Sure, I'm talking about much lower-level concepts though. For example, on a system with 8 gigabytes of memory, a candidate program has computed a 5 gigabyte string. For its next operation, it appends that string to itself, thereby crashing the VM due to running out of memory. How _exactly_ do you prevent this from happening (while meeting all the other requirements for an AI platform)? It's a trickier problem than it sounds like it ought to be. ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: http://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=101455710-f059c4 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
