Because it's lovingly called plagiarism, but what he's actually doing is referencing some code while properly crediting its creator. Certainly helps he's apparently adapting it as well, so it's not straight up copy-paste plagiarism. The tech world in general is pretty helpful and collaborative to one another as long as you're not a self-praising little bitch, really. If you don't want something to be shared, you just don't share it. If it's out there in clear view to be shared, you are okay with it being shared as long as the person isn't an asshat. That's more or less how it is. ...and, you know, this is an entertainment video. Gotta know how to take a joke and all that.

In case if anyone doesn’t understand: A chair is a type of seat, typically designed for one person and consisting of one or more legs, a flat or slightly angled seat and a back-rest. They may be made of wood, metal, or synthetic materials, and may be padded or upholstered in various colors and fabrics. Chairs vary in design. An armchair has armrests fixed to the seat; a recliner is upholstered and features a mechanism that lowers the chair's back and raises into place a footrest; a rocking chair has legs fixed to two long curved slats; and a wheelchair has wheels fixed to an axis under the seat. Chairs can be made from wood, metal, or other strong materials, like stone or acrylic. In some cases, multiple materials are used to construct a chair; for example, the legs and frame may be made from metal and the seat and back may be made from plastic. Chairs may have hard surfaces of wood, metal, plastic, or other materials, or some or all of these hard surfaces may be covered with upholstery or padding. The design may be made of porous materials, or be drilled with holes for decoration; a low back or gaps can provide ventilation. The back may extend above the height of the occupant's head, which can optionally contain a headrest. Chairs can also be made from more creative materials, such as recycled materials like cutlery and wooden play bricks, pencils, plumbing tubes, rope, corrugated cardboard, and PVC pipe. In rare cases, chairs are made out of unusual materials, especially as a form of art or experimentation. Raimonds Cirulis, a Latvian interior designer, created a volcanic hanging chair that is handmade out of volcanic rock.Peter Brenner, a Dutch-born German designer, has created a chair made from lollipop sugar - 60 pounds (27 kg) of confectioners' sugar. Ergonomic design distributes the weight of the occupant to various parts of the body. This is done by having an easily adjustable seat height. A seat that is higher results in dangling feet and increased pressure on the underside of the knees ("popliteal fold"). It may also result in no weight on the feet which means more weight elsewhere. A lower seat may shift too much weight to the "seat bones" ("ischial tuberosities"). Gas springs are attached to the body of the chair in order to give height adjustment and more comfort to the user. Some chairs have foot rests. Around 15% of women and 2% of men need foot rests, even at the 16-inch (41 cm) chair height. A stool or other simple chair may have a simple straight or curved bar near the bottom for the sitter to place their feet on. Actual chair dimensions are determined by measurements of the human body or anthropometric measurements. The two most relevant anthropometric measurement for chair design is the popliteal height and buttock popliteal length. For someone seated, the popliteal height is the distance from the underside of the foot to the underside of the thigh at the knees. It is sometimes called the "stool height". The term "sitting height" is reserved for the height to the top of the head when seated. For American men, the median popliteal height is 16.3 inches (41 cm) and for American women it is 15.0 inches (38 cm).The popliteal height, after adjusting for heels, clothing and other issues, is used to determine the height of the chair seat. Mass-produced chairs are typically 17 inches (43 cm) high.Researchers such as Mary Blade and Galen Cranz found that sitting on the edge of a high stool with feet on the floor is less harmful for the lower back than sitting up straight on a conventional chair.

@@DasHeino2010 Hi, in chess programming moves aren't perfect, but the concept of opening books is still the same. The first couple of moves have been extensively analyzed statistically so following opening books are generally very safe. Engines are quite good at analyzing midgame positions but not so much opening positions so it makes sense to use an opening book. Nowhere do I tell you that I search all possible chess continuations to make a move.

