People who are not too deeply familiar with the problems of artificial intelligence, but interested in them, we have to get acquainted with the achievements in this field through journal articles, full of exaggerations and false information. As a result, many people know about the incredible opportunities already working quantum computers, artificial neural networks or digital evolution, which is about to have the first artificial intelligence. Behind all this are real scientific discoveries, but their retelling of the people seeking for sensationalism is nothing more than a fiction. Real discoveries that constitute the very essence of progress in a particular scientific area described in the literature understandable only to professionals. It is extremely difficult to present them in a clear and interesting to the layman form. However, it managed to do this author in the book. It is not only in an accessible form presents the basic information from the AI area, but also debunked many of the myths common in the popular scientific environment, and even scheduled a very real, and not fantastic way, which can lead to the creation of real artificial intelligence.

PS: Personally, I can only add that this is the first book on AI that I was able to master. Attempts to reach the end in other journals, despite the interest in this area ended in nothing, because of my lack of expertise.

Performance comparison of hierarchical models, Django and PostgreSQL

Good day, dear readers. Today's article will be devoted to the comparison of models of working with hierarchical data in PostgreSQL via Django app. In the article I specifically do not use a clean implementation in the database, because I'm interested in is performance in an environment close to combat. All tests were performed on my data and results are relevant for this data on your data the result may differ from that obtained in the article. Model implementation of the hierarchical structures in the database For working with such structures in PostgreSQL you can use the following modely : the Adjacency model (AM) — model, when the column is stored parent; the Nested Sets (NS) model when paired column stores the range of all sub-elements; the Materialised Path model (MP) model, when the column is stored the full path to the element. Also details about the implementation of hierarchical structures in a relational database, you can read here . To imp

All the best and just good professionals recruited by Google, Facebook, DropBox, LinkedIn and the hundreds of top companies. There they were provided with comfortable conditions for all criteria. The salary for most engineers is not
