You do not need to pay to host a PDF article, there are platforms such as arxiv.org or zenodo.org that do this for free for you.

Self-driving cars are expected to take over the roads, however no programmer is able to write code that does this directly, without machine learning. However, programmers have built all kinds of software of great value, from operating systems to databases, desktop software and so on. Much of this software is open source and artificial systems can learn from it. Therefore, it could well be that, in the end, it would be easier to build artificial systems that learn to automatically develop such software than systems that autonomously drive cars, if the right methodologies are used. The author is right to say that neural program synthesis is the next big thing, and this also motivated me to switch my research to this field. If you have a PhD and are interested in working in neural program synthesis, please check out these available positions: http://rist.ro/job-a3

Ironically, on the right of this article there is a link to another article from the same source, entitled "Top of the bots: This AI isn't a cold, cruel killing machine – it's a pop music hit machine" [1]. Perhaps the link was also placed there by a machine learning / AI algorithm...

The machines showed in these videos seem suited for very large and expensive processing facilities, which probably are cost-effective because one supplies the consumption of millions to tens of millions of people. But how smaller producers can automatize their processing without owning or depending on these facilities? Would robots that cost of the order of tens of thousands euros / dollars, that automate more flexibly but slowly than the machines in the videos, be cost-effective for smaller producers? How big is the market for such robots?

How big is this market?

I have been using Keynote [1] for years, without ever losing information. I find that its tree data structure is extremely useful. It is an open-source desktop program. Unfortunately its development seems to have been put on hold. It would be great if developers would keep it updated (on Windows 8, there are some small UX glitches).
