+1 for Multiplicative Weights Update as a technique, and kudos for the nice write-up.

Having studied this myself a couple of years ago, I believe an intuitive way to understand its power is that MWU approximately optimizes an l_\infty-norm by approximating it with a sum of exponentials (the potential function from the proof). The analogy isn't perfect, but it helped me reason about it.

There is also a tentative link to tropical geometry because of this. When you have a problem that by its nature is "tropical" (using addition and taking maximums), the MWU method may be useful via translating into the non-tropical world of multiplication and addition, respectively.

News websites with URLs and names that look like they come out of an "SEO words" bin make me wary. What is "The Record" (By Recorded Future)? Is it a legit news organization?

Edit: Wikipedia says: "Recorded Future is a privately held cybersecurity company founded in 2009 with headquarters in Somerville, Massachusetts. The company specializes in the collection, processing, analysis, and dissemination of threat intelligence."

OK, a company that's been around 12 years is I guess legitimate.
Asking for other people to comment on someone's reputation instead of doing that research yourself to make up your own mind is not a good habit. That's an easy way to get manipulated.
Sometimes yes, computers play a certain way and make moves that simply aren't intuitive to humans, especially not lower rated players.

However the most obvious cheaters are more easily given away by time between moves. When they take the same time between every move whether it be a deep positional move or an obvious recapture, you can be quite sure something fishy is going on. Sometimes they can have literally 1 legal move and still take 10 seconds to find it.

A good player using an engine sparingly however would be very difficult to spot in online chess, especially in a single match.

Yes, I had that impression too. If my memory is right, that's how Reagan broke the Air Traffic Controllers' strike: many of them were military reserve members, and so Reagan fired them as civilians and then recalled them to active military service where they were subject to the UMCJ.

it was absolutely the right thing to do, they would've been massively over-exposed, somehow it's painted as villainous and underhanded.

If they had lots of deposits and went under surely people would've been less than impressed and asking why they didn't take action sooner.
If you're getting margin calls on your exposure to a certain stock, it makes sense to allow people to sell (thus reducing your exposure) rather than buy

Even stack tabs by host is not unique with this extension is it? :)

It's made for power users as I said, for example you can change the right click menu on the tab bar and have only things you care about in there instead of 1000 options. I bet there are other "unique" features, but that's not the point.

This type of depressive nihilism is just a reaction to the destruction of values, after that you can progress towards an optimistic nihilism, building your values on truth instead of lies.

> I think you might be interested in TCEC which has fair fights between Stockfish and LeelaChessZero

This is pretty questionable in my judgment, actually. TCEC's GPU hardware is 4x Nvidia V100 data center class GPUs, with a pretty powerful processor to boot. A quick search suggests that ONE of these will run you close to $10k, so we're talking about an all-in system worth mid five figures.

Meanwhile, the CPU hardware is pretty dated at this point. They have 4x Intel E5-4669V4, which is from early 2016. It's not easy to find this processor for sale any more (because, again, it's old), but prices seem to run in the $750 - $1500 range if you look on places like Ebay. Meanwhile even on Ebay a V100 is likely to run you $7K+.

I don't know that it's possible to compare "performance" between GPUs and CPUs in a one to one way, but looking at cost, it seems pretty clear that you'd have to spend a lot more to get a system that allows Leela to play at the kind of level you see on TCEC.

Looking at power consumption tells a similar story. Nvidia's data sheet for the V100 shows a maximum power consumption of 250 watts per GPU, so 1000W when running at maximum load (as a chess engine is presumably likely to do). Meanwhile, Intel places the TDP of the E5-4669v4 CPU at 135 watts. Even assuming they're undershooting that by a bit, we're probably talking 600 watts for that system ... on a rather old CPU model.

I'd say it's not a fair comparison. I'm not mad about it, because at the end of the day computer chess tournaments are for entertainment. It's much better if the best neural net programs are competitive with more traditional chess engines, even if by "objective" standards they are weaker.
> The addon doesn't have the concept of named groups

Actually, it has, but it's seems to lack UI-Integration for whatever reason. I use this bookmarklet for some years not to create a Group-Tab:

javascript:(function(){window.open("ext+treestyletab:group?title=NewGroup&temporary=false")})();

To rename it, just click the title inside the group-tab.
it was the right thing to do on the moment, but what was wrong was:

a) cutting corners and ending up in that position

b) not being completely transparent about what was happening
It never did that. It got the license wrong so it wasn't an exact copy...
Yes. But. For an iDE you write your own code. For a visual tool like this, I wonder if the “code” is already written and it just spits out code snippets it contains. So the code would all be GPL?

