Why? Solving interesting problems to learn is a worthwhile goal. Why should it matter to you that others are "cheating"?
Because competing against other people is the fun part for some people. Why not allow everyone to use stockfish at chess tournaments?

#62Is 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`.
Bit simpler than writing an override or fetching the HTML.

And then allow aimbots for counterstrike, stockfish at chess tournaments and Epo on the tour de France. The leader board is intended for people to compete against each other, one could make a separate leaderboard for LLM, kind of similar to the chess AI leaderboards.
> allow aimbots for counterstrike I'm not played counterstrike in over a decade, so you got me wondering - are there matches where everyone uses aimbots? What does the game look like then? I suppose there's a new mix of strategies evolving, with a higher focus on the macro movement planning?
Yes

I have only observed the games, it requires a lot of hiding.
Most of the time the winning method is to act at the very last second and hope the other player is distracted.

#65Nice to see that traditions are upheld, such as the unreadable font and colors.

#679 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.

I didn't realise it was be timed, which is good because I casually set up a new rig to give future puzzles some kind of rig. I used C# which, although probably more wordy than other solutions, did the job and LINQ made light work of the list operations. Ended up with about 6.5 minutes for each one but most of that was refactoring out of pedantry.
