> Hou, who currently outpaces the second-ranked female player by 68 points, recently left the women's chess circuit for mixed events where she can compete against men, who fill every spot in the world's top 100 rankings.

I was curious if the women player's ratings were separated from the Top 100 players rankings and thought that the overall FIDE Top 100 ratings was gender differentiated.

On a perusal of the FIDE rankings over the years I noticed that that is not the case.

Here are the stats for this year (Feb 2017):

--------------------------------------------

Top 100 Players:

Rank; Name; FIDE Rating

1; Carlsen, Magnus; 2838

...

100; Artemlev, Vladislav; 2655

101; Cordova, Emilio; 2655

Top 100 Women Players:

Rank; Name; FIDE Rating

1; Hou, Yifan; 2651

Here are the stats for the earliest reported year (2000):

---------------------------------------------------------

Top 100 Players:

Rank; Name; FIDE Rating

1; Kasparov, Garry; 2849

...

32; Polgar, Judith; 2656

...

100; Fominyih, Alexander; 2594

Top 100 Women Players:

Rank; Name; FIDE Rating

1; Polgar, Judith; 2656

So even though there is a separate Women Players ranking provided, the Top 100 Players is not gender differentiated.

It just happens that this year, Hou, Yifan, the current top women player is ranked lower than the bottom of the Top 100 players ranking hence the top 100 payers (this year) is all men.

What does that mean? Does that mean that women players do not get a chance to play among men? Are there less opportunities for mixed events?

If so, yes that should definitely be changed.
Maybe at least mirroring YouTube videos would be a good start.
Right now Win 10 Home is $119.99. If Microsoft actually said what you claim, they're lying. Either way, they're doing it for the money. Whether that money comes from the actual software, hardware, ads, user data, or some other way, it's the reason why Microsoft will continue to push their software onto people, including people that don't want it. In fact, with the addition of ads and user tracking, I wouldn't be surprised if they drop the actual dollar cost of the software in favor of data cost a la Chrome OS and other Google products. And it still wouldn't change anything. Profit would still be the reason for them adding new features and forcing people to upgrade.
For what it's worth, at this point, both SPW and SPW-R are commonly used. SPW == Hippocampal sharp waves, SPW-R == Hippocampal sharp wave ripples. Often referred to as just sharp waves or sharp wave ripples.

Have you considered that women are just not interested in chess, or are generally worse at it than men, so they rage-quit?

Hou Yifan, "The Queen of Chess" is ranked #1 among women has a FIDE rating of 2651, which places her below 100th place among men.

https://ratings.fide.com/top.phtml?list=women

https://ratings.fide.com/top.phtml?list=men

That distribution is actually normal, considering how many more men play chess than women. But I haven't heard a good explanation on why so few women play chess in the first place (other than the two reasons I suggested).

Defect rate dropped by 80%, I wonder how much of the productivity boost is related to that.
a) For what it's worth, the The_Donald subreddit doesn't brigade and the moderators do a lot of work to ensure that they're complying with Reddit rules.

b) Having backups and an alternate hosting service is always very good advice, especially for Google's services where they use algorithms to shut down and ban people all of the time.

c) It's not in Google or YouTube's DNA to provide actual decent human customer service. They don't even provide that for actual paying customers, let alone their free services! Sadly, I think YouTube laughs at your petition idea.

That'd be a good example of a similar community I guess, ~but my other requirement was focus on research papers, not discussions.~

Worth digging into though, thanks.

Update: Actually is apparently focused on papers. Thanks!

I want something more like "most popular papers across any field" ("science", while broad, seems already somewhat focused).

It's just always fun to discover stuff that may be unrelated to what you do or know.
This is a great idea, a big improvement over the nonsense used by many current rankers. But I'd love to see the impact of the journals or the number of references of each pub weight the counts. Count clearly overvalues department size.

I've been evaluating Cuda and OpenCL while trying to produce some target independent code.

My impression is that while Cuda might not win, OpenCL will almost certainly lose. OpenCL seems to be a monster compromise interface which takes into account all the architectures of the members of a large consortium. It's the sort-of designed-by-committee api that a developer has to fight against to accomplish anything. Naturally its many years behind Cuda in features, etc.

An open-source library with equivalent qualities to Cuda is needed- ie, a library intended to aid developers, allow abstract c++ to be easily become parallel code, provide reasonable tools and documentation etc.

One promising example is amd's Hip

"HIP allows developers to convert CUDA code to portable C++. The same source code can be compiled to run on NVIDIA or AMD GPUs."

A big thing I've done is use my multiplexer segregate contexts. When I spin up screen (tmux would work the same, just never switched) I set an environment variable noting the particular context I'm working in, and I adjust my PATH, HISTFILE, and more based on this variable.
When people think they want a random output, usually what they really want is a pseudo-random output. People think randomness in some contexts is unfair because it isn't predictable. I don't think we should introduce gender-balancing to the algo, even though I doubt it's random to begin with. Once we cross that line, why not race balancing as well? People just need to be satisfied with the luck of the draw and redefine what "fair" means when dealing with things like random sorting or filtering.

> Unrestricted distribution allows entities to profit

It is the other way round. Restricted distribution drives up the price and allows entities to profit. That is how copyright and pretty much any other monopoly works.

