so painfully true =(


Thanks, I agree that lawyers can quickly escalate the situation. His email to me was already pretty hostile, but I am trying to keep it cool unless there is no alternative.


It's not, I deployed everything live, and he has access to everything.


I can't find any list of prerequisites for this class, though their FAQ https://www.ai-class.com/registration/faq implies that there are some. Does anyone know if this class is noob friendly? (as in someone with no CS or programming background)


Doubt it's going to be too hard but maybe not noob friendly. The "basic" level of the class at least should be accessible for the most part. It will cover some probability theory in the beginning so if you have a grasp of that already but forgot it this will help. It looks like machine learning is going to be a larger focus than in the AI class I took so you will need to know linear algebra as well.

Here: http://robots.stanford.edu/cs221/ is the outline with the prereqs and the schedule of topics.


Here are some suggestions of preparatory material:

Thanks, my team is going to try out project turf for its 2 week trial, and then re-evaluate. so far so good (all I did was add tasks, but basecamp failed that test...)


When I saw the domain name, I thought it would be about bughouse. Great app nonetheless!


It's a nifty experience when you're browsing the web and come across a blog that uses the same exact wordpress template that you do... (http://allanchao.com/blog/)


Unrelated to autocorrection, but my little rant. If I type fast Google instant only catches the first half of what I type. I don't know what kind of javascript runs instant but it fails for fast typers. Happens on different computers and different browsers. =(


This is not directly related to your programming concern, but you might find the article useful. Paul Graham's Why to Not Not Start a Startup: http://paulgraham.com/notnot.html


Thanks @allanchao! Another resource for me to read.


No comment on the contents of the article, but (1) inaccurate article title (see below) and (2) incredible hard-to-read web design.

"I realize I might take some heat for lumping women, children and the mentally handicapped in the same group. So I want to be perfectly clear. I’m not saying women are similar to either group."
