night zinc I don't mind other people using AI. ~~The rules don't prohibit it either.~~

Can I use AI to get on the global leaderboard? Please don't use AI / LLMs (like GPT) to automatically solve a day's puzzles until that day's global leaderboards are full. By "automatically", I mean using AI to do most or all of the puzzle solving, like handing the puzzle text directly to an LLM. The leaderboards are for human competitors; if you want to compare the speed of your AI solver with others, please do so elsewhere. (If you want to use AI to help you solve puzzles, I can't really stop you, but I feel like it's harder to get better at programming if you ask an AI to do the programming for you.)

cyan sleet Dec 6, 2024, 12:35 AM

#

good god, I think I've run into a gforth bug or something

feral hazel Dec 6, 2024, 12:38 AM

#

oof what happened

cyan sleet Dec 6, 2024, 12:39 AM

#

writing to one cell in memory seems to write to 4 cells, so modifying one cell affects surrounding cells

#

like wtf

Create pred 20 cells allot

: main ( -- )
  pred 0 20 cells fill
  1 14 pred + !    \ write a 1 at offset 14
  12 pred + @ cr .  \ read 65536 at offset 12
  ;

main

feral hazel Dec 6, 2024, 12:42 AM

#

ah i used chars c@ and c!

#

for offset 14 for cells you can use 14 cells

cyan sleet Dec 6, 2024, 12:43 AM

#

so lookup and setting values uses different sizes?

#

oh

#

is the offset the issue? pithink

#

that would actually make some sense

feral hazel Dec 6, 2024, 12:44 AM

#

yeah cells gives number of address spaces for input cells

cyan sleet Dec 6, 2024, 12:44 AM

#

at least it's a trivial fix for how I wrote the code

: pred_at ( n1 n2 -- ptr ) 100 * + pred + ;

\ into

: pred_at ( n1 n2 -- ptr ) 100 * + cells pred + ;

#

this wasted so much time 😭

#

hours of debugging

feral hazel Dec 6, 2024, 12:48 AM

#

oof yeah it's like working with an array of ints but all you have is a char *

#

and you can't cast the initial pointer so you're doing int x = *(int *)(arr + i*sizeof(int))

cyan sleet Dec 6, 2024, 1:40 AM

#

it wasn't that bad

low condor Dec 6, 2024, 1:40 AM

#

I really struggled figuring out wtf to do, especially initially with GNU Smalltalk

#

With Pharo it was much easier but I did need ChatGPT to give pointers on what methods to use

#

actually the language is ok - I just don't enjoy it when there's a lack of good searchable resources on how to use specific stuff. I found Vimscript easier in this regard at least

cyan sleet Dec 6, 2024, 1:42 AM

#

forth kicked my ass

low condor Dec 6, 2024, 1:43 AM

#

literally never even heard of forth. Or elm for that matter

#

Awk I have heard of though

#

the other lesson I learned is that I really take good intellisense / LSP for granted

cyan sleet Dec 6, 2024, 1:45 AM

#

that's a big thing yes

it's fresh in some sense

low condor Dec 6, 2024, 1:49 AM

The Elf looks quizzically at you. Did you misunderstand the assignment?

Looking for the instructions, you flip over the word search to find that this isn't actually an XMAS puzzle; it's an X-MAS puzzle in which you're supposed to find two MAS in the shape of an X. One way to achieve that is like this:

M.S
.A.
M.S
Irrelevant characters have again been replaced with . in the above diagram. Within the X, each MAS can be written forwards or backwards.

Here's the same example from before, but this time all of the X-MASes have been kept instead:

.M.S......
..A..MSMS.
.M.S.MAA..
..A.ASMSM.
.M.S.M....
..........
S.S.S.S.S.
.A.A.A.A..
M.M.M.M.M.
..........
In this example, an X-MAS appears 9 times.

Flip the word search from the instructions back over to the word search side and try again. How many times does an X-MAS appear?

You are not allowed to use that command here. Please use the #aoc-bot-commands, #sir-lancebot-playground, #bot-commands channel(s) instead.

zinc kindle Dec 7, 2024, 7:36 AM

#

junior reef are external libraries allowed for aoc challenges?

Yes, 100%. you can use anything you want (except Gen AI I think)

#

Any language is allowed, all libraries are allowed. There's even the occasional problem where you'd want to do part of the problem (or all of it) by hand.
That said, if your primary goal for AoC is to grow as a programmer, then implementing algorithms instead of using a library or built in may help with that (but knowing how to find a pre-written function in a library is also a good programming skill)

junior reef Dec 7, 2024, 7:49 AM

zinc kindle Any language is allowed, all libraries are allowed. There's even the occasional ...

Yeah, trying to use AoC as a tool to grow and learn python, I was just curious, but for now attempting the most basic and native code I can

#

Still relatively new 😛

gritty gyro Dec 7, 2024, 7:57 AM

#

guys, a speculation on today's AoC:

#

(part 1) two possible operators, and if you have 11 numbers, that's 10 positions for operators, so only 2^10 = 1024 cases to check in total

#

so isn't brute force completely viable?

