[19:14] Hi Bvowk [19:14] I'm on reddit programming front page again ;-) [19:16] nice.. [19:48] http://retrocode.blogspot.com/2008/12/what-can-you-write-in-128-bytes.html <- lol somebody just learned about the demoscene? :P [19:49] Join: flyduck joined #corewars [19:51] Hi flyduck [19:51] Evenant: that would be mine! [19:52] And it includes one of my own demos from 1999 [19:52] hi ! [19:52] yeah, i went looking for what you were talking about [19:52] i just giggled a little about the line [19:52] "it is becoming..." [19:53] woops [19:53] it has become! [19:53] anyway [19:56] I changed that bit a couple of times and decided to stick with becoming, not sure why now. [19:56] nah, it says 'has become' [19:56] i had to go back and look for a quote [19:56] for some reason i got the impression it was saying it was a new/upcoming thing though hehe [19:56] anyway i know what you meant :) [19:57] I first started watching PC demos around 1993, though I used to play around with demos on the Speccy and C64 before that [19:58] I remember wishing I could travel to Helsinki to take part in ASM'94 [19:59] It's a shame 256b.com disappeared [20:03] Has anyone got a favourite book about Artificial Life? [20:07] i don't have any D: [20:07] i also wish i could have attended demoparties in their heyday [20:08] but i am a big slacker who doesn't do anything useful with his life :P [20:09] i havent event finished my first AI-book [20:12] I think I only have one AI book. [20:31] MSG: Ping timeout: 240 seconds [20:34] what kinda stuff does it talk about? [20:34] i've an interest in the subject but not a base of knowledge from which to understand technical books [20:36] Join: johnkw joined #corewars [20:47] My AI book is pretty old [20:51] Learning networks, game playing trees, knowledge representation, understanding natural language, pattern recognition, machine vision [20:51] In my opinion, ALife is more interesting. [20:57] what's the technical difference between AI and Alife? :P [20:57] also, i'd like to learn more about NLP .. and i'm curious about that 'knowledge representation' [20:57] among others [20:57] one is looking to make machines do things that are hard for them to do.. the other is attempting to simulate life with machiens [20:58] the thing that sucks about AI is that if it works, it's not AI anymore [20:59] people just havent made recursions with enough complexity [21:00] mmm [21:01] the same could be said of alife -- if it 'works' it's not artificial [21:01] artificial in this sense appears to be something of a misnomer [21:01] 'constructed' might be better [21:02] how'd you like to succeed at alife only to observe that your constructs are atheists? :) [21:03] i'd be proud [21:03] hehe [21:03] at least it'd be slightly more ironic than rain on your wedding day [21:06] * Metcalf has to go to a wedding on Saturday :-/ [21:06] here's hoping it doesn't rain [21:06] or snow for that matter [21:07] Snow would be nice :-) [21:26] careful what you wish for, we just got a foot [21:26] and i got a flu..
