PatrickMcGinnisII: It's midnight, do you know where your cat is?
eulerscheZahl: next to me, calling for attention
PatrickMcGinnisII: Mine are dreaming about being large enough to enact their murder plots against me
PatrickMcGinnisII: I <3 the little murderers
PatrickMcGinnisII: Got 3 of them, how many do ya'll have? or should i say, how many cats claim you as theirs?
PatrickMcGinnisII: My GF has 4 inside and like 5 outside. I have a dog/cat door so they do as they please.
PatrickMcGinnisII: My keyboard thief is outside atm
eulerscheZahl: i have 1 cat, she hates other cats
eulerscheZahl: and a neighbor's cat that regularly visits
PatrickMcGinnisII: no one else? that's sad
GGGFreshy: fuck'
GGGFreshy: fuck
GGGFreshy: sad
GGGFreshy: fuck
GGGFreshy: so hard
GGGFreshy: im stupid
GGGFreshy: im literally stupid
GGGFreshy: is that fine?
GGGFreshy: start please
GGGFreshy: oh my gawd
GGGFreshy: god nipples
GGGFreshy: sorry
GGGFreshy: bye
jrke: please don't spam
eulerscheZahl: i missed a kick opportunity. but i'll take the next one, you've been warned
GarethEddies: good afternoon
King_Coda: lol imagine spamming
King_Coda: cringe
King_Coda: Anyways
King_Coda: gn
SuryaTheOP: where are you all guys from
GarethEddies: Brisbane, Australia
SuryaTheOP: most of you in Australia
tduck973564: yeah because its 3:40 ghere in victyoria
JethaBoi: yo
KNELE: yo btch
eulerscheZahl: next 50-50 decision will be a kick
PatrickMcGinnisII: where' automaton when u need him
jacek: happy Caturday
PatrickMcGinnisII: :crying_cat_face:
JimmyJams: its 2:37 am, you know what that means right?
JimmyJams: that means its coding tiiiiiime
Westicles: Power of thor golf update is done. Only lost 5 this time
Westicles: not POT, chuck norris actually
eulerscheZahl: if they change thor validators, i'll drop hard
PatrickMcGinnisII: Westicles you are only on the leaderboard 27 times
Westicles: For chuck norris?
PatrickMcGinnisII: yup
Westicles: oh, well yeah I had to do them all apparently.
tduck973564: australia aint gona cop iot
tduck973564: no australia aint gonna cop it
tduck973564: no aussie aint gonna cop it
Marchete: happy caturday :smiley_cat:
Marchete: :scream_cat:
KiwiTae: o/
Mr_BlueBird: happy Caturday!
Mr_BlueBird: hehehe
5ALID: I like winsday more than caturday
5ALID: because I win a lot that day
Mr_BlueBird: hey, 5ALID

envifly: some tell me if this is too hard for coc or not
envifly: lol
envifly: someone*
Mr_BlueBird: not too hard
Mr_BlueBird: u have to remove duplicates from string
envifly: i can throw in other duplicates as the actual lyrics of the song
envifly: >:)
jacek: oO
IvesL: i suggest in some cases, some words/lyrics could be an extension of the "beat", let's say in your validator3, "scoop is cute cute cute", replace the beat "poop" with "oop", which is inside the word "scoop" to add some more difficulty
IvesL: envifly ^
envifly: that doesnt work, because it would consider "sc" to be a lyric
envifly: also i dont plan on making it any harder..
IvesL: but you can do it
IvesL: up to you
envifly: coc shortest mode is so python biased
envifly: :(((
jacek: :(((((
geppoz: well ruby seems best
BlaiseEbuth: :(((((((((((((((((((((((
punter147: c++ dabbler here, i was also a bit disappointed by this observation envifly but luckily we were taught basic python in college, and now by learning other generous peoples' submissions, i am really enjoying the beauty of python. but as geppoz said, ruby almost always has an edge in shortes mode contests, even over python submissions. I guess its time to learn some ruby. wouldnt hurt tho as rails is still in demand i guess.
envifly: i wouldnt learn ruby just for coc lol... you can do what you want
BlaiseEbuth: So stop crying and assume you gonna lose...
MiyamuraIzumi: take a lot of time trying to use GA for ML, and end upda using Heuristic :(
jacek: GA for ML?
BlaiseEbuth: mars lander I guess
MiyamuraIzumi: yes
MiyamuraIzumi: can't converge on test 2
MiyamuraIzumi: *test 3
darkhorse64: Even if you do not converge during the first turn, you can play the best found move and keep on searching.
