I mean, I usually check the weather by putting "weather" into a search engine. And this will show me little SVG icons that take up a tiny fraction of my low-resolution screen and probably involve like less than a kilobyte of path

Just FTR, Shin Jinseo's result in that latest match is seen as extraordinary. In the last few years it's been common for top pros to play bots on 3 or even 4 stones. The thing about playing strength in games like go is that it doe
