Many software engineers will never truly appreciate modern machine learning. Gotta love math as a teen, otherwise I wish you good luck!

But what does "true appreciation" of ML mean to you? I'm not sure why anyone (SW engineer or not) couldn't transition/learn later in life.

Some hidden beauty in there? That only comes apparent when you've soaked up math for a few years? (Doesn't apply to me fwiw)

Perhaps. Though, famously, Hinton is not an expert "mathematician" and draws his insights and intuition from elsewhere.
