I would look out around this time

[sullen lynx]

[viral zodiac]

Holy cow

[digital spindle]

lol what is this scam

[open meteor]

no shit Sherlock

[wild thorn]

@mystic pagoda @potent yew can u two lock in and get this offer

[potent yew]

dude im trying to figure out backtracking rn

ive done 10 leetcode past day and a half working on more

[wild thorn]

i will track ur back if u dont lock in

[mystic pagoda]

lmk if you want me to show you some stuff

[mystic pagoda]

yeah i need mocks

[potent yew]

bro i understand subsets and combination sum

but combination sum 2 rly fucked me

[wild thorn]

fr?

how come

who taught u

or u tried to learn on ur own

[mystic pagoda]

wanna hop in a call

[potent yew]

learn on my own

[mystic pagoda]

i’ll show you ball

[potent yew]

im in a restaurant rn. tonight sure

[wild thorn]

yes

[wild thorn]

no

[mystic pagoda]

https://tenor.com/view/lebron-gif-4382226072817291094

[wild thorn]

u must let others teach u

u are too stupid for this

[potent yew]

ong

[mystic pagoda]

about to learn disjoint set/union find

[wild thorn]

good sheep

[mystic pagoda]

been putting it off

[wild thorn]

watch yourself get a bitwise problem T_T

@potent yew @iron abyss whats your hit counter, anything < 10 is ngmi

[iron abyss]

how

well when i had nc prem this wasnt a problem but now i just source through youtube

for dp i havent had an issue finding videos obviously tho

[iron abyss]

is that where you need to consider duplicates ||by skipping||

[potent yew]

yes

[iron abyss]

its easy to get that one once you see the solution i think but yeah deriving that on your own would be very difficult

i wouldnt have thought of that

[warm tiger]

why is this redacted

[mystic pagoda]

yeah sort and look at i-1

[iron abyss]

in case someone has 0 LC done

by sorting it and implementing that skip feature you still iterate through those duplicates and set off paths for their respective combinations generated, but you also set off the next path without that duplicated number (by skipping through all of them)

i could be spewing just straight nonsense/someone correct me but thats how i think of it now

[iron abyss]

maybe 3 i think

https://tenor.com/view/happy-wet-horse-gif-24513078

[mystic pagoda]

huh

[wild thorn]

u get around the block

[iron abyss]

wait am i remembering wrong i should look at it again

dont you still recurse paths with the duplicatse

or do you skip it entirely for any path

[mystic pagoda]

well it just continues if i == i-1

[iron abyss]

soz for wrong channel but

        uniq_combs = []
        curr_comb = []
        candidates.sort()

        def helper(i, candidates, curr_comb, uniq_combs, target):
            if sum(curr_comb) == target and sorted(curr_comb) not in uniq_combs :
                uniq_combs.append(sorted(curr_comb).copy()) # pass a copy
                return

            if sum(curr_comb) > target or i >= len(candidates):
                return

            curr_comb.append(candidates[i])
            helper(i + 1, candidates, curr_comb, uniq_combs, target)            
            curr_comb.pop()

            while i + 1 < len(candidates) and candidates[i] == candidates[i + 1]:
                i += 1
            helper(i + 1, candidates, curr_comb, uniq_combs, target)

        helper(0, candidates, curr_comb, uniq_combs, target)
        return uniq_combs

this is what i had

[iron abyss]

oh i used a while loop to iterate forward instead of a continue but yeah

[mystic pagoda]

why sorted(curr_comb)

^

[iron abyss]

oh yeah i kinda fiddled around there/was struggling on my initial attempt

thanks chat

okay i realized i dont need to pass in candidates and target since im not mutating those values/they remain constant

gg

[wild thorn]

must start coding in cpp

[iron abyss]

fr?

also @wild thorn uhhhh for interviews/in general do you do dp recursively or iteratively or does it depend on the problem. idk. any thoughts surrounding this

[wild thorn]

na bro do u what u want

tho i recommend getting good at 2 languages fs

pref python and cpp

no java and javascript ever

[wild thorn]

wtv is easier for me to code up first

ill also ask if the interviewer prefers top down vs bottom up and let him know i understand the tradeoffs of both

[lone scaffold]

yea ikr

[vital sleet]

dyk if for quant swe its worth learning anything but cpp

[wild thorn]

python too, ive seen some firms use java as well

[viral zodiac]

If SWE don’t work out you can always come live with me

[wild thorn]

Forever ngmi

[lone scaffold]

will you be my sugar daddy

[viral zodiac]

Yea

I’m broke but I’ll do my best

[lone scaffold]

🥹

[pallid jetty]

Where this

[wild thorn]

Everywhere

[pallid jetty]

Bruh

[iron abyss]

oh yeah fs i really wanna get into C++ stuff/im trying. build my next projects in it

but kk thank you for the dp thing

someone told me to learn bottom up just so i can understand the diff btw. the recursive overhead and whatnot

its still really hard/i got close to house robber today but i couldnt get the code

[mystic pagoda]

i personally always do recursive->memo->tab

hardest part is getting the recursive imo,

then memoization should be pretty straightforward if you have the pattern down

and then with memo, tabulation should also be pretty straightforward

[potent yew]

truth

[wet mulch]

@carmine coral im a mod now im gonna ban you

[carmine coral]

what the heck this is abuse of power

[lone scaffold]

wtf

[dusty bison]

ali got mod oh nah

Like do u need to traverse a matrix

And check if xyz exist or sum shit

[wild thorn]

blud thinks graph and matrix are same T_T

[mystic pagoda]

they’re same approach anyway that’s all i meant

Air gapped inference - so do you run the inference directly on prem / on consumer h/w ?

Anything interesting in that you guys are doing ? would love to know. Not looking for roles but curious - since building in similar domain.
