It's a nice presentation, although IMO there are better introductory talks, even on the same site.
What's funny about this one though is that over half of the comments say "she's cute" or something similar, it's a bit creepy.

- wyclif 16y agoIt's creepy because some people think she's physically attractive? I don't follow.
- MarkBook 16y agoYou never hear women described as creepy for saying "he's cute" or something similar.
- edanm 16y agoOn the other hand, you usually don't see a majority of comments on male presenters saying "he's cute".
- shadowfox 16y agoNot that I disagree with you. But HN is not sufficiently female dominated for such a thing to conceivably happen :)
- thesethings 16y agoMen's looks are brought up far less often to begin with. (By either gender.) Yesterday I was reading a highly caustic anti-BoingBoing screed. Everything about the male writer was idealogical. Almost everything about the female writer was about her looks. This is where somebody on HN might ask for "citation please." In this case, I think that would be a bit disingenuous.
- fgf 16y agoThat's because it's not creepy when girls do it. Creepy in this sense is used for unwanted attention from "unworthy" males, the female equivalent of this behaviour would usually at most be described as annoying.
- phren0logy 16y agoCan you point to some of the better introductory talks? Thanks.
- lkozma 16y agoI liked Marcus Hutter's tutorials on the same site: "Introduction to ML" and "Foundations ..." but not the "Universal AI" stuff. Then there are the Stanford ML lectures. I admit that the topic is not 100% the same though but there is overlap.
