Great idea! It also works on the side of the board, I couldn't help building it out: https://onemillionchessboards.com/#4363,6

The linked proof for that median of medians is O(n) feels counterintuitive to me. Here's a (simpler?) alternative.

  T(0) = 0
  T(1) = 1
  T(n) = n + T(n/5) + T(7/10*n)

  T(n) ≤ C*n

Induction base: it holds for all a+b < 1, the only case being a=0, b=0:

  T(0+0) = 0 + T(0) + T(0) ≥ T(0) + T(0)

  T(a+b) = T(k)
         = k + T(k/5) + T(7/10*k)
         ≥ k + T(a/5) + T(b/5) + T(7/10*a) + T(7/10*b)
         = [a + T(a/5) + T(7/10*a)] + [b + T(b/5) + T(7/10*b)]
         = T(a) + T(b)

  T(n) = n + T(n/5) + T(7/10*n)
       ≤ n + T(n/5 + 7/10*n)
       = n + T(9/10*n)

  T(n) ≤ n + T(9/10*n)
       ≤ n * ∑ᵢ₌₀ᶦⁿᶠᶦⁿᶦᵗʸ (9/10)^i
       = n * 1/(1-9/10)
       = 10*n

As a joke, I made a webpage where you can do attribution to ALL GitHub repositories:

http://thanksforthecode.com

It scrolls past all the repos movie-credits-style. Doing it that way takes several days! It shows how abstract and absurd giving contribution to such a large body of works is.

Who should we thank for the code written by Copilot? In a way, we should thank everyone in the training data. That includes: everyone with a public Github repository.

Context: https://github.com/usewits/ThanksForTheCode

You can customize it like this: thanksforthecode.com?name=PROJECT_NAME

Another funemployed xoogler here! I've been making games for the last year, and one thing I would definitely love to explore is designing a deep but easy to learn game using learning techniques. We should talk!

This is factually wrong, looks at CO2 emissions per capita, USA has carbon footprint double that of France.

It's closer to 3x: USA 15.7 vs France 5.2 tonnes of CO2 per capita per year (2017, not accounting for other gasses that contribute to warming) [1]

I made a game about polyominoes: https://melonmouse.itch.io/polyominoes

If you try it out, please let me know what you think :)

P.S. work on that led to a sequence on the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences: https://oeis.org/A239658
