I wonder what's the minimal hardware which can outplay any human with time control?
We know supercomputers can outplay any human, nowadays any smartphone can. But what about 286? 8080?
- hypertele-Xii 5y agoI like that. I've actually generated competitive [1] genetic programs for Corewar [2]. It was only 5 instructions long, but proves that in theory, given enough time, a computer program could be generated that plays Chess better. In a constrained environment like microcontrollers, the smallness of the space of all possible programs makes it faster for finding a good one. There is one catch, though: It may fail in unexpected ways.
