Self-Organizing Circuit Reinvents Radio

Posted by timothy on from the finding-what-you-look-for dept.

PortWineBoy writes "An evolutionary computer program that controls circuits connected to transistors is told to 'breed' an oscillator. Instead, it breeds a radio receiver which picks up oscillation produced by a nearby computer to achieve the desired result. It seems interesting to me but does it have any implications or applications? Any thoughts on how something like this could be used elsewhere?"

    That's right. You can drink it.

    Religion is the opium of the people.

    YOU WILL DIE SOMEDAY. There is no afterlife. That is the end of everything.

    (*) Warning, this site loads strangely for me in Mozilla 1.1. It's better but not totally un-strange in Opera 6.05.

    It looks perfectly fine in Mozilla 1.1 Win32. Why don't you quit playing with that POS toy OS and get a real OS (WinXP or MacOSX)? Really, something that has a concept of "fonts"...
