Computers are faster sifting through mountains of data to find patterns.
It is as interesting as any story where a typewriter improves efficiency. Is that due to the AI part involved? No, has nothing to do with. Does science get done differently? No, we've been analyzing patterns for years, with different machines.

H. G. Wells (almost) wrote: No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over computers. ... Yet in the laboratories, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us. And in the mid-twenty first century came the great disillusionment.
Ad astra - both ways!

Recently, I have been interviewed over the phone by a Google recruiter. As I qualified for the (unsolicited) interview but failed to pass the test, this blog post lists the questions and the expected answers. That might be handy if Google calls you one day. Now you can cram for this exam!
Yes, probably from 2016, but making the rounds today. And isn't mocking recruiters always in fashion?

It made the rounds in 2016 too. I'm guessing gwan redid its blog url structure because I'm almost certain I saw it here at the time.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

While I was applying for my current job I was given a task project to complete.
I was almost complete with the project having used google searches to help me and what happens?
I get a flipping invitation in my browser to take a test to be able to join Google.
Thanks Google! Can't you see I am busy applying for another job and don't need your test asking me to calculate how many M&Ms i can get when I cut a slice of cake!

A new study from Jamf shows that, while the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend is less popular than employers might like, allowing employees to pick their own hardware is probably the smart choice. Why yes, that video card will help ... my compile times with JavaScript. Yeah, that's the ticket!

More data breaches, more problems for developers. The rising risks in cybersecurity mean more developers need to improve their skills in this critical field. Because everything is brken

It has been in the offing for some time now, but yesterday in an interview with Cheddar, Microsoft’s chief marketing officer Chris Capossela formally raised the white flag when it came to the platform wars with Google and Apple. "Peace for our time"
The actual interview doesn't match this headline. More like kumbaya than a surrender

That's a click bait headline if ever I saw one.

For that matter how is that different from what they've been saying about mobile for the last two years?

I've seen some complex math in AI, but how the fu*k did they calculate the 2040?

I prefer checkers. When I was only 10 I beat a TRS-80 (back in '78) at checkers by not moving any of my back row of checkers. I gained a king and could continue to move while the computer ran out of moves as all its pieces were moved forward.
I think you can tell I was kind of a genius prodigy for beating the computer that way. 
I'm not sure what happened after that.
