Adam OnzaImagine a simulated anxiety #metaheuristic, similar to simulated annealing, but for a population potential solutions, or partial solutions, that might work together. (That might be a daft part) Wrong answers cause their anxiety to rise, which makes them seek more extraordinary solutions. Right answers make them Muntz themselves, trying to remove extra stuff.π€
I wanted to find all the line numbers of subway.bas, quick and easy, but some had multiple occurrences in the data.
So, I turned to #metaheuristic methods! I wrote a quick & dirty genetic algorithm to search for sequences of indexes of possible line numbers, where all(d>c for c,d in zip(e,e[1:]))
In only several dozen generations of a population of 10k, not much time at all, it found a solution.πΆοΈ Maybe.π¬ With minimal thinking! xD #compsci
