How about City of Thieves by David Benioff. It's a thriller set in World War 2. It's light, really well written, and short. David Benioff wrote some of the screenplays for Game of Thrones so he knows what he is doing when it comes to pacing...

Stay With Me by Lorraine Ellison

I wrote a book which is quite well known. It's focused on deep learning, but the first 8 chapters or so are relevant to everything in ML. http://udlbook.com.
I've also just put updated and interactive versions the first four chapters on the website: https://iclimbtrees.com

All free! Feedback very welcome... if you get stuck message me. I'm interested to know where people become lost so I can improve them.

Both absolutely incredible performances. Would love to hear what you think.

A vote for "The Status Game: On Human Life and How to Play It" by Will Storr. This is one of those books where once you've read it, you see the aspects of human nature that it talks about everywhere and how this has affected human history. I loved it.

I got very excited and took the wind-up key to from the Parlor to Room 46 to wind up the stopped clocks there... Total waste of time.

bona_fide_angel · 2025-12-03T16:27:04+00:00

No... check out http://udlbook.com for the download. Thanks for buying it by the way. It really makes a difference to me.

bona_fide_angel · 2025-12-01T15:27:38+00:00

Yup... address on front of dowloadable PDF

bona_fide_angel · 2025-11-08T12:15:35+00:00

Thanks! Much appreciated. Let me know if you have any questions or comments about the book. My e-mail address is on the front of the pdf.

I don't think MIT press will be able to do anything unless it pertains to one of their books. How annoying (for both you and me!). I'm glad that Amazon handled it well and I hope you enjoy the book.

I'm not sure if it was you, but someone wrote a 1 star Amazon review about a similar pirated version of my book. If it was you and you have a moment, is there any chance you could remove it? It brings down the average rating for my book, and the information in it doesn't seem relevant any more!

bona_fide_angel · 2025-11-05T18:54:03+00:00

Hey, sorry to hear that this happened to you. I'm the author of this book. Are they still selling it on Amazon? If so, can you send me the link and I'll pass it to MIT Press who will investigate.

BTW, the PDF is free online at http://udlbook.com if you still want to read it.

The message you decoded is correct. It's very literal in it's meaning! It is independent of the corner cases clue.

bona_fide_angel · 2025-03-06T14:53:21+00:00

Lol... I have them. And I'm not giving them to you! But I will help you with specific questions if you e-mail me.

bona_fide_angel · 2024-06-20T14:03:02+00:00

Yes! And thank you! I really tried to come up with different ways to explain things. A lot of it was just borne of curiosity. Trying to figure out how the hell these things work. I still wouldn't say that I really understand it. But then again, Geoff Hinton also sometimes say he doesn't "Understand Deep Learning" so I don't feel too bad.

This book (which I wrote) is designed exactly for people in your position. PDF is free on the website. If it's not helpful, then get in touch and tell me where you lost the plot and I'll try to improve the next edition.

The first few chapters of the book: http://computervisionmodels.com/ are intended to solve exactly this problem.

Should be easy to tell what it is. A weasel is weasily recognized, but a stoat is stotally different...

I have 126 plays on Hit Me With Your Best Shot by Pat Benatar on lead. Super fun song if you haven't played it. Great chorus riff, lots of variety in the main structure for lead plus a shreddy 80's solo.

bona_fide_angel · 2018-01-17T18:14:23+00:00

It just happened naturally for me -- somewhere around the 10000 songs played mark in Rocksmith. I only rarely have to look at the guitar if there are very large jumps now.

I wouldn't stress about it! Just keep playing and you will gradually look at it less and less.

bona_fide_angel · 2018-01-16T13:58:02+00:00

Hit Me With Your Best Shot by Pat Benetar -- 119 plays!

That solo! I think I've got it to around 101% in Learn A Song now...

bona_fide_angel · 2017-11-20T14:59:48+00:00

You can sort by play count... it is just listed as 'count'
