From reading the linked paper[0], It explains closed interval only. "An interval union is a set of closed and disjoint intervals where the bounds of the extreme interval can be ±∞".

Thanks for making this, fun game, but the contrast is too low for my old eyes. I can't see the orbit most of the time. Maybe add options to make the orbit more visible?

From 350gb compressed to 12kb is pretty impressive. What makes that particular strong solution needs so much space? It's from one of the paper mentioned right?

Edit: oh, found it, it's from this repository: https://github.com/sidneycadot/connect4/blob/main/7x6/README...

What got me really mad is searching your own history. There's this "search watch history" on the https://www.youtube.com/feed/history

I remember watching video that contains certain word in the title. A minecraft contraption from a small channel (4 videos, 93 subs). I searched that word in the title. But youtube can't find it. Fortunately, I saved the world download that listed in the video with the name of the channel. So I searched the channel name + the word, it still can't find it.

So I searched only the channel name instead, in the search page. It works, and checking their videos, youtube mark one of them as watched. With the exact same title I searched. But it didn't show me in the history search. WTF youtube.

I don't know why you just handpicked the covid trutherism without quoting the full thing, here the full quote from the link above:

> Additionally, in recent years it has become increasingly clear that Jon’s beliefs/priorities and mine are not aligned. He’s adversarial to people talking about privilege and representation, is dismissive of diversity efforts, has dabbled in covid trutherism, and is pro-MAGA.

Here the post after just for a full picture

> I believe Trump is a self serving authoritarian who's dismantling democracy, trying to make trans people illegal, and wanting to set up concentration camps for immigrants - whereas Jon in February called him "the best President we have had in my entire life".

Oh, you mean Rust (the game[1]), not Rust (programming language[2]).

Yeah, I don't get GP either, maybe their setup is different and more complex?

That doesn't sound right.

"2024-07-14 9:04 am BST" - "2013-02-14 10:24 pm BST"

equals 11 years, 149 days, 18 hours, 43 minutes

(it is 100,018 hours as mentioned in the article)

adito — Mon, 17 Jan 2022 13:58:19 +0000

I beg to disagree with you. I'm newbie and I still found that zig standard library still daunting to read. When people said it's very accessible, I'm curious what people mean by that? What makes it very accessible?

That's first time I heard that, not to mean that I didn't believe you, but what's the exact text you sent that is made them censor and banned you?

You can append #page=N directive in the url to link directly into the relevant page. Section 2.1.5 would be in this url[1].

Uploading, probably no. Downloading in other hand; since it says unlimited, there's possibility that someone would download gigabytes of code.

> My personal favorite variant of this is sorting 1M 32-bit integers using 2MiB of RAM. This is possible and I coded it up for fun a few years ago.

Is it possible for you to share the code? Still don't quite get how that encoding related/helps in sorting the numbers.

I'm not an expert and would know more. Can you point out on any benchmark demonstrating those claim? Would love to see the actual number.

New comment by adito in "In-Memory-Only ELF Execution Without Tmpfs"

adito — Thu, 03 Oct 2019 16:35:53 +0000

But the readme says:

The payload executable is extracted to a temporary file. When running as root, this is done by mounting a tmpfs file system and lazily unmounting it before the extraction.
