$25 billion endowment, and we get the audio quality of a 1930s-era wire recorder. Annoying.


OOC, what are you listening to? The youtube playlist has 2 videos for each lecture, a zoom recording focusing on the slides with the professor visible on camera, and a classroom recording - the latter definitely has better audio quality, but the audio quality of both is far better than your average OCW lecture from 10 years ago.


It's ironic that the audio quality of most AI online courses is terrible.I'm looking forward to the moment when AI can be used to improve the audio of these lectures, especially older ones like the Feynman lectures.[1]

It did occur to me that improving the audio might be a good final exam. Better suited to a DSP class than an ML class, though.


with subtitles it's bearable
