What harness do you use?

Mostly OpenCode but I've been experimenting with Pi a bit lately.

I use Agent Hive [0] for more complex tasks. It sends off subagents with models and parameters I can configure for each different agent (i.e. a low-temp coder, a higher temp with some top_k / top_p for research and architecture, etc).

Yeah, OP is famous for never having put effort into anything, just an AI shill /s

This whole thread is hilarious.

I had claude code implement minimax (w/ alpha-beta pruning) for the general n cells version of the game.

I checked n=6...20. It looks like white wins for n=6 and n=8 with perfect play, otherwise it is a draw.

With random play, black seems to have the edge regardless of board size. About 2/3 of the games end in a draw, but black wins 20% and white 13%.

> It looks like white wins for n=6 and n=8 with perfect play, otherwise it is a draw.

For n=6 it's "1. N4 mate," right?

For n=7, "1. R5" is a stalemate; "1. R4 N4 2. N4 r4#" is a loss; "1. N4 n4 2. R2 r6 3. R3 r5 ..." is a draw by repetition; so yeah, it's a draw with best play.

Yes I think so, although I might have read a slight adaptation. Thank you!

> Is there a human out there who would just magically type all the right things - no errors - first try?

If they know what they're doing and it's not an exploratory task where the most efficient way to do it is by trial and error? Quite a few. Not always, but often.

That skill seems to have very little value in today's world though.

Regarding electricity, it depends on what you mean by “we”, I guess

It's rarely the case that looking at school names is useful (for many things in life) when there are more data points.

In this case, without any insider knowledge, just by looking at their profiles, the relevant name would appear to be Benjamin Jeter (https://codeforces.com/profile/BenjaminJ) rather than ASU. Currently 5th active American in the top competitive programming platform, top 200 worldwide (https://codeforces.com/ratings/country/United%20States). That's elite.

In teams of 3, even one "super player" can make a big difference. Almost certainly carrying that team.

I guess, like a lot of other sports at the college level, having a reputation that attracts the best competitive programmers (and a great coach to go along with it) doesn't hurt: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrey_Stankevich
