half the chapters are empty...
maybe we teach the machines to write them
If you have time to read this material and play / work with this, you're so lucky.
Make time.
is making time something that's covered in the material?
Ah HN downvoting at its finest. There is never time for anything. You don't HAVE time, you MAKE time. If you can't make time for it, you wouldn't do it if you had all the spare time in the world.
Exactly. It's like losing weight. "I can't exercise" "I don't have time to cook."

I lost 40 pounds last year eating chips and energy bars every day and working 70 hours/week.

You find a way.

Not necessarily the best way.

But you find a way :)

If you really wanted to do it you would find a way.
Here's a good book on convolutional neural networks: http://www.deeplearningbook.org/ It's suppose to be like the bible on deep learning at the moment but like most cutting edge stuff -- you're going to have to put a lot of effort into thinking for yourself and reading a lot of papers to make any new progress.
The link to "purchasing a ($55) print copy" actually links back to the same page.
I'll hold off until machine learning learned itself a course in machine learning to teach me machine learning to a level i can give courses in machine learning to machines that give machine learning courses, some how that sounds more appealing :)
Congratulations, you have passed the turing test.

Very nice work. If the eBook is reasonably priced when the book is done, I will buy a copy to support the author. I have read, or at least skimmed through, many ML books, and it is interesting to see how different authors think about and organize the material, and different perspectives help. I make the same comment on the ML and data science classes I have taken online: I like to get different perspectives on the same material from different teachers.
