   Exactly, the idea of exaptation in biology might be relevant, too; a resource first developed in one context is often useful in different contexts. While evolving or exaptation might not be a new concept, it is an important one that bears t

   My frustration was because IE*, and thus some form of Windows was required. I use modern browsers, just never IE, and windows only when I must. So I agree with your point about upgrading being a good thing, but the underlying absurdity is t

   Thanks for clarifying, I'll put this explanation in the post to make it more accurate. Interesting how an intuitive guess at the cause was so far off; the true cause was more insidious and historical. Inherited cruft from an acquisition.

   I work with NNs in a research context and am working on a startup commercializing some research-related NN technology. What price range were you thinking?

    I'm sure there are those that disagree strongly, but I feel like this isn't as much an advance for AI as it is another interesting combination of filtered human-structured knowledge and computation power. Just as Deep Blue brute-forced ches

    anecdotally i was able to get 2/3 of porn and around 60% non-porn over 60 rounds...not statistically significant in itself, but piques my interest in this line of thought pie-in-the-sky thinking: is there some 'quantum immortality'-style ar

    This is sometimes the case in computer search algorithms as well -- sometimes trying to minimize error or some heuristic of distance to the goal performs worse than just searching for things that are 'different' from previous things you've

    I have to say that generative encodings are the most exciting new development of genetic algorithms. Basically, the idea is this: Typically in GAs, the genotype (the bits that make up the genome, the ones that undergo selection and recombin

    There have been attempts to reproduce it and expand on it: http://ero.matfyz.cz/ (The demos here are really slick) http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~txm/creatures/index.html But in general, sims' results are still among the most impressive ALi

    Very interesting, I've done work evolving neural networks for biped walking. As far as I know, usually researchers use monolithic NNs, why did you use 22 separate NNs? I've never seen anything like that, opens my mind up to some new NN arch
