Nice video.
I like this format where you talk about each topic for about 10 minutes.
I would be good to see how you use the pen with the surface pro, and/or the tablet if you get it.
Thanks

What do you think about machine learning, neural networks and hype around it? You know Python and advanced math already, so entry level to that field is much lower for you.

[@XahLee]

yes, seems a lot hype. i don't know any tech detail about machine learning or neural networks. Though, maybe someday i'd learn. For my personal goal, am learning about parsers, compilers, and proof theory, and some math eg differential geometry and complex analysis. So probably will be sometime before i learn ML and neural networks. Some online article suggest that machine learning etc are reaching a wall and the hype is over. Maybe it's true.

[@Simon-xi8tb]

wait, why do you need alarm clock to turn on every 10 mins ?

[@XahLee]

30 mins, not 10. i set to 30 instead of 1 hour, because often i got lazy and may just ignore it. So, i tried to make it more frequent. even just 1 min walkup to turn it off, helps, if one is sitting all day. Also, 30 min is a good period to walk about. So, simpler that way, instead of x min for sit and y min for walk.
