  • Professional code golfers (Is that the right term?) build up a large suite of helper libraries from past events/from daily puzzle solving that they invoke for common problem types like graph search or constraint solving, or even for converting the text input to the right data structures.

    I assume the most difficult aspect of the problems is to translate the statements into actual code constraints/filter functions. So the spirit of the competition is not broken by having pre-written code (Although I am not sure many would think pre-written code is acceptable).















  • I don’t agree with your argument.

    Making a human go to prison for wiping out a family of 4 isn’t going to bring back the family of 4. So you’re just using deterrence to hopefully make drivers more cautious.

    Yet, year after year… humans cause more deaths by negligence than tools can cause by failing.

    The question is definitely “How much safer are they compared to human drivers”

    It’s also much easier to prove that the system has those issues fixed compared to training a human hoping that their critical faculties are intact. Rigorous Software testing and mechanical testing are within legislative reach and can be made strict requirements.
