Не пики, а бассейны: почему эволюция — это блуждание по графу жизни

Каждый, кто хоть раз открывал школьный учебник биологии или читал научно-популярные статьи об искусственном интеллекте, сталкивался с классической и завораживающей метафорой: ландшафт приспособленности (fitness landscape).Нам рисуют трёхмерную топографическую карту. На ней есть низины (плохие, нежизнеспособные комбинации генов), пологие склоны и величественные вершины — так называемые пики приспособленности. Популяция организмов или агентов генетического алгоритма изображается в виде кучки альпинистов. Ведо Read more

Как Gemini 3.5 Flash сломали ради красивых графиков (и почему она обходит 3.1 Pro только на бумаге)
