I'm so sad the editor chose not to publish Jaynes' C snippets because "they were too cryptic." They would've helped clarify the ideas greatly.

It's a good book, but I don't know how it's related to ML. My own answer would be "Just do it." Find an ML project you like and start tinkering around. But everyone learns differently, so maybe there's a book that can replace experience.

How is Jaynes (2003) related to ML? I guess in the same way probability theory is related to ML: it underpins just about every meaningful step forward in ML/AI research, as I see it.
