#Timefold
FYI there is also an Operations Research Advent of Code over on LinkedIn. 😁

Today it was about optimizing a roadtrip, minimizing our travel distance while visiting as many places as possible and not using up too much fuel.

My first video for #Timefold is online now. 😊

You'll learn why scheduling employee shifts is more tricky than you might expect. Honestly it makes me dizzy again thinking about it 😅

I posted about Jev a couple of days ago, and it got me thinking where this new AI model fits in. In this world of overloaded AI terminology, calling it a "model" has had the side-effect that people immediately compare it to GenAI models. But that should be clarified.

Holy Crap!

The most ominous review of Tesla I've ever seen.
Tesla is all but dead in Europe, and dying rapidly everywhere else.

Elon Nazi Musk is paddling a boat that is ALREADY UNDERWATER.

Open-source solver: Timefold Solver

Written in Java, Timefold Solver is an AI constraint solver for Java, Python and Kotlin. You can use Timefold Solver to optimize the Vehicle Routing Problem, etc...

Not sure, if it is good as CPLEX, Gurobi, or Xpress, but it is free to use.
