I read this book a long time ago. It provided some insights on the role of Japan's difficulty with foreign languages in the 1980s and the desire to create AI translation. The "Fifth Generation project" was a massive government and big-business joint venture that amounted to almost nothing.
The author explores why with some surprises along the way. I would say it is like the "Mythical Man Month" from the Japanese side of computing.
The book also opened my eyes to the difficulty of mastering Japanese.

- lazyasciiart 2y agoYour link is broken, please fix it for me to check out :)
- Minor49er 2y agoJust remove the space from the URL
- Qwertious 2y agoThe URL doesn't completely display itself on mobile, it gets cut off with an ellipsis added. Why not just edit the link to remove the space?

- Minor49er 2y agoI have not and am not seeing this problem, and I have been posting on mobile Alternatively, you could just search the name that was provided instead of demanding to be spoonfed
- Qwertious 2y agoThat was an actual question: why is there a space in the link, why not just post the actual URL? Is there some technical limitation I'm unaware that makes it impossible to select that space char and delete it? Not to mention, 100 people could manually edit the link, or one person could edit the comment - the latter is clearly the better option. Rule 1, BTW, "demand to be spoonfed" bleh.
- lazyasciiart 2y agoGood guess, I was indeed on mobile and I couldn't see the entire url.
- lupire 2y agoOne of Hofstadter's old books also talks about this.
