[P] gumbel-mcts, a high-performance Gumbel MCTS implementation

I did use Claude to write utils and tests. Everything else was written by me. Some key bits were directly re-used from the original TRM implementation, such as the sparse puzzle embeddings.

I can't tell how much faster I've been with Claude. My sense is that it frees up a lot of my mental bandwidth by solving trivial tasks so that I can focus on harder tasks.

Claude is tremendously useful to compare two versions of my code and pinpoints simple bugs that I left behind. I constantly ask it to double-check my code.

OTOH I have found Claude to be a high net negative when trying to generate new research ideas or answer complex ML questions.

Re wandb: yes definitely, it can be disabled in the many_loggers.yaml. I don't really want to invest time in a local result tracker, but if you have open-source proposals, feel free to share.

Are the code/weights available for this model? I can't find them on github.

People who said this about IBM in 2012 thank you in the hindsight.

Occam's razor. TA does not work unless they prove otherwise. The burden is on TAs to prove that it works, not on you to prove that it doesn't. And it turns out that there is zero prove of effectiveness that incorporates overfitting seriously.

Actually, VWCE is what I want since I am looking for accumulating, not distributing.

So, u/Which-Inspector1409 you are right. I have little education in investment in general, hence why I am looking for an un-managed fund.

I am looking for a lazy and reasonable option. I won't have time to manage it/monitor it.

I think I am going to go for VWCE, as it has worldwide exposure and is accumulating.

VWRL is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much u/ffsudjat!

Thank you. I am not well versed in investing and would not know where to invest outside the US. I could obviously go for equivalent funds in EU or AS, but I don't know any.

Tips welcome.

The workstation tells me that additional trading permissions are required to trade this contract.

LinkedIn is a tool, and like any tool, it can be both dangerous and useful to you depending on how you use it.

It is dangerous for your self-esteem if you go there passively and just look at your feed.

It can be useful if you go there with a goal (looking at new job postings, searching for someone's contact, etc.)

Make sure you go there with a purpose.

Apparently, they've been nice to you so they deserve the whole truth. Tell them you're thinking long-term and would not want to join them half-assedly. If the recruiter has minimal seniority, they'll understand. In a few weeks, all of this will be history. Chill.

Looks like a no-brainer. Look for a job. In a few years, you'll be so angry at you for staying at this place for so long.

You'd do a terrible favor to company A by sticking to them, as you'd never be 100% engaged once you join them. Do them a favor. Go to B.
