Artificial Intelligence: Bridging the Gap

I've always been fascinated with the nature of intelligence, and naturally, AI.
films like "her" and "Ex Machina" give a very compelling performance of a person playing a machine that is playing a person
It really is astounding what machines are capable of.
It's hard not to ask how close we are to manufacturing genuine intelligence.

The greatest barrier to manufacturing intelligence as we know it is what might be called a rational volition

Define CRUD.
There are seven verb + path combinations that are necessary in a basic Sinatra app in order to provide full CRUD functionality. List each of the seven combinations, and explain what each is for.
Why do we use set method_override: true?
Explain the difference between value and name in this line: <input type='text' name='task[title]' value="<%= @task.title %>"/>.
What are params? Where do they come from?

	Texas Holdem using Rails 5 action Cable

	Intro

	* Excited about Rails five's new feature action cable
	* What it does
	Action cable allows you to integrate websockets into your rails app for real time updates
	Most examples are of chat applications. Wouldn't it be cool to have a poker app that updates in realtime
	when other players take actions?

	My code: http://exercism.io/submissions/714b4da37a15469fb6090b0a6eb206d5
	* user #1 ([here](http://exercism.io/submissions/08fb2ad5e90d4bda802530565c868752)) - This user solved the problem pretty much the same way I did. He used if / else conditionals; whereas, I used a the && and \|\| operator. I also broke mine out into a separate function.

	* user #2 ([here](http://exercism.io/submissions/7e61b46cf54a473b82fb0a5d919fa0c0)) - This user broke the problem out into two functions as well. Our approaches were very similar except he is evaluating local variables inside the method instead of evaluatng the result of the method call.

	* user #3 ([here](http://exercism.io/submissions/3134dcfb07df4977b7a62ad3d9daafd8)) - This user handled the entire if / else condition. The option seems very straight forward and is easy to follow.

	* user #4 ([here](http://exercism.io/submissions/d2ff8f9e1aad445cb5641647379d0d7e)) - I have not seen this syntax before "isLeap: function()" for defining a function. This code seems
