I just completed "Guard Gallivant" - Day 6 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/6 Oof. Finally.

The guards in D6P2 be like... Which is ironic, because this was me trying to figure out P1 and why I was in an endless loop not hitting my exit condition. Turns out C# has jagged and rigid arrays. +1 for learning #AdventOfCode

In some sense, medieval people were much better prepared for AGI (or whatever). They already believed in higher entities—kings, emperors, gods—and weren’t afraid of the unknown. Modern humans: “We’re doomed, AI will conquer!” Medieval folks: “Meh, one more god. No big deal.”

They should do a Calculator App Wrapped where it shows you the dumbest calculations you did this year. Real moron stuff like 20% off 20, or 1x8, or 6+9

I just completed "Ceres Search" - Day 4 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/4 Eh...wouldn't have done it this way if I had known P2 was going to be unrelated. I tried to predict what they might ask for in P2 so overdid P1 I think. github.com/thisisjeffsn...

I got Day 2 Part 2 down to O(N) + O(N) = O(N), so it is linear, but it's two passes through the array. Has anyone done it with one straight shot through the array or can I be happy with this level of refactor? #adventofcode
