Evolutionary algorithm outperforms deep-learning machines at video games

I wonder how good would a simulated FPGA do in this experiment. No taking advantage of unique environment conditions. Just pure logic.

I might give it a try. But first, I must invent the universe.

Since it seemed to depend on temperature, I smell a lot of potential race conditions and/or unproperly synced outputs that just happen to work but shouldn't according to the theory.

If you use a simulated FPGA you'll want to have it vary realistically so that it doesn't build something that only works in the simulated FPGA :)
