<0> ah yes. "GA is equal to evolution. Therefore, since GA can't produce diversity and evolution can't solve specific problems, both are useless." fun argument. amazingly fallacious, and not precisely what Dan was saying (He only used "GA never did anything that I know of, therefore evolution is worthless", but hey.)
<0> honestly. maybe Dan should familiarize himself with the research behind it all.
<0> for instance the proofs that GAs are an optimal algorithm for uninformed search.
<0> (an optimal algorithm in that other algorithms do better on some problems ... but worse on others.)
<1> yeah right
<0> Thank you, Dan, for proving precisely how much you know on the topic.
<0> (J H Holland's Adaptation in Natural and Artificial Systems, 1975, for those who would actually want to see these proofs.)
<2> eh?
<2> proofs about what? i missed a discussion about adaptation?
<0> chess: GAs are proven to be an optimal uninformed search algorithm.
<0> Dan doesn't believe it.
<2> son of a mother, i did miss a good discussion
<0> (well, his religious dogma wouldn't allow him to, because he's been equivocating GAs and evolution to try to denigrate both.)
<0> All he said was "yeah right" ;)
<2> have you read any of the papers criticizing Holland's work?
<0> I haven't, no. And I'm sure there's weaknesses and ***umptions. But Dan wouldn't think of actually looking, or of considering the possibility it has points to it, either ...
<2> i need to get Holland's book and read it
<0> likewise.
<2> you haven't read it?
<0> No, I haven't.
<2> ah, i just ***umed you had, since you cited it
<1> chessguy, nike
<2> oh, bite me
<1> rhimes :)
<2> some of us like learning, instead of just talking about learning
<1> rhymes?
<1> hehe good one
<1> me personally, I like to think for my self instead of looking to others for opinions. doesn't hurt that I do it well either
<1> but we each have our journey I guess
<1> not the same
<2> there's nothing wrong with thinking for yourself, but there's also nothing wrong with learning from what the great thinkers have said
<3> have anybody a e-book of pattern detection and image proccesing... author: stewart?
<4> So how is everyone?
<2> quiet, apparently
<4> Heh, yeah.
<5> hiho
<6> DanF_DrC: How does the following fit with your beliefs regarding the brain and the soul: http://www.scienceblog.com/cms/ever-happy-mice-may-hold-key-to-new-treatment-of-depression-11343.html
<1> x00q, fine. same as drugs can modify your mood and same as touch gives sensory impression. all part of the illusion we live
<1> you can only see it in yourself. don't look for mice to show you
