Quote: Evolutionary computation has been promising self-programming machines for 60 years
They never said it will be soon.

Exactly - it took 4 billion years to produce smart humans and that seems to have been an unstable and temporary achievement.

AI source code for evolutionary computation:

The real problem comes when the machines learn psychology and start programming humans That should be interesting to watch!

I once built an A
I system based on fuzzy reasoning. It worked very well for theproblem I was tavckling.
Thr result of satisfying a fuzzy rule was to execute some command. I worked out a method for the command to result in modifying the fuzzy rules, thus creating a sysatemm thatt optimized itself. Unfortunately that's when funding for the project was cut.
Msybe someday that will be my hobby.

Well, about 23 years ago, I created an expert system based on fuzzy logic.
I
t was basically PROLOG using fuzzy logic rather than boolean logic. The result of matching a fuzzy rule was to execute a command. I designed a modification where the command could modify the fuzzy rules. That would have created a self modifying system. Unfortunately, at that point the funding for the project was cut, so I stopped work on it.
MKaybe someday, that will be a nice hobby. I was thinking of sapplications in robotics , etc.

Isn't that like every bit coin miner in existence; only all those other companies are actually selling miners by the datacenter load?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

As someone who worked at Microsoft for seventeen years, it is incredible to see Windows demoted to a product without a seat at the highest table. Well, it's not like anyone uses it, do they?

My first reaction was "and why should I believe a 17 year old?"

It says 17 year veteran, so if he worked at Microisift for 17 years, he's likely in his 30's if he went to college first or at least graduated fron hbigh school at age 18. If he went straight from high school to work at Microcruft, that would be impressive but after 17 years hewould be at least 35.

The company says that new and anonymous users won’t be able to create links through the goo.gl console as of April 13th, but existing users will be able to use it for another year, after which it will be discontinued completely. "And another one gone and another one gone. Another one bites the dust."

Eight years before the first iPhone was released in 2007, science fiction writer David Gerrold was asked to write a column on the future of computing for a now-defunct magazine called Sm@rt Reseller. So, where's my tea? Earl Grey. Hot.
