Yeah, well.. it is what it is. Russia also has lost powerhouse status years ago, it is now one of many strongish countries, Top 10 status. India is where it's at now, even China, and the US with the help of some notable ppl joining US chess.

AI is all about saving loan costs for big companies, replacing office workers. It's very convenient as that's a layer of people with usually decent income, so savings are bigger for corporations. Ofc their work will be done with less quality, but it's all about bringing cost down.

I mean he should focus on solving actual problems instead of inventing or creating new ones. Just good administration instead of ideology. Only thing that could save this. To be fair that would be good for many goverments around the world.

Got no clue how good he was as an academic, seems like he was OK but overhyped. Noone deserves this kind of a witch hunt: decency, fairness, moderation, even old dusty piety is what is lacking today in media, commenters, and most of all in social media and its emotional manipulation algorithm & AIs.

As usual, Russia attacks 50% civilian targets while Ukraine focusses mostly on war relevant goals. Russia's tactics are terrorist tactics.

Power and service concentrations are a huge problem that can go existential very quickly. The old books from Jared Diamond show that markets without niches tend to collapse completely eventually, with big problems for society.

NYC’s small business owners have said it over and over: endless paperwork and uncertainty has made getting their stores up and running too difficult. So we’re cutting red tape, eliminating redundant permits (did you know you need a permit just to serve some ice cream?), and speeding up inspections.

Hey #chesspunks… Here’s a fun variation from round 3 of my club championship earlier this week. After grabbing a very hot pawn on b5 with his bishop, white had the option to retreat it after I played Qb6. What would have happened if my opponent had played that? Not too difficult but quite pretty 🤩

It's called a gambit, because you sacrifice a pawn.. which is not good in this case, nor necessary. It's called counter because it tries to "counter" white's attack.

There is Nc6 instead, and if Bc4, play g6 and if then Qf3, play Nf6 etc.. then you have a development advantage as Black and a slight advantage after the opening.

Yeah it's a political strategy. Because Starmer is unpopular right now, everyone can easily badmouth any policies of his, regardless of how much sense they make. It's an opportunity to use irrationality to further beat down on policies that just make sense, used by the "power at any price" parties.

So the Data Center is worth more to the bureaucracy than a small village. Interesting. That Texas is drought-stricken is also self-made by years and years of really bad environmental politics, it's not "fate", it's a result of shortsighted decisions like this.

Old chess computers are way better training partners than "standard" bots.. they are limited by processor power and style of play.. and a lot different from each other. Modern chess engines like Leela, Stockfish, Berzerk, ... are all great for comparative analysis though.
