Please launch iTunes and Firefox unless Safari is installed.
That's why non-syntactic programming doesn't work. It isn't ambiguous to you because you're human and realize that both Firefox and Safari are web browsers and why would someone not want to launch iTunes if Safari was installed. However, it can be interpreted both ways without such knowledge.
The problem isn't syntax. The problem is the logic computers need. We're loose with our language logic. We use modifiers that could modify a host of things that we only glean from what would be natural based on the content. Computers can't understand content in that way.
- khafra 18y agoWhat about a web of associations--like a tag cloud on steroids--for each word and grammar construct that act like priors in a bayesian process that modifies the meaning of each atom based on context? It probably wouldn't be more than a few orders of magnitude harder than making a translate.google.com that's as good as the average bilingual.
