Announcing that he updated his course certainly gained more attention than saying it will be available in June<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31204055" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31204055</a><p>I certainly was excited when I saw this headline. Thought maybe it was early
Though I had almost zero ways I would actually use the learning from this course (and indeed really never did any ML after and have probably forgotten it all) it was still a really fun brain exercise to revisit some math and then see how ML thinking worked! I have recommended it quite a few times.
I finished machine-learning[1] long time ago and it's so good. Look forward to this [2].<p>[1] <a href="https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning/" rel="nofollow">https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning/</a>

I took this when it was mlcourse along with the aicourse by Peter Norvig. I was in research at the time. They were entertaining, but certainly mainly an intellectual curiosity for both academics and practitioners. Nowadays
Practitioners would most likely use an ML library.
I'll say that that waitlist registration form is very sketchy. Agreeing to receive marketing updates is <i>required</i> to join a waitlist for a course? Classy move.
Is the registration broken? I am getting errors to "Please complete this required field" on two fields that I cannot see (or fish out of the div soup that is this signup page.)
