    Nice and minimalistic

    I played with similar approach in JavaScript and built a NanoNeuron https://github.com/trekhleb/nano-neuron (it is more verbose than Python though)

    I learnt a lot today from the interactive demo. You have the best clarity and right skill to educate

      Thank you, I will try to make more demo on other concepts.

    I can build a smaller brain.

    If you want to learn the fundamentals of ML I recommend a book, such as Deep Learning: Foundations and Concepts by Chris Bishop. If you insist on staying online, one option is https://course.fast.ai/

    If you don't know ML I don't think you're going to learn much through ad hoc demos.

      This book equipped me with the right intuition and tools to visualize machine learning. I wish I was smart enough to hold it all together.

        I used to have a wife, but they took her in the divorce!

        The human mind isn't very good at correlating its contents[0]. You can "know" something for years without realizing its implications.

        The human mind traverses its knowledge like a man with a small flashlight in total darkness. Our beam of attention is small and narrow, so you need to put the right things in it, or the magic doesn't happen.

        This has important implications for learning. I don't know what they are though.

        Probably something like, "you can know something without knowing what it means." You haven't connected it to the things it's supposed to be connected to yet. I don't know how to fix that though. (Something involving the Feynman technique, maybe?)

      I didn't know Bishop had released a new textbook. I will have to take a look at it. I wasn't the biggest fan of his Pattern Recognition book as I found it overly dense. I much preferred the Murphy and Alpaydin books.

      EDIT: His son is co-author?

      Checked out the book on your recommendation, and they even have a free online option on their site! Very generous: https://www.bishopbook.com/

    Okay, it’s conscious. But can it run doom? I rest my case.
