So I actually checked the problems listed. In the "IQ Test #52" position (FEN: 8/1p1q1k2/1Pp5/p1Pp4/P2Pp1p1/4PpPp/1N3P1P/3B2K1 w - - 0 1) listed in #1 both LC0 and Stockfish play the correct line

However, this essay is specifically about wealth so at most I'd criticize this use as somewhat ambiguous instead of assuming that PG meant income Gini and therefore confuses income with wealth.

>Firstly, Gini coefficient is based on income, not wealth. Huh? Gini coefficient can be based on wealth just as well as on income. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_wealth_eq... . This

You're making a jump from "AlphaZero plays better than the best programs of its time" to "chess is close to being solved" but that's not justified without much more evidence. There are still a lot of improvemen

The top two chess programs, Stockfish and LC0, both use neural nets for evaluation but Stockfish's is very shallow CPU-based one with a clever way not to have to re-evaluate the whole position after each move (borrowed from Shogi). LC0

I'd recommend reading summaries of business books instead of reading them wholly. It's usually a few decent observations and a bunch of filler and repetition so they can be sold as books. The quality of summaries varies widely, th

That's correct. When I was researching why Google wasn't indexing many of our threads, I found the same thing was happening to other large forums.

My company owns a forum with 56 million posts and unfortunately we had issues getting Google to index older threads.

There is no reason unless you do some aggressive caching but forum software did not do a good job of making it clear that it's an old thread that has been revived.
