Started my machine learning course this week. It will be interesting to see what the reality is compared to the hype.

As of right now, I'm feeling that ML is what we do when we don't really care about understanding the situation - prediction is the only value. That feels sad to me, as an ex-physicist I want to know *why* an association matters. Linear regession was a ton of fun for exactly that reason - we'll see if ML can win me over :)
