Tying the Niemann scandal or changing practices into the chess engine discussion is I think wrong. As the article itself points out, chess engine use became ubiquitous and cheating as a concern emerged almost 20 years back. The article also vastly overstates the importance of NN chess models. Conventional Stockfish already played at levels so far beyond human capacity a few years back it makes no practical difference. (chess GM's literally would draw or lose with pawn odds many years ago), and professional players have been using engines extensively for well over a decade.

What's starting to shift in chess isn't tech but the culture, largely driven by the social media around it, the livestreaming medium where now much of it takes place in real time, and so on. Chess isn't becoming like poker, it's just becoming like any other sport that gets the entertainment sector treatment, including increasing amounts of drama.

It reminds me a little bit of a recent thread on how Substack allegedly revolutionized writing. There also it wasn't substack, which is basically a blog generator with a payment button, but the social networks around it that create all of the new dynamics. I expect a lot more cheating allegations, personal feuds, played up controversy not because of technology that affects the game itself but because of tech that changes how the game is broadcast and how people participate in it.
The goal of projects like this (I have no contact with this one) is usually to convince politicians and/or the public of their results, and those groups are the ones to actually push change.
You put it better than I could have, thank you.
It's expected that there are tools, clearly, since people seem to know how to do this kind of thing. Good tools that an interested beginner can use as a lab are another thing.

If you skip back to the first question, then. It isn't naive. You chose to be short when you could have said nothing.

Computing as we know it (post Moore's law) depends on semiconductor technology. It is quite a stretch to suppose that, if Babbage had produced a working device, then the period of Moore's law expansion would have occurred 100 years earlier, given that it depended on the development of semiconductor devices, which in turn depended on developing a quantum theory of condensed matter.

We've only had paid staff for about 6 weeks. We've run several experiments and started from scratch a few times over the years. We've been slowly inching the project forward in our spare time; I was the only volunteer for much of that time, and I can't even code!

What ruins tournaments is inviting a guy who plays at 2900 level with little security measures and barely at GM level once those are introduced (happened at Sinquefield cup). It doesn't help has cheated in the past and plays his best chess consistently when there is live broadcast going on.

Magnus isn't yet feeling his age chess wise either. He wins most tournaments he enters, including demolishing 4-0 a guy who won the Candidates twice in a row (the most important tournament in chess for every player who isn't currently a world champion) and he is league above others rating wise.
That part is one of the things that makes all of it extra funny. By everyones content from each platform ending up on all the other platforms, they get subjected to a different set of ranking algorithms. The ones that spread beyond one platform have managed a weirdly difficult bit of Darwinism.
After I got turned on to Petar Zeihan the first thing I did was went back and watched his older talks, after all plenty of people can make good sounding predictions, first you want to see what he was saying before to see his track record.

I found a talk form 2018 in which he said there are going to be 3 major bush wars of global import, Ukraine-Russia, Iran-Saudi Arabia, and China-Indian Ocean. So far Ukraine has panned out, he also predicted where the political parties are going right now in the US and why they seem so out of whack.

This is largely the opposite of what I see during Q&As at tech conferences. Typically the asker puts forward a question to show off how much they know about the subject and challege the presenter. Perhaps this is due to the 'leetcode grinding' culture surrounding tech where everyone needs to display their ego.

Total Commander and Ghost Commander on Android solve the problem of two panels in the portrait orientation by displaying one of them and having a button to switch to the other one.

A quick Google says the Aral Sea is currently about 170,000 km^2 and the largest solar farm is 160km^2.

I think it would be difficult to reduce evaporation that way.

I think the logistical complications of salt water would further impede that approach.

Finally, solar is an industrial technology and would likely have a substantial negative environmental impact on an already compromised set of ecosystems.

Examples of "fully-featured" what though? The more features you add, the more combinations of ways to configure things there are.

The problem with "fully-featured" examples is that people copy and paste instead of learn how the software works. I'd rather our user base be skilled crafting configuration.

I mostly agree with the article, but the title is downright wrong.

Even a relatively literal read of the words "supply chain" is reasonably appropriate, even for FOSS. Wikipedia's current definition for supply chain is:

> In commerce, a supply chain refers to the network of organizations, people, activities, information, and resources involved in delivering a product or service to a consumer.

There's nothing in that definition that necessitates a formal agreement, support commitment, etc.

> it's always seemed like just below the surface is a cocky, dismissive guy that doesn't suffer fools gladly

If this is how he feels and he suppresses it 'just below the surface', isn't that good enough? If he naturally feels that way but tries not to act on it, and to top it off, actually is the best, is dismissing things that deserve to be dismissed, and is dealing with fools, then I would say that is an admirable trait.
So fwiw I think the whole concept of the "software supply chain" actually stems from "supply chain" attacks. It's kind of like once that turn of speech entered the fray, suddenly there was a software supply chain (for OSS).

