i speak in thoughts in my head and it is better to just translate those thoughts to code directly.
putting them into a language for LLMs to make sense and understanding the output is oof... too much overhead. and yeah the micromanagement, correcting mistakes, miscommunications, its shit
i just code like the old days and if i need any assistance, i use chatgpt
The LLM (GPT-4.1) suggests small code changes to improve compression ratio. Mutations are applied and tested on a real input file (big.txt). If the round-trip decompress fails, it's discarded. Everything is logged in a local SQLite DB.
Selection is dumb but effective: top 3 elites + 2 random survivors per generation. Each spawns 4 children. Repeat for N generations or until stagnation. At around 30 generations, I hit a compression ratio of 1.85×. Still decent, considering the starting baseline.
It's not a framework, it's not Pareto, and there's no multi-objective fluff. Just a tiny search loop hacking away at code. Curious if others have tried something similar with code-evolving setups.
i've been talking to chatgpt about rl and grpo especially in about 10-12 chats, opened a new chat, and suddenly it starts to hallucinate (it said grpo is generalized relativistic policy optimization, when i spoke to it about group relative policy optimization)
reran the same prompt with web search, it then said goods receipt purchase order.
absolute close the laptop and throw it out of the window moment.
what is the point of having "memory"?
i just typed the objective, it solved the game, stupid openai
