Solving Sudoku reasoning via Energy Geometric models
We were genuinely impressed by Yann LeCun’s recent announcement about his Sudoku solver based on Energy-Based Models here: https://logicalintelligence.com/yann-lecun So we (a software engineer and prodigy mathematician) worked in the weekend to see if we can beat it and we did! If Kona solves puzzles in 313 milliseconds, we currently solve 270,000 puzzles per second! We do not know the internal mechanics behind Logical Intelligence’s system, but we are happy to share ours in the webpage there is a full description, code and also a paper published. Why people are obsessed with…

In plain words
Solving Sudoku reasoning via Energy Geometric models is a software tool that solves Sudoku puzzles using energy-based geometric approaches. Built by a software engineer and mathematician, it processes thousands of puzzles per second using an optimization method based on energy models. The developers have published the complete code, methodology, and research paper. The tool is designed for developers and researchers interested in constraint satisfaction problems and their applications to scheduling, resource allocation, and logistics optimization.

The Davis Manifold: a unified geometric framework powering 18 Gi_Systems, 30 patents, and solutions across plasma physics, drug discovery, finance, and AI. When the math is right, domains become details.
Hi there! My name is Bee, but most of my friends call me Gigi . Thank you for taking a minute to learn about me and about Davis Geometric. I spent the last two decades doing in-the-trenches engineering on some of the world's most iconic machine-learning systems. When NASA laid me off, I finally had time to turn all that hard-won engineering intuition into hard-working mathematics and theory. What came out of it was a tiny Riemannian manifold — and that little manifold proved one thing elegantly: we've been doing the math in machine learning wrong. Measuring real-world data with flat Euclidean geometry gets you partial truth, some of the time, at best. Davis Geometric is my deep dive…from davisgeometric.com

Visual Sudoku solver in the browser2024 · sudoku.dotslashdan.com · ▲63Hello! I recently wanted to learn a bit about computer vision. Initially, I wanted to build something which could solve a jigsaw puzzle, but figured I should start with something (much) simpler, so I've built this instead. This is a visual Sudoku solver which runs in the browser. It works by using OpenCV to identify and process the Sudoku grid, passing this to a simple ML model to identify the digits, and then solving the puzzle with a backtracking algorithm. The ML model was trained on the TMNIST data set using a model built with Keras, also a completely new area to me. It's far from…

I started working on it because I was bored during COVID, and Cracking the Cryptic had just become popular on YouTube, which got me wondering how hard it could be to make a Sudoku app. The main idea is for the app to understand the constraints and know how to solve Sudoku grids (and not just be a simple Sudoku drawing/playing app). When it comes to classic Sudoku, the solver doesn't support anything more complicated than X-Wing, but it understands the…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
