CREATE POPULATION EVALUATE FITNESS MUTATE REPRODUCE Randomly-initialized strings can eventually converge to meet a target string over several iterations of a random optimization algorithm over a large set of candidates. Evaluate how close each candidate is to the optimum Evaluate Fitness Initialize a collection of pseudrandom candidates Create Population Create a new candidate for the next generation Reproduce Mutate the new candidate so we can further optimize Mutate Genetic Algorithms

Ant Colony Optimization Traveling Salesman 1 Drop an “ant” at a random city. Random Starting Point 2 The ant visits each city in turn at random, weighted by the attractiveness of each destination. “Attractiveness”-based Route 3 An ant deposits pheromone on each edge it travels, with an amount inversely proportional to the total distance travelled in its route. Calculate Pheromone Trail 4 The total pheromone for the next iteration is part left over from the first and part added to by the ants - repeat all steps until we converge. Evaporate and Repeat

I'm an avid photographer, and I'm primarily found shooting with my DSLR or my instant film camera that I carry around for casual use. While nothing beats my DSLR in power and convenience, there's something magical about my instant film camera. Perhaps it's that you're shooting on actual film, or maybe it's that every shot you take is a unique physical artifact (which is special in today's world of Instagram and Facebook, where photos are a dime a dozen). All I know for sure is that they are incredibly fun to use and peoples' eyes light up when you pull one of these out at a party.
