I got an email a week ago that said I'd be emailed again for relevant updates, but haven't been.
You can go to the site and sign in right now. Assuming the site behaves properly at the moment.
Cool, I was able to listen to the lectures yesterday evening and do the lecture quizzes. Perfect scores so far!
I wish they had transcribed versions of these lectures, they would go a lot quicker. Maybe I'll do it myself if I have time.
I use MySpeed to speed up online lectures. I'm finding the lectures quite easy to follow at twice the original speed.
Tried it out, good stuff! Norvig speaks slower than I'm comfortable with. The transitions between videos and questions is a bit flaky though, and MySpeed might have something to do with it.
At just 150%, I found Andrew Ng (Machine Learning) somewhat hard to understand without guessing based on context. Does this software do a better job than the web player for the lectures?
I just tried, and the software player does seem to do a better job than the web player. It certainly sounds different. I don't have much trouble following Ng at 150% on the web player either, however, so it's hard for me to make a useful comparison.
I should say, though, that the machine learning videos don't seem to be loading fast enough on my connection for smooth sped-up streaming using the software. This makes the software pretty useless unless you pre-load the videos or are willing to put up with the frustration of intermittent buffering. I don't have this problem with the AI videos (or youtube videos in general).
Neat, that looks like a great time-saver!
