Why not comment on the (rather interesting IMO) content rather than on the personality of the person writing? No one is going to change their mind based on your snark.
- mrkeen 3y agoI liked the part of the content where Schönfinkel: > If well designed (as I hope the Wolfram Language is!) computational language has a certain clean, formal structure. But human natural language is full of messiness, which has to be untangled by natural language understanding—as we’ve done for so many years for Wolfram|Alpha, always ultimately translating to our computational language, the Wolfram Language. > But without the notion of an underlying computational language, people tend to feel the need to search endlessly for formal structure in human natural language. And, yes, some exists. But—as we see all the time in actually doing practical natural language understanding for Wolfram|Alpha—there’s a giant tail that seems to utterly explode any all-encompassing formal theory. Oh nevermind.
