#2Again?
I love this, and bought the (unfinished) book since it was 1st announced, but it's the 3rd or 4th time this is posted here.
The duplicity algorithm clearly needs improvement. Maybe this book could help.

I'm the author. Thanks for the support! And I'm glad you're enjoying the book.
The HN search results suggest that this is the second time the book has made it to the HN front page.
However, you may have picked up a different impression because the second chapter -- a largely self-contained introduction to backpropagation -- also made it once onto the front page. Given that I'm rolling out chapters as I finish them, this seems to me like multiple posts from the same blog appearing on the front page. Certainly, the individual chapters are (I hope) far more substantive than most blog posts.
(For the record, I had no idea this would be posted.)

The parent mentioned that he bought the book, but I can't seem to find anywhere on the site to contribute. I've followed this book since it was first posted on Hacker News, and I would love to be able to give back. Is there a place to donate or "buy" the book?

Great work Michael. Sorry about my errant email to you.

I ran an IndieGoGo, which is long since over. Other than the IndieGoGo I haven't given much thought to setting things up so people can contribute, that's very kind of you to offer. I'll investigate adding PayPal or some alternative when I have a little time. In the meantime, you could send me Bitcoin at: 17ukkKt1bNLAqdJ1QQv8v9Askr6vy3MzTZ It'd be much appreciated!

Chapter 3 (of six) will be released mid-July. Apart from that, I haven't set a hard finish date. Some authors are helped by such deadlines, but my experience writing my previous two books is that (for me) such deadlines hinder more than they help.

#9I find this stuff fascinating. I would love to study this formally but I only have a finance degree. What do people study to pursue this at a graduate level? Math/Comp Science?

From Hinton's course on coursera:
Recommended Background
Programming proficiency in Matlab, Octave or Python. Enough knowledge of calculus to be able to differentiate simple functions. Enough knowledge of linear algebra to understand simple equations involving vectors and matrices. Enough knowledge of probability theory to understand what a probability density is.
