TV sucks! hey Kor, you were the one talking about that SBS supercomputer, right? 03:20pm yeah cool shit, even if the performance is exaggerated a bit yeah, the dynamic architecture is whats so cool although they should elaborate on what the GAs are doing to evolve itssystem functions :/ Even if the initial cost isn't quite price-competitive with IBM's, the IBM costs a hell of alot more to power it.. hehe I think they have a3-5year plan to bring it to consumers too :) One time I ran a little Corewar GA program I found on the net, and overnight it evolved a program that could beat all but the best 5 or 10 human-made programs.. cool, I saw the Corewar page before, there should be more games like that π KeLp/#tunes is away: (ideling) [BX-MsgLog On] ωνω SignOff yery: #TUNES (Ping timeout for yery[benetnash.ffke-campus.mipt.ru]) ωνω yery [ost@benetnash.ffke-campus.mipt.ru] has joined #tunes Yeah, more "interesting" games would be nice.. where you have other "worlds" besides a memory bank.. I learned assembly language with Corewar I'm not convinced FPGA's are the way to go for *everything*. They would make a nice addition to a "normal" computer though. yeah, I think I am going to make a game mixed between Corewar and Dragon Warrior(NES hehe) for gnome, and scheme will be the definition language Hey, it would be cool to do it with actual (physical) robots hell yeah! use microcontrollers 03:30pm or whatevef that would make a great EE/System Integration course get a microprocessor, and a few inputs(IR or something), then control a few servos At my school there's a contest to make a robot car that follows a block oval on the floor :) sucks though s/block/black? black, yeah whys it suck? hehe.. the winner is usually the only one that goes around the track, even if it barely moves It would be cool, if there was competition for *speed* :(, I can think of an easy way to do that, as long as the floor isless reflective then the oval er, or vise versa Yeah, an IR sensor works yeah, I saw something called robot wars where peoples robots smash each other Hey, did you hear about these college students who made a chess-playing robot? no? hehe, they built it from $150 of scraps, for the arm & video camera... rigged up an image-recognition thing, and used GNUchess for the "thinking" part :) and they called it Deep Purple sweet I saw something on TV a long time ago about the robots smashing each other. That was cool as hell.. I was like, "I wanna go to MIT!" ωνω Kor [kor@pm-ppp89.triton.net] has left #tunes [] ωνω Kor_ [kor@pm-ppp89.triton.net] has joined #tunes damn IRC server disconnected me that's fucked ωνω SignOff dino: #TUNES (Ping timeout for dino[pm-ppp25.triton.net]) you know dino? yeah he lives about a mile from me 03:40pm ωνω dino_ [dino@pm-ppp189.triton.net] has joined #tunes wb dino hellos hmm...

You know how they say it's as fast as IBM's latest & greatest? (the SBS) yeah that's with 16-bit addition operations.. and I bet the IBM and Cray are doing that many 64-bit additions.. making them about 10 times faster. I know, I am not sure why they rated it using a 16bit adder :/ they could have used a ray traceing algorithm, FFT, or even an antialiasing engine and it would have been more useful if they're gonna be "sneaky" you'd think they wouldn't say anything I want to see what the "independent lab[s]" have to say 04:00pm π Kor/#tunes is AWAY now, working on program ωνω SignOff tcn: #TUNES (soldering...) ωνω _QZ [brand@p0wer.qzx.com] has joined #tunes hey QZ er π Kor/#tunes is AWAY 04:50pm ωνω [kilroy] [identhecar@dialup-166.ksni.net] has joined #TUNES ωνω SignOff [kilroy]: #TUNES (I must suceed!) ωνω SignOff Kor: #TUNES (Ping timeout for Kor[pm-ppp89.triton.net]) ωνω SignOff dino_: #TUNES (ircII EPIC4pre2.001-NR8 -- Accept no limitations) ωνω dino_ [dino@pm-ppp189.triton.net] has joined #tunes ωνω SignOff dino_: #TUNES (Ping timeout for dino_[pm-ppp189.triton.net]) ωνω Kor [kor@pm-ppp28.triton.net] has joined #tunes abi?
