_D_: Anyone get 100% on MIME Type c++?
tutubalin: Reksio it you solve puzzle in Practice or Codegolf section, it doesn't matter how much time you spent. You can start it today and finish next year - the time doesn't affect your score.
If you solve in Clash of Code Shortest mode, then there's a 15 minutes timelimit. For shortest mode time spent doesn't matter as long as it's less then 15 minutes.
imbadpython: how does clash of code help
jacek: happy Caturday
imbadpython: i feel like im good at fastest and reverse mode for coc
imbadpython: but shortest is so hard for python
imbadpython: or maybe im just bad
imbadpython: why's the testing server so slow
imbadpython: can we all say fuck shortest code
jacek: lets have coitus with shortest code*
SomJiam: what's lang shortest than ruby ?
Nought: puts gets.split.map(&:reverse).join ' '
Nought: (&:reverse)
Nought: ?
remi6: I love Shortest mode the most. I use Python too.
jacek: most puzzles are easy in shortest mode
tanmaycodernovice: <built-in method sort of list object at 0x7fb103fa6280>
tanmaycodernovice: what does this mean
jacek: python?
jacek: you probably printed x.sort instead of doing x.sort()
jacek: so you printed function definition
tanmaycodernovice: there is a clash going on... have to find the common numbers between 2 inputs
gybson_samara: opponent_row, opponent_col = [int(i) for i in input().split()] - 2 seconds, any solution?
tanmaycodernovice: i'm doing this by using sets and stroing it in list but then a null is also adding in the list
tanmaycodernovice: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/d46197e9-263b-4bf5-8ce5-b67dabefaba6
jacek: null? if s1 and s2 are strings there shouldnt be any nulls o.O
Astrobytes: Good morning, happy Caturday
tanmaycodernovice: nvm i've solved that
jacek: :thumbsup:
tanmaycodernovice: jacek check dm
jacek: darn, in othello i reached oware point. self-play stronger bot isnt really stronger in leaderboard
Astrobytes: Ah. Time to think outside the box
jacek: time to think in hex
Astrobytes: :D
remi6: tanmaycodernovice, was that Shortest mode?
tanmaycodernovice: nope, reverse
remi6: I see. I tried to do it shortest. a=input() for x in set(sorted(input())):x in a and print(x,end=)
tanmaycodernovice: but u need to have 2 input
tanmaycodernovice: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/f8a2e9a2-ea21-41d2-8d99-d1fe8f8b438d
remi6: The second input() is in for.
tanmaycodernovice: my problem was i have to compare between 2 inputs and print the same number occuring
remi6: There are two sequences of numbers? I got it wrong then.
tanmaycodernovice: 1 2 3 4 5 5 6 3 2 1
tanmaycodernovice: it would be like this
remi6: I would do it like this: a = sorted(set([x for x in s1 if x in s2])) print(*a)
-Gamma-: if both s1 and s2 are sets
-Gamma-: just use sorted(s1&s2)
remi6: I'll remember this trick, thanks. Looks shorter.
-Gamma-: yup
jacek: what about space, what if numbers are 2 digits?
jacek: youd be crushed in QA
-Gamma-: hm.....
LelouchVC2: thats a risk we're willing to take
jacek: and release it on friday night
imbadpython: shortest code is kinda annoying cuz python almost always loses to python and *ahm* bash
Astrobytes: git gud then.
SPDene: python loses to python? then you need to improve your golfing
imbadpython: python loses to ruby
-Gamma-: lol
Astrobytes: Fix it.
remi6: That is what I got in the end: print(*sorted(map(int,set(input().split())&set(input().split()))))
-Gamma-: no need for int...
-Gamma-: oh sorry
-Gamma-: yeah int is needed
remi6: Yes, it is to sort properly.
-Gamma-: yeah ofc
imbadpython: im solving the questions too quick i need to do captcha
Astrobytes: It's not a scam. It's to prevent bots/spam.
remi6: I had to deal with it too. You are probably better to take a break for a day.
remi6: Since it annoys.
Astrobytes: Solve puzzles or play multis instead for a while.
imbadpython: i wanna get to top 50 :(
SPDene: just spend that day writing code which can solve captchas :P :P
imbadpython: avg its taking like 20s per ques lul
Astrobytes: Take a break and learn some ruby or bash.
SPDene: 20s to click 3 crosswalks?
Astrobytes: People have no patience these days.
LelouchVC2: Patience is a virtue
LelouchVC2: That I do not possess
MSmits: Being lazy is a form of patience
remi6: These CAPTCHAs gets more difficult with each time you pass it. It probably thinks you are bruteforcing or something.
Astrobytes: To my detriment, I have the patience of a saint.
Astrobytes: Hey MSmits, how's things
-Gamma-: same
MSmits: good good
MSmits: finally scaling up my meta mcts operations :)
LelouchVC2: You guys still have jobs?
