Outstanding! I cannot wait for a quake engine book. I'm sure a few hundred of us would be happy to pre-pay so you can take some time off work and write it all up :)

Agreed, not mentioned. Nevertheless, I see a link to github for the OpenEvolve project [1] that in turn states: > Open-source implementation of AlphaEvolve [1] https://github.com/algorithmicsuperintelligence/openevol

Great post. My gut reaction is something like: "don't wait around to be picked, get out there and do great stuff" Want to help the world get the most out of claude? Go out there and do it at an ability and velocity beyond wha

Hmm, it's more that LLMs can be used for population -> candidate solution generation, e.g. operators in a GA. The innovation is novelty search, e.g. divergent rather than convergent optimization, paired with the capability that LLM

I have it. Chewing is the worst. Any mouth noises. Throat clearing. Tounge clicking. And on. Mother had it. Sister has it. Father told off my mother for being so hard on us for our "noises" telling her she was going to give us &qu

You can brainwash yourself with some wild sh*t if you spend too long in the wrong heads/books. "Go consume this form-factor because it's better" has always bothered me.

My kids read plenty and I am indeed always telling them to "go talk to the LLM". It's more work than reading (I suspect), they have to engage more with the topic - ask good questions.

maybe this time really is different. Low cost, high capability, wide adoption, and the graph of each aspect continues to progress monotonically with each release.

Spirit is a blessing to the quake archive community. We'd be lost without him (and the people he inspires).

Wow, 13gb! If you have a backup of your hoard (midden?) on a dusty old HDD, maybe you have copies of some lost bot files buried in there: https://github.com/Jason2Brownlee/QuakeBotArchive/blob/main/...

Thank you kindly. I've dumped (wasted? invested?) many 100s of hours into the research of old quake bots, contacting the authors, trying out mods, parsing readmes, writing essays about them, etc. It's a type of hyperaddictive nost
