The chess community is generally against it, though they're also laughing at Kramnik for his absurd his behaviour is. I'd be surprised if Kramnik's behaviour is a major contributing factor (given we don't know anything a

You say this as though it's trivial to just see that Tesla is a scam. There's multiple decades of fawning articles and reviews of Tesla to the point where the average person can't be blamed for assuming they're a reputab

As someone who’s dipped their toes in it, I’d say Rust is complicated in theory but not as complicated in practice. I said on a different topic that LLMs help a bit with suggestions and you can start with suboptimal code, improving it as yo

Funnily enough, this caused issues with PS2 games ported to Xbox subsequently. Metal Gear Solid 2 made heavy use of the pressure sensitive buttons for weapon aiming vs shooting. I recall the Xbox didn't have pressure sensitive buttons,
