How many bits it takes to describe X is an undecidable question when defined in other ways, too.

The definition "length of the shortest program which minimizes (program length + runtime)" isn't undecideable, although you could argue that that's not what we normally mean by number of bits.

Adding program length and runtime feels to me like a type error.
