konrad Zuse made me directly suspect that the author is German. He's Swiss, but close enough.)

I would read the Goodfellow book (though it is exactly as you describe). Beyond this, I would follow courses online depending on your interest, e.g.:

- Stanford's CS231n (http://cs231n.stanford.edu) for Computer Vision

- Stanford's CS224n (http://web.stanford.edu/class/cs224n/) for NLP

They both have pretty solid exercises, which includes work like implementing back-propagation from first principles.

It may not be as straight forward as you seem to think it is.

Girls are generally expected to be better behaved. This can be extremely suffocating and unhealthy.

If they are exposed to "troublemaker" boys and learn to have a little back bone and stand up for themselves (to possibly oppressive adults), it's still less socially acceptable for a girl than for a boy. So then she blames the "troublemaker" boy to cover for herself because he will get in less trouble than her and that's what the adults find plausible anyway.

It's entirely possible that even if she tried to accept the blame, the adults would interpret that as her trying to be kind to him and cover for him.

I'd rather pick a standard solution over a library. I never used CO, because I didn't see the benefits of pulling this library in over plain ol' promises. The cognitive overload of generators, yielding, thunks and changing api-s is just too much IMHO, I like simpler things that work just as well.

With the await keyword baked into the language I can simply think of "if anything returns a promise, I can wait for the response in a simple assignment".

I'm a huge fan of OpenBSD and all of their efforts but the single point that makes me most in awe of them is the effort and willingness to dogfood. That is the heart and soul and the essence of what makes FOSS powerful. Make what you want to use.

While some may argue about re-inventing the wheel, the OpenBSD team has time after time shown that their implementation of $thing is better then the original it intends to replace.

There are external GPUs now that use thunderbolt, prior to this you could run external displays at a greater resolution than was available via HDMI at the time.

Firewire was mostly not used because people were content to endure USB, and USB had a larger availability on consumer hardware. Apple gained nothing by spending money to add the port to their computers so I find it hard to buy that they had a secret malevolent purpose in doing so. In this case they rolled the dice on a superior solution and it didn’t pay off.
If their values do not align with the society they live in, then they are not offering something the society wants. I am not saying this as a judgment, but as an objective fact.

If the society is racist, that's a different matter altogether, and I already covered that case in my above comment. I do not claim that this "be a person that has something to offer" idea is a panacea to solve everything. But it does (or rather, would) solve many cases of social exclusion.

Just look at the despicable (and yes, now I am judging) "Incel" subculture in the USA. Sure, some of them might have genuine mental issues, but there is a lot of loafers and layabouts who prefer to pose as victims instead of doing something positive.

Epstein said he recollected nothing.[134][142][143][144] According to NBC News, two sources said that Epstein might have tried to hang himself, a third said the injuries were not serious and could have been staged, while a fourth source said that an assault by his cellmate had not been ruled out.[68]

> If I wanted to learn some particular framework, I would just look up the documentation for that framework.

Well, if you don't know deep learning, it is not how it works (unless it is a poor book, which only provides an introduction to some API). Still, I recommend "Deep Learning in Python" by Francois Chollet as it provides a good overview of practical deep learning. For practical applications, a book WILL use one framework or another or will be useless. If you understand overfitting, L2 or batch processing in Keras, you will be able to use in any other framework (after looking up its API).

When it comes to the mathematical background, Deep Learning Book by Ian Goodfellow et al. is a great starting point, giving a lot of overview. Though, it requires a lot of interest in maths. Convolutional networks start well after page 300.

I struggled to find something in the middle ground - showing mathematical foundations of deep learning, step by step, at the same time translating it into code. The closest example is CS231n: Convolutional Neural Networks for Visual Recognition (which is, IMHO, a masterpiece). Though, I believe that instead of using NumPy we can use PyTorch, giving a smooth transition between mathematical ideas and a practical, working code.

Not a book per se, but better than any other.

I am in the process of writing "Thinking in Tensors, Writing in PyTorch" (with an idea of showing maths, code, fundamentals or practical examples) but it is a slow process. It's a collaborative, open-source, repo - so open for collaborators and contributors. :)

It's a bit off-topic, but I wanted to comment on this:

> a simple reason: I don't think I could live without static typing

The gradual type system for Python (mypy at the moment) is actually a very good tool. It's as expressive as C# easily, despite some limitations. It fully supports generics and protocols (interfaces or traits in other languages), it allows the user to control the variance of generic arguments, it supports pretty accurate type inference (although not as powerful as OCaml), and so on. Just set up a CI where one of the build steps is running mypy and make the build crash if there's an untyped and not type-inferrable statement anywhere. This is what I've been doing for a year already and it really helps with the maintenance of the projects and with development once the codebase becomes large enough.

This may be as good a chance as any to say this: gradual type systems are here to stay. It's been more than 10 years since the original paper (J. Siek paper was written in 2006; the PLT Scheme (Racket now) guys started working on what became Typed Racket around that time too) - as usual, the industry lags behind the research significantly, but it's bound to catch up at some point. Facebook's Flow and Mypy are the first large scale industrial applications (if I remember correctly) of the theory, but I believe it won't be long before similar functionality pops up all over the place.

While there's still much to be done (like deriving run-time constructs from static type annotations and preserving at least some of the benefits of static typing when interacting with untyped code), these type systems are already powerful tools, and the fact that they are "optional" isn't really a problem for bigger projects, where it can be enforced by the build process. Currently, the lack of type annotations in external libraries poses a problem, but the number of annotated ones is bound to grow because the static type system is an incredibly helpful tool if used correctly and consequently.

So, what I want to say is the distinction between statically and dynamically typed languages will continue to blur and, at some point, will become irrelevant. Especially when you notice that many statically typed langs started to also grow features from the "other side" like marking a variable `dynamic` and allowing the user to do whatever they want with it without complaining.
