And also, humans vary wildly in their thinking and what's "obvious" to them. I'm about 1950 and am good in openings and tactics (but not tactics for the opponent). Others around the same rating are much worse than that b

Scid exists of course, I've used it since forever and it works fine. But you have to find your own games to fill it with (probably from The Week In Chess) and it looks like Linux did in 1998. Most of my opening stuff is just in a bunch

I didn't know that anecdote. The point that a perfect chess engine would not necessarily be hard to play a draw against (until you accidentally play a losing move) is one that many people miss. Although it could of course use some stro

But adopting a rule that says 1/0 = 0 means you may also have to accept that 1 = 0*0.

So are web applications that are completely behind auth and never need to care about SEO. They're quite different and it's a shame they're usually mixed up in these discussions.

Or consistent, or whatever. It doesn't matter, they're not relevant to the puzzle. Why do you believe the content of the labels says anything about where the treasure actually is?
338.
by Scarblac 2y ago
No, that is a red herring, as he explains. It's not about the labels at all, there's no reason to assume the writer of the labels even knew anything about the actual location of the treasure. They're not part of the puzzle ru

No, the point is that even if both labels had said "the treasure is in the red box" then it still could have been in the green box. There is no reason why the labels should be expected to say the truth, they're just labels.

It also reminds me of the horrible stories that exist on the Internet about people committing suicide by means of a paracetamol overdose (usually with a lot of alcohol as well). They are found, rushed to the hospital, they wake up and feel

Also, whose definition of "best self" are we using, that of the person being watched or of the person controlling the camera?

This is the argument that submarines don't really "swim" as commonly understood, isn't it?

It leads to more traffic of all types, I guess.

If that happens rarely, then the cars just have to queue for a few seconds, no big deal. If it becomes structural, say the neighbourhood becomes larger and substantially more cars will go there now, then the intersection will be redesigned

These are already users that want to let the company know that they are blind in order to qualify for special treatment. In that case showing the certificate doesn't seem to be much of an extra privacy issue to me.

Maybe it was used for educational purposes, someone collected bones from different places until they had a whole skeleton? And then when they died, nobody wanted to keep it and it was buried as it was human remains after all.

Where do grapes go? Surprised one of the fruits I eat most commonly isn't in the chart.

Probably depends on how many of those 7 were leap years at any point in time?

The majority of the current output is used to feed lifestock. We're going to have to stop eating meat almost entirely to make room for human plant based food production.

Coming from Typescript that doesn't look very ominous to me, though it would nice if the types could be inferred somehow.

I'm utterly out of shape but use the bicycle for trips within my city (that I can't walk). It's just that that's only a few times per week and it's hardly strenuous, so it's not nearly enough exercise on its ow

In the Netherlands it's often kids riding to high school now, who certainly would have used normal bikes in the past. And once they start with ebikes, I don't expect them to ever switch to mormal bikes anymore.

Yes, it's a statement thats true or false. But it must also be useful . We don't do science just to enumerate trivial true statements, after all. To be useful it needs to predict things. And when it's falsified (say your hyp

Yes, I figured that he would need a tablebase anyway. But that's still a few bits per position, the number of possible games doesn't come in to it.

He also has very entertaining Youtube videos about the kind of wild opening discoveries Leela comes up with when contempt is set really high (ie it wants to maximally avoid draws), combined with his 2700+ commentary on them.

But that's not the relevant thing if we're talking about storing a best move per possible position.

I feel it would be good to start with PostgREST and only start adding custom endpoints once what you need diverges from tgat. Although those could also be Postgres views and stored procedures, of course.

But the roads and cars are used less, which means they require less maintenance. CO2 emission isn't the only pollution caused by cars either. People get cheaper transport options available to them. All those other wins for society shou

Now that you say this, the exact same thing is used in Dutch to indicate something is a rumour. Ze zouden met elkaar naar bed zijn geweest.
