Gave up on day 16 of aoc. Sadly.
Got tired of Rust.
With Rust compiler I felt like instead of an assistant, I got a brick on my neck.
It was a good hunt anyway.

I have been asking #chatgpt a few questions, and it often gives flawed answers.
For example, ask it to list the largest cities in the Midwest. When I did this, it omitted Detroit.
Then ask it for the population of Detroit. It answered that it is the largest city in the Midwest.
Had a typo that cost me a few hours to understand.

I haven't "left Twitter." I just don't want to keep using it while it's banning links to other sites. Plus given the way things are going, it seemed like a good time to learn more about Mastodon.

Dijkstra saved the day. Though I tried naive/bruteforce approach as well.
Gave up Rust as well.

@domm Good old perl.
Reminds me my 2007.
@customdesigned Yes. My homeserver is matrix.org. And as I can see it doesn't support retention for the messages.
So I can't specify auto-delete timer in my groups/chats.
For a moment, I thought that writing an OCR solution is a part of the challenge

@customdesigned Do you know what is a homeserver in Matrix?
First time I gave up rust and did it in go.
Rust and recursive structures (graphs) seem to be painful.

And I am pretty confident that my code is clumsy and can be improved significantly.
If any of you would like to point out anything about my mistakes/style/whatever, I would be grateful.
