WINWINWIN: python is almost the best for clash of code, second only to ruby.
cegprakash: hey someone sent me an awesome video on alpha beta pruning in the past
cegprakash: and I missed it
cegprakash: does someone has that link
cegprakash: I think struct shared me that link
PatrickMcGinnisII: I haven't seen one, sry
cegprakash: found it
cegprakash: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-hh51ncgDI
cegprakash: looks like I had it in my youtube playlist :D
Andriamanitra: does ruby have something equivalent to python's [::2]
DeWill: Still it have many other advantage....
Andriamanitra: i know, i love ruby but i'm doing some insanely convoluted stuff just to get every nth character of a string
Andriamanitra: i guess s.each_char.select.with_index{|c,i| i%2==0}.join is about good as it gets, not as nice as simple s[::2]
Klient: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51697394/capitalize-every-nth-character-of-each-word-in-a-string-in-ruby
Andriamanitra: yeah that's what i was looking at
Andriamanitra: i found a little bit shorter way though, not sure if as readable: s.chars.values_at(*0.step(s.length-1,2)).join
OhayouWIbu: hello guys
WINWINWIN: Hi
Thyl: Yo !
tie: hi
DomiKo: hi
TIE: iam new
DomiKo: heloo
DomiKo: how u doing?
TIE: good
TIE: what about you?
DomiKo: just reading
DomiKo: need to read sth to improve mcts
jacek: good afternoon
DomiKo: hii

rubber_duckie: is discord down everywhere? or is it just my country
rubber_duckie: almost every website i try to access is down today...
tomatoes: works
Andriamanitra: some of these clash problems are insane
Andriamanitra: 7 players and everyone got 0% :laughing:
DomiKo: 7 players but are they good players?
MSmits: hey guys
DomiKo: hi ;)
MSmits: I have a question
DomiKo: uuu
MSmits: how do I store data as characters in the IDE
MSmits: using their byte encoding
MSmits: everyone who's ever done a NN here knows thi
MSmits: but i cant find any examples
MSmits: 2 bytes per character
DomiKo: hmmm
MSmits: in c++ specifically. I have been able to make something work in C#
MSmits: long time ago though
MSmits: say i have a 16 bit integer
tomatoes: 2 bytes as unicode codepoint => utf8 character
MSmits: yes how do i do that
DomiKo: wchar?
MSmits: o idea
MSmits: n
tomatoes: manual shifts and ors 👀
MSmits: I dont mean the bits part
MSmits: i mean how to write an actual 16 bit integer as a single character
DomiKo: so if i understand what you mean
DomiKo: you can use
DomiKo: u32string
DomiKo: read normal string
DomiKo: and then using this magic stuff
MSmits: doesnt that use 4 bytes per character?
DomiKo: wstring_convert<codecvt_utf8<char32_t>, char32_t> conv;
DomiKo: hmm you need 16
DomiKo: hmmm
MSmits: the IDE understands 16 max
MSmits: i think
MSmits: basically what i want is to be able to offline put data into characters, paste the code into the IDE and when it runs, convert it back to data
MSmits: so that i can make maximum use of codesize
MSmits: IDE allows 100k characters, 2 bytes per character
tomatoes: ide count 3byte utf8 as 1 character
MSmits: 3??
MSmits: interesting, so i can store even more data then?
tomatoes: no
tomatoes: too many control bits
MSmits: man... I wish someone wrote a guide about how to do this
tomatoes: encoding in python chr(int16).encode(‘utf-8’) should work. but dont know about c++
MSmits: hmm and how to get it back from utf-8 back to int16?
tomatoes: check utf8 wiki page
tomatoes: 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
MSmits: ok will do thanks
tomatoes: x’s are writable, 10 fixed
tomatoes: and 4 bytes utf8 count as 2 symbols in ide, kinda useless
RoboStac: I use https://github.com/Parkayun/base65536 for encoding and then have c++ code to decode it
MSmits: thanks Robo, will check that out
RoboStac: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/82733bd9-0058-4500-8828-3bdc0fce1535
MSmits: ohh nice c++ code even
derjack: msmits doing NN? :scream:
eulerscheZahl: or a larger opening book
MSmits: non NN no
MSmits: openingbook is one of the things yes
MSmits: not sure what else. It's just something I've wanted to know how to do
tomatoes: it seems base65536 use 4 bytes utf8 too. which are not good for CG
derjack: endtables?
MSmits: those too derjack, can use those for bandas
MSmits: for oware too, but i've found that the tables you generate in the first second are bigger than the ones that fit into codesoze
MSmits: codesize
MSmits: not sure how it is for bandas
MSmits: codesize = max 5 seeds i think, i do 6 seeds generating them in 1st second
derjack: or make endtables into c++ std and #include those *_*
Astrobytes: #include <win>
MSmits: if that were possible :)
tomatoes: too suspicious
wlesavo: #include <top3bot>
eulerscheZahl: tomatoes 03:12PM
it seems base65536 use 4 bytes utf8 too. which are not good for CG
CG counts chars, not bytes for the code size limit
tomatoes: i checked in golf mode and some symbols count as 2
tomatoes: 𒄠
MSmits: probably because they are more than 2 bytes
tomatoes: for example
MSmits: so are you saying that this base65536 thingy sometimes converts 2 bytes to something that counts as more than 1 character?
tomatoes: i think it works but possible to compress better
RoboStac: it may well be possible to be better, but it was a massive improvement over base85 and didn't require much thought :)
MSmits: hmm but if you need the full range of 16 bit integers you will always need characters that require more than 2 bytes right?
