For some concrete numbers, there are only four players over 50 years of age in the top 100 at the moment by live ratings[0]. They are ranked #13 (age 56), #89 (age 53), #95 (age 54), and #97 (age 57). In their primes these players were rank

Candidates prep and also the entire Freestyle chess experiment has been a bit of a mess. Here's what he told chess.com[0]: A few months ago I was invited to the first leg of the 2026 Freestyle Tour with the same format and prize fund.

I understand not watching a 3 hour video before leaving a comment, but this is a disrespectful reaction to a very well thought out video by a professional physicist giving a nuanced opinion about Feynman's legacy. She acknowledges many

There seems to be a mistake in the "Building the Transition Matrix" section of this article. Instead of showing the diagonal matrix D with the normalization coefficients it instead shows the normalized Markov matrix M, incorrectly

Come on now. You know he's not talking about small machine learning models or protein folding programs. When people talk about AI in this day and age they are talking about generative AI. All of the articles he links when bringing up c

Sure, but there clearly wasn't much concern if an American got 2/3rds of the vote on day 2. They didn't have to elect a new pope this quickly.

That would mean deactivating all discounts. Honey actively scrapes for them, so as soon as a discount is available on the internet it will find it. Not an impossible solution, but not a popular one. You could probably be clever and come up

The entire 3blue1brown series[0] on linear algebra is well worth watching, it has really intuitive graphical explanations of a bunch of concepts. Here's the one on determinants in particular[1]. TL;DW the determinant represents how muc

Something that seems to be frequently lacking in discussions of convergence in introductory texts on Taylor series is the possibility that the series DOES converge, but NOT to the approximated function. It's not sufficient to conclude

I'm pretty sure this occurs when the timer goes off during your query, and the alarm gets queued after the response. In my experience the alarm usually goes off immediately after, though, I've never experienced a 30s delay.

The belief that a normal number must eventually contain itself arises from extremely flawed thinking about probability. Like djkorchi mentioned above, if we knew pi = 3.14....pi..., that would mean pi = 3.14... + 10^n pi for some n, meaning

The very snippet you gave there is a counterexample to your argument. He defines miles in terms of feet (which is in turn defined by meters) allowing him to use commonly known conversion factors as a sanity check, while still keeping all va

To quote the great Bob Nystrom's Crafting Interpreters, "Compiling is an implementation technique that involves translating a source language to some other — usually lower-level — form. When you generate bytecode or machine code,

The only thing I can think of is people searching for literal vegetable rolls being annoyed by the irrelevant result and leaving it a 1 star review as an act of petty revenge. I was wondering if the photo wasn't doing it justice so I l

I know nothing about this topic and am likely making a complete fool of myself, but I think the point they were making is that the first statement seems to be ill will for a far less egregious offense than you are told to ignore in the seco

While this may not work for tablets (?), the vast majority of laptops have a setting called two-finger scrolling that lets you use two fingers on a trackpad to give scroll wheel inputs.

Really? Personally, I would say that a "great" con is one that makes lots of money, putting Web 3.0 pretty far up the list when it comes to grassroots level scams.

That's a frankly ridiculous point of view. You're talking about a literal child cheating at an online video game. It's not that big of a deal, kids do dumb stuff.

that would make the games themselves extremely boring, which makes it no longer really a game of chess and more like the Penn & Teller Fool Us show but more specific.

Or maybe because it's impossible to guarantee that you'll find what you're looking for and you may not even be looking for anything specific, making "search" a more honest and literal term? I'm not saying Googl

My friend, the compilers are implementing that behavior based on the C standard, which is the literal definition of what C is. It's absolutely about C.

That has almost nothing to do with the point this article is making. COVID is a mere side topic with probably 5 sentences about it in the entire article. I would suggest you actually read it, as it provides a quite fascinating breakdown of

Likely just a regional thing. Ants where I live tend to be slightly larger than our mosquitos, and they certainly have far more volume.

Being the president doesn't mean you can say whatever bullshit you want and incite violence with no consequences.
