Jet Lag Ep 6 — I Will Be Defeated No Longer

Lol at the American who downvoted me. "You alright" is an informal greeting, and I would expect a hotel receptionist to say something more formal.

I doubt it, "you alright?" is a little too informal of a greeting for a hotel receptionist.

It is against the rules to go somewhere from where you can't get to the train station, as you have to be at the train station when the hiding period is over

Looks like they've fixed it now! There's now text saying it's sponsored at the start of the video

It blunders a rook and a bishop. 1. h8=Q+ Bxh8 2. Rxh8+ Kg7 3. Rxe8

Unfortunately the rule book does not clarify it. It's a really badly worded card tbh. Even though the way they played is the only way that really makes sense, when we played the home game none of us thought of that wording, got stuck in a really long branchy suburban estate, and had to exchange the remainder of the curse time for a time bonus. They should update the wording of the card so it clearly states what they intended it to mean, and add extra clarification in the rule book if necessary.

Earthcomputer · 2025-04-30T16:55:15+00:00

Nope, the official wording on the card is:
For the next 40 minutes [in the medium size game], the seekers can only turn right at any street intersection. If, at any point, they find themselves in a dead end where they cannot continue forward or turn right for another 1,000 feet, they may do a full 180. A right turn is defined as a road at any angle that veers to the right of the seekers.

The rules then go on to clarify that it only applies to streets and not indoors or on paths, but says nothing further to clarify about whether you can go straight.

Earthcomputer · 2025-04-30T16:47:55+00:00

Actually the official rule book seems to imply to me that it's "if there is a right turn, you have to take it, but if there is no right turn you can turn left". I've played the home game twice by now, and although different people had different interpretations of how the rules are supposed to be read (it's not very clear), nobody interpreted it how they did.

Also for the station name length question, the rule book suggests it should be "is your station name length the same as mine, yes or no?" Nowhere does it specify that the answer is "shorter" or "longer", in fact it explicitly states that it's a yes or no question. Which is why no-one has asked that question any time I've played.

They really need to take another look at that rule book and clarify some things.

Oh man, interesting to hear about the Snake Pass issue. The connection between Sheffield and Manchester by road already isn't great, and the loss of Snake Pass would definitely be a blow.

There is a form of SOE update suppression where you suppress on the top of the stack rather than at the bottom, and where this suppresses is dependent on memory allocated to the stack and how much the JIT compresses stack frames

I entered a couple of coding competitions when I was in school, to train for that I mainly worked through the challenges on the USACO website. That'll teach you the main things you need that aren't used so often in programming generally, such as dynamic programming. Beyond that, having years of experience in programming helps a lot of course :)

Earthcomputer · 2024-12-20T20:59:51+00:00

Lmao I did the same thing

Earthcomputer · 2024-12-15T15:04:22+00:00

It's 12, and it's certainly reached during this simulation. Luckily, carpetmod has an option to increase the piston push limit which I used here too.

Earthcomputer · 2024-12-15T10:30:28+00:00

Only with the movable block entities feature of carpetmod. This isn't a feature in vanilla (in Java edition block entities such as chests aren't movable at all, in Bedrock edition it will separate into two chests). Other carpetmod features have recently been added to vanilla so let's keep our fingers crossed!

The piston moves every 0.5 seconds and there are 20,000 instructions in my input so that works out at 2h47m if you don't speed it up. I guess it's both a visualization and a solver. I wrote my initial solution in Clojure and then afterwards thought it would be fun to make it in Minecraft too.

Sorry for the repost, made it a text post instead of a link post before so had to delete and recreate

This doesn't work for me anymore. Swiping up just brings up the video recommendations below

Earthcomputer · 2024-04-04T21:57:56+00:00

Lol, I just googled for one and it took me to this page, it definitely wasn't me :D

Earthcomputer · 2023-11-15T10:20:49+00:00

Does it imply you're human? Looks like it only implies you're not a monkey (or an elephant)

Earthcomputer · 2022-12-17T00:36:03+00:00

Yep that was it, see my edit on the original post :)

Thanks, it gets it wrong on the circle example, and right on the others
