"Although this particular test problem doesn't have any real world application that I can think of, it makes a good test case because it is easy to code and simple both conceptually and computationally. The component strings vary in both content and length, which prevents any possible interpreter or hardware optimizations that might rely on large strings of repeated bytes. I don't think the python interpreter actually does this, but it's a good principle to use a test that isn't susceptible to such situational optimizations. "
I was trying this exactly....I thought the same exact things up to this point so far. Really good page so far. We think the same stuff....mind blowing.... I had made such a for loop like he did, and said that to myself as well as my reasoning, etc... I had thought about many of the suggested methods. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T8eb8e09a773bebb5-M1f4b397b7c52e0a75b3fb0b7 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