-Gamma-: but even after so much patience I'm unable to solve andy very hard level puzzles
Astrobytes: Oh nice, increasing threads or working on something else?
MSmits: I didn't know how to have a persistent database, so i was serializing everything to a text file
Astrobytes: LelouchVC2 Yeah, though business is a bit less these days. And I'm off on sick leave on the other.
LelouchVC2: I see :oo
MSmits: some of them were hundreds of mb, takes a lot of time to save and load to disk
Astrobytes: What are you using now?
MSmits: now I can go up to 4 TB
MSmits: well if my HD space could handle it that is
MSmits: Persistent Dictionary, a C# class
Astrobytes: Can you query it like a db?
MSmits: very nice thingy. It saves a dictonary on your HD and is about as fast as SQL and such, just limited in what you can use as keys and values
Astrobytes: With LINQ and such?
MSmits: i can sort of query it, if you can call a dictionary look up a query :)
jacek: you done multithreaded mcts?
MSmits: nah
MSmits: I dont want to use more than 1 core
Astrobytes: Hm. I'd probably just have used a database
Astrobytes: But pretty cool nonetheless
jacek: id probably make something myself and complaing why this sh*t isnt woking
MSmits: this is basically a database, it's the lightestweight db you can have I guess
Astrobytes: Wayyyy better than a txt file
MSmits: yeah
Astrobytes: I donno, I might have used sqlite or something. Less work this way I guess
MSmits: I just used it for yavalath for now
MSmits: yeah, sql lite was an option i found online
MSmits: but I dont have any experience with sql
Astrobytes: Oh you'd pick it up easy, it's like writing in English
MSmits: i know
MSmits: i did do sql injection
MSmits: for the security class
Astrobytes: lol oh yeah, forgot about that
MSmits: but i never used an actual db
MSmits: It has a lot higher setup overhead I think
MSmits: setting up the db
MSmits: It's basically this:
MSmits: static PersistentDictionary<Guid, Guid> nodes = new PersistentDictionary<Guid, Guid>("Yavalath Database");
MSmits: thats all the setup you need
MSmits: i use Guid because it's 128 bit
Astrobytes: Well, setting up DBs for simple things isn't hard at all, but that is most definitely faster ;)
MSmits: and you need to use a primitive value type as key
MSmits: i suppose the conversion functions count as setup too, then it;s a bit more work
Astrobytes: cool
Astrobytes: Well, it's done and it's working right? :)
MSmits: yeah seems too
MSmits: i can just click it away if i want to end and it will flush to the DB on quit
MSmits: no save/load
Astrobytes: That's handy
MSmits: Yeah, I'll still make a back up every week or so, because I am not sure what will happen on crash
jacek: some people mine cryptocurrency, others make yavalath books
MSmits: :)
Astrobytes: lol
MSmits: jacek, you still have two bots on yavalath?
MSmits: horsey is yours too right?
Astrobytes: That's a pony
MSmits: I guess one was minimax and the other mcts?
jacek: oh, forgot to turn off derjack there
MSmits: is derjack minimax?
jacek: one is mcts, the other is mcts + n-tuple experiment
MSmits: ahh ok
MSmits: my failed minimax got about as high as derjack
MSmits: I was convinced that minimax is best here at one point, but now I don;t know
MSmits: it's such a weird trappy game
karliso: Which player has advantage is yavalath?
MSmits: 2nd
MSmits: because of the switch
MSmits: steal I mean
MSmits: the first player chooses a hex
karliso: Do you think it solves as a loss to p1?
MSmits: Well there are 9 starting moves and I solved 2 of them as a loss for whoever plays second
MSmits: the other 7 probably arent solvable
MSmits: but if they were, then all counters to these moves must be losses
MSmits: wait no
MSmits: or wins
MSmits: because of steal
MSmits: to be a draw, at least one response to each move must solve as draw and the rest as loss
MSmits: so in short, I don't know :)
MSmits: there are more than one starting move that seems balanced
karliso: In the games you lose against derjack you make opening mistake?
