I've completed "Step Counter" - Day 21 - Advent of Code 2023 #AdventOfCode https://adventofcode.com/2023/day/21

Oh polynomials - I dimly remember you from high school. This problem required me to reinvent calculus. Look for Leo's Principia coming soon.

I've completed "Pulse Propagation" - Day 20 - Advent of Code 2023 #AdventOfCode https://adventofcode.com/2023/day/20

Yes I'm still plugging away. Used OOP for this one, specifically Common Lisp's CLOS. Very elegant!

That was fun! But a lot of typing.

Able to follow myself on Threads here on Twit.social Mastodon. Now if the big news agencies turn on sharing, and they keep posting to Threads, I can access all the stuff I want to access in good old comfortable Ivory!

That was fun. But where are the pathfinding problems?

Just learned of the passing of Bob Heil, legendary sound guy, ham radio mentor, and good friend.

Bob hosted our show "Ham Nation" for ten years and we've been using his PR-40 mics exclusively on TWiT ever since I met him at the second Podcast Expo in 2006.

RIP Bob. A great man. You will be missed.

Still plugging away!

I just completed "Point of Incidence" - Day 13 - Advent of Code 2023 #AdventOfCode https://adventofcode.com/2023/day/13

The difficulty this year was all over the map. This was easier than Day 5. And Day 12. But there were a few tricky parts. I was very proud of myself that I used closures both in 12 and 13. A new idea for me and very handy. On to 2023-14 which I am told is very hard.

I just completed "Hot Springs" - Day 12 - Advent of Code 2023 #AdventOfCode https://adventofcode.com/2023/day/12

Took me FOREVER! But at least it's done. Using recursion and memoization. This one was conceptually tough.

Mikah unboxed the Vision Pro yesterday. It was more fun watching him play with it than actually trying it myself.

Mikah wearing the Vision Pro for the first time. Not sure who he's talking to.

Tonight on my usual Monday evening national network radio tech segment, I'll be discussing the Taylor Swift explicit deepfake images controversy, that already has Congress and the White House involved, and may be the impetus for major AI regulation and legislation.

I've completed "If You Give A Seed A Fertilizer" - Day 5 - Advent of Code 2023 #AdventOfCode https://adventofcode.com/2023/day/5

Brute forced it in a few days. Took a few weeks to trul;y optimize part 2. Now it runs in .000772 seconds. I learned a lot doing it so the time was not wasted. On to Day 6.

A rap song in the style of Run DMC to welcome back Mary Jo Foley to Windows Weekly on @TWiT for the day. It's a Christmas Miracle!
