AlphaEvolve couples map-elites with LLMs. It's an key step in machine learning, in the vein of DQN for reinforcement learning.
AE brings diversity from the genetic algorithms community to large scale optmized deep learning and RL models.
It is a mandatory step for moving forward. The approach is clean and simple, while generic.
The only caveats is the per optimization problem definition of the map élites dimensions. But surely, this will get tackled somehow over the next few years.
If you don't know about map-elites, go look up Jean-Baptiste Mouret' s work and talks, it's both very interesting and universal.
Hello! Not commenting on content or functionality. Scheduling in AI is a very dense field. An a past researcher in AI decision making, I got confused by the 'Scheduling solved' slogan.
FYI recent AI for scheduling include GNNs and RL applied to NP and P-space problems that plague many industries. A larger scope I believe from vela's (rightful) target, a bit confusing IMO. Good luck with your endeavor, all scheduling problems are beautiful :)
I like the glasses path, well I do wear glasses, but some elements remain unclear to me:
- are prescription glasses available for display ? I guess not ?
- these glasses need to be online, I guess they do so with a phone and bluetooth connection nearby ? So that's the glasses, the band and the phone, oh and the glasses case, seems a lot to carry.
- pedestrian navigation seems to be rolled out per city, so it's not like having gmaps available right out of the box.
Congrats, this solution resembles AlphaEvolve. Text serves as the high-level search space, and genetic mixing (map-elites in AE) merges attemps at lower levels.
Confidence is the key, but it is sometimes out of reach, even if only momentarily.
So rationalizing is one way: about competition first, it doesn't matter (really, like... really), whatever you are doing with focus will end up different than what others do (the state space is too large), and the rest is not within your hands. No need to worry then, it's a recurrent, automatic, bad habit.
Now, overall and most useful I believe, what we are doing in tech does not matter, it'll be outdated in months, years, whatever. What matters is the people we are working and spending time with. People first, tech second.
Good luck, serenity is within reach, especially in tech, it's a matter of body and mind working well together.
Oh and exercising is fundamental, walk, run, dance, jump, ...
