Hi,

Spain is one of the main recipients of EU recovery funds,
with a total of 163 billion euros ($178 billion) earmarked
for the country, approximately half in grants and the rest
in loans. It has already received 37 billion euros.

Madrid and software.imdea.org is no exception. Probably
the same disaster as the Valencia floods. The money
is just siphoned into some crooks pockets. The biggest
crooks are at the moment ALP & friends,

just publishing a series of failure reports. Every
paper just reports some problems, never solutions.
Most recent cringe example:

BoostRLR: The beauty of Prolog for statistical
relational learning
https://www.informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de/fileadmin/10030600/2024/KI_2004_paper_174.pdf

Why is change_arg/3 not common among Prolog systems.
Why do we deal with aggregates like we are still in
stone age. Aggregates are a well known discipline
of database technology.

Why only aggregate_all/2 and not also a memory savy
solutions of aggregate/3. Aggregates are the bread
and butter of statistics.

Bye
