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 :)

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/openevolve

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 what others think is possible. Go so hard friends think you're mad. That devs consuming your stuff think you're mad.

Create so much amazingly useful/helpful content and help so many people in so many ways that looking back in 1-2 years at the idea of working for anthropic would seem insane to you.

Sometimes we (I) might follow ideas over authority/authorship. e.g.: I'll happily read ai generated stuff all day long on topics I'm super into.

Do I have to be the instigator? Can someone else prompt/filter/etc. for me? I think so. They'll do it differently and perhaps better than me.

The innovation is novelty search, e.g. divergent rather than convergent optimization, paired with the capability that LLM genetic operators and representations unlock.

At least, that's my high-level take. google's alphaevolve is the same kind of thing but focused on convergent ga's (i think).

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 "a complex". I guess she did. Behavioral + genetic most likely.

It sucks. I'm too hard on my own kids, even after having clear-headed/rational conversations about it. It's not rational. Pure emotion boiling over.

I secretly wish to be deaf. I use headphones all the time. For decades. Too loud.

"Go consume this form-factor because it's better" has always bothered me.

Low cost, high capability, wide adoption, and the graph of each aspect continues to progress monotonically with each release.

> If you are wondering whether or not something counts as weird nonfiction, consider its weirdness. Modern mockumentaries do not work because there is no uncertainty; the documentary element is used to advance the plot, mug at the camera, key the viewer in.

I read this as: non-fiction elements in service of advancing the plot is a strike against.

Really, "weird nonfiction" is whatever the author wants it to be. The examples are a total grab bag IMHO.
