Just like not all astrophysicists reach Nobel prize level achievements not all machine-learning graduates will innovate in their field. But to help you out, in order to find people who are likely to innovate, find out if that is their goal.

I don't think it's necessary for us to get a machine to reach "consciousness", whatever that is, before we realise it's overtaken our mental ability to combine two existing concepts in order to create a new one. I i

"AI any week now" What marketers proclaim that? Are they saying that or are they saying there is _utility_ in AI, now? Because me thinks, there is real utility, now, but it's going to take years until it overtakes us. Years!

Yes. Because we don't know it is an owl we should draw. It's equally likely AI is just three circles combined.

I'm just trying to stay positive. If you talk optimistically about AI (or big data for that matter) you quickly get downvoted these days. I'm curious as to why that is. I thought this was 'marica. Isn't this 'marica

I actually thought that by now, in 2019, this forum would have realized that big data is real. It's a thing. Some of us are forced to deal with it. It's a hard problem that is well-suited for having discussions around on forums th

This is interesting. Without fully understanding the design of this system, I wonder how far it scales. Can you process big data with LoCal?

As others have said: you have some nerve. Congrats! This idea is clearly doable. If I were you I'd have spiced it up with - a non-tracking and completely anonymous web browser - expert web search Including those will attract talent to

Google got skilled at large scale search, then generalized on that and went on to create a distributed big data compute engine, and asked themselves, now what can we build? You're thinking of following those steps but in reverse. I lov

It seems more appropriate to say, Linked Lists are generally bad [when used as replacement for arrays]. LL aren't generally bad at doing what only linked lists can.

Sorry but I can't make the switch from chrome to ff because I don't buy ff's agenda any more than I do Google's. Neither is in the browser game to make money from great browser product. I want someone to be as dedicated

That's not at all what my issue is though. I have what you might call "big data problems" and I'm so turned-off by Hadoop that I'm actually rolling my own distributed DB. But what principles other than a DFS should

Google seems to look for the most relevant topics, then zone in on the one most likely yours, then fill the result set with topics mostly from the one it think you favor. At page three you'll find pages from all kinds of topics. I thin

Thanks! The documentation is very incomplete. I'll fix that ASAP.

Sure, but I was not trying to bluff you. Instead I was trying to describe to you a crucial point that is missing from the project's documentation (where I mostly describe the NLP engine) and that is that Resin at its core is a tool for

Just a quick reminder; my MIT licensed open source project Resin [0] does pretty much of what WA does. It's free today and it will be free tomorrow. Free to use in production, to clone, fork, tear apart. Like WA - it's a linguisti

You are suggesting, are you not, that top-down is as good as bottom-up? To that I disagree. I believe what caught my interest was the bottom-up approach that was the commodore manuals.