MSmits: because of control characters and whatnot?
eulerscheZahl: but as how many chars does this count? ̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤̤
MSmits: oh noes
eulerscheZahl: :rofl:
MSmits: *euler trollmode off
eulerscheZahl: deep inside i'm still a little child
tomatoes: i'm not sure but it seems cg counts 1-2-3 bytes utf8 as 1 character and 4 bytes utf8 as 2 characters
MSmits: true euler
MSmits: thats weird tomatoes
Astrobytes: chat vandal!
eulerscheZahl: gotta enjoy the last days of trolling before the new mods get added
tomatoes: 3 bytes utf8 has 16 "free" bit. and 4 bytes utf8 has 21 free bits (or 10.5 per character)
Astrobytes: :D
MSmits: makes sense then tomatoes
tomatoes: i dont know how cg counts it inside, but random 4 bytes gives "code size: 2"
tomatoes: and random 3 or less always code size: 1
RoboStac: it would explain why I've struggled to work out exactly how big to make networks that'll fit
tomatoes: https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+12120 that weird glyph
RoboStac: and instead just keep shrinking them until cg stops complaining
RoboStac: never thought of checking on code golf though
tomatoes: hmm. what if golf and submit count all this things differently :thinking:
tomatoes: i checked only golf
RoboStac: it does seem to match - code golf says my othello is 95000
RoboStac: and I knew it was close
RoboStac: whereas wc says its 78k chars / 193000 bytes
derjack: do you use some compression?
MSmits: RoboStac do i understand correctly that I have to print my integers as 8 bit ascii characters that it then encodes into unicode characters?
MSmits: "ab" seemed to be turned into one character wheras "abc" became 2
RoboStac: on the python encoding side I'm passing a bytearray in, not ascii
MSmits: ah ok, but i am not using python so it will be reading a file
RoboStac: yeah, but is it a binary file? encoding text makes no sense
jacek: well i encode opening book which is text into unicode
jacek: saves exactly 2x space
MSmits: i am not sure what a binary file is compared to a text file tbh
MSmits: i have always worked with text files
jacek: print("ab".decode("utf-16")) becomes some chinese char
MSmits: 靡
MSmits: ?
jacek: yes. and c++: wstring text = L"..."
MSmits: what does that dp ?
MSmits: do
jacek: for (auto & c : text) {
normal_text += (char)(c&255);
normal_text += (char)(c>>8);
}
MSmits: yeah thats what i was thinking
MSmits: c is 16 bit ?
jacek: so you have wstring text = L"䔱㝆噄㙳䔾乏嵑獠䌱噆䐶慗" and decode into string normal_text and do whatever you waznt
jacek: actually i dont know o.O. i think
jacek: or is it wchar
MSmits: well it looks like 16 bit the way you are shifting it
jacek: as long as it works, i dont care
jacek: *ML expert*
MSmits: lol
jacek: bbl
Zachary_0722: is python the most frequent language?
eulerscheZahl: what's your scope for the question?
on the whole world? for clash of code shortest mode? for ...?
AmarjitSingh: Can someoone suggest a good Machine learning project
swordwielder: use the AWS sagemaker and build a machine learning car
AmarjitSingh: ohk thanks
FlatJelly_17bc: hi I have a coding challenge test on codingame for a junior java developer position. any suggestions on how to proceed to be well prepared?
swordwielder: use leetcode
swordwielder: majority of any tests are on there.
Astrobytes: FlatJelly_17bc: https://help.codingame.com/collection/261-candidates
Astrobytes: And try some easy + medium puzzles
FlatJelly_17bc: thankss
Astrobytes: np
FlatJelly_17bc: what topics do you think the test includes
FlatJelly_17bc: for a junior
swordwielder: I wish I knew
Astrobytes: I couldn't say, it might be similar problems that you'll find in the puzzle sections, or it could be custom-designed by your prospective employers
swordwielder: I have a coderpad interview tomorrow too.
swordwielder: any good suggestion on how to prepare
Astrobytes: I don't know anything about coderpad tbh, sorry
Apocrypha_blank_01: Whats the easier way to count how many nodes were visited with minimax ?
tomatoes: increment some counter on visit
Uljahn: ye, kinda global variable if it's possible to use in your language
Ripkite: yerrrrrrrrr
jacek: i increment visits whenever i do game->makeMove()
thanhhv317: Hi
thanhhv317: in here, at 12PM
thanhhv317: and i am looking for a jobs JS
thanhhv317: i can using nodeJS in server side, reactJS in front-end side
Apocrypha_blank_01: Thanks for the suggestion of using global counter ! helped a lot. Have been trying to use some counter in recursion while searching nodes and havent achieved much that way
SantriptaSharma: ooh

Andriamanitra: i hate reverse mode, this clash makes no sense
polytuky: I like reverse mode. :))
Andriamanitra: it's been 10 minutes and none of us have gotten it yet
Andriamanitra: it's just a bunch of random sequences with no pattern i'm pretty sure
Gojol: Console.WriteLine(Math.Rand)
polytuky: Sometimes, It too easy.
Andriamanitra: actually not a bad idea :smile:
Andriamanitra: what's easy about 170859375 268435456 410338673 612220032 893871739 1280000000 1801088541 2494357888 3404825447 4586471424 6103515625 8031810176 10460353203 13492928512 17249876309 equaling 7
