That's still mostly what it is ^^, though I'd say it's more "awk+sed" for JSON.

Hacky Manual parallelization

Massive time gains with parallelization + optimized next function (2x speedup) by doing the 3 xor operation in "one operation", Maybe I prefer the grids ^^:

) | .b end;

Well it’s not a grid! My chosen language does not have bitwise operators so it’s a bit slow. Have to resort to manual parallelization.
EDIT: I have a sneaking suspicion that the computer will need to be re-used since the combo-operand 7 does not occur and is "reserved".

Also did this by hand to get my precious gold star, but then actually went back and implemented it

Re: p2
Definitely a bit tedious, I had to "play" a whole session to spot bugs that I had. It took me far longer than average. I had buggy dissepearing boxes because of update order, I would reccomend a basic test case of pushing a line/pyramid of boxes in every direction.
Updated Reasoning
Ok it probably works because it isn't bang center but a bit up of center, most other steps most be half half noise vertically, and the reason it doesn;t minimize on an earlier horizontal step (where every step is mostly half half), is because the middle points on the trunk, that don't contribute to the overall product therefore minimizing it even lower.
Day 14, got very lucky on this one, but too tired to think about why part 2 still worked.

And a bonus tree:
I liked day 13, a bit easy but in the right way.
Edit:

Although saying "minimum" was a bit evil when all of the systems had exactly 1 solution (not necessarily in ℕ^2),
I wonder if it's puzzle trickiness, anti-LLM (and unfortunate non comp-sci souls) trickiness or if the puzzle was maybe scaled down from a version where there are more solutions.
re:followup
If you somehow wanted your whole final array it would also require over 1 Peta byte ^^, memoization definetely reccomended.
Day 11
Some hacking required to make JQ work on part 2 for this one.
Part 1, bruteforce blessedly short
#!/usr/bin/env jq -n -f
last(limit(1+25;
[inputs] | recurse(map(
if . == 0 then 1 elif (tostring | length%2 == 1) then .*2024 else
tostring | .[:length/2], .[length/2:] | tonumber
end
))
)|length)
Part 2, some assembly required, batteries not included
#!/usr/bin/env jq -n -f
reduce (inputs|[.,0]) as [$n,$d] ({}; debug({$n,$d,result}) |
def next($n;$d): # Get next # n: number, d: depth #
if $d == 75 then 1
elif $n == 0 then [1 ,($d+1)]
elif ($n|tostring|length%2) == 1 then [($n * 2024),($d+1)]
else # Two new numbers when number of digits is even #
$n|tostring| .[0:length/2], .[length/2:] | [tonumber,$d+1]
end;
# Push onto call stack #
.call = [[$n,$d,[next($n;$d)]], "break"] |
last(label $out | foreach range(1e9) as $_ (.;
# until/while will blow up recursion #
# Using last-foreach-break pattern #
if .call[0] == "break" then break $out
elif
all( # If all next calls are memoized #
.call[0][2][] as $next
| .memo["\($next)"] or ($next|type=="number"); .
)
then
.memo["\(.call[0][0:2])"] = ([ # #
.call[0][2][] as $next # Memoize result #
| .memo["\($next)"] // $next # #
] | add ) | .call = .call[1:] # Pop call stack #
else
# Push non-memoized results onto call stack #
reduce .call[0][2][] as [$n,$d] (.;
.call = [[$n,$d, [next($n;$d)]]] + .call
)
end
))
# Output final sum from items at depth 0
| .result = .result + .memo["\([$n,0])"]
) | .result
I remember being quite ticked off by her takes about free will, and specifically severly misrepresenting compatibilism and calling philosphers stupid for coming up with the idea.
23!
Spoilerific
Got lucky on the max clique in part 2, my solution only works if there are at least 2 nodes in the clique, that only have the clique members as common neighbours.Ended up reading wikipedia to lift one the Bron-Kerbosch methods:
