When Olympic coding champions grade AI homework, the results are sobering: best models solve 53% of medium problems, 0% of hard ones. Turns out those "AI beats human coders" headlines might need a reality check! 📊

Turned my #zurihac2025 talk on #competitiveprogramming in #Haskell into an expanded blog post:

I have been blogging for a while now using the #BQN programming language. I write mostly about #computationalsciences and sometimes #competitiveprogramming. But the most important aspect is the array/functional approaches used for all problems. Any feedback welcome.

Just heard aother #competitiveProgramming site: #Kattis

Happy to play with #Rust on Kattis, just like #AtCoder

I've recorded a screencast for my old bash script alltests — test runner for competitive programming. It runs an executable against set of static tests (sample inputs and outputs).

Title: Competitive Programming Contests IOI, ICPC—BEFORE, DURING, and AFTER. YouTube LIVE THIS SUNDAY OCTOBER 29, 11AM ET

Are you or your children interested in competitive programming? This week, Mohammad Hajiaghayi (YouTube @hajiaghayi), IOI'97 Silver Medalist and Minker Professor of Computer Science at the University of Maryland, College Park, and Colin Galen (YouTube at @ColinGalen), USACO'19 Finalist and ICPC NAC'23 Silver Medalist, will have a YouTube Live to discuss the stages of competitive programming contests like IOI and ICPC—BEFORE, DURING, and AFTER.

Join us THIS SUNDAY OCTOBER 29, 11AM ET for a LIVE discussion on both YouTube channels @hajiaghayi and @ColinGalen. Feel free to participate and ask questions on either channel.

Nim is like Python on steroids. Crystal is like Ruby on steroids. Which one is suited for competitive programming involving data structures like doubly linked lists? And which language is best for multi-core parallelism? Would love to hear opinions.

I made a very long twitter thread about tips for programming competitions: https://twitter.com/FakePsyho/status/1605570944537280512

#competitiveprogramming

#툿친소

막 30대 진입한 개발자 아저씨입니다.

- #Rails, #Django, #Phoenix 등등을 주력으로 백엔드 개발하면서 풀스택 개발하고 있습니다.

- 요즘은 개발환경은 #Vim(#NeoVim) 위주로 쓰고 있고, #archlinux 꾸미는 맛으로 살아가고 있습니다.

- 가끔 PS(#CompetitiveProgramming) 하는데, #kotlin 으로 문제푸는걸 선호해요

뭔가 개발얘기만 소개한 것 같아서 재미없어보이는데, 사실 트위터에서 아재개그로 타임라인을 휘어잡았던 경력이 있읍니다

개발자가 장난치면? Bool장난 ㅋㅋㅋ 엌ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

I'm a grad student at UW[1] David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science, working on #bioinformatics #MassSpectrometry. Having a dog (yes, that's my avatar).

I'm a #Firefox user since 3.0, and a #Fedora user since 2012.

I had been participating is #competitiveProgramming since high school. It's fun even if I had never been in Div 1 :(. I'm maintaining https://github.com/Endle/rust-bundler-cp to use #rustlang on codeforces.com

My late #introduction

Vous avez envie d’un peu de #CompetitiveProgramming ?

Vous mettre sous la dent un problème proposé par #Google à résoudre avec un bel algo dans un temps imparti ça vous chauffe ?

À #Lannion le #GDG Code d’Armor et l’école d’ingénieurs ENSSAT proposent un hub pour le #GoogleHashcode du 24 février 2022 !

Personally, I wouldn’t call #CompetitiveProgramming “useless” as such, but yes, an obsession with it for the sake of a job is unhealthy:

Almost forgot that Google #KickStart is tomorrow :P

#competitiveprogramming

#100daysofMLcode
#day05 I didn't do much. I got busy with setting up new gitlab account and getting familiarised with it. Did some assignment work.

#competitiveprogramming solved a problem set and uploaded in my gitlab account.

https://gitlab.com/ScienceSaint/problemset-and-solution

Feel free to comment and coming up with optimal solution for the problem set. 😄

#100daysofMLcode
#day04 completed multiple linear regression and backward elimination method.

#competitiveprogramming solved a problem based on math and binary search.
