News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

thanks, I should add (and I hope this is somewhat obvious) that there is a team of about 7 or 8 of us in total. A lot of work goes into site/technical/video processing etc, and then there are 2.5 of us making the assignments.

The real hero behind the assignments is Jiquan Ngiam (http://cs.stanford.edu/~jngiam/) who is in charge and does most of the work. He is awesome, brilliant, very hard working, and I thoroughly enjoy hacking with him on the ML class until late AM.

Me and my wife have been following Professor Ng's ML class and one of the highest points for us has been working through and trying to understand the programming exercices.

Our personal thanks to you and the other "1.5 people" working on that. ;)

Cheers!

Thanks for that. I suspect Prof Ng will get a lot of praise for the class but I suspect some of it is intended for the people behind the scenes (not always easy to find out who they are).

I'm super excited about this, thanks so much for taking the time, it's appreciated by those who missed the opportunity to get a CS degree.

Thanks to all you guys! The programming assignments are brilliant. All my (non-technical) friends and family I've been telling about the class think the whole thing sounds really cool.

Really great stuff. Thank you and your team for your time and efforts on this. I learned a lot already from the ML class and can't wait to take the HCI class.
