"I doubt if computers can invent/innovate." Sheer ignorance.

The question was rhetorical. And what is needed is aptitude for the specific task, not "IQ" ... the two are often very different.

It's strange that almost no one commenting on this has the faintest idea how chess programs work. Chess programs score moves by scoring and comparing, recursively, many millions of positions.

by jibalt 11y ago
Compare all you want ... that doesn't tell you why the choice was made, because it was made by evaluating and comparing many millions of positions.

by jibalt 11y ago
Explanations for choices have nothing to do with nodes or layers.

No, it isn't, exactly or inexactly.

Chess level cannot be determined by the strength of individual moves.

No, a truly general AI would play the way we do ... based on goal seeking. Current chess playing programs give moves a single score based on comparing and tree pruning millions of position evaluations, so they cannot possibly articulate wha

"For instance, it wasn't asked to evaluate the pawn structure and provide that analysis as an output, but it certainly could be programmed to do so." This quite misses the point. These programs do that as a matter of course,

"If so, could it be just as easily programmed to answer those questions as it evaluates moves?" No. A chess playing program's move score is a value obtained from treewise comparisons of the static evaluations of millions and

Your point is completely and utterly wrong when it comes to chess.

That is not at all Carlsen's style. He plays very organically, accumulating small positional advantages over the course of the game.

Of course blitz play is quite different ... Carlsen opened with a4 in a World Blitz Championship game against Radjabov.

"Well almost every computer playing chess algorithm uses piece counts to evaluate the quality of chess positions" This is quite wrong. They use a score that material is only one (although a major) factor of. "because barring

It's clear that you don't play chess. Anyone who does understands from experience why "increasing your piece count" (which is a backwards and inaccurate way to put it) is the most important and reliable path to victory .

"intuitions" have nothing to do with it ... you simply aren't knowledgeable about programming languages and their history. Perl 6 looks more like Perl 5 than Perl 5 looked like Perl 4, and the same goes for the earlier versio

Actually, that C Preprocessor was written by Walter Bright for DMC; just about every file has his copyright notice, and no Facebook copyright notice. I think they just translated it from C++ to D.

Yes, actually one should assume that; not doing so is irrational. There are many other diseases that one might have without even knowing they exist. It would be extremely foolhardy to get tested for them if/when you become aware of

What it is today, designwise, is awful, with screens littered with irrelevant content and extremely aggressive ads that are like xroach on steroids.

"Unlike C, this does not result in undefined behavior " Of course it does. If you turn off expensive runtime checks, you'll get SIGSEGVs. That doesn't happen in Rust, because it is semantically impossible to dereference

"Nim is as safe as any other language." That is factually false. "Perhaps it's not as safe as Rust" And there even you have contradicted yourself. "Perhaps it's not as safe as Rust but that brings specific

"You pay a high price in complexity and inflexibility for that juicy GC-less yet safe memory management." It's a price that a lot of people are willing to pay, because of how badly they want what they're paying for. Nim

Misleading headline. They said there's a 50% chance that they detected dust rather than inflation so inflation isn't confirmed after all.
