That does indeed seem like the standard version of Newcomb's. (Though I don't understand your last sentence, assuming "non-negligible" does not mean 1/2 to the power of 100.)

Can you spell out what you mean by "if" in this context? Because a lot of us are explicitly talking about the best algorithm to program into an AI.
