Is there a way to override the CSS (on Chromium)? The body font and weight, Source Code Pro is far too thin and far too wide and gives me a headache (and has regularly turned me off AoC). I'd like to change it to `sans-serif`.
It feels like AI will shape a lot of the submissions for these types of coding “traditions”. But, I guess that’s just the world we live in.
Either that, or there were hundreds of people trying and none were able to get it working despite the basic problem. I like to imagine most people reading the rules and being a good sport.

AI coding assistants ruined the global leaderboard experience. AoC might as well nerf it by discarding the quickest x percent of submissions, or something...
They should check that LLMs can't solve the problems in 9 seconds and come up with appropriate problems. Or just allow AI assistants, they are now as much part of the programmer's toolkit as syntax highlighting or autocomplete or Stack Overflow, and pretending otherwise is not useful.

9 seconds to get both stars is absolutely insane - there had to be some AI assistance here. Come to think of it, a pipeline that feeds the problem text into an LLM to generate a solution and automatically runs it on the input and attempts to submit the solution, doing this N times in parallel, could certainly solve the first few days' problem in 9 seconds.
For comparison, here's how long it took in past years: 2015 - 10:55 2016 - 7:01 2017 - 1:16 2018 - 1:48 2019 - 1:39 2020 - 7:11 2021 - 1:07 2022 - 0:53 2023 - 2:24 And this year's second place was 0:54.

Nice to see that traditions are upheld, such as the unreadable font and colors.
