Yeah, I eventually stumbled in that page. It at least explains what they are doing, just about, but its very vague still.
--edit--
"In this course we don't just show how to create "OK" models. We show how to create state of the art models,"
Right, so its a course to teach mathematical moddeling.
So it looks like two people in San Franciscoi met. She is a moddeler, he is an 'entrepreneur' and 'educator', and thought 'hmm, if I take all that she knows I can dress it up as 'Deep Learming' and 'Machine Service Assisted blah blash blah' and foist it on people. 
--edit--
I mean look. I dont mean to be disparaging, and I am all for learning usefull stuff, but to have something like this aimed at coders, and to be so vague, and then to be, quite frankly, of limited application (I know some of us work with models, they tend to be mathematician types, and probably know alot about moddeling anyway) was a dissapointment.
It just didnt grab me the way it seemd to grab you.
Sorry.

Be assured that those of us with brains agree with you, Marc.
The site as it stands has the potential to draw people in, get them interested, and put them on good roads to learn what they need to work on AI.
I've worked quite a bit in the AI field, and getting people to learn to walk in it is not as easy as it sounds. The site is a good starting point, and I will be sending people to it.

Daily plank meeting – William Liu – Medium
Next up, Agile smoothies..
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

Do not know how with others, but we used to walk on the floor of the meeting room... No way I lay down on that dirt!
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Since when are daily plank meetings[^] something new?
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"No, from Canada."

He probably got inspiration from the fact that everyone says he's as thick as two short planks.

The general problem with Agile is that it is more focused on getting to the next base than on scoring.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Agile sucks - luckily it's now heading into it's death throes
but plank meetings ... a really good idea,
I've almost fallen off my seat in too many meetings,
maybe I'll forward this to health & safety.
... then again it's harder to drink coffee when lying down, and that really helps me sleep.
Sin tack
the any key okay

All it needs is some back-lit coloured panels and a few buttons that just go beep, and I'll be well on my way to building myself the bridge of the Enterprise!

You're supposed to be standing in the stand-ups (although we do have one or two people in our team who sit down at the stand-ups).
Can you still call it a stand-up if you're doing a hand-stand? I've just had a great idea for the next fad..

The stupidest thing is I saw this yesterday on LinkedIn when there were literally thousands of people commenting on what a great idea this is.. probably managers/coaches/HR types, so expect this in your office soon!

daily status update:
"I accomplished nothing during the 7 hours after our lie down yesterday because I was too consumed thinking 'Holy elephant my back elephanting hurts' to concentrate on anything else. There were minor glimmers of recovery this morning, but the first part of this cluster elephant has already resulted in a >200% regression from the starting situation. I predict the only thing I'll do during the next 24 hours is to fill out a disability application from home." 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
