Stephen Wolfram answers questions from his viewers about the history of science and technology as part of an unscripted livestream series, also available on YouTube here: https://wolfr.am/youtube-sw-qa

Questions include: When did Neural Networks (and more generally these more black box type algos) overtake more traditional optimization approaches such as nonlinear programming and why do you think this happened? - Are memories stored in the brain? - Bell Labs is the company that developed C and Unix right? - Did you ever use LISP?
