I've been working in our industry for almost four decades. Yeah, ageism is an ugly part of our industry too.

Yes it is. I've been here for over a decade. But despite your tip, I'm still going to speak freely this one time.

I'll probably get downvotes for telling the truth, but whatever, it deserves to be said even if folks only see it for a few hours. Our industry is still full of sexism and racism. Yes, things have gotten better. But most women in our i

Yeah, I've used that a lot. Yet another example of how AI engines can help you learn quicker.

Chess engines aren't useless for beginners. That's an empty claim and is as easily dismissed as it was made. I gave a list of reasons why a chess engine is good for learning. Refute those as a start. Here's another reason: an

That same argument has been wrong over and over again. So there's no reason to believe it's now suddenly a good argument unless given solid evidence. Distortion was just another tool, and first rejected as highly undesirable. It&#

That doesn't validate the claim.

Will those players analyze and rate your moves like a chess engine will? Will they name common opening strategies for you so you can research them in books? Will they let you take back several moves to explore different lines?

by tchaffee 3y ago
Some of what you are claiming is false. Most chess AIs for example can identify almost every opening move in existence. Something no human can do. That's a type of position evaluation, and a good starting point for further research. No

You're claiming that gossip and hero worship and celebrity didn't exist before the 20th century which is a wild claim that you'd need to back up with evidence. Humans haven't changed that much over the centuries.

The same arguments were made to dismiss rock music when compared to classical music. And a world without the Velvet Underground would be more soulless to me. I've heard soulless music performed by highly trained musicians playing on gr

Can you give an example of a unique insight or emotion? A lot of the classic books I read, the greatest films of all time, and the most celebrated visual artists are unique mostly in style or execution, but all express the same basic univer

by tchaffee 3y ago
Now you need to define what a unique, profound emotion is. And you need to define great execution. And you need to explain why intentionally having poor execution couldn't express a unique, profound emotion. On Radiohead's biggest

They drink wine on a daily basis in at least some of the blue zones where people regularly live to a hundred years old or longer. So it's not reasonable to say alcohol is relatively unsafe. Relative to what and in which circumstances?

by tchaffee 3y ago
In my experience, that's not correct. Can you please share your sources? I'm always happy to be persuaded by studies.

There is some evidence it interferes with REM sleep and stops you from dreaming. I've often wondered if the folks who it helps with sleeping have disturbing dreams. You might consider taking occasional breaks. Vivid dreams are reported

Just as there is a level of alcohol use that is "zero risk". But that level might be one drop in a glass of water at meals, and a level which has zero pleasurable effects.

It's not accurate to say any amount of alcohol increases your risk of cancer. There is clearly a threshold amount and one droplet of red wine in a glass of water one time in your life is not going to increase cancer risk in any measura
