  1. GIGO on Evolutionary Computing Via FPGAs · · Score: 1

    Any AI with a FPGA starts with a limited number of inputs:
    x inputs with values 0 or 1 (or neither) == 2^x (++) possibles.
    Any AI with a FPGA ends with a limited number of outputs:
    y outputs with values 0 or 1 (or unknown) == 2^y (++) possibles

    Inputs-to-Outputs are linked (joined, coupled, etc) by the logic between them (a 'black-box' so-to-speak). An 'evolve' can never happen without linking output to input (feedback).
    So, all AI inputs/outputs are constrained by their outputs and their sampling periods.

    So for some boxes, an input of (properly encoded)"what is the meaning of the universe?" will return "43". After tuning, these boxes may produce "4f*@#%(#@" or perhaps "forth", "For Linux", "forsooth, BG", "for you use..." or "for more useless answers, call your ISP, then ask BG; if in doubt, ask your mother".

    This box apparently returned a tone.
    Hmmm...
    In the christmas/new year tradition...
    this is true intelligence.

  2. just some thoughts --- on Mplayer Charges License Violation · · Score: 1

    I wonder ... Looking at their website with it's
    bumper graphic, who would want any sort of
    graphical viewer produced by such a concern ?
    Hmmm..

    I wonder ... in reading the opinions on the news
    page (take a look at the 2nd info page, too),
    why anyone should want to invest their (or their
    company's, their shareholder's, etc) money or
    their time (effort, hopes) in such a concern.
    Hmmm...(spirited !)

    I wonder ... if there are certain parts of this
    concern's 'product' that are GPL, and other
    parts that are not, why doesn't this concern
    make it clear (or reasonably so) what is and
    what is not GPL ? ( ... Does this concern know
    the difference ?)
    >> Publish the GPL source part only per the
    GPL terms (blah, blah, blah).
    >> Make demands on other developers about how
    to credit you for your efforts on the LGPL
    part(s),
    >> CLEARLY INDICATE the non-GPL/LGPL parts.

    I wonder ... does this concern know what a
    binary distro is ? Check out: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/users_against_develop ers.html
    especially read under Reasons ... 'Law'.

    Other thoughts:

    "MPlayer STOLEN by russian OS/2 users" ??? (my
    emphasis from the MPlayer news page). What a
    crock of shi**t. (lets start by "Which OS/2
    USERS 'stole' MPlayer" ??? or maybe just "Let's
    NOT SUPPORT CRIMINALS" blah, blah, blah).

    fishes under the bridges eating the worms near
    the net. where does the mirror reflect ?
