Khan Introduction to VC Investing and Startups
- stevefink 16y agoNot necessarily a resolution - but I've made myself a promise to watch at least one Khan video a day and work out the problems in the related categories. What an excellent refresher, particularly in mathematics. I really wish this site was around when I was in high school and college. I'm glad it will be there for my children and I'm certain it will have even more great content than it already has now when they approach the subject matter on this site in their studies.
- seiji 16y agoCan someone buy him a http://www.wacom.com/cintiq/ http://www.wacom.com/cintiq/ to help with the visuals? The presentation format of "let's draw everything super low quality with a mouse" gets old quickly. I believe we've found a case of intelligence without a designer.
- mwilcox 16y agoI'm pretty sure he already does use one.
- xenophanes 16y agoDidn't he get a million dollars from Google? So if he wants some tool he could afford it no problem.
- seiji 16y agoMaybe he takes the Craigslist approach of using ugly design because it's not intimidating?
- gahahaha 16y agoThey might not look sexy, but they work, so his time is better spent making new stuff rather than redoing the low res videos.
- cma 16y agoSomeone should just auto-vectorize them using something akin to http://www.valvesoftware.com/publications/2007/SIGGRAPH2007_AlphaTestedMagnification.pdf http://www.valvesoftware.com/publications/2007/SIGGRAPH2007_...
- flatline 16y agoThe quality has improved dramatically over time. The more recent ones (check out some of the later calc videos) are in HD, and are well-presented, probably scripted beforehand. OTOH in one of the old physics vids his phone goes off part-way through.
- erikpukinskis 16y agoYep. Here's his most recent video: http://youtu.be/17st-s5gg10?hd=1 http://youtu.be/17st-s5gg10?hd=1
- icegreentea 16y agoHe's always been using some sort of tablet for his recordings. In fact, if any of them were achieved by mousing, then Khan isn't just a brilliant educator, he'd also be blessed with godly mousing skills. What would be nice is if someone could help him out and update the older vids. As others have pointed out, the new vids have great quality. Maybe it's possible to algorithmically improve the quality in the past ones given that they're all lines.
- haribilalic 16y agoHe's been going through the older videos and rerecording them to improve their quality, but he sees new content as a higher priority.
