Yes, the API of humans is our base vocabulary. for instance the oxford-3000 word list, is considered to be sufficient to reach fluency. > > Jim: > Well I could say that the future of All AGI approaches lies in the design > of the APIs and all the rest of the stuff.

Yes, one of the biggest weaknesses in computer science, is that people don't like reading each others code. I don't think it's the peoples fault, I think it's the fault of the programming langauges. They have next to nothing to do with human languages, so are absurdly difficult to read and understand. by contrast we read articles and whole books of other peoples code in human languages, and can even derive pleasure from doing so. I think reading programming code should be a pleasurable experience. This can be accomplisehd with SPEL. > I think the claim that these guys are making is that they found > a way around some of those weaknesses using memristers.
