What a privilege to study at that college.
- kleiba 9y agoFrom the downvotes, I suppose people thought I was being sarcastic. Quite the contrary, I was really in awe about what a cool lecture (series) this is! If you're into that kind of topic, of course, YMMV. But if you are, you will agree that this is an excellent class -- it underlines (not surprisingly) what an outstanding place to study Stanford is.
- inputcoffee 9y agoI didn't down-vote you but I suspect people reacted negatively because the implication is you have to stop learning after college. They may feel you can always learn it at any time. You can take deep learning and math courses online etc.
- exelius 9y agoAround here, he was likely downvoted by all the Stanford grads who thought he was being sarcastic. Or by the dropout hackers who make just as much as their peers without having gone to college. Who knows :)
- cgmg 9y ago> I didn't down-vote you but I suspect people reacted negatively because the implication is you have to stop learning after college. How on earth does their comment imply that?
- inputcoffee 9y agoI misread it as "to study that at college" instead of "study at that college"! I now have no idea why it was down-voted.
- cerebrum 9y agoWhy? All the material is available online.
- kleiba 9y agoDo you not think there is a difference between having access to course material online, and being able to interact with the people who teach that stuff and do research in that area?
- cerebrum 9y agoCertainly there is. However, how much interaction do you expect to get if you are one of hundreds of students? Also there are probably other people who also teach/research this. It might be more relevant if you are doing a PHD.