That you think social punishment is a thing that should happen, means you and I have irreconcilable world views / moral values.

You started this sub thread with “His parents were convicted of felony murder. That is not a violent crime per se.”

I hope you now have the facts to see that Chesa Boudin is pleading for clemency for a terrorist murderer. That is not the kind of person who should be a DA! That is the job of a defense attorney, and Chesa would have been a great candidate for the SF Public Defender’s office. But when you hire a criminal apologist to be the city’s prosecutor you get predictably disastrous results.
It's odd that it would be 1 out of 6 or 7, because when high elo streamers like Hikaru or Chessbrah are doing speed runs, they very often go on a 100 win streak, which sounds exceedingly unlikely if the odds of facing an engine user would be 1 out of 6/7.

An engine user would definitely beat them, unless they were using it sparingly of course, which can be, but I don't think it would be that obvious for you in this case as well.

There are examples where they face an engine and it's obvious, but it doesn't seem 1 out of 7 times.

Well human labor is a somewhat renewable source of energy. And when people perform work for us it saves us the energy of performing the same work ourselves in the future. And when people perform work to produce artifacts such as planted crops, structures, machines, buildings, materials, working inventory the work is stored in physically observable material capital held on land. If we want to coin the material capital and place a shared currency into circulation backed by material capital this can be accomplished by having public employees of local land loan offices appraise the minimum labor replacement cost of the material capital which the borrow agrees to hold on site and require the loan to be repaid before the capital fully depreciates.

I'm confused, how is COU speed tied to memory? AFAIK, memory is tied to CPU base speed which is almost always 100 MHz. The CPU then just scales it's own multiplier.

Ironically the military is one of the worse places for usage and wastage of time.

There is tons of accountability for some stuff ("How much diesel did you put in that jeep?") but very little for people's time ("Let's have 300 infantry here an hour earlier than necessary before an event, even though it costs X per hour per person for them to be standing around doing nothing.)

It's also the same around some safety stuff ("Everyone wear a reflective belt going on a run") vs time base safety stuff ("That platoon has just been on exercise and barely slept for 72 hours and everyone is now driving home.")

Don't get me started on the overall wastage the military spends on talent management. Doing an extremely expensive and complex course that takes a year+ to complete? Cool, you might often be actually fullfilling that role for one/two years max afterwards before your moved on to next role doing something different elsewhere.

Not necessarily - you're not feeding the plastic waste to cows. You take the microbes and dump them and the plastic waste into vats. This allows you (similarly to existing biogas plants!) to capture gaseous byproducts of the plastic digestion.

You are taking yourself to serious.
My boss loves to play with the idea of outsourcing, but he seems to be aware of the issues to some degree. In our situation, the idea is pretty hilarious - we as developers have to make sure our products don't become unmaintainable, product management doesn't like to think things through when specifying new features, and we already don't get time for refactoring. I think outsourcing (especially when done to save money) requires pretty fantastic product management and my intuition is that it's fundamentally incompatible with a codebase that is growing along with the company.
I've been wishing someone would make something like this! Always frustrated me that tools like aimchess and openingtree only allow you to look at the two sources separately.. supposedly, at least in aimchess's case, the reason being that the rating systems are different.

How do you unify ratings?

Edit: ah I see you don't, makes sense I guess. Might be interesting to have them both on the same graph even if the y axis is different..
I don't want to advertise cheating or give any info about cheating, but a "good" cheater can also cheat in bullet and may be even go more undetected if they were to mix moves well.

Note: I have not cheated myself, but I can definitely see a way it can be done. I'm not sure if it would be good of me to describe the process of course... Just think what input you can have and what output you can get if you were to do this programmatically and you can very well imagine if it's possible, there are also existing tools for that. You don't have to open a chess engine in another window and manually do the movements, if you know how to script.

In bullet, I think may be, you could technically even use something to do "anti blundering", meaning you will blunder a lot less, because engine will just check whether it would be an obvious blunder, and block your move. May be you just allow few blunders, and I imagine it would be undetected. Sorry, again for brain storming about that. It is fascinating topic though. Engine could be running on a lower depth and it could be more sort of positional engine that does not do magical engine moves, but is trained on human players and using neural network mostly. Maybe it will just help you do theory openings. And you won't be able to charge anyone for cheating for following opening theory.
Extremely late reply!

