Homeworks? Lack of a sign-up link? Interesting that they have grammatical errors on this page considering their goal here (to compete with other top universities doing the same thing)
- kliao 15y agowho says they are trying to compete with other universities? the goal here is to provide quality education accessible to everyone. it also looks like the webpage was created by the professor himself (http://work.caltech.edu/ http://work.caltech.edu/ is his personal page) and may not be completely ready yet.
- sev 15y agoSo, they have no interest in being the best at what they do? I would hope not. And yes, details make a difference.
- crusso 15y agoThe whole site (including the content and graphics) was generated with three lines of very clever LISP as a proof of ML concepts. Small mistakes are forgivable. ;)
- LiveTheDream 15y agoCan you expand on this? That sounds interesting, but I don't see any mention of it on the site.
- archgoon 15y agoSadly, it was a joke. (Or very long lines of lisp).
- LiveTheDream 15y agoOh. Well, now this seems like a good hackathon project: given a topic and a theme, auto-generate a website.

- redslazer 15y agoThere is a whole subsection of the internet dedicated to exactly that. Mini-sites are generated either using wordpress or other scripts get content from all over the internet, spin it and then put it up on a domain with a standard template and stick adsense advertisements on the side. Makes pretty good money if you have a large enough network and do some SEO.
- gwern 15y ago'tis a joke.
