That video is very US centric. In Europe in particular, police officers are not such an enemy. Also, in UK, refusing to talk to police at first contact can be used against you, for example it will be more difficult later to introduce exculp

You know very well that LeelaZero was designed to run on a GPU, just like Stockfish was designed to run on a CPU. You can also do the reverse, it's easy to naively make Stockfish run on a GPU, it will just be performing terribly bad si

You keep on missing the point. Today's Stockfish running on a low end computer would still beat Stockfish from many years ago running on a much more powerful one, because it's evaluation function is significantly better. Chess is

If I understand correctly, you propose using GPUs so that traditional chess engines can search even more nodes per second. Leela evaluates three orders of magnitude less nodes per second than Stockfish (70K vs 70M), yet it still won. You ne

Don't take this as ageist, but when you have 62 year olds reaching the top of Everest, you know it's not what it used to be. BTW, everybody seems to have an oxygen face mask, not to mention modern clothing and base camps.

I don't think the color grading is uniform. The left/right or top/down split of blue/red in some images seems implausible at the source.

There are quite a few (relatively) famous pigs on Instagram. Try suggesting to someone that maybe they should be turned into bacon this Christmas. I'm not talking about vegans, but regular meat-eating people. Study reaction.

You are reading too much into the article. The EU will never officially name this "EU English". They will just name it "English", and at most they might point to a "guide" of what some commonly used phrases whi
