There are so many things I wish I had time to learn about. I don't need my learning resources, I need a way to jack in and have them uploaded to my brain.

The Stanford iTunesU classes have been truncated to a few seconds. So Susanna Braund's Aeneid course (which was brilliant) is gone. Same thing with their Hannibal course. I don't know that they're available elsewhere. Apple dropped iTunesU (2021?) and Stanford didn't have a backup.

A lot of these are just links to coursera. And quite a few are not from universities (saw a few by PWC)

People don't go to universities for courses

If anyone responsible for the site's CSS happens to see this, the fixed height in pixels of #header causes the nav bar links to be partially obscured making them more difficult to click. My current window's width is 1600.

How are these selected for inclusion? I don't understand the point of this list.

I can't even find the CS50 on it...I doubt the whole quality of this list.

Too bad that most Coursera courses are now behind a paywall. First they were free without certification, after a few years they removed the access to quizzes and tests but you could still audit for free. Now, you have to pay.

All this great free learning! We live in a time of incredible abundance. And yet when I look up from my phone at the screens of everyone else on the bus, I am the only one not on Instagram.

Have the LLMs digested these courses already? If so, How would we evaluate that claim ?
