I’d have saved thirty bucks purchasing my recently-acquired Hogue Deka here, instead of from Hogue.  Ah, well.

Still working on the MIT Open Learning Library course 6.036, introduction to Machine Learning, a 13 week course I started back on Labor Day weekend. Currently on week 6. Just not up to multidimensional vector and matrix calculus most evenings. 

In one lecture, the professor says "We'll stick with the cartoon version [of calculus]"

I can just see Wiley E. Coyote trying to use that to capture Road Runner.

The network tried for a forward pass, with the error on the sidelines passing back.
