Genetic algorithm car race thingy

FlowingData

From the oldie-but-goodie department, this fun program uses a genetic algorithm to drive car thingies across a bumpy terrain. In case you’re unfamiliar, a genetic algorithm creates mutations in a population of objects or systems. The algorithm keeps going until you get an optimized point. Change parameters.

Algorithmic road trip to visit a street named after each day of the year

FlowingData

He used OpenStreetMap to find the streets and then algorithmically routed a trip. via Waxy ] Tags: algorithm , Ben Ashforth , OpenStreetMap , road trip Ben Ashforth set out to visit a street named after a day of the year for each date. Then he followed through and went on the trip. See a photo for every day here.

Animated map shows the search for the best path

FlowingData

When you look up directions with a mapping application, there are algorithms that run to find the shortest route. Jan Pánek made an interactive map that animates the search with various algorithms. Tags: algorithm , Jan Pánek , Path Click the map for an origin and destination, and then watch it play out.

Two Case Studies on Midjourney’s Consistency in Character Imaging

Towards AI

The good news is that Midjourney has recently launched a new algorithm. Whether you’re working with the MJ6 or Niji6 model, this algorithm ensures the “consistency” of your character images. I plan to test this using two character types: a cat and a girl, to evaluate the actual effectiveness of this algorithm.
