Researchers at the University of Sussex used genetic programming to evolve a sound-producing circuit. Unexpectedly, the evolutionary process exploited ambient electromagnetic signals, effectively turning the hardware into a radio receiver instead of the intended oscillator.
An interesting application of genetic programming. Two people at the University of Sussex wrote this genetic program to make a circuit produce sound. The circuit became a radio instead.
I shared a satirical article from The Onion about the RIAA suing radio stations for playing music. Even as a spoof, the aggressive copyright climate of 2002 made this scenario feel surprisingly plausible to me.
I explore the strange ubiquity of Peter Weinberger's face, which was etched onto everything from CDs and circuit boards to water towers, serving as a legendary inside joke within the Bell Labs and AWK communities.
I use Real Jukebox's Radio Tuner to access over 2,500 radio channels. It serves my interests in business talk and western classical music, providing a wide variety of streaming content for my daily listening.
I explored leadership insights from the Radio Free XP podcast, learning to announce plans early for alignment, provide actionable information instead of direct orders, and acknowledging the challenges of shifting company culture without being the boss.
Letting LLMs talk to each other creates surprisingly rich emergent behavior, from witty fictional banter to unsettling philosophical dialogues and useful synthetic interview formats.
