Debugging Pain Story 😓

Researchers trained agent to play NetHack game.
The agent learned to consistently score approximately 5,000 points. However, after one launch, it only reached around 3,000 – a significantly worse result. Debugging solutions can be quite an adventure, so the author of the thread tried the following approaches:
- Finding errors in the code
- Reverting the code to a version from a few days or weeks back
- Rebuilding the environment
- Changing the CUDA version drivers
- Running the code on their own laptop

Despite these efforts, the agent still only scored 3,000 points.

After all this frustration, the thread author asked the model's author what might be wrong. The reply was, "Oh yes, it's probably a full moon today."

What??? 🏌️

And indeed, after starting a new game, a message appeared: "You are lucky! Full moon tonight." However, the model did not understand that the game became easier due to the full moon and continued to play as it did before, resulting in fewer points.

Moral: When debugging, don't forget to check the lunar calendar! 🌝

#datastructure

Queue Data Structure 🏃‍♀️

A queue is a linear data structure that follows the First In, First Out (FIFO) principle. This means that the first element added to the queue will be the first one to be removed.

Key Operations
- Enqueue: Add an element to the end of the queue.
- Dequeue: Remove an element from the front of the queue.
- Front: Access the first element without removing it.
- IsEmpty: Check if the queue is empty.
- Size: Get the number of elements in the queue.

Applications of Queues
- Task Scheduling: Manage tasks in operating systems.
- Print Queue: Manage print jobs in printers.
- Breadth-First Search (BFS): Traverse graphs and trees level-by-level.
- Message Queuing: Handle communication between processes or systems.

Queues provide a simple and effective way to manage ordered data. They are essential for scenarios where the order of operations must be preserved, such as task scheduling and data streaming.

Чё за тяги 💀

Durov in Uzbekistan? 🙂

🥲 It’s getting warmer in Dubai, and my friends are leaving for fancy places like the south of France. As a French citizen, I agree that France is the best holiday destination 🇫🇷

📱 As the Telegram CEO though, I don’t take holidays. Instead, I keep working while meeting our users from unusual locations. This summer I’ve decided to check out Central Asia to see what life is like there, study how people use Telegram and what their digital needs are 📞

☕️ I will keep you posted in this channel about my discoveries 🕵️‍♂️
