Artificial Life Forms Evolve Basic Memory, Strategy
Calopteryx notes a New Scientist piece on how digital organisms in a computer world called Avida replicate, mutate, and have evolved a rudimentary form of memory. Another example of evolution in a simulation lab is provided by reader Csiko: "An evolutionary algorithm was used to derive a control strategy for simulated robot soccer players. The results are interesting — after a few hundred generations, the robots learn to defend, pass, and score — amazing considering that there was no trainer in the system; the self-organizing differentiated behavior of the players emerged solely out of the evolutionary process."
Jesus, you are sad. You totally missed the point, and go mad about my little sidepoint, claiming I say the sun is a direct source of energy, while my point was WE DON'T because it wouldn't be afficient. Read, idiot, read..
Perhaps if you would be less of an asshole, people would be inclined to forgive your lack of reading comprehension while trying to look smug.
Argumentum ad populum.
Which makes you a pitiful loser. Why don't you shut up if you have nothing to contribute.
