• Bart Demoen's amageddon revisited (Was: Prolog totally missed the AIBoom)

    Hi,

    That Prolog missed the AI Boom is quite amazing,
    given that neural networks have a lot to do
    with physics, and there were even Prologers with

    a physics PhD, well almost if there werent a typo:

    Name: Bart Demoen
    Dissertation: Stability and Equilibrium for Clasical infinite Systems Advisor: Andre Frans Maria Verbeure https://www.genealogy.math.ndsu.nodak.edu/id.php?id=70951

    What does Clasical mean? But then there is a famous
    test case, which can melt Bart Demoen's brain:

    Gap in Section 7.6.2 and some Insecurity Arising from it

    ?- call((Z=!, a(X), Z)).
    Z = !
    X = 1 ?;
    Z = !
    X = 2
    yes

    ?- findall(Z-X,call((Z=!, a(X), Z)),L).
    L = [!-1]

    Bart Demoen's memorable reaction in 04.11.2011, 23:06:47 was:

    PLEASE, DO NOT ALARM THIS NEWSGROUP ABOUT "FUNNY" RESULTS
    WITHOUT TELLING US WHICH SYSTEM CAUSED THE RESULTS

    LoL

    Bye

    Hi,

    Although Paulo Moura followed the lead of Bart
    Demoen and started mobbing me. Many people were
    rather shaking their head over Bart Demoen.

    When Bart Demoen posted:

    Programming vs. Specification

    ?- X = a, setof(Y, p(X, Y), S).
    and
    ?- setof(Y, p(X, Y), S), X = a.

    not for the following definition of p/2:

    p(b,1) :- ! .
    p(_,2) .

    Fernando Pereira, sighted:

    Sigh... We were discussing *logical* advantages.
    Of course setof cannot give a declarative reading
    to a program that doesn't have one to start with.

    Hi,

    Ok, one last sample, barty boy in full swing:

    Oh, but you did much better: you tried to ridicule
    my research, my home country and the size of my
    Prolog programs. I can't match that.

    https://groups.google.com/g/comp.lang.prolog/c/uh_HUytRGJE/m/tXc7euv1KngJ

    So he got into struggle with industry? I would
    add not only small programms, but also a micro
    penis and an empty head.

    LoL

    Hi,

    I hope he doesn't get a heart attack.
    But he really made it too easy for me:

    Isaiah 30:8 (NIV): rCLGo now, write it
    on a tablet for them, inscribe it on a
    scroll, that for days to come it may
    be an everlasting witness.rCY

    Enjoy your free time:

    Bart Demoen retired ...
    I retired on 1 october 2018.
    https://people.cs.kuleuven.be/~bart.demoen/

    Its not that comp.lang.prolog would somehow
    track people and their biography. This
    was my little contribution.
