David J.C. MacKay, Machine Learning pioneer, dies
I know him from his pioneering work on sustainable energy. Actually working out from physics principles what is possible that can balance supply and demand in an ongoing way.You can read it free online - I like the print copy though! (It's for the UK, but has lots of useful referenced data for anywhere)http://www.withouthotair.com/I met him a few times in Cambridge trying to organise a campaign about Climate Change. He was passionate and fun. Sad that I never really delivered for him.Rest well David, combining a scientist's accuracy and detail with a human's care for the world.
