AWTF25 heuristic day

As discussed, one had to get assistance from AI to even watch today's AWTF25 heurstic broadcast: you can see an example live automatic translation on the left. It was enough to understand the broadcast in rough terms, but a lot of nuance was likely lost.

For those who missed it, there was not too much suspense in the human competition, as Psyho seemed to be head and shoulders above his competitors, but it was quite close (and possibly still is, since there were only 50 pretests?) between Psyho and OpenAI's automated solver (preliminary exhibition top 5 on the right). The final results will be revealed tomorrow evening Tokyo time together with the Algorithm competition results.

Speaking of which, tune in tomorrow to watch me and Riku commentate on the 5-hour Algorithm finals in English! You can also check out the finalists' presentation. While last year I was 14th on the qualification ranking and could have been a participant, this time I am squarely in the commentator realm. In case you have topic ideas that we could discuss during the 5 hours (while the contestants are stuck on A, as usual), please share in comments!
