   What is wrong with the Hutter Prize strategy for achieving AGI? Don't get me wrong - the money would be very nice to have - but I am drawn to the simplicity of the Hutter Prize. Is the conception of that prize in some way flawed? I thi

   Thanks for the link to this post! I want to know if garbage collection could be done in "all-or-nothing" fashion. When you collect you simply increment the "generation counter". Since all data is tagged with a "gene

   Like this: in the Scheme programming language you would write (define (add a b) (+ a b)) in my language you would write .(add).. a b number .(+).. a b to define subtraction declaratively in terms of "add" you would write the follo

   Your example would defeat even genetic algorithms! But maybe a quantum computer could do it. If not, then I think the computer must have some artificial intelligence at the level of a human. It could respond: "I will try to find you an

    I will look closer at the SQL language then but what about efficiency?

    Now suppose that the problem is not so straight forward as in finding the square root. Declarative programming in the general case would allow one to specify to a robot that it should walk to a certain location and arrive at a certain time.

    I would bring in efficient declarative programming. One could then tell the computer "I want the number which squared equals 2". The computer asks "To how many decimal places?". You specify any number you like. It woul
