Take it away, Jason.

Hey, so it's been a little bit of a delay since the last show, but we were both really busy

doing some pretty awesome stuff.

I went to conference, the Gecko Conference in Ireland.

That tops my excuse of doing random chores around the house. But okay, fine, be a show off. I think you had a house, house tasterfita tend to. Oh, yeah, I just had a little bit of water stuff on my wall. Get to learn how to fix it, not just a nerd, but a little bit of a hand-in-man. Did you use like instructables or anything like that or do you just

have natural yeah just google like how to fix water damage on your wall oh yeah this goes back to our talk

a couple episodes again you've probably used youtube and saw somebody else exactly yeah so it's pretty

it's actually fairly straightforward it's just hard to match the texture because have all this industrial equipment they use when they do it initially. And then it's really hard to make it look like that again. Yeah, like because when they paint your walls, they like spray and so blotches show up. But when you use a brush, it's like you get streaks instead. Or it's like smooth or yeah, yeah yeah but anyways yeah boring okay Ireland so

so yeah Ireland was great the conference is awesome um I went the conference was Gecko which

stands for genetic evolutionary computation conference and uh so it's a bunch of guys who

were interested in uh genetic algorithms and neuro evolutionolution, which is my focus. And it's basically

a way to sort of get computers to, you know, through trial and error to sort of adapt to their

environment. So, you know, in the same way as we adapted as human beings and plants and animals

continue to adapt today to their environment.

You know, do we want to write computer programs that, you know, might not really know the

answer right away, but through adaptation, you know, two parent programs can make a baby program

that's a little bit better at solving the task.