This is essentially how chess AI is made. They build a table base for openings, then brute force via mini max after the table runs out. Then, since chess is so open to repetition in the endgame, i think a lot of AIs also have table base endings programmed in as well.

[@Rocker-1681]

Most, if not all, modern chess AIs do have an endgame tablebase. Any chess position with 7 or fewer pieces on the board has been solved already.

There was a Connect 4 game released in the 90s that was a PVP online game, in the game there was a feature "Next Best Possible Move", which would tell you the best place to put your next counter. Unless your opponent also knew of this feature (most didn't) then you were guaranteed to win, and it was pretty much instant when you called it. Unfortunately it's been so long since I play it, I don't remember it's name. However websites that do that same thing have existed just as long, and are just as fast.

[@Liggliluff]

It likely has the early boards saved and don't actually do any calculations until you get deeper into the game. For example, if the opponent starts, that gives you 7¹=7 different boards, and after you and the opponent choose again, that is about 7³=343 different boards, some are duplicates. After you two choose again, that us 7⁵=16 807 different boards, with even more duplicates. This is likely where CB got the 15 000 number from, the number of different boards you can achieve after 5 tokens. So from 0-5 tokens places, with ~15 000 boards saved, you can give an instant result. But 15 000 is nothing to a computer. Do 9 tokens and you have less than 40 000 000 boards, which again is nothing for a computer. But then after that you can run the algorithm. But when it runs the algorithm to figure out what the next best move is, it could save it to the list. Each board can be stored numerically, where you have each column be: 0=++++++, 1=X+++++, 2=O+++++, 3=XX++++, 4=OX++++, 5=XO++++, 6=OO++++, 7=XXX+++, and so on, with 254 being the max value, but you can technically never achieve 253 or 254 since both have 5 and 6 of the same tokens in a row respectively. So max value is 252. So the max number of boards is (252+1)⁷ = 66 350 415 710 840 437. Meaning you can convert each board from and to a 64-bit numerical value, and then have a list that converts a board value to a move value (1-7), and if the board value is not included, run the algorithm as soon as it's your turn, then put it in the list. This way, it will only be delayed if you see a board for the very first time ever, and if you click that button instantly. But since humans tend to follow patterns, and avoid really stupid moves, there are a lot of board states never put on the list.

[@CrazyStranger11]

Python can get a bad rap as being slow(er) because it's interpreted, but in any case, optimization requires a knowledge of what's going on behind the scenes. It's very possible to write optimized code in python. It may still be slower than something in c/c++ but that's the price you pay for a high level language.

@@Disatiere No actually the game is perfect information and solved; it's easy to detect since 1995. The win rate is irrelevant, you just check the moves it makes against the 1995 solution, which is what CodeBullet has implemented. In fact, the win rate in this case depends only on how well humans on the site play when they have first move, because the solution is first player win. The only reason they haven't is that nobody seriously plays Connect 4.

C++ is perfect for this simply because of template metaprogramming, most of the calculation can be done at compile time, especially for something like this where there is a limited number of states for the board to be in.

[@kasuraga]

Ok I REALLY love that this ai you made, sets up the EXACT trap I would use against my friend. It was always a fight to calculate moves 5 steps ahead with her, so we would both have to resort to creating a double trap where no matter what, it would force the player into placing a piece that would allow the other person to win, or a situation where if they tried to block one winning move, another winning move opens up frequently we would get into a cat and mouse situation where we're blocking each other's moves to the point we've almost filled the entire board. I think we've ended in draws before too I'd love to play against this AI in connect 4

[@Feuermagier1337]

@@solarsupremacy9191 This is the correct approach. Efficient JIT requires a certain code style though. CUDA even more so. However I do wonder why he doesn't use at least JIT. He should know about it. (I personally would probably have used Rust and (if applicable; would need to check the actual calculations required) a CUDA interface (the language is almost irrelevant there). If you don't want to use CUDA I'd definitely go with either C++ or Rust (or one of the more multi-threading optimized exotics), but that's personal preference.