#

I'm sure it's gonna get much worse in part 2, but this is just my idea for part 1

#

I can't think of anything else

#

I'm guessing it's dp, but I don't understand how to use it here

compact wasp Dec 7, 2024, 8:01 AM

#

gritty gyro so isn't brute force completely viable?

yep

compact wasp Dec 7, 2024, 8:02 AM

#

fervent anchor holy shit i'm slow

same bro 😢

zinc kindle Dec 7, 2024, 8:03 AM

#

I used brute force, but in retrospect, there's a possible optimization: ||since you know that f(a,b) >= max(a,b) for both possible functions (assuming no negative inputs), if at one point (e.g. 5 operations out of 7) a number in your list is greater than the target, you know that final result > target, therefore final result != target, and you can stop early.||

compact wasp Dec 7, 2024, 8:03 AM

#

operations are also invertible

#

so you shouldn't recompute when backtracking

gritty gyro Dec 7, 2024, 8:05 AM

#

wait I just realized it said compute left to right

#

so then I can try thinking about algorithms

#

ok i just came up with a recursive algorithm that counts the number of ways you can get the target number

#

but I don't see how this is different from brute force lol

#

well actually yeah I can prune some cases with this

gritty gyro ||```rust fn rec(target: i32, nums: &[i32]) -> usize { let len = nums.len()...

fwiw, it would be more efficient to take sub-slices instead of building a new vec with the same items: ```rs
&nums[..nums.len()-1]

gritty gyro Dec 7, 2024, 10:34 AM

#

ohh I didn't even know rust had subslices 💀

covert arrow Dec 7, 2024, 10:35 AM

a slice is essentially a pointer to the first item and the length, so it's pretty straightforward to create sub-slices which point to smaller regions of the same data

lol... my solution for pt2 from last night ran in 1.44s and felt a bit brute-forcey (though I don't know how I would make it not feel that way), so just now I thought, hey, let's see if ChatGPT can get it running faster. I fed it my solution and told it to optimize it. Now it runs 4x longer. 🙄👎

oh god, the definition of antinodes today makes me a bit sad

naive wharf Dec 8, 2024, 12:14 PM

daily life pro tip: you can declare an enum in one line like this

option1, option2, option3, [...], optionN = range(N)

as in

identifier, number, symbol, eof = range(4)

cyan sleet Dec 8, 2024, 12:14 PM

being in line is not a requirement at all

naive wharf daily life pro tip: you can declare an enum in one line like this ```py option1,...

personally I would use an enum

naive wharf Dec 8, 2024, 12:14 PM

#

cyan sleet personally I would use an enum

depends on what you want/need

#

and how long you want to spend on the declaration

cyan sleet Dec 8, 2024, 12:34 PM

#

cyan sleet being in line is not a requirement at all

actually it's worse, it also contradicts itself

#

any point that is perfectly in line with two antennas of the same frequency - but only when one of the antennas is twice as far away as the other
contradicts
This means that for any pair of antennas with the same frequency, there are two antinodes, one on either side of them.

#

that does not follow from that definition

#

e.g.

a...#.a
```or

a......
..#....
.......
......a

#

so a bunch of configuration should have 4 antipodes

#

e.g.

...#..a##a..#...

silent moat should i do adventofcode as a beginner?

Yes!

#

The first days are perfectly geared to beginners

silent moat Dec 8, 2024, 7:30 PM

alright, thanks!

#

tbh im getting information overloaded, at the same time i have no idea what path i wanna go down

Quick question, is it fine if i know how to solve something but not certainly know the syntax of it so i search? i mean i guess it helps me learn i js feel non accomplishment when i do something like this lol

yeah, perfectly fine
one's skill in programming is about reasoning and creativity, not memorization. I look up stuff all the time.

isnt day 1 the easiest of them all, i feel like in that case i should just work more on my programming skills before i get into it, or is that not the case

low condor Dec 8, 2024, 7:52 PM

Not really - you can use this to improve your programming skills

#

You don’t need to know more than the basics to do day 1, really

silent moat Dec 8, 2024, 7:53 PM

#

oh

tender swallow Dec 8, 2024, 7:54 PM

#

the problems do get harder, and day 1 is supposed to be the easiest
but yeah, this is a great opportunity to build your skills. you're faced with something you can't solve, so try more.

silent moat Dec 8, 2024, 7:54 PM

#

idk why it feels impossible

#

my first extinct is to go to gpt

low condor Dec 8, 2024, 7:54 PM

That’s probably not the best if you want to actually learn

weary topaz Dec 8, 2024, 7:54 PM

(If you want to use AI to help you solve puzzles, I can't really stop you, but I feel like it's harder to get better at programming if you ask an AI to do the programming for you.)

tru

i mean ofc i wont, my skidding days are over

Cool

anyways ill go try and solve the first day

#

thanks for the help

tender swallow Dec 8, 2024, 7:56 PM

#

silent moat my first extinct is to go to gpt

if you can't do day 1 at all, my suggestion is to just not think of GPT as even an option. having it as a fallback in your mind tempts you to not build any skills or actually develop your thinking.

How much knowledge of Python features do you know so far, out of interest?

silent moat Dec 8, 2024, 7:58 PM

#

low condor How much knowledge of Python features do you know so far, out of interest?

i have recently finished this 12h course that goes over basically all the base stuff, some stuff i have forgotten though.
Like maps

low condor Dec 8, 2024, 7:58 PM

#

If you’ve done a basic course then you are ready for this

#

You should have probably 80% of the knowledge you need and then 20% you probably need to Google for

#

But the only way to actually truly get familiar with coding is to start coding

#

Here’s not the place to discuss solutions

depends on the OS, on Windows with tkinter and PIL probably very doable, but again, this is not a help channel (at least definitely not for that kind of stuff), so you should go and either ask in #python-discussion or #1035199133436354600, also make sure to read #❓｜how-to-get-help

I know including your personal puzzle input within repo's is discouraged, but does that also apply to the example inputs given in each day's problem statement?

Yes, that’s part of the puzzle text

Can I copy/redistribute part of Advent of Code? Please don't. Advent of Code is free to use, not free to copy. If you're posting a code repository somewhere, please don't include parts of Advent of Code like the puzzle text or your inputs. If you're making a website, please don't make it look like Advent of Code or name it something similar

Right, I saw that, I guess I just wasn't sure if the example inputs counted as part of the puzzle text.
