In many cases, technology is no different than those people who run conferences for "real estate advice" - the advice is incredibly simple and straightforward, but I don't get to charge you $2000 a ticket if I can explain it to you in the elevator.

Every time I try to learn machine learning, I run in to this problem. Nobody actually tells you how it works (because it's actually pretty straightforward), they want you to attend their course, or purchase their book.

If you're interested in a very practical, explain-it-clearly, no marketing type of resource for deep learning, I can highly recommend https://www.fast.ai/

I did the first version of the course, and I felt that at the end I legitimately knew enough to read current papers and see through any hype presented to me anywhere else.
