The only machine learning you lot are doing is learning how to work the fryer at McDonalds.

Programming Collective Intelligence: Building Smart Web 2.0 Applications: Amazon.co.uk: Toby Segaran: Books
I'm not that interested in the pure programming angle, so its not for me.
There's an equivalent book for R which sadly doesn't seem as good.
This one looks good thinks its also online

You get to learn octave. Haven't seen many jobs requiring octave. But I think the course will teach the principles which you could then apply in another language such as python

What would be an acceptable price tag for you to do that HF job?
No amount of money would induce me to take that, especially when I can earn more working from home in a specialised, relatively stress free niche.

Originally posted by aussielong View PostSuppose you have a normal pack of playing cards.
As usual the pack is shuffled before the games starts.
Split the pack in half.
Identify the first card in the first half of the pack, leaving 25 cards covered.
Split the other half of the pack, with 26 cards in it.
At the second card in the second half of the 26, turn it face up.
Count how many cards from this card to the first picture card.
Unless you play for a long long time you will always have an answer less than 5.
Now tell me why that is the case?
That is a nice statistical brain teaser that most people cannot fathom.