Just try to profit from free (libre) software distribution. You can set whatever price you want and try to sell it, like, for example, https://conversations.im/ does, but you will get no profit besides what you get from selling additional services and making donations more convenient.
While I can't comment on this system (but I'm going to have a look at it), a very mature and similar system is gap ( www.gap-system.org, github.com/gap-system/gap ). It uses a custom python-ish language (it actually pre-dates Python by quite a few years, and has some very interesting features in the type system, hence why it uses a custom language)

I've read two books recently:

* Contact
by Carl Sagan

I had previously seen the movie. The book (or rather the movie) takes a bit of a departure. The backgrounds on all the different characters as well as the political parts weren't that interesting to me. But overall the book was great.

* We Are Legion (We Are Bob) (Bobiverse)
by Dennis Taylor

I'd suggest listening to it on Audiobook. Excellent read. Makes me want to buy the book and read through it again. I can't wait until the next one comes out in (March?)

I don't understand what you saying. That the rich and the poor don't drink moderately? That it's related to climate? The study was done near where I live.

Very good, valid and interesting points.

However, I think you need also to understand Picasso's answer in the context of his art and what computers were until the 70's.

Picasso was one of the most radical language innovators in art history. Every couple of years he would radically break up with the language and style he mastered in the previous years. He was an obsessive revolutionary.

On the other hand, until the late 70's computers were not really creative tools for artists. True, they were for engineers and programmers. But only after the introduction of the Mac, Amiga, Windows, NeXT, etc they'd be used for visual arts, design, CG, music, architecture, virtual reality, gaming, etc.

So, today, besides of providing answers that lead to other questions (as you mentioned), they now can be used to create real art in the Picasso sense: as new ways to perceive reality and to express it.

This seems a bit over the top. What are the odds I'll end up in the background of someone's selfie that they post on Facebook? I imagine the chances are incredibly small. And if I choose to take a picture with someone, I just have to be aware that it may end up on social media and be OK with the baggage that comes with that.
News flash Mr. or Ms. communist, life isn't fair. Maybe those people should have worked smarter and sacrificed the right things. How many people do you know in poverty who read books? Nonfiction books?

Everyone from my highschool who is doing nothing at some dead end job 10 years later is there because they didn't try and work hard at all, and they sure as heck didn't try to read any books or learn any skills that society found valuable.

And somehow these people deserve my stuff? They get to treat my success and reward for working hard as some kind of loot chest that they can just take from me?
I think the lesson you learn from games teaching you programming within the game is that the entire point of coding is to create something interesting.

TLDR; The efficiency gains from using true iambic keying are overstated. In addition, at rates above 30 wpm it is very difficult to actually use a true iambic method, so it's better to quit trying and use a non-iambic method.

I find this to be very timely, since I'm currently studying to upgrade from General to Extra and also planning to finally master Morse code. (By "master," I mean get to the skill level my dad demonstrated.) I learned to send on a straight key and never graduated to a bug, let alone an iambic paddle. I haven't used Morse code for almost three decades now, so I will be relearning how to send it. I never got much faster than about 15 wpm previously.

My dad could send and receive Morse code at around 70 - 80 wpm. He used a two-paddle iambic keyer very skilfully, but I have no idea whether he actually "squeezed" on letters like F, and he's gone now so I can't ask. I'll have to start practicing again to figure out what works best.

In my particular case it was FedEx/Smartpost. In my area, the USPS leg has been very reliable, 100% next day delivery from drop off at their Springfield, MA center to my door in Albany NY.

> The_Donald subreddit doesn't brigade

Let me point you in the direction of this quote:

> The admins accused the_donald users of “brigading” or mass downvoting comments by r/politics moderators explaining why the posts were deleted and sending them threatening personal messages.

Oh, look at this other post trying to stop The_Donald from brigading so much

> Reddit announced this week that it would tweak the algorithm on r/all, a feed of popular posts across all the site’s subreddits, to stop certain communities from promoting large numbers of their own posts into the top of that feed.

> “I cannot deny their [The_Donald] behavior hastened its deployment,”

Well, considering all the computing power they have (more than 100k servers across dozens of datacenters - and that data is from 2010) this is not a problem.

Hell, they can even quickly detect copyright infringement a posted video right? Ever posted a video with some background music? I don't think computing power is a problem...
Without knowing the settings which were used by each renderer (and thus stuff like the BSDF materials, sampling techniques, random number generator sequences, etc, etc), it's very difficult to say.

All these things play a crucial part in how efficiently a renderer can produce an image with as little noise as possible.

But it's also possible to look through the noise (ignore it), and look for issues - i.e. the Classroom scene is very odd as Appleseed doesn't have soft shadows (what light type was used? PhysicalSky/Sun? HDR IBL?), and the Tungsten illumination from the environment is less warm.

I basically use tmux as my window manager. I only typically open two programs: a browser, and a terminal. Both are always in full-screen mode.

You asked the question here, not the computer. There is causality there, but it's one-sided: ask a question, get a response, and use the response to inform a new question. In other words, nothing about the response itself begs the question.

Edit: "One-sided" is probably ambiguous. What I mean: You don't ask the computer why it responded the way it did to your initial question, at least in any meaningful sense. You understand, abstractly, that the organization of instructions in the computer's program interacted with the input to produce an output. You might ask yourself why the response is something unexpected, but it seems strange to ask a state machine for a reason in the same way that we might ask a child to justify their dislike of brussels sprout.

>There are 3 million people in America earning more than $500K a year

There aren't nearly that many people earning $500k a year regularly. A huge percentage of the people in a given year who earn that much did so because of a one time real estate sale. Then you have another large chunk who some kind of temporary windfall--particularly good bonuses, commissions etc... And people who sold a business.

Basically if you look at people who regularly make $500k+ from a job, the percentage from top schools is going to be very high.
