How to interpret Kevin Kelly s Out of Control .

I've seen it, it's a classic, and I don't regret it, I just found the pdf version here.

Ready to buy a book, I feel that the thoughtful book should take a look, have you read The Matrix? This is one of the three must-read books for all.

I'm on the way, and I believe these two days will come.

I actually recently read the book "Out of Control", and I have my own opinions about this book.

We've applied engineering to make the most complex machines possible. Today, we are faced with projects ,-- tens of millions of lines** of software programs, communication systems that cover the globe, factories that have to adapt to rapidly changing global buying habits and update equipment in a matter of days, and cheap robots that can only be managed by evolution. Due to the inherent limitations of human understanding, we are unable to fill in a lot of detail with something we have never seen, and we may have a moment of reverie, but our minds will quickly slide back to the natural form we are familiar with.

Evolution, on the other hand, is a violent wild horse that takes us beyond the reach of man. Evolution, as a tool, is particularly applicable to the following three things: how to get to the realm where you want to go but can't find the way; how to reach areas you can't imagine; How to break new ground.

Evolution is stripped from the living world and exists in a purely digital form, and the important essence of evolution is transferred from the innate world to the artificial world, from the carbon world to the silicon world. Evolution is a natural technology that can be easily translated into computers**, and it is this super compatibility between evolution and computer applications that will drive artificial evolution into our digital lives.

Through artificial evolution, it is possible to obtain equations or algorithms to solve specific problems, such as finding an equation that can manipulate the movement of robots; the program of making a broom stand upright on a motor-controlled skateboard; strategies for getting out of the maze; Optimize the shortest path to connect many cities. The complexity of all distributed systems, including the Internet, military systems, global 24-hour financial networks, and much larger computer networks, tests our ability to control them. "The complexity of programming a massively parallel machine may be more than we can handle.

Tom. "I don't think we'll ever be able to write software that takes full advantage of the power of parallel processing," Ray said.

The above is my own opinion on the book "Out of Control", welcome**.