The sub-optimal moves he’s talking about here isn’t really a form of subterfuge. He plays sub-optimal lines because it’s less likely that his opponents have studied them. If he has studied them in his preparation, then he can potentially gain an advantage that overcomes the disadvantage he put himself in. Magnus also plays sub-optimal lines for the sole purpose of complicating the position, because he (usually rightly) trusts his ability to calculate complex, out-of-book positions over his opponent’s.

I don’t think those comments from Magnus support the point in this article at all really.

Any software calculator that has a tape feature works well for me, I think the built in windows calc app does.

I've been using CalcTape for a few years now, it's a calculator and notepad in one.

I appreciate the simplicity of the side by side calculator app though.
I suspect that percentage varies significantly between geographic and cultural regions.

Further, "normal" typically means that not only is a status common, but that it does not interfere with daily life. Even if 100% of kids have low self esteem, it is "low" and not "normal" because, by definition, it interfers with common social interactions and daily tasks.
Why do you think this is controversial? Whether a company works with another software company that is bonded and/or a person uses OSS if something bad happens to the customer it still is reflective on the company using the software in a negative way. No company would refute that.

I rarely have seen court cases in regard to customer damage try to quantify negligence, because the court system is missing a lot of nuance in our industry. Pragmatically speaking the courts are ruling on the severity of the customer impact. There can and will always be an argument that is subjective about negligence in regard to how much you protect yourself from a malicious event vs the severity of said event. This isn't specific to software engineering either like concert venues that are mishandled and result in accidental death.

Your comments around npm dependencies not being reviewed and shows an engineering team is negligent seem contextually correct depending on the damage of said system the engineers are managing. If it's a bank system that leads to fraud then I agree. If it's a start up that runs a website; I hardly categorize this as negligent. Every company I have worked for has understood this trade off. If you are trying to be over zealous about the definition of negligence then I could understand how that would be controversial.
An absolute gem. I’ve listened all the way through twice.

I only brought up halvings because it explained the chart. But let's ignore halvings and talk about mining incentive then. Fees are the less important half of the story. The main driver is difficulty adjustments. If scarce fees come in, difficulty goes down so profitability increases. If plentiful fees come in, difficulty will go up so profitability decreases. Fees are actually damped by the adjustments so the absolute amount of fees doesn't really matter. So long as fees are above 0.00000000, the network will be fine. I predict that there will always be some baseline level of competition keeping fees above 0.00000000, but if that is wrong, then things would likely fall apart one day.

Read two paragraphs down in the wikipedia article you copied that from: " In 2015, Guerra testified to an international tribunal that he had lied and changed his story multiple times in the RICO trial. Guerra admitted that there was no evidence supporting the allegation that Donziger bribed him or paid him for delivering a ghostwritten judgment, and that large parts of Guerra's testimony in the RICO case were either exaggerated or untrue."

Kaplan is a very pro-corporate judge and the appeals court has ruled against his overreach already. I'd take his analysis with a large grain of salt, but there is certainly a lot of fog of war in this case.

I think Chevron paying their witness (Guerra) $12k/mo is quite suspicious and Kaplan did not object to that witness' testimony. Certainly encourage more people to follow this case - it's pretty interesting (and a bit scary IMO) to see how it is playing out.

> there is no underlying competition there for the FTC to try and preserve.

This is where you’ve made a mistake. It just means they thought there was more value in selling than competing. It doesn’t mean there’s zero value in competing, doesn’t mean they have no will or desire to compete.

Mmm...yeah it's like ebay's auction system, you can tell it how high you will go but...no, just no. Better to just wait until the last moments of the auction and then tell ebay in successive increments--in a real auction--how high you're willing to go. Can't let people see your reserve price generally. It's very private, essential to private property. Without it, and without competition, you give up everything you have and nothing actually makes life better than not having it. Well like there can be ultimatums, that's the alternative.

What is the dark pattern at play here?
That kind of depends on how big each record is. And it sounds like these records are denormalized from multiple sources, so you probably have several transactions for each record. It's possible to do batching in that situation, but it definitely isn't always easy.

So you're saying if Disney were to make a new star wars movie with a brand new character who was a stormtrooper who happened to be played by a black actor, there would be no controversy? How about if Amazon made a Lord of the Rings TV show and some of the newly created Elf characters weren't white? No one would have any issue there either, right?
