Can't wait to see what scummy monetization tactic brave is found to be using next.

Here's a question for any employees of brave who happen to be reading this: how did this get out the door? It's not like this is the first time the company has been found doing something that most people disagree with, and the fact that it keeps happening means that the process is still very much broken. I have not yet seen any response from brave that gives me confidence that the company has changed from when they were taking youtube donations of creations not signed up to the BAT program

It seems to follow the 4th year/masters course of the same name taught by one of the authors (Dr Marc Deisenroth) at Imperial College London: http://www.imperial.ac.uk/computing/current-students/courses...

The course requires a 1st year linear algebra course and a 2nd year statistics course, which might explain why this book doesn't cover some of the basic concepts

I can't comment much on the subject for my lack on knowledge, but that was a very well written, entertaining article that I enjoyed reading.
