Really Quick Questions with Sebastian Thrun

[@SuperHtownswag]

wow the tech community really struck gold with siraj, it's rare to have tech geeks who have above average social skills and can teach very complex subjects with ease

[@SirajRaval]

thanks Chris!

[@RenjiB]

Sebastian Thrun is awesome! He changed my life! He was my professor Summer 2015 in Georgia Tech's Master's in CS program for the "AI for Robotics" course, which first got me into self-driving cars. I'm so grateful for all of the work he has done in the self-driving car space! Now I'm currently enrolled in Udacity's Self-Driving Car Nanodegree Program. He has changed our world forever! :)

[@SirajRaval]

Nice! Hes a boss

[@lakshay3894]

Steps to being an awesome computer scientist : #1 Your favourite movie must be the matrix.

[@SirajRaval]

LOL. but also code like crazy on project that excite the F outta you

[@Dan-tf9kb]

This channel deserves a million subscribers

[@SirajRaval]

Thanks Dan. That's the plan.

[@iancarrasco5430]

The walking backwards is kind of awkward. But great video otherwise

[@blingzing8765]

Ian C I think the interview should be more of a carpool style...

[@LFish]

Ian C Obviously, Siraj blackmailed him with knife while interviewing which made this guy move backwards.

[@rajscuba]

Ian C I totally agree im more worried when he gonna fall than what he gonna say

[@amenicHD]

I like the walking :) Gives something special to the interview series.

[@WilliamMahmood]

I liked the fact that the scene was changing.

[@philwilson1445]

What a humble guy Sebastian is.

[@SirajRaval]

tru

[@andyroider97]

2:31 Oh! The boss is coming. pretends to work :D

[@SirajRaval]

LOL nice catch

[@BodawalaPratik]

Nah, Bro. His line is coming up, so, he get to position and recite the line.

[@carlodavid7360]

hahaha

[@RicardoLudeke]

Your Really Quick Questions series is awesome! Walking backwards is much better than seeing the back of the person's head... Please do more of these! I got something useful out of each video so far

[@daniellin2048]

Siraj is not just another ordinary KZbinr. Love these interviews with top computer scientists. Lots of inspiration. Thanks to Siraj

[@SirajRaval]

Thanks Yiming!

Love this series. Keep 'em coming, Siraj!

[@SirajRaval]

Thanks Sean! will do

[@sjamthe]

Good work Siraj and congrats on your new course on deep learning.

[@hrishikeshwaikar251]

Two great teachers of ml ! I have been learning from Sebastian Thurn in the Machine Learning Nano degree and Siraj on KZbin ! And never thought these two will meet.

[@SirajRaval]

thanks! it was fun

[@zoecarlibur]

Americans are so super social. For the shy or reserved person, fitting in would be tough.

[@SirajRaval]

there are pockets of shy tho its gucci come on over

[@KrishnaChaitanya]

1:54 That sure looks like fear to me.

[@SirajRaval]

lol

[@malharjajoo7393]

Silly

[@quicksilver1752]

Haha, I was thinking the same thing

[@swapnilharpale7244]

Siraj... you are amazing.

[@emrahyigit]

Very kind person! Great video!

[@SirajRaval]

thx

[@adityagaykar]

Thank you for this video, need more of these!

[@SirajRaval]

[@sonofdarvin]

'I would force every kid in America to learn about others so that they know there are things other than America', This thought could have ended so many wars!

[@SirajRaval]

so true

[@effy1219]

I love this series!goooooood job!!

[@avishekmukherjee7909]

Udacity is better than most resources! Nobody teaches this that better.

[@SunoSunoDuniyaKeLogo]

Great initiative Siraj. not everyone can get into mit or Stanford.

[@peterwalkington1412]

Wow, he seemed super nice and down to Earth. I'd love for you to ask more Machine learning and advice questions like why he thinks he managed to be so successful

[@SirajRaval]

i know right. good points thx

[@svsanketverma5]

Nice one Siraj. I guess I should finish my Matrix Marathon. :p

[@SirajRaval]

thanks Sanket!

[@Stravant99]

[@DJT.on.Ethereum]

Some of the first programs I wrote were on a Ti-83 Plus. It's nice to have something in common!

