I bought a set of Machine Learning Flash Cards from Chris Albon. A very much worth piece of art and knowledge!

This very simple script will print out the name of a random card every time you run it for you to study.

How

1. Buy the cards, support Chris
2. Unzip the cards and go to the png_web directory
3. Copy this script there
4. python select_random_card.py