Some specialization courses offer a certificate on Coursera. I don't know that it is recognized by institutions, but I believe completing an Andrew Ng class, with the addition of building a project with this new knowledge can be helpful.

I thought something like lichess actually compares the player's moves against something like Stockfish and if it matches too closely, they flag that user.

No, but you need to have a cash register approved by the tax authority. The cash register used by Coop the part of the system that was attacked. Coop could switch to a different approved cash register system, but that's presumably a fairly large project.

As hopefully many readers will realise, when it comes to computers and the internet, the "Optimists Archive" is orders of magnitude larger than and equally as amusing as the entire "Pessismists Archive" for all things. When the "fad" is also the means of publishing news of the "fad", it stands to reason the "news" will generally support the fad. The number of people who have and continue to use the internet to publish their "predictions for the future" is enormous. The number of accurate predictions is infinitesimally small.
A track record of being right is useless for having your advice be seen as "good advice".

It takes some politics, and interpersonal trust to get your advice taken seriously. Sadly, this also means looking past the technical details and considering organizationally why certain decisions need to be made. The company might prefer the occasional breach and "we are sorry" PR over spending a lot of money on network security, for example.
The Prune Date (2019)
Because tutorials often aren't featured here. Especially not video tutorials. If it introduced a concept or something it would be more in line what's normal on here. As a Javadeveloper for many years for which this could be relevant, I'm not too interested because it's not selling why it's useful, just diving into lots of code. So to be a bit blunt, but I don't think the quality warrants being on top.

And I know one's not supposed to speculate, but multiple upvotes in short time without any discussion for something of this caliber is a bit off.
Before the revolution, landlords in agricultural areas were already selling food to the industrial cities, with prices subject to market forces. After the revolution, the state planned this trade and set fixed prices for food so industrial workers could afford it. Since these prices were lower than what the landlords wanted to extract, they destroyed food rather than sell it to the state. “Fraud, famine and fascism” by Tottle has many quotes from primary sources, here’s a few http://marxism.halkcephesi.net/Ludo%20Martens/node77.html

Planning hasn’t been entirely centralised in any socialist country. There is naturally a lot of back and forth when determining what an area needs and what it can produce. A lot of planning is also delegated locally for matters that don’t affect other areas. Ultimately planning is the essential part, while some amount of centralisation is useful for optimisation to avoid merely local optimums.
Maybe someone has a really clever idea but I do not think anything rooted in the real world can work. You will always need some kind of sensor to record whatever it is that you are doing in the real world and you will have to prevent people from faking those sensor readings. If you had a central authority as root of trust you might be able to build some tamper-proof device that provides cryptographically attested values but I can not think of a way to do something like this without already having a root of trust.
Someone who plays a lot against a computer will often pick up the computer's style.

But sometimes a computer will make odd moves no human would ever make. I've been playing against an ios stockfish app to relearn how to play, and when it gets behind it starts throwing material away to delay the inevitable; a human would more likely keep the material and hope the opponent doesn't see the path to victory.

One way to detect use of an engine is to look for moves like this, though if it could be done algorithmicly then that same algorithm could be used to make the engine play more like a human.
30MHz in 1987? Not many people had such luxury. My family bought a ~12MHz 286 brand new in ~1992, and our 25MHz 486 was still years away (but yes, they had turbo buttons, and the 486 even had an LCD display showing the current frequency).
Compiling vs. not-compiling is only the tip of the iceberg; there’s a lot of other aspects of my development that don’t make sense until the very end. Arguably, the whole feature is basically useless until it’s finished; why would I keep working on it in any meaningful way after it is complete and running? If that happens, chances are that the ticket wasn’t atomic enough. There are exceptions of course, such as substantial rewrites for bug fixes, but those are by nature not the norm. As a result, my commit messages are only for me, which saves time in development. Commit messages “wip” and “working now” mean something to me, but definitely hold no value to whoever is doing a git blame in the future, which is another benefit of squashing.
Errm...I meant in the 'externalized' already 'dumped' phase.

Most Common Angular Mistakes Every Developer Should Avoid
It is said that if you do something wrong once, it is a mistake, but if you make the same mistake again, it becomes a habit. For a developer, getting on with these mistake-led habits is not something desired of a developer. An Angular developer, just like any other developer, can make a mistake, but what if you can avoid making these mistakes. Angular is a front-end framework that allows building client-side applications.
