evolutionary algorithms are actually pretty stupid
They hold some world records on the density of packing.
If you held just one, would you call yourself stupid?
I guess not.
Just curious, as I’m not familiar with that particular problem: are any of those records on “density of packing per FLOP”, or just “density of packing”?
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
