Estimating the Energy Cost of (Artificial) Evolution
This short discussion paper sets out to explore the question: what is the energy cost of evolving complex artificial life? The paper takes an unconventional approach by first estimating the energy cost of natural evolution and, in particular, the species Homo Sapiens Sapiens. http://mitpress.mit.edu/sites/default/files/titles/content/alife14/ch143.html

Computer Engineering “Prerequisites”
Based on my last post, I determined MIT’s OpenCourseWare project does not contain a desirable level of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering courses to fulfill a curriculum. Therefore to continue on my path to a free education I decided to look first at basic institution requirements for Computer Engineering and then look for other platforms …
Computer Science and Engineering Curriculum Through Open Courses?
I have been interested in going back to school for some time now, but have been stuck weighing the benefits against additional student debt. I was curious to determine how much of the curriculum could be accomplished through open courses and self-directed learning. I took the EE/CS curriculum, and cross referenced MIT’s OpenCourseWare to identify …
