The balls-from-the-sky sieve-style animation* showing classifications literally falling out of the decision tree is my favorite part. I haven't seen this anywhere else (yet); this visualization technique deserves more percolation (pun intended). (#1)

Not even to mention the fact that the animation is controlled by scrolling, which gives an intuitive control over play, pause, rewind, fast-forward, etc. Elegant and brilliant. (#2)

Stunningly good also in the sense that it advances the story so people don't just drool at the pretty animation and stop engaging. Thus putting the "dark arts" in the service of learning. (#3)

All three ideas warrant emulation in other contexts!

* Find it towards the bottom under the "Making predictions" heading.

Did they not have mobile responsive sites in 2015? Lol

2015 was about the last year you could get away with publishing an interactive graphic with a fixed width — this made it harder do really creative/original work.

Josh Starmers books are very visual as well, probably the best source I'd recommend to learn ML
