a great vid by Santa Fe's Stephanie Forrest about GenProg, a tool for automatic
software repair using genetic algorithms

( && GenProg: http://dijkstra.cs.virginia.edu/genprog/ )
made me think of the elegance of STEPS, the 60's, simplicity and what if this
approach was applied to hardware, not just to software (FPGA, RALAs,
Self-replicating machines...)
cheers!

Ps: made me think also of Bo Morgan's intriguing PhD thesis
