Serious question, is this a working program, for any definition of "work"? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foFDnHkQ7XM … [video] @clinton_freeman @thelmstedt

@dibblego @clinton_freeman @thelmstedt We humans have also a lot of bugs in our mind and consciousness. :-)

@chespinoza_75 @clinton_freeman @thelmstedt At what point does the extent of bugs become indistinguishable from the empty program?

@dibblego @chespinoza_75 @thelmstedt Depends on context. The probability a chess program functions correctly IMO can be less than 100%.

@clinton_freeman @chespinoza_75 @thelmstedt When does it become "not working"?

@dibblego @chespinoza_75 @thelmstedt When you as a player becomes dissatisfied. Which depends on factors like cost, alternatives, etc.

@clinton_freeman @chespinoza_75 @thelmstedt This sounds nutty to me. There must be an extent to which the program is "not working."

@dibblego @chespinoza_75 @thelmstedt The world is a nutty place. "not working", "crap", "bad" is a comparative and often qualitative measure
