ops and programming are getting pretty blurred. with IAAS the whole system, including all the (abstracted) physical resources, are my program

spieden17:06:11

seems like AIs are pretty special purpose still. as long as there isn’t enough money in a niche field to make an AI for it programmers should still have work. =)

spieden17:06:27

that is until the fully generalized AI/singularity comes along

spieden17:06:27

hopefully not in our lifetimes =)

spieden17:06:10

seems like they were trying to do that before the AI winter and now the success is with machine learning specialized tasks using big volumes of data

mobileink21:06:34

spieden: yeah. but the success of ML and related is spectacular. e.g. Watson on Jeopardy.

spieden21:06:36

yes no doubt, but how costly compared to a given application’s available resources?

spieden21:06:46

self driving cars, no problem: everyone drives

mobileink21:06:53

all code runs. same principle.

what type of naming conventions is everyone using for datomic and for that matter namespaces? organization.project.namespace for the namespace, and :organization.project.entity/attribute for the db keys? Do you omit the organization for brevity? I've been trying to think about this more since spec and the promotion of namespaced keys everywhere, but there doesn't seem to be many conventions published out there

@jjttjj there is a #datomic channel 😉
