Creepy Prescience of TAE

Yesterday I posted this suggesting Darwinian evolution of software was not only possible but potentially extremely useful in developing smarter software.

And then this morning I read this:

Working like natural selection, the [genetic algorithm] takes a population of random waveforms, mutates the "fittest" of them – in this case, those with lowest energy use – and then "interbreeds" the mutated forms to make new "offspring" waveforms. The process is then repeated through several "generations" until the optimal waveform is found.

I love being right.
