Notes from a mathemagician in Paris:

• When in doubt, drink a half bottle of wine. If further doubts arise, finish it.

• Body odour is all relative

• The internet is a big place you can find pictures that you never thought could exist, much less should exist.
• More random music: Click!
• We have begun breeding software. Evolutionary programming is proving to be quite the fruitful method of designing both new software and hardware/machines. The process involves creating an iterative algorithm to design a system that best suits the needs of a problem. Basically, it's like how people have bred animals and crops, they take the best ones of a certain generation, mix those up, and repeat. There are two really interesting parts to it that I see
• The first being that current engineers don't know how to reverse engineer evolutionary designed equipment. That means, they don't know how it works. So, if said piece of equipment fails, who is to blame? You can't very well blame the software which designed it, it's not like it can go to jail.
  
• The second being that we can start doing some really crazy things. One experiment was to for some really simple pieces of electronic equipment (all without a clock!) to be able to discern certain frequencies of sound. That's amazing if you think about it, because the only way up until now for a computer to do that is with a clock! Frequency is how many cycles per second the wave repeats, so how the hell can it do it without the main ingredient of time?
• Pulling a muscle in your neck sucks. Don't be like me and try to fix it, as you'll just end up pulling the other side too.
• Mensa is actually pretty hard to get into
• Why do men make more money than women? Because we ask for more raises: click!
• If you've done a Meyers-Briggs test, this is fun: click!
• I'm an INTJ by the way

I hope everyone is well, as I'm doing ok.
