TEXT SEARCH PREDICTION. "IF YOU start typing something into Google, it tries to guess what you’re looking for. Type “Wi,” and it might suggest “Wikipedia.” PLINY will index massive amounts of opens source code gathered from the web to power a prediction engine that the researchers hope will be able to predict what coders are about to type." https://lnkd.in/d42vHmf View in LinkedIn

MOD 94 TERRAIN. "Malbolge was designed to be the most difficult language to program in. Not surprisingly, it uses self-modification as one of its tools to do this. After each command is run in Malbolge, it “encrypts” itself, changing to the same command mod 94 (each command is an encoded number). Many of the resulting commands do nothing, but some are functional." https://lnkd.in/dScXnfT View in LinkedIn

KEY PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE. "Self-modifying Brainfuck, also known as SMBF, is a variant of brainfuck by Simon Howard, which allows a program to modify its own source code." https://lnkd.in/dgayvgB View in LinkedIn

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

JIT COMPILATION. "A trend in software that peaked with Sun’s Java language, was the notion of just-in-time compilation." https://lnkd.in/dHTSZ_H View in LinkedIn

EQUIVALENT OF SEX. "Thus, in prokaryotes, HGT plays the same role of preventing mutational meltdown that in eukaryotes is played by meiotic sex." (HGT = horizontal gene transfer). https://lnkd.in/dSemZpD View in LinkedIn

GENE GAIN EXCEEDS GENE LOSS. "Quantitatively, however, horizontal gene transfer (HGT) dominates microbial evolution, with the rate of gene gain and loss being comparable to the rate of point mutations and much greater than the duplication rate." https://lnkd.in/dSemZpD View in LinkedIn

PROTECTION. "The model shows that, thanks to the stochastic nature of the mutation process, protection from the ratchet is achievable despite the fact that environmental DNA that comes from dead microbes on average has a higher mutational load than the DNA of living recipient cells." https://lnkd.in/dSemZpD View in LinkedIn

OFFSETTING THE RATCHET. "The only route of actual escape from Muller’s ratchet appears to be gene acquisition via HGT resulting in either displacement of a mutated gene by a functional copy or gain of new genes that offsets the deleterious effects of accumulating mutations." (HGT = horizontal gene transfer). https://lnkd.in/dSemZpD View in LinkedIn

LAW OF THE RATCHET. "Demise caused by Muller’s ratchet appears to be the typical fate of bacteria that are confined to intracellular parasitism or symbiosis, although the ratchet can be slowed down by lowering the mutation rate." https://lnkd.in/dSemZpD View in LinkedIn
