Will top teams from Startup School MOOC be accepted into Summer 2017 funding cycle? Or they will have a completely independent path and own demo day not related to the main program?

What funding options, other than VC money, shall early-stage companies explore more? E.g. r&d tax credit are great in UK.

Dim25··on Googler: Google Search, Site Search, News from the terminal
Great product, thanks for sharing!

Couple small suggestions:

1. If you press "f" on the first page of search result it returns to the terminal with "[ERROR] Already at the first page." - no need to interrupt session here.

2. Consider implementing history of previous 10 queries.

Thanks

Would love to learn more, how can I get in touch with you?
Dim25··on Up to 48M Twitter accounts may be bots
Heh, personally, it feels like 80% of twitter are various "Social Media Automation Tools" following and retweeting each other.

Dim25··on Deep Forest: Towards an Alternative to Deep Neural Networks
Please note the CPUs they have used are pretty advanced: 2x Intel E5 2670 v3 CPU (24 cores) - approx. price $1.5k per unit (http://ark.intel.com/products/81709/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E5-...).

Looking forward to try the code (especially on CIFAR or ImageNet), Zhi-Hua Zhou, one of the authors, said they are going to publish it soon.

Dim25··on Is Udacity's AI Nanodegree Worth It?
I'm not looking for the job, so hard to tell. Everything depends on your unique situation, but most likely the nanodegree alone will not be enough to get a senior technical position. The good experience with algorithms is still important. Some books which I usually suggest: "Gayle Laakmann McDowell - Cracking the Coding Interview - 2016" and "The Algorithm Design Manual Second Edition 2008".
Dim25··on Is Udacity's AI Nanodegree Worth It?
I've done Udacity's ML and doing the SDC in free time.

Short answer: Yes - I would do it again.

ML (Mid 2016): Cost-wise you may be able to gather the similar quality of materials for free, nothing are too unique and in many cases additional intensive research are still required. But, the Udacity provides nice structure and helps you to keep motivated.

SDC (2016): Much better experience for students, the quality of materials are higher, and amount of support from the peer group are extraordinary. Just one of the five projects in the first term are more complex than the whole ML nanodegree.

Haven't tried the AI nanodegree myself, but because it's a part of the new batch of programs I believe the experience would be quite positive (closer to SDC).

If you will decide to proceed with self-learning path, here is a nice multi-month study plan: https://github.com/ZuzooVn/machine-learning-for-software-eng...

In any case I strongly advice to take a look into Andrew Ng's coursera courses and Andrew Karpathy's CS231n on CNN (http://cs231n.stanford.edu/) as a supportive materials.

Also, if money is the main concern, you may want to apply to sponsorship, or maybe discuss this with your current employer.

Feel free to PM me on twitter (same nick) if you have any other questions, would be glad to assist.

Dim25··on Ford is investing $1B into a self-driving car startup argo.ai
Probably the team? Tech leads:

BRYAN SALESKY, CEO - ex. Director, Hardware Development, Self-Driving Cars at Google (http://google.academia.edu/BryanSalesky)

DR. PETER RANDER, COO - ex. Engineering Lead at Uber (https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Brett_Browning/publicat...)

DR. BRETT BROWNING, VP ROBOTICS – Engineering Lead at Uber (https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=UKUngBoAAAAJ)

"$1 billion over a five year schedule" seems to be a safe bet for Ford to secure themselves from missing the SDC future.

Hopefully Ruslan will be able to publicly share the results of his research at Apple. Especially for this industry it's extremely important to keep the results of work of all top researchers open and accessible.
