Something is missing?
By too_rusty, 3 months ago, In English

Look at the following picture, don't you feel that there's something unusual?

You are right, the "Pay attention" block of the sidebar on the right is missing.

I've been on codeforces for several years, and this is the first time I don't see any contests on the top right of my home page.

    Contests keep coming, you also have previous contests for up-solving and virtual participation.

You are wrong. The unusual thing is that it's been 45 days without an Edu round.

    And there was only 15 days between the last two edu rounds.

It will perhaps be usual. After gpt-o1, I had to withdraw my Div2 proposal because it solved some important problems. Probably there will be fewer and fewer Div2s because problem setters are pushed to make only very creative problems.

    so no contests until 20 october ? Maybe there are other proposals that could make it into a div2 ?

    damn, is there any chance your problems are used in some other contest? it seems like a waste for all those problems to be thrown away just like that

    Why should we be afraid of that?

    "I have seen a couple of comments saying "authors/coordinators must make sure that problems are not solvable by AI". NO. STOP THIS. You are forgetting that all of this was for fun in the first place. Competitive programming should be fun for HUMANS, not inaccessible to AI." -- Um_nik

      Unlike what um_nik thinks, attempting to solve the forefront of what's possible in 2h is what's currently fun for most people. Of course it will have to change soon, but we should enjoy this while it's still the case.

Coding karo app CF contest reminders https://photos.app.goo.gl/7prWj9WN6wMVg7FG8

(I hope this is how pics are supposed to be added on codeforces my first time)

i understand that this is a 3rd party app but still there are contest scheduled (unfortunately no div 3s for me personally but nonetheless)
