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%.

> 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

When the driver and the platform are different entities (like Uber) you end up with these weird incentives. How would that happen in the Waymo case?

> The fact that is is needed at all of course highlights a weakness in the language. The import statements themselves should be able to convey all information about dependencies
What languages convey the version of the dependencies in a script’s import statements?

> A recent study by the Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Microsoft, and others, suggest that the performance of LLMs can be enhanced through emotional appeal.
> Examples include phrases like “This is very important to my career” and “Stay determined and keep moving forward”.
Of course the top LLMs change every few months, so your mileage may vary.
