Stockfish is clearly the standard nowadays but if you simply want to score all moves to n depth where n is smallish; there used to be a lot of chess engines around, and coding one’s own was often a project people would take on. Not so much

For anyone interested, Vernor Vinge does something like this but minus the massive scale, in Marooned in Realtime. Set 50 million years in the future. My all time favorite sci-fi fwiw.

Hopefully now that Musk is no longer dabbling in politics (and alienating his electric car buyers, who are mostly Democrats), his rockets will stop exploding. Edit so being distracted was a net benefit for Tesla and Spacex? Down voters have

The way ocaml mashes the object syntax into sml was always most annoying to me. It was also pretty weak on the systems programming side (threads, sockets, signals, fork) 20-30 years ago iirc. That’s probably changed by now. Multi core; not

Wikipedia says Ascon has 320 bits of state and uses 5 bit s-boxes. That’s tiny compared to sha-256 or Blake2. One would think a pre image attack would be much more tractable at that scale. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2

It’s another wrinkle GP didn’t get to. If you are paid, how to launder the money? Presumably you’d get a shiesty lawyer to buy you a nail salon ala breaking bad.

This sounds like the same fud Armstrong conned most people into believing. In his case EPO was so hard to detect he got away with it for how many years? So imo: it’s possible but more likely than you think.

I worked in a shop that sold LeMond bikes back in the 90s. Iirc they were generally a chromolly lugged frame. At the time a lot of the high end bikes were the same. Are these not common nowadays?