MSmits: Yes
MSmits: Probably
MSmits: The early game of yavalath is a minefield of traps
MSmits: one wrong move = loss
Astrobytes: That's why minimax works better than vanilla mcts early on I guess
MSmits: yes, it does
MSmits: but you can put many minimax characteristics into a mcts
Astrobytes: Absolutely
MSmits: so that it deals with traps better
MSmits: i don't think NN's do very well here either, not just based on Robo's result, but because of the nature of the game
MSmits: it's hard to come up with a "overall good strategic move" when out of 55 moves or so, 53 are losses and the other 2 are some obscure trap that barely ever happens in other gamestates
MSmits: leading to wins
MSmits: it also completely screws up mcts statistics
Astrobytes: hence the need for the book
MSmits: yes, funnily, after 20 or so plies, the minefield is exhausted mostly
MSmits: traps become less deep and the smaller branching makes them easy to spot
MSmits: less deep because there is less room
MSmits: you can't set up some giant strategy using 14 hexes when a third of the board is occupied
MSmits: blocking many lines
MSmits: it's really hard to gauge bot strength in this game also because bots are very deterministic. If a bot has one deterministic flaw, it loses 100% if you can exploit it
MSmits: even if you do it without a book, you're still exploiting it without knowing
MSmits: so that's it for my daily text wall :P
karliso: Is your flaw agains derjack determinitic? :)
Astrobytes: lol, Smits Sermons
MSmits: karliso no, derjack actually makes a bad move sometimes and my bot doesnt expect it. It goes off book and plays more randomly. So it occasionally loses
MSmits: I have had issues with Robo's NN though
Astrobytes: When are you coming to wreck us in Othello then?
MSmits: he would end at rank 10, but still win 60% or so with me as opponent. Then I added 1 opening book move and he was back to 0% We would play the same game every time
MSmits: it's on my list Astrobytes
Astrobytes: :)
MSmits: might be a few eeks
MSmits: weeks
haihiepnguyen: any one failure like me
haihiepnguyen: standard output stream: "3 5 7"
but it failure and found: ""3 5 7..."
imbadpython: might have a space at the end
haihiepnguyen: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/027ba3ab-e69f-4ffc-b7e7-791de264b8d0
haihiepnguyen: this is my code in Ruby language
haihiepnguyen: yeah it's long but i think it's right :D
haihiepnguyen: i don't know why it found "..." at last
Gaurav.: is the result system for clash of code slow today or is it jus my wifi
imbadpython: i just submit and leave
imbadpython: the test cases are pretty quick
imbadpython: but the final result is
Gaurav.: yes same
Gaurav.: ahh this is annoying
Gaurav.: i came second in a coc just cuz it refused to submit
remi6: Same happened to me, but I guess my code was less efficient and slower than theirs.
imbadpython: oh that's not a problem
imbadpython: the final time is when you submit it
struct: Hello
remi6: Hello
tutubalin: haihiepnguyen probably you need to remove newline in the end

Ratchef: Hello, sometimes my I have errors that say "expected : "19Nothing"
Ratchef: or whatever value followed by "Nothing"
Ratchef: what does that mean?
Ratchef: Oh nevermind
SPDene: you have something extra on the end of your output, maybe a space or newline character
SPDene: @freeman42x please stop spamming invites. i don't know who you are
freeman42x: https://www.codingame.com/clashofcode/clash/1263062725be9ec0be9fa2a1784647500b3753d
freeman42x: @SPDene there is no option to ignore you
Ratchef: Yeah
AntiSquid: freeman42x create your own room of clash invite links
AntiSquid: #freeman42x_vip_lounge
AntiSquid: there
SPDene: @freeman42x STOP
Astrobytes: SPDene, only thing you can do is ask him to unfollow you unfortunately
Uljahn: or report him on his profile page :smirk:
SPDene: @freeman42x please unfollow me. I have no idea who you are, and your spam is annoying
Astrobytes: And definitely add your voice to the forum post re curse linked you
Astrobytes: Nothing worse than clash spam
MostComplicatedUsername: If only yinsh had a proper coordinate system...'
MostComplicatedUsername: sigh
Astrobytes: wdym MCU
MostComplicatedUsername: it's like...
MostComplicatedUsername: diagonal
MostComplicatedUsername: not sideways
MostComplicatedUsername: if you know what i mean
Astrobytes: Ah you'll get used to it
MostComplicatedUsername: --_--
MostComplicatedUsername: im just going to start with random placement
Astrobytes: Look at the columns if it helps
jacek: trying to put me down? :E
Astrobytes: Nah just trying a couple of things I didn't have a chance to try this afternoon
struct: tomatoes are you also doing othello?
tomatoes: only did vanilla mcts
struct: ah ok
tomatoes: don't know how to play
Astrobytes: (sorry for all the submits btw, be finished shortly)
jacek: ban
tomatoes: is first/second player has advantage?
tomatoes: in othello
Scarfield: i think 2nd player has an advantage
Astrobytes: Sometimes
Astrobytes: and hi Blofeld
Scarfield: there is basicly only 1 first move for the 1st player due to symmetry, so 2nd player has more control (?)
Scarfield: :wave:
Scarfield: Dr. NoBytes
Astrobytes: :laughing:
jacek: othello is thought to be draw
jacek: at this level there is no clear player advantage though
struct: on yavalath its clear who has advantage
struct: But there is "steal"
codeboy69: Hi guys! I'm new here. Any recommendations on things to try out?
MSmits: there are many things you can do
MSmits: what do you like?
MikeOxlong: how do I close the global chat?
