As someone more at home in statistics than ML/CS, it's funny that I find this easier to understand than the more 'true' cookbook style postings. The real 'grok' for me would be this kind of mathematical intuition, combined with real data examples. I always learn by just trying to recreate models in books, down to the algebra. If you can feel it and inspect it, you'll get it.
