Loved part 2 even though couldn't find out the idea myself. When computer science fails but mathematics saves the day!!

I just completed "Garden Groups" - Day 12 (PART-1)- Advent of Code 2024. Couldn't solve part 2, didn't find any algorithm that is not messy. Maybe will give part 2 a try later!! #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/12

"Code should run as fast as necessary, but no faster; something important is always traded away to increase speed."

-- Richard E. Pattis

Something to keep in mind before rewriting in a "faster" language.

I just completed "Plutonian Pebbles" - Day 11 - Advent of Code 2024. First problem of this year which forced me to apply further optimization. Loved it! #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/11

I just completed "Hoof It" - Day 10 - Advent of Code 2024. Might be the easiest one this year! Could optimize more, but didn't feel the urge to do so as the size of the input was comparatively small!

I just completed "Guard Gallivant" - Day 6 - Advent of Code 2024. Part 2 was challenging, at least to me. And my solution runs in 1m22s! Compared to others, a very unoptimized solution indeed! Will try to find a better solution #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/6

I just completed "Ceres Search" - Day 4 - Advent of Code 2024. Couldn't find a better approach for part 1 than the naivest one, any suggestion is always welcome. #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/4

Well researched and insightful!
Wrote a blog after ages about solving Advent Of Code day 1 and about the missing function to calculate absolute value of integers in Golang.

Please give it a read and let me know your thoughts :)

Anyone participating in #AdventOfCode this year? Couldn’t finish it last year, but fingers crossed for this time! Last year it was python, planning to go with Go this time. Godspeed, fellow joiners!

I've created an initial Grumpy Machine Learners starter park. If you think you're grumpy and you "do machine learning", nominate yourself. If you're on the list, but don't think you are grumpy, then take a look in the mirror.

The RL (and some non-RL folks) starter pack is almost full. Pretty clear that the academic move here has succeeded

I made a thing!

I was playing around with the AT protocol and as a little experiment I made a website that visualises activity around Bluesky: nightsky.hctr.dev

It listens to all new posts and shows them as little stars across a night sky 🌃

Every star is someone, somewhere, posting something
Nightsky | hctr.dev
See live conversations from all over Bluesky as a dynamic night sky
