My favorite chess quote: "The ability to play chess is the sign of a gentleman. The ability to play chess well is the sign of a wasted life." I find this to be very valid.

"Only teaches two useful lessons" seems a little certain. Off the top of my head I can think of a number - the value of diversity and the contextual power of capabilities such as the power of weaker pieces used diligently, and the

Stockfish has created entirely new lines in chess which people incorporate into their play. For instance an early pawn push to h4 is now common among chess pros. It's value was not recognized before Stockfish.

Apparently uBO can't be ported to MV3, as dynamic request interception is no longer allowed, only fixed block lists. "For security and privacy"

I guess everything is ok these days as long as the President says "We screwed up [our most basic responsibility to customers], and we own that."

But corners do look better in video games like that.

Interesting position, and also very opinionated. For instance, personally I think having secondary masses dominate can make the structure look smaller and more intimate. Like in this one, it looks like a bunch of cottages instead of a behem

Thanks for explaining. It's an interesting turn of phrase. I don't see how it relates to parallel construction.

Parallel construction would be if LE unlawfully intercepted transmissions using this technique and discovered a crime, then found other unrelated evidence to begin an investigation of that crime.

by crystaln 4mo ago
Indeed. Parallel construction is when law enforcement doesn't want to burn their source or their source is unlawful, so they find another way to justify a warrant or prosecution even tho their initial justification comes from a differe

This is how markets balance. When there is under supply prices go up and incentivize production. When there is oversupply production goes down. Prices converge on a small premium to the price of production.

Seems much more likely the cost will go down 99%. With open source models and architectural innovations, something like Claude will run on a local machine for free.

I am not inclined to read this longwinded post. Anyone who writes a headline like this is not worthy of it's subject, and the popular comments would tend to agree. I'm sure the author is well intentioned and filled with integrity,

A widespread theory among et believers is that nuclear explosions bring the attention of et intelligence around the universe as a sign of sufficiently advanced life to investigate, and that aliens are here to make sure we develop without se

It's definitely better to know what traffic is real for many reasons, however won't clicks just lower the value of a click and conversion numbers, but leave overall conversion the same? If conversion rate drops 90%, the value of a

Yes bubbles always have survivors. They will be hurt and also one day worth much more than they are now.

Bubbles burst when the media and public are finally bought in that they burst. This article is a good sign we aren’t there yet.

Yeah. This time it’s different.

Deflation is what you want for investment assets. Btc is primarily a value store and commodity like gold, not a currency. Deflation is a good thing when you are parking value.

Hard to say that your work isn't derived from a GPL project if you quite openly are reimplementing a GPL project you used at the core of your own project.

Being obvious to a developer poking at a product is quite disparate from successfully bringing a lawsuit involving source discovery.

This is really cute, however I have a hard time seeing a route to widespread adoption as a marketplace of source. I was going to suggest adding adoption and rescues, however there seem to be a number of highly rated apps in that space alrea

Red light therapy is vasty undervalued among the techie longevity crowd I know when compared to supplements, perhaps because of the large initial cost and lower portability of systems. The evidence seems stronger than for most supplements p

There is a large amount of evidence for red light therapy for all parts of the body.

Why does this upset people so much? Lawyers use these AI tools regularly. I use them constantly for legal advice and double check with lawyers. They are right at least as often as the lawyers.

As someone who lived in China for a decade I can say affirmatively you have no idea what you’re talking about. Chinese companies do not have to play by the same rules in China, and Chinese companies are de facto and legally arms of the Chin

Sure and I don’t even think it’s a bad move for them. And also the US should act with reciprocity.
