As someone who's interested (but not remotely capable yet) in this sort of thing, I think it would have been nice to see some more detail as to how the system worked - this seemed more of an executive summary to me rather than giving any significant technical details; is this true or is it my lack of knowledge showing?

Nah, you're right. It'd be cool to have a codecademy-type course on getting a project like this up and running. I'd sign up for $10 or so.

To me this level of detail is perfect - but I do have some prior knowledge on the subject. I think it is difficult to put such a project in writing in more detail because many choices (framework, NN architecture, data cleanup procedures...) make sense only with data which probably can't be shared. So I think author did a great job selecting those pieces of information which are relevant to general public. Btw, there are courses, tutorials and challenges online if you ever wish to learn more... It is fairly easy to get good info, but it takes time to grasp concepts. It is fun though and enables you to solve a whole new class of programming challenges. :)

    Well, I myself actually usually prefer text to video, so I just search for tutorials and read the ones that I feel I understand... So I can't really recommend any classes (but if you see Karpathy listed as author then it's probably good :)). Do check out Kaggle - there is nothing better than playing with the best and learning from them.