[@SirajRaval]

dope

[@chaunceya648]

The way the camera followed in on him in the beginning makes me feel like he's being cornered XD

[@SirajRaval]

LOL ya

[@okedokie]

Achievement Unlocked - walking backwards through whole video

[@bendhimanish]

Firstly it is a good interview ... the best advice for Sebastian would be .. don’t walk backwards

[@larryteslaspacexboringlawr739]

thank you for sebastian thrun video

[@SirajRaval]

anytime

[@waxwingvain]

we want more! we want more!!!!

[@SirajRaval]

[@adityakamireddypalli3453]

Dude, brilliant content. This stuff is the bee's knees man. What was the question at 5:38 btw?

[@SirajRaval]

thanks Aditya! is the singularity near?

[@pcortezj]

After Sebastian says he's fearless he ironically proceeds to bang foot and gets startled lol

[@nands4410]

1:52 we all knew what was going to happen 😂

[@SirajRaval]

lol

[@marcograziano7308]

He does not strike me as an authentic person.

[@SirajRaval]

lol nah hes cool

[@johnhammer8668]

He is much friendlier.

[@diegoantoniorosariopalomin4977]

Siraj , what do you recommend , doing the audacity course now ( is it still discounted? ) and then following your videos or vice versa also , video games on a pocket calculator , where do I have heard that before ....

[@SirajRaval]

Udacity course if its still open

[@abdullahsaleh5968]

1:47 "I have no fear" *gets startled a second after lmao

[@nands4410]

Whats Your Spirit Animal? Pokemon Lmao

[@SirajRaval]

haha he was so caught off guard

[@VijayakumarRamdoss]

amazing job

[@SirajRaval]

thanks

[@TimBorny]

Nice! Shame Sebastian's too deep in the matrix to recognize a little deja vu.

[@SirajRaval]

thanks lol

[@alexvonbergtrillbyfedorajo3135]

what a nice guy

[@ItamarMaran]

great job!

[@SirajRaval]

thanks!

[@forzahaarlem023]

Great one! When could we see a Udacity IPO might be missing, always wanted to ask this :)

[@SirajRaval]

thanks Martijn! good thought

[@rodrigoloza4263]

Siraj let the man walk in peace.

[@SirajRaval]

LOL......this was pretty awkward. only had one take to do this since he was super busy. i will make less awk one in the future

[@cu7695]

Emacs, Matrix .... I'm not surprised at all

[@alxleiva]

The Matrix again!!!

[@SirajRaval]

again!!!!

[@bagok701]

i didn't see the microphone on the add on questions what was your setup Siraj?

[@Schmuck]

Just out of curiosity, will the self driving car nanodegree videos be available for free without a degree? I'm interested in learning and the content, but without getting a degree.

[@SirajRaval]

hmm i think those are paid but i dont make those

[@Erilyth]

What's your spirit animal - Pokemon :D, so true haha

[@SirajRaval]

lol ya

[@FutureWei]

That's a real cool idea of you

[@SirajRaval]

thx

[@bosepukur]

loved it

[@SirajRaval]

thanks!

[@0ManishSharma0]

Hey Siraj, do AMA with more people too.

[@SirajRaval]

will do

[@friedmanym]

great job! stop walking:)

[@SirajRaval]

LOL thx will do

[@SirajRaval]

in an awkward way* i will still walk in general tho

[@friedmanym]

Siraj Raval ROFL

[@friedmanym]

Relevant: twitter.com/MikeBigby/status/772024890975195137?s=09

[@riceisnice99]

But I think the walking is good. Sitting in place is boring and I think people would actually answer differently if they didn't have the blood flowing to their brains from walking.

[@omertepe8201]

nice job

[@SirajRaval]

thx

[@0ManishSharma0]

Walking backward and recalling the early days for the answer.

[@SirajRaval]

yup

[@vamshikrishna7800]

Hey Siraj! how can we detect humans or objects and seperate them from the background. can you show me the content to refer to make this happen or if possible can you make a video regarding this? im trying to implement this into an app. thanks in advance bro

[@sohaibarif2835]

Vamshi Krishna you should look up image segmentation. Video on it would be helpful, however.

