The analysis mentions the correlation with the played moves vs. engines is ~95% for both players. But I recall a credible-seeming youtube analysis from last year's Hans Niemann cheating scandal which said the best players only have a ~

I count 8 colours on this website. The 4 mentioned, plus: white (appearing in the hue slider), light-pink (background of code box) and two types of gray (appearing in the up/down widget) Something something glass houses?

In my experience, there is not much technical growth as you go upward because there's not that much need for technical depth. What most companies need is armies of low and intermediate programmers churning out various kinds of CRUD app

We tried various forms of this during the pandemic; systems like gather.town and so on. They were universally awful. I think travel is simply the price of good Science.

Sounds great in principle. In practice, it's the stuff of nightmares. This is because the web version commits every keystroke of your online contributors, making it very difficult for you to actually merge your local commits (they need

As I read it, the GP complains about Word auto-saving on top of the OG document. I think intermediate changes should go to an auto-save buffer until you tell the editor to save over the top. For that reason I'm inclined to agree with t

Love Flowblade! I use it for post-processing lectures and technical talks on my Linux laptop. Tried a bunch of other (better known) editors and they were all disappointing in comparison (slow, unstable or both). Anyway, wonderful project. T

The only thing elsevier manages is their website. The review process is managed by academics who also work for free. Typesetting is done by authors. Paper printing is basically extinct.

I understand the argument from creators. Blocking ads and sponsors prevents them from doing what they love. But the argument from users is equally compelling, since advertisements prevent them from enjoying what they love. Everybody is acti

I enjoy your content quite a bit and I hope you continue to make it for a long time. But would it be so terrible if we didn't have professional YouTubers anymore? I think I would be happier with a smaller pool of content made by folks

A car is basically 4 wheels and a combustion engine. Henry Ford just focused on making it a great product. (In case it's not clear, I think you might be underestimating the size of the subsequent contributions)

The severity metric is interesting, considering the baseline for an event is an AI going rogue and killing all the humans. Is the point to also try and account for collateral damage?

Is it really the same? Or more like `rm -rf /usr` ? Was this folder always required to maintain the integrity of the system, or is this a more recent thing?
