No need to add AI to the name, especially if it works. PaaS and IaaS are sufficient.

#53Earlier quoted context omitted.
No? ng*, ng-*, or *-ng is typically "Next Generation" in software nomenclature. Or, star trek (TNG). Alternatively, "ng-" is also from angular-js. Ng in Andrew Ng is just his name, like Wu in Chinese.
Wu from Wu-Tang?
No, Wu-Tang ultimately derives from the Wudang Mountains, with the corresponding Cantonese being Moudong https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E6%AD%A6%E7%95%B6%E5%B1%B1

#56I haven’t watched the video yet, but title does sound like quantity over quality. Why faster and not better with AI?
I think this is an interesting question, and I’d like to genuinely attempt an answer.
I essentially think this is because people prefer to optimize what they can measure.
It is hard to measure the quality of work. People have subjective opinions, the size of opportunities can be different, etc, making quality hard to pin down. It is much easier to measure the time required for each iteration on a concept. Additionally, I think it is generally believed that a project with more iterations tends to have higher quality than a project with less, even putting aside the concern about measuring quality itself. Therefore, we put aside the discussion of quality (which we’d really like to improve), and instead make the claim that we can actually measure (time to do something), with the strong implication that this _also_ will tend to increase quality.

> AOP? (since aspect-oriented programming is history)
AOP is very much alive, people that do AOP have just forgotten what the name is, and many have simply reinvented it poorly.

AOP always felt like a hack. I used it with C++ early on, and it was a preprocessor inserting ("weaving") aspects in the function entries/exits. Mostly was useful for logging. But that can be somewhat emulated using C++ constructors/destructors.
Maybe it can be also useful for DbC (Design-by-Contract) when sets of functions/methods have common pre/post-conditions and/or invariants.

And between that and the rap group there’s this important movie:
Shaolin and Wu Tang (1983)
> The film is about the rivalry between the Shaolin (East Asian Mahayana) and Wu-Tang (Taoist Religion) martial arts schools. […]
> East Coast hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan has cited the film as an early inspiration. The film is one of Wu-Tang Clan founder RZA's favorite films of all time. Founders RZA and Ol' Dirty Bastard first saw the film in 1992 in a grindhouse cinema on Manhattan's 42nd Street and would found the group shortly after with GZA. The group would release its debut album Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), featuring samples from the film's English dub; the album's namesake is an amalgamation of Enter the Dragon (1973), Shaolin and Wu Tang, and The 36th Chamber of Shaolin (1978).

#60when there is a gold rush, just sell courses how to mine gold
He sold courses (great ones!) long before there was AI-gold rush. He's one of the OG players in online education and I think he deserves praise, not blame for that.
