GLIMPSE AT THE FRONT. "Using Artificial Intelligence to Write Self-Modifying/Improving Programs. The above programming code was created by an artificial intelligence program, designed to write programs with self-modifying and self-improving code. The program created the above result in 29 minutes. The programming language is brainfuck." https://lnkd.in/ddNuyJD View in LinkedIn

SHOWN VERSUS ACTUAL CODE. "Self modifying code is a phrase used to describe programs that are able to change themselves. Using self modifying code can make it harder to reverse engineer a program, largely because the ‘actual code may differ from that shown’. That is, the actual code that ends up executing may be different from the code that is first shown during disassembly." https://lnkd.in/dU6pj5j View in LinkedIn

MORE EFFICIENT. "Code that's capable of altering its own instructions while it's still executing has been around for a while. Typically, it's done to reduce the instruction path length and improve performance, or to simply reduce repetitively similar code. But for all intents and purposes, there are no self-aware, self-improving AI systems today." https://lnkd.in/dp3ZKye View in LinkedIn

FRAGMENT FROM NATURE for this and next weekend contemplates lateral or horizontal gene transfer. This has been a fly in the ointment for traditional Mendelian genetics. Along with the idea of engulfment of entire organisms in an extreme form of symbiosis that separately gave rise to the mitochondria and the chloroplast, horizontal gene transfer has significantly mucked up tidy vertical inheritance trees.

FROM DATA TO LAWS. "We have demonstrated the discovery of physical laws, from scratch, directly from experimentally captured data with the use of a computational search. We used the presented approach to detect nonlinear energy conservation laws, Newtonian force laws, geometric invariants, and system manifolds in various synthetic and physically implemented systems without prior knowledge about physics, kinematics, or geometry." https://lnkd.in/dJJ9HmD View in LinkedIn

"SELF-MODIFYING CODE allows for code injection attacks such as “Stack smashing”, “Format string attacks” and many others. In these attacks, the injected code is written to a program’s memory as input data to which control is subsequently transferred. The majority of attacks of this kind are prevented today at the hardware level by marking writable memory pages as non-executable." https://lnkd.in/dHTSZ_H View in LinkedIn
