A head hunter looking for people to work at Amazon, or so he says has offered the following. If I could just figure out where it's located...oh wait...

What? Sounds interesting.. I'd like to work on AI one day...
Although, for lucky me, might happen without changing job (since they do AI too at EA! )
|
|
|
|
|
So EA has made AI in all of their games?
Well, AI clones that is .
|
|
|
|
|
I suppose... There is a few AI team... I have not been working with any of them yet, but some in my team have!

Be careful! I heard that intersection is very busy. A lot of self driving cars are going through there.

Location is probably Umatilla, OR!π

Probably Austin, Tx. I've been receiving up to 3 e-mails per day to join some Amazon subsidiary in Austin.
I'm not asnwering for a ton of reasons:
1) They are sending me e-mails directly while I have a functional LinkedIN profile;
2) They are aware of my current working situatio, going as far as asking me if I'm doing well in my current company. It's creepy.
3) The names of the senders... well let's say that the origin countries are well known one for cyberattacks, the others for phone/internet scammers.

Bombed out. Then I learned that duplicate letters are allowed. I had 4 yellows....

Elimination really works! It is very hard to think of simple words.

I've a working theory that if you play where your next guess always uses the letters you know are in the Wordle and never has letters you know are not, then you should be able to guess the word in 5 guesses or less. If not, the word probably isn't in your vocabulary, or it's a very obscure word.
Edit: after playing today's Wordle, I amend my theory: or the Wordle is one in which there are more than 4 possible words with four letters all the same. Example: match, batch, catch, watch, patch, hatch, latch.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

A great song I'd almost forgotten about.

I assume with 2315 words all letters are included (speculation). But maybe frequency could help.
Anyway, why not only treat(5) it as a game to train(5) the brain(5)?

I was tripped by the possibilities of wound, round, sound, bound, found, hound, mound, pound.

I feel they should modify the rules such that if more than 6 different words have the same 4 common letters at the same locations, they should make you win if you guess any one of those different words.

Well, yesterdayβs puzzle almost was like Absurdle, where the game refuses to accept your answer by switching words,

So years ago, I was playing Ninja Gaidan on the PS3 and I got stuck at the boss of level 4.
He just ruined me. RUINED me every time, until I finally put the game down for months.
I fired it up one time to show a friend just how difficult the game was. I had saved it at the boss fight.
So this time, months later I had fired the game up and I proceeded to make it look easy. I destroyed that poor boss.
It made me look silly to my friend. I had just gotten finished telling him how difficult this was, and then here I am, like Bruce Muhammed Lee Ali just kicking the snot out of the game.
Anyway, I'm getting to a point.
I had about given up on getting the cantankerous RA8875 driver to work using my new decoupled SPI bus framework under Arduino.
Finally, I hacked it. I basically scraped the bus for the information I needed to do the bus code's job for it, because could not get the RA8875 to work with my new optimized bus code. It failed on the first register read. It did what I needed to do so I called it good and shelved it for quite awhile as one of the many things "i'd get to".
Today, after finishing the documentation reboot for GFX and getting my DNS records propagated for honeythecodewitch.com I was resting on my laurels. But I needed something to do, and I had stuck a pin in this problem from before.
I fired up my IDE. Wrote this code, which compiled almost the first time (forgot a semicolon), and then ran successfully the first time.
It spits 117 to the serial port, which is code for victory - a successful read of register zero. I am elated. Now I can crank out the code for the new rendition of this driver, cleaner, hopefully faster, and less buggy.
#include <Arduino.h>
#include <tft_io.hpp>
using namespace arduino;
using bus_t = tft_spi_ex<VSPI, 5, 23, 19, 18, SPI_MODE0>;
void sendx(uint8_t x, uint8_t value) {
bus_t::cs_low();
bus_t::begin_transaction();
bus_t::begin_write();
bus_t::write_raw8(x);
bus_t::write_raw8(value);
bus_t::end_transaction();
bus_t::end_write();
bus_t::cs_high();
}
uint8_t recvx(uint8_t x) {
bus_t::cs_low();
bus_t::begin_transaction();
bus_t::begin_write();
bus_t::write_raw8(x);
bus_t::end_write();
bus_t::begin_read();
uint8_t result = bus_t::read_raw8();
bus_t::end_read();
bus_t::end_transaction();
bus_t::cs_high();
return result;
}
inline void send_command(uint8_t value) {
static const uint8_t RA8875_CMDWRITE = 0x80;
sendx(RA8875_CMDWRITE, value);
}
inline void send_data(uint8_t value) {
static const uint8_t RA8875_DATAWRITE = 0x00;
sendx(RA8875_DATAWRITE, value);
}
inline uint8_t recv_data() {
static const uint8_t RA8875_DATAREAD = 0x40;
return recvx(RA8875_DATAREAD);
}
inline uint8_t recv_command() {
static const uint8_t RA8875_CMDREAD = 0xC0;
return recvx(RA8875_CMDREAD);
}
uint8_t reg(uint8_t reg) {
send_command(reg);
return recv_data();
}
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
pinMode(4, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(15, LOW);
delay(100);
digitalWrite(15, HIGH);
delay(100);
bus_t::initialize();
bus_t::set_speed_multiplier(1/20.0);
bus_t::begin_initialization();
uint8_t result = reg(0);
Serial.println(result);
bus_t::end_initialization();
bus_t::set_speed_multiplier(1);
}
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.
