Remind me to invest more in the clouds they are burning those tokens in.

So the giraffe kinda moves like a knight that can't jump. It takes a mandatory diagonal, then must move at least three more squares. But then it can move any number of squares in that direction after those three.

Okay, so not really like a knight at all.

Wait until you find out about the cannon in Chinese chess. It's like a rook that not only can jump one piece, but must.

Shouldn't the question be, "Why isn't everything else?"

So their plan to burn oil and keep the AC mandated no cooler than 24°C in their homes didn't work out? Huh.

Confirmed that when you interrupt it, it shuts up immediately. Ya know, like a tool that is useful instead of a friend that burns tokens for no reason.

I can just barely recommend it. The physics is great but for a 3 hour AMA it's about 51% politics and basketball.

I know nothing about z3 but it's from Microsoft. Would Google's OR-Tools component CP-SAT also be useful for something like this?
