Kasparov's philosophy on AI in general is quite interesting. He's also a pretty good speaker with a sense of humor: https://www.ted.com/talks/garry_kasparov_don_t_fear_intellig...

I've never needed to use it much, but when I do, it's mostly copy paste, crappy hacks, or video 'tutorials' of LaTeX. Now I'm genuinely curious what vanilla TeX looks like. Any good learning resources?

Got a bit confused here. I was thinking about a very old software I used in college for my systems dynamics class. Completely different (unless I am mistaken), but still brings back painful memories of that class. https://en.wiki

I'm not familiar with what goes in a browser, but for some reason, browsers seem to eat up a lot of resources. While I am happy that it looks like this will (more or less) be standardized across browsers, I still hope for the day where

>Variants of chess are common everywhere Damn true. I can still remember my high school chess coaches getting mad at us for playing bughouse, saying it ruins our ordinary playing. I never believed it would, and it was quite fun, but then

>if you already understand ahead of time how tuning parameters changes performance. I thought the whole point of automated tuning was because it's difficult to tell how some things change performance? Can you expound on this a bit?

Thanks! Definitely helped clarify some stuff. I guess I should be more careful about assuming things next time.

My favorite for cello are the Bourrées in C. I'm not a pro, but I remember messing around with playing a (probably simplified) version of it on my bass guitar, everything an octave lower, and thinking I wish I had a lower C string.

Mmmmmm. The E major one. Gavotte en Rondeau has to be my favorite. If I could play the violin, that would be my main goal.

I don't understand. What's wrong with gcc/llvm and why not contribute to those projects directly? I thought -march=native was supposed to handle things like this?

My point was tat with the same chess engine, man with machine beats machine. I do see your point about position evaluation though. And yes, it would be interesting to see a tournament.

It's not as far as people might think though. If I recall correctly, Nakamura used an older version of a weaker chess engine (Rybka). He also tried to force a relatively equal position (since he was behind in points anyway) which led h

Wow, WebAssembly! I knew that Stockfish was really technical, and I spent some time looking at its source. But I did not know (even though I used to regularly use it) that lichess was also open source and that the chess community was also b

Most ideas are tested by an awesome framework. The basic idea is people donate cpu time to test out different versions of stockfish. Truly in the spirit of open source! http://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests As for "mag
