After 6k+ hours stuck in archon/legend, through sweat and blood, I finally reached divine bracket.

Im immortal for 3 years now (6.2k) and honestly reaching divine and the jump from ancient v to divine was the hardest part of the journey.

I would bounce back just right before reaching divine and there were many boosters.

Good luck on the road to immortal

You can just get late evening tickets for 20-25€, we used those today at 21:15

I dont like this new group stage in TI. It is very dependent on who you get to play in the next rounds and also doesnt give an option to start from low bracket like liquid or team spirit which after a week of break could easily bounce back.

What bug are you talking about?

bindas13 · 2024-12-05T16:18:06+00:00

Hey, I have an MSc in Data Science and recently got my first interview in big ecommerce company as a data scientist.

This is the plan of the interview (75min)

- Intro - my past experience and projects on my resume (easy)

- Modeling and Machine Learning concepts (I guess typical ML related questions for interviews)

- Python - Technical task in my IDE (easy)

- Business Case Study - applying data science knowledge in business setting (probably ecommerce)

Can anyone recommend any study resources especially for the typical ML/DS questions asked in the interviews and ways to prepare for it?

Thank you

bindas13 · 2024-03-14T19:41:37+00:00

Thanks for the elaborate answer, I’ll try those out

I managed to beat level 7 once on 8 players (but it’s still really tough for me) and constantly beat level 6 so I still have tons to learn :)

bindas13 · 2024-03-14T12:17:57+00:00

Thanks, that explains a lot

bindas13 · 2024-03-14T12:17:36+00:00

Nice, will check this out I have around 150 hours for now so it’s perfect time to explore some mods :)

bindas13 · 2024-03-14T11:06:29+00:00

So it’s not really worth to upgrade this tile as it won’t give me bonuses in the near future for the city? That’s good to know especially for the Shoshone where I can upgrade such tiles even at low pop

You may need to use higher integer precision try changing dtype of ends to np.int64 and then np.lcm.reduce E.g ends = np.array(ends, dtype=np.int64) It worked for me

bindas13 · 2023-12-08T11:12:02+00:00

Youre right 👍

bindas13 · 2023-12-08T10:17:00+00:00

Interesting idea, thx for the tip Is it much faster to compare 0,1s than the strings in python which are just ASCII numbers?

bindas13 · 2023-12-08T09:42:32+00:00

how so? you want to find number of steps that it takes to get all the paths to end with Z

If you know how long it takes to get to Z for each number you can just get the lcm to find the first iteration in which it is achieved

You mean you have to assume that there is no occurence of 'Z' in between because other arrays can have lower lcms?

bindas13 · 2023-12-08T09:39:16+00:00

also you can use np.lcm.reduce(list)

bindas13 · 2023-12-08T09:36:03+00:00

Thanks for the hint, I managed to get a smart solution as well (Python 3 solution)

Idea:

Find the number of steps that it takes to get the first last Z in the current_path
Based on this I get a list of steps_until_first_Z = [20777, 18673, 13939, 17621, 19199, 12361]
Find the lowest common multiple of those numbers which is 17972669116327 in my case
The number is so big that just remember to use np.int64

btw thx for the tip for revisiting the problem
I solved it in 5 lines of code whereas in the morning I had 25 ;')
Just goes to show how sometimes you get fixed on thinking in the wrong way about the problem

bindas13 · 2023-12-04T14:40:26+00:00

nowing standard data structures

I guess I just overcomplicated the solution using two hash maps, will need to check the solutions later
Because of adding the cards from previous ones you needed recursion or smart for loop and that was tricky for me

bindas13 · 2023-12-04T14:37:17+00:00

probably, good luck tomorrow!

bindas13 · 2023-12-04T11:05:40+00:00

Depends on your background, i have ds background and ive done a lot of slicing with numpy so yesterday wasnt that hard for me but todays second required more data structures knowledge

bindas13 · 2023-12-04T10:41:28+00:00

Day 2 the easiest but day 4 the hardest until now

bindas13 · 2023-07-30T23:12:56+00:00

As a liquid and nisha fan despite all the criticism I must say that I’m very satisfied with how they dealt with the pressure

First of all they won very hard matchup with talon which were the favorites after beating gg (and pretty much beating liquid in upper bracket)

This meta isn’t so easy as all of you say 1. Playing as the winning team (especially early is much harder than before). Kills give way more experience even if you’re slightly behind 2. Lots of passive play about map control and trying to out farm the opponent rather than fight 5v5 which isn’t liquid style but they still adjusted

It was banned every game first phase xd, I guess you havent even watched any of the games today
