seycombi | 7 years ago | on: How the belief in beauty has triggered a crisis in physics
Peter Woit writes regularly about this crisis on his blog "Not Even Wrong". He wrote about Sabine Hossenfelder’s new book "Lost in Math" here https://www.math.columbia.edu/~woit/wordpress/?p=10314
Feynman reminds us that "The first principle is that you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool."

For those who are unfamiliar with coursera or interested in just the videos (and NO certificate) you can enroll in "AUDIT" mode:
AUDIT MODE: http://image.ibb.co/iwm0xF/ng.png
The deep-learning course consist of 5 subcourses:

https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning-projects
https://www.coursera.org/learn/convolutional-neural-networks
https://www.coursera.org/learn/nlp-sequence-models
The deep-learning course is a different course than the prerequisite machine-learning course:

I have never seen so many (mainly) positive comments in so short a time on a youtube channel. Many thanks to Grant Sanderson aka 3Blue1Brown (and also Leibniz and Newton). Lets hope probability and multivariable calculus are next.
