yes i agree screencasts serves same purpose

usually if someone has reserved power to also explain their solutions they’re not taking the contest seriously which removes anything exciting about watching a live performance

why would anyone even watch a cf contest stream? there’s nothing interesting about it. you’re watching someone typing in an ide in silence

What's wrong with the current format? If we use your format then the node ids for the trees won't always start at $$$1$$$, which might be a less bit less intuitive if you view the graph as disjoint trees.

I'm not sure what rules you are talking about, but there will most definitely be a queue since our team of reviewers for these lower divisions is smaller than the usual reviewers. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how long the queue becomes.

speed is important

The cf format rewards speed; it isn't the problem's fault.

proofs are not required

ok, is that a bad thing? the only way i can think of requiring proofs is: here is some artificial operation i just invented and you will now be forced to find and and prove my observation.

I don't see the bad in using your intuitions to skip the need for a proof for a problem. You can develop such intuitions with solving more problems / developing mathematical knowledge. It's what this platform is about.

guessforces problems aren't inherently bad, they just shouldn't appear on codeforces

If they're bad, why shouldn't they appear on codeforces? Where should they appear?

Well yes, you should run your solution against the AI brute force. If it doesn’t match, you should investigate both.

Note that GPT does not need to solve the problem to write an exponential brute force, so you can do this with any problem of any difficulty and ensure its correctness.

На askd → My thoughts on 2138D1B, 14 месяцев назад
+19

writing such things [an exponential brute force] are tedious, especially if you have to do it for every single problem

It's not a bad idea just to make ChatGPT do it. Just copy the raw statement and ask it to write an exponential brute force. It's pretty good at it. If a statement is unclear or missing something, GPT might write a wrong brute force or ask for a clarification. This has happened to me.

Let me debunk all your claims.

If they just add people with skips, no one would trust them and use this thing over stuff like tools which just based on skips.

The point of this tool is because skips are major flawed. There are chronic cheaters who have not been caught by skips and those who are falsely skipped. Skips don't mean anything.

They haven't added famous cheaters like Psychotic_D, wuhudsm and LMeyling

The point of this tool is to call out for recent cheaters who have gone undetected, not ancient famous cheaters that we all already know. I have no connections to Psychotic_D or wuhudsm. We can add them, but it would be quite meaningless and isn't what we are priorizing. As for Friedrich, please read this generous reply by Intellegent that he spent his time typing out that you never read.

Adding people with no skips is needed else no one is gonna buy this stuff

We are only focusing on those with no skips. If you want to become a skip checking merchant, be my guest. Anyone can do that without this DB. I think someone already made an extension solely based on skips.

They didn't have chromate00 either before by blog on them.

Again, past famous cheaters aren't a priority. Anyone can check them. We only added it because you insisted. It's not the big cover-up as you make it out to be. Stop spreading misinformation.

They called far a mass downvote in their discord server by their high rated teammates

Idk what you're talking about. Only four of us even bothered to read your BS. No one wants to read 6 paragraphs of your whining and random speculation.

I will be making more such blogs exposing them in future.

Ok, keep wasting your time I guess.

There are several issues with a reporting system. The first is obviously false reports. Well an admin can then review those reports, but it still takes human resources and time that is probably better spent elsewhere.

Well then I thought: why not limit to reporting to div. 1 participants? The issue with this is: it's not hard to reach div. 1 using llms lol. Well how about limiting to red+ only? I doubt red+ participants are really interested in reporting cheaters anyhow, especially when they're not directly affected.
