[Kory] is using genetic algorithms to write computer programs, and in the process bringing us one step closer to the Singularity. The first experiments with genetic algorithms generating ...

We call a list of instructions an algorithm. The list of instructions we give to a computer is called a computer program. It is a special type of algorithm that a computer can understand.

This step-by-step program will need planning, and to do this we use an algorithm. Computers are only as good as the algorithms they are given. If you give a computer a poor algorithm, you will get ...
