#2You can solve problems using Machine learning without coding from a while ago.. azure machine learning have this features from more than a year ago.
I've solve regression, classification and recommendation problems with it and the best part is it deploys an web service with a few clicks.

#3Pretty neat! Good overview without overwhelming right off the bat. Would be cool if they showed off common pitfalls like over fitting, or even segued into general statistics!

But you would need to have:
1 a working phone
2 a valid credit card
To use azure which places a too high bar on students. I mean I've tried to argue for graduated restrictions so basically students with .edu emails should be able to do some things without entering a credit card number but the fact that it is not possible suggests this isn't a priority for azure.
Google says this finds on your browser so there's little infrastructure cost for this demo, right?

there are 3 default classes, so you train according to each class(e.g. hand waving, sitting still, etc) you take examples of each(using your camera). you map the input data from your camera to some output data(e.g. if i used the green button to take photos of me waving), display a GIF of a cat that's waving. instead of a GIF you can use sound too

Surprisingly well!
It's a really well put together demo & tutorial.
I held a pen up next to me and held the green button.
Then did the same with a mouse.
It would flick between the two if I was holding nothing, so I held the orange button for a bit while holding nothing.
Worked pretty much every time.
Training is fast enough with a few hundred images per class that I didn't notice any delay.

#8Does anyone know what this uses under the hood? I loved the demo, but I would like a similarly easy way to get started locally with Python, for example.
Is there an ML library that can easily start capturing images from the webcam so you can play around with training a model?

Yes, there is! http://www.wekinator.org
(It is not a Python application but a Java application, but still as fun!)

Your unbridled optimism even in the face of reality has inspired me to give this a shot, thank you! It seems to be based on Weka, so it should be good.
On a first run, I don't really see how to record images from the webcam, it just says "waiting for samples". I'll play around some more and hopefully figure it out, thanks again.
EDIT: Ah, there's a detailed walkthrough which seems to work well!
