11/14/2018, 3:54 PM"AI" and "data science" are both buzzwords that have been corrupted via hype and exploding scope. I personally would rather not contribute to the problem by making the two inaccurately synonymous. "Machine Learning" at least has some distinction in what it does, but I would not make it synonymous with "data science" or "AI", but rather make it a subset of both domains.

11/14/2018, 5:04 PMSeriously, I think the P and NP thing is a huge commonality with all these domains, minus data engineering.

11/14/2018, 7:18 PMI would linger in the aforementioned algorithms channel. I think it might get some traffic with advent-of-code coming up in a few weeks.

11/14/2018, 7:20 PMAlthough we might have to clarify exactly what it’s about, since it seems like it would be a super-set of the AI channel and the data-science channel.
