Due to family medical issues, Requiem is on indefinite hiatus.
An elderly family member of ours took a bad fall on Labor Day night, and we’ve been dealing with the aftermath ever since. Hopefully, things will get sorted out, but as of right now, doing a daily comic is not something my schedule can allow.
Sorry to have this happen, but as everyone knows, real life comes first….and at least we don’t have too many running storylines on the backburner.
Genetic Programming, t’was a big thing in the late ’90’s. They never could get it to work for software though, much more successful for hardware, where the early successes were. Part of the demise of Lucent/Bell Labs.
ALSO, that’s technology that *she* has working for her.
A famous old story:
A company built an awesome prototype fighter plane. I won every fly-off and no other fighter/interceptor could beat it. At stake was a multi-billion dollar production contract. The generals were very impressed and they all agreed that the plane won the fly-off by leaps and bounds and the contracts were signed.
However, one key clause made the entire project fail; the company had to build five more of the plane with identical performance before the production run could commence. The company was never able to duplicate the performance of the prototype.
