Comment on: Creating an AI that writes and improves programs

He could have still done this in C++ much faster and had it spit out source code that would compile. Compiling source code over and over again is way too slow for evolutionary programs. I wrote a neural network program in C++ that would spit out C++ source customized for the structure of the net in an attempt to speed up net execution by avoiding loops.

Comment on: It would be cool if someone built a system/protocol that could reduce jpeg transmission sizes by comparing parts of image to a local catalog.

There's a buttload of possible/probable jpegs so you would need a very very large catalog and you'd have to have that catalog on every computer that would look up your string index. If every computer had to download the catalog, which would probably be terabytes or larger in size, then that would defeat the purpose.