MiyamuraIzumi: my best move sucks
MiyamuraIzumi: it ain't go anywhere
MiyamuraIzumi: it seems that my fitness score is not good
PatrickMcGinnisII: MiyamuraIzumi assuming you have read: https://www.codingame.com/blog/genetic-algorithm-mars-lander/
MiyamuraIzumi: yes
MiyamuraIzumi: just my implement is not so good
PatrickMcGinnisII: I haven't done it, but either your sims are all crashing or you aren't forcing a big enough mutation\
MiyamuraIzumi: some bug in my simulation, and maybe my selection for GA is not good
MiyamuraIzumi: I now have new idea
MiyamuraIzumi: but I think I will play with other games
PatrickMcGinnisII: k
MiyamuraIzumi: as I have speed too much time on ML
IvesL: hey steve
IvesL: i have watched a lot of stuff about GA, but always having a bad time applying it to my problem
IvesL: do you have any tips that i can practice on?
MiyamuraIzumi: I just fail on ML
MiyamuraIzumi: anyway, for tips: the mutation rate help on vary the search space to avoid local maxima
MiyamuraIzumi: but if mutation rate are too high -> GA will behave like a random search and hard to converge
MiyamuraIzumi: for cross over depend on problem, but cross over will help to have quicker converge
MiyamuraIzumi: a good fitness funtion is very important, (I fail on this on ML)
PatrickMcGinnisII: success or fail, then how bad did it fail... eg. dist. to dest.
MiyamuraIzumi: so for GA: make it converge quicker, but still try to expand the search space
MiyamuraIzumi: when I can find a solution, it can perform quite good
PatrickMcGinnisII: may work on code vs zombies
MiyamuraIzumi: but when it is not converge, my fitness score won't go anywhere
MiyamuraIzumi: I mean:
PatrickMcGinnisII: i think i would rather crash than run out of fuel
MiyamuraIzumi: on some cases before I converge, the moves are very bad that later, when I find a converge, it doesn't have good enogh
PatrickMcGinnisII: you are further along than you think, g/l
PatrickMcGinnisII: come back when the GA experts are online
MiyamuraIzumi: for test n3, it never converge :(
MiyamuraIzumi: yes
MiyamuraIzumi: thaks
tekki: ask for Automaton2000
Automaton2000: but it's a very bad idea
IvesL: yea very bad idea
darkhorse64: Depending on your level of expertise on GA, I'd suggest that you solve ML1 with GA. I know it's overkill but it's very simple (just one variable) and it converges on the first turn. The fitness function is also very simple: vertical speed < 40 m/s
jacek: portugal scored more goals eh
KiwiTae: jacek which multi?
jacek: :notebook: :soccer:
KiwiTae: heyy I am puzzled by this https://pastebin.com/uJ75tB4u in coders of the caribbean referee, looks dangerous
KiwiTae: its all the && first then ||?
KiwiTae: im always adding () because i never remember :")
sprkrd: yes: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/operator_precedence
KiwiTae: sprkrd thx >< i shouldda google that im tired
sprkrd: i like to think of the && as a "product" and of the || as a "sum", that way I can always remember the precedence :)
LazyMammal: you can also replace && and || with * and + for some comparisons and get the same result!
sprkrd: the problem with * and + is that you don't get short-circuit behavior
sprkrd: so it can backfire if you're doing bounds checking or similar
LazyMammal: yep. but sometimes you want to include a boolean as a cofficient term. then it's good to know :)
sprkrd: yeah, in those case i'd even argue that * and + have clearer semantics
linjoehan: is it a known bug that causes this chat to scroll around slowly? or is it just me
sprkrd: i've been having a weird experience with the chat today, but not slow scrolling around :(
KiwiTae: linjoehan its a known bug$
jacek: oO
MaliciouslyCrypticUsername: What happened to my mentor rank- I leave for half a year and this happens <,<
**Why54 slaps jacek around a bit with a large fishbot
lankiz: Does private clash difficulty depends on lvl?
sprkrd: lankiz afaik CoC is not categorized into difficulties at all, so I would say no
sprkrd: every night when i go to sleep i wish i never open my eyes again
sprkrd: apart from that fine :)
lankiz: isnt it why we are here
BadassSalad: what a coincidence, same for me too
Westicles: youth is wasted on the young
therealbeef: and misery is wasted on the miserable
lankiz: Westicles I checked your profile, I am going to code so I can be as pro as you
sprkrd: good luck
Westicles: good show Iankiz
