Why most of people/programmer think machine learning is just a querying on databases.

FREAKING STUPID **** EXCEL
Goddammit, spend hours and hours debugging a csv file generation... It always missed a zero.... Guess what: Excel deletes fucking shit leading zeros -_-

I had this dream, We had to destroy this super mainframe who wanted some revenge because we as a programmers made a lot of mistakes in the code.

So we had to create this amazing machine with super powers and machine learning and then to go back to the past to save the world and to find me and protect me from the same machines that we created..

At the end, I died.. because the fucking machine betrayed me.

Which books are best for machine learning?

My boss just asked me to automate the training data tagging process so that I don't have to do it manually. He's so kind.