[@vamshikrishna7800]

Thanks for the suggestion! :D im mainly thinking on how to implement it into an app

[@joelschulz-andres6651]

Hello Vamshi, is the camera stationary?

[@vamshikrishna7800]

Yes most of the times, and may i ask how will this affect the project? im sorry im new to this. Thanks in advance :D

[@joelschulz-andres6651]

Vamshi Krishna A stationary camera would help to detect moving humans as you could simply subtract two consecutive images. As there are a lot of labeled datasets containing humans on the web the way to go would probably be to train a deep neural net. Either way, you would still need image segmentation and feature descriptors. But this is not a trivial task.

[@citiblocsMaster]

What's up with the walking backwards?

[@vdoundakov]

Great video, but the tour of Udacity? could be been much less awkward if it was forward walking instead of backwards. Poor Sebastian...

[@SirajRaval]

so true lol

[@haach76]

great job but please don't make your guests walk backwards! he almost fell and I was nervous the whole time that he would fall again. it adds nothing to the interview, this isn't vanity Fair! please next time don't inconvenience your guests for added effect (which only distracts from the interview). great interview though and keep up the good work! I'm a big fan of yours.

[@fischX]

haach76 yes, I love the series - but it has such a awkward feel on the technical side.

[@SirajRaval]

yes true right this was akward AF but next time will be better thanks

[@srikanthshankar8871]

what is so special about number 67.

[@LyuboslavPetrov]

why the back walk? he is ze superstar - we like him going towards questions :)

[@SanghoBose5]

They all love Matrix :)

[@raffan1]

The real life Scientist from the Coldplay song.

[@SirajRaval]

ya lol

[@joegarza2979]

hi. siraj very nice ,

[@SirajRaval]

thanks

[@LauriusT]

Udacity is more expensive than getting a degree from normal university in my country :D

[@SirajRaval]

o shit lol

[@dexterdev]

+1 to him for the love for fish

[@aryankashyap1552]

Why is the production code in C++ ?? any reasons

[@yashbheda3335]

what's with techies and matrix !?

[@joshsmit779]

Why not have them walk forward while you walk backward?

[@tuber324]

Why is he walking backwards? It looks like he's about to fall over.

[@SirajRaval]

lol was awk

[@lucasabbade2009]

So everybody in google love the matrix? It's not even such a great film, you should consider creating a film club and watching Kubrick or Fellini for example...

[@SirajRaval]

LOL. yeah. lmao.

[@MrWorld-hc5rs]

i've dumped matrix for ex machina.

[@shreerangaraju1013]

matrix! almost every one?

[@SirajRaval]

i know right looool

[@randywelt8210]

please ASK for Warp Drive , crispr cas9 and Basic income

[@SirajRaval]

i shouldve

[@jucescab]

never saw ben krasnow from applied science :(

[@SirajRaval]

lol who dat

[@xPROxSNIPExMW2xPOWER]

Crazy inventive dude tests literally everything. He works for google x now, but still manages to run a channel

[@AviPars]

Can you make these videos less awkward.

[@SirajRaval]

yes lol

[@AviPars]

Siraj Raval besides that, your content is great. even the rapping

[@011azr]

Everybody is smarter than me. He has like 400+ more scientific journals/papers indexed by Scopus while I have none. What am I? xD

[@aidangomez4726]

thrun won't reply to my email

[@tarunjindal2977]

Do you work at google?

[@SirajRaval]

no

[@delamar6199]

Developing amazing high level technology? Check! - Knowing what a spirit animal is? Failed! As physics teach us, everything has to be balanced in some way. Fortunately....

[@fuzzypenguino]

I have a brain mutation as well

[@diegoantoniorosariopalomin4977]

Anonymous does asperger syndrome count ?

[@SirajRaval]

r u x man

[@Ruben-fk7zz]

why do you ask exactly 67 questions?

[@SirajRaval]

totally random number lol

[@raghavkhurana5103]

Did anybody count 67 questions ?

[@SirajRaval]

someone should

[@raghavkhurana5103]

Let's build a neural net that calculates the truthfulness of a youtube video. Hahahha :)
