I mean, I'm not a great player but I've learned a lot from working through games with stockfish using a git repo and a small script that lets me rewind to different moves and try different approaches. It may not explain its moves

Also, you learn to be a better chess player by... playing better players. The widespread availability of chess engines has made flawless opponents available to every player. If your goals are understanding the game, self improvement, buildi

Feels like a variant of "really bad chess". Would make for a fun game.

Hogwash. You're trying to slide from claiming moral high ground to pointing at rules, as though the American lexicon didn't have whole classes of words denoting the "virtuous rulebreaker" (maverick, renegade, etc). And,

Those sure are words. Can you relate them to the question in some way?

Why is that how the moral issue is defined? Seems to me the moral issue is the stakes, and I have no idea why I would cede that judgement to you. What's your basis for claiming moral authority? If you don't, please show your hom

Relatively rarely, but in some performance sensitive use cases. Mine happens to be fuzzers, where a very cheap fork-like primitive would be a really big win.

There are a lot of slightly different fork-exec-like things in the concept space and it's hard to imagine one approach satisfying them all. IMO it would be interesting to take an approach analogous-ish to sched_ext_ops where you built

how did you compute that?

I'm curious if you tried different madvise strategies and if any of them worked better than others?

So you work in one of these fields, right? Hydroponics, homebuilding, theatre construction, pothole repair?

Do funny jokes about potatoes or great poetry about lemons exist? If not, can they exist? How do you know?

The author should write a followup article about how theory of computation has failed because nobody makes a Turing machine with enough tape.

You can do this with some forms of trip insurance. I stared hard at arbitrage there a few years ago but it was too hard to get your money out if you were right.

What's unfair about office hours? At least at my school they were posted in advance and available to any student at no charge.

I'm encouraging my folks to try it pretty hard because A) I've personally seen the productivity gains and B) using it is at first deeply weird/uncomfortable. Sometimes you've got to convince people to push through that k

For me the "can run" filter says "S/A/B" but lists S, A, B, and C and the "tight fit" filter says "C/D" but lists F. Just FYI.

As someone who has tried to make several businesses around art, people generally like art but not enough to pay "at scale" money for it.

I hear about meow wolf all the time and I seem to be the only person in the world who thought it was an underwhelming cash grab that is beaten by a half dozen events a year in nearly every major city in the US. Am I just missing some huge p

Not meaning to derail an interesting conversation, but I'm curious about your description of your work as "applied probability". Can you say any more about what that involves?

...then it is clearly AI? It isn't impossible that it's AI, but assuming writing and publishing happen at the same time would also lead you to conclude that Anne Frank wrote from the afterlife.

Every time I see one of these stories I wonder how many tools I would have to remove from my garage to make it impossible to build a primitive gun in there. With enough ingenuity I'm really not sure there would be anything left.

There is some evidence to suggest that spacex knows how to reenter an object without burning it up.

Possibly, although that article seems quite confused as well (of course they need custom silicon, and of course that doesn't mean anything about what COTS parts they do or don't use). It would be nice if SpaceX would publish more

by debatem1 8mo ago
SpaceX supposedly mostly runs non-rad-hard parts, the ostensible reason being because its more cost effective to double or triple up than buy specialty equipment. Do you have a source for this?

How is this different from slushomatics? Sounds exactly like old school fluid couplings.
