"Levandowski clearly has a gift for self driving technology and is probably one of the few people in the world who could spend a year with 20 collaborators and come up with a fully self driving product. He clearly demonstrates a deep knowledge of the autonomous driving landscape and its future.

But he’s also clearly a flawed individual who not only ran off with a bunch of company secrets from Google after taking boatloads of its money, but also he’s run afoul of regulators on numerous occasions and locations. It is going to be hard for any individuals and companies to put their drivers behind Pronto.ai with this past in mind. His “religious” beliefs may also cause some concern."

We’re continuing to make this product as good as it can be and have been laser focused on the needs of credential issuers. Now we’re ready to start focusing on credential recipients; the people who take part in learning and then receive a certificate or badge.

Hey,

Just curious is this offer for other people also? I am working on this https://github.com/deependersingla/deep_portfolio (first version open sourced) and before open-sourced this https://github.com/deependersingla/deep_trader (255 stars). I was using GTX 980-TI locally but system crashed two weeks ago. I am basically trying to find a RL agent which automatically optimize momentum strategy look_back period and generate portfolio according to optimisation one set on reward function. More can be read on project Readme. Thanks.

yeah, he started with it but didn't learn much.

I wonder how many meetings are getting cancelled because of it :).

I agree with you. I work for Education company Accredible. We use Elasticsearch hosted on AWS for employment directory based on student data. It's working perfectly for us from last one year, very happy with it.

Does Google cloud work in china?

What will be the difference between Reinforcement learning and Genetic Algorithm? The stackoverflow question here has mixed responses http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12411197/can-evolutionary.... According to me I have implemented Reinforcement learning once http://somedeepthoughtsblog.tumblr.com/post/134793589864/mat..., they look same as both boils down to exploring and exploiting the environment for maximum reward.

I feel author somehow saying just badges for crediblity is wrong, it has to be compared what we have today in university as credibility. It is just a pdf certificate and a grade point with university name. It doesn't distinguishes student very well.

With people moving towards online education there will be much better education data gathering and much better way to present them. Kevin carey pointed out this https://accredible.com/10000005 for replacement of current education certificate for data gathering about student learning and then using the data collected in better way for analyzing student performance and for employablity. P.S (I work at accredible as SE)
