Wow, this got picked up on HN too. My roommate wrote this last year as a joke for CMU students. It's a simple script that pulls from a pre selected discrete set. Author is Alan Pierce btw.
be sure to reload the page a few times to get the right one :)
Makes me think of an article I read many years ago (in, I think, Mathematics Magazine) titled "Confusion Rings" which parodied abstract algebra papers. About all I remember now is "heterocococomorphism".

The script is trivial! Just view it as a concatenation of strings whose elements are pulled from a discrete set of terms.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
That's a non converging Monte-Carlo optimization with a constant cost function
Isn't Monte-Carlo non-converging by definition? If the algorithm converged it'd be a Las Vegas algorithm...
