What about AlphaEvolve / OpenEvolve https://github.com/codelion/openevolve? It has a more structured way of improving / evolving code, as long as you setup the correct evaluator.

Did you read the post?

> CZI has promised a parting gift totaling $50 million to the community. Parents were told students will receive $1,000 to $10,000 for their future education based on age, and the school district received $26.5 million in grant funds last month. The district declined to comment for this article.

And after the end of the 2025-2026 school year is far from overnight.

Cool idea. But as a red/green color blind person, I have no way to figure out what is positive/negative in the graphs.

Requires machines with strong GPUs, which are probably very limited, even for big cloud providers. Also, using cloud hardware for mining is against most terms of services, and I guess they can figure out and stop it fairly quickly.

Not a user of Reloadr, but hot code reloading is a big thing on my Java development process. There are servers and use cases that take a long time to start or setup, and having the possibility to debug -> edit code -> re-execute a specific method using the same context goes a long way.

For production usage, maybe that wouldn't be considered safe, but there are companies that provide services with this purpose (e.g. JRebel).
