ccarpenterg··on Start-Up Chile is OK. Nothing more.
The main Startup Chile drawbacks are:

- they don't invest on you, instead they give you access to a grant

- there are no real investors backing the program

- there are no real entrepreneurs backing the program

- they don't know anything about technology

- nobody is thinking about getting rich except the entrepreneurs joining the program.

EDIT: Well actually there are local entrepreneurs too.

ccarpenterg··on I'm turning 30 and I've produced no amazing art.
The probability of success (ie: creating a startup and selling it for 100 millions) is conditioned by two major factors: (a) a good idea (and the right implementation) and (b) the preparation of yourself.

So rather than trying to get the next big idea instead work on solving interesting problems and improve your skills and capacities. And take some risk!

ccarpenterg··on Job placement program for top students in Stanford's online AI class
Yes. The online ML class method is extremely effective and efficient too. After two months I'm able to apply ML to the most common problems without any previous background on the topic.

I'm chilean and my great-great-grandfather, John Carpenter, arrived in Chile in 1860 - 1880. He was British and all the research I've done suggests that he was a Quaker from the south of England.

FX is a FM booster or translator (rebroadcasting). I'll show the FM callsign in the next version.
