> But there's also the risk of a runaway reaction, where a machine intelligence reaches and exceeds human levels of intelligence in a very short span of time. This always puzzles me. I don't have enough knowledge about AI to be

I don't mind those questions in an interview as long as the recruiter is not just reading them from a paper sheet, and actually know this stuff. This can be a way to find a candidate with a strong theorical CS background. Which can be

This is a great idea. I don't recall finding a simple source of clear information about feeds when I started. That could be why so little people know about them. And I love the design of the website by the way. Simple and elegant.

Yes exactly. Building something fast without understanding the complexity behind can be both a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing for the one who needs to deliver. It's a curse for the one who needs to learn. To be efficient in

My guess (for what it's worth) is that getting the code off github is not the same as "un-open source" it. Open source, as far as the GPL license is concerned means that anyone that has a copy of the original codebase is allo
