Administrative:

meeting time is returned to 1-3 for next week, but beyond that is up in the air

everyone should let Lee know when we are available in the spring semester, and if not, when we will know

Cluster testing / benchmarking / distributed Clojure:

Should we use a "cloud" clustery thing? ... meh

Why isn't our cluster doing the awesome? We're not sure, more cores is not appearing to help...

If clooj wont work launch stuff from a comandline with java.jar

Calculator Problem:

selection methods

-these are modal problems, and we need not to avg, but to look at the ones that work well in individual cases

--lexicase selection

--removeing redundant cases

--lexicase with small tournaments to determine which problems are valued

--lexicase which after narrowing down the pool for a correct in one section, will look for other correct combinations

--parito stuff

--start with simple problems and then once they solve you add new aspects to the problems, and you could tie cases together, randomly

--seeding

--lexicase stops the intelligence of evolution regarding prioritizing which part of the problem to chase

operators

-amalgamation

--walks through 2 parents and makes a child that roughly takes what is in the mama or papa or neither or both

-parenthesis adder

--can be added anywhere

-tagger

--randomly replaces chunks of code with a tag and moves that code chunk to tagspace

-if or tager

--makes an if or statement for two tags, and then fills them with random crap in the tagspace

Things to discuss:
 * Weighted lexicase selection
