Oh no, the premise of money and capitalism, my only weakness.

So many low-hanging fruits. Unbelievable fruits. You wouldn’t believe how low they’re hanging.

Zero interest rate period, when the taps of investor money were wide open and spraying at full volume because literally any investment promising some sort of return was a better proposition than having your assets slowly diminished by e.g. inflation in the usually safe investment vehicles.

Or something to that effect, I am not an economist.

I can never tell, is there an actual 'experiment' taking place with an LLM-backend agent actually trying stuff on a working vm or are they just prompting a chatbot to write a variation of a story (or ten, or a million) about what it might have done given these problem parameters?

23-2Leaving something to run for 20-30 minutes expecting nothing and actually getting a valid and correct result: new positive feeling unlocked.

Now to find out how I was ideally supposed to solve it.

If nothing else, you've definitely stopped me forever from thinking of jq as sql for json. Depending on how much I hate myself by next year I think I might give kusto a shot for AOC '25

22-2 commentaryI got a different solution than the one given on the site for the example data, the sequence starting with 2 did not yield the expected solution pattern at all, and the one I actually got gave more bananas anyway.

The algorithm gave the correct result for the actual puzzle data though, so I'm leaving it well alone.

Also the problem had a strong map/reduce vibe so I started out with the sequence generation and subsequent transformations parallelized already from pt1, but ultimately it wasn't that intensive a problem.

Toddler's sick (but getting better!) so I've been falling behind, oh well. Doubt I'll be doing 24 & 25 on their release days either as the off-days and festivities start kicking in.

I mean, you could have answered by naming one fabled new ability LLM's suddenly 'gained' instead of being a smarmy tadpole, but you didn't.
