Editions do not fragment the ecosystem at all. A crate written in rust 2015 can depend on a crate written in rust 2024 and vice versa. There are no forced upgrades. The only maintainers it causes a burden for are the…
Out of curiosity, did it shift up or down for you? I've had perfect putch from a young age, but now at 30 I hear everything a semiton higher (so e.g. a B sounds like a C to me, and I have to manually subtract the…
My read of GP is that there is a cycle economy between "bitter lesson" style domain-general scaling and domain-specific adaptation once the scaling plateaus for the latest tech.
I love this! If I were to suggest any improvements: - Have a play-by-play view so users can see plays they missed - Make the "between innings" tabs clickable rather than forcing users to wait for the cycle (cycle by…
To the extent that's true, the same would then apply to any sufficiently intelligent life. So if that's the crux of the argument, it has nothing to do with AI being a great filter.
It always bothers me when people suggest that AI could be the "great filter" in the sense of Fermi's paradox. Yes, AI may well wipe out biological life, but all evidence suggests AI will have a much easier time with…
It clearly doesn't use minimax, since it doesn't play the best move for black in the critical line, leading to a mate in 5 instead if a mate in 6. Best line is N4 N5, Nx6+ K7, R4 N3+!, K2 N5, N8! Kx8, Rx5#. The site has…
The site plays Kx6 instead. You're right though that I was generous with the exclams; all the moves are easy to find in reality.
It frustrates me that the site does not give the strongest defense for black. The position is mate in 6, not 5: 1. N4 N5 2. Nx6+ K7 3. R4 N3+! 4. K2 N5 5. N8! Kx8 6. Rx5#
> Theoretically you can max out every 5 hour window, but they lose money on that. No, there is a weekly limit as well. Maxing out a single 5h window uses ~10% of the weekly limit
I find a lot of motivation from topology. If you plot a smooth degree d curve over the complex numbers, it forms a surface of degree g=(d-1)(d-2)/2. In the case of a cubic, we get genus 1, i.e. a torus. Now tori admit a…
Rooks don't have taxicab geometry. Their metric space is compact even on an infinite board. I think you're thinking of the wazir: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wazir_(chess)
Sure, but who's reading the conversation to determine whether it "looks suspicious"? A regex? A neural network? Who decides the algorithm, and do you really can believe they won't ever change it to serve other more…
I am confused how we can define a rotation number of the map from S^1 to R^3 defined at the end of the second paragraph. R^3 is nullhomotopic, after all...
My preference is semi-compatible with both conventions: First = 0 Second = 1 Toward = 2 Third = 3 … This way, the semantic meaning of the words “first” (prior to all others) and “second” (prior to all but one) are…
Beat me to it!
Working in HFT, my favorite is 1 nanosecond ≈ 1 foot
Can you make the checkboxes indexed from zero? (Maybe I am too dogmatic)

And when you do need google, you can always just add `!g` to your search query. There are a bunch of other useful ones [0], my favorite is probably `!w` for Wikipedia. [0] https://duckduckgo.com/bangs
I disagree on the zero-based indexing complaint. Indeed, the fact that Julia indexed from 1 is the sole reason I will never use an otherwise great language. I can’t comprehend how people came to the conclusion this was…
For anyone wondering if the speed of light is a concern, a good mnemonic is that a foot is roughly equal to a nanosecond. So a millisecond is long enough (by a factor of ~50000) that camera placement doesn’t matter.
One of many things I learned from [0] is that the vast majority drownings happen in crowded pools with a ton of floaties. It’s so easy to miss a kid falling in. Those floats are supposed to keep kids safe, but they’re a…
Put more briefly, gravity does not produce a compressive stress in the phone in free fall. The external force from the table applied to the phone sitting atop it does create compressive stress. Ergo, the situations are…
The payload still contains a list of other inodes though
