Transmission 98001Z
Transmission 98001Z [secure line encoded]I am going to try to use my time effectively since we have a little down time. I know you mostly like thought my reorganizing my node was a waste of time but it wasn’t. It put prodded a couple of memories I needed. It reminded me of Albert. Yeah, Albert Shaw.
Okay, don’t retch or go into convulsions from whatever memories you are currently getting. Let’s focus on what I thought about.
Remember it was him that got us onto genetic algorithms? Remember we played around with GA to try different things.
Okay, I’ll refresh your memory! GA was a search technique back before the Matrix. It was used to find true or approximate solutions to optimization and search problems. I went a little ga-ga over the topic and spent some time while you dismissed it. I remember you making a comment about “if they ain’t using it now, it must be shit!”
It was when I used a simple GA program to crack the university’s password file you jumped on board. To the point where you thought you could use GA to “simulate” creativity.
Hold on, there is a reason for this! Because I then thought about Ciaran and his babbling about “what is old is new and what is new is old”.
GA is, for a while, used in cryptography. To break codes. Like I did with the password file. The shit I found from S-K may be a high-tech encrypt but there is always a back-door, often using something old.
I know you’ve been still fiddling with some ideas over the past while, trying to use GA to evolve Charlie but what if we use GA to try to crack the S-K codes.
I know, I know! It is computational intensive to run that kind of GA program. But a week or so ago, Grandpa Roy was telling me that the Planck Observatory was going off-line for some time for adjustments. Their processors will be down for some time, and they have the processing power since they are analysing all the telemetry and images from that telescope.
Using those processors, we could try some GA stuff on the files I downloaded from Chevron and maybe start cracking them. Unless they have upgraded the Planck facility, we can stealth in and steal some processor power.
What do you think?
