Magnus basically cannot be proven wrong - but time will tell. If Hans continues to perform well in OTB tournaments, and he's not caught cheating, eventually I think the suspicion will die down.

The issue is that will he get that chance at all?

Also, Hans has won some great games in short time controls.
> If he did cheat it should be really obvious because his performance will suddenly drop

I mean, Magnus is so much more better player than Hans that even if Hans didn't cheat he would probably be worse in rematch. But in all sports sometimes underdogs win. In couple yt videos i watched it was said that Magnus played bad game and that Hans already gained an advantage in opening. Hans said that he prepared opening play but if he is indeed a cheater he maybe used engine just for opening. We'll probably never get an answer if there was cheating or not
>at least about the moves played

You missed a large part. Some of his moves were "somewhat suspect". However, he was interviewed after the game with Magnus and he really could not explain why he was making the moves he made. Even the interviewers were almost laughing as he gave his "analysis" for his own moves. He played off his top engine moves as just getting lucky, while at the same time stating he didn't make other moves because they would have weakened his position (when in fact it was the other way around), while also stating he made other moves to strengthen his position (when in fact it was weakening).

Nothing he said made sense. He is playing against the top players in the entire world, and he can't really describe his games. This is super genius territory, and yet he just claims his skills to mostly just be based on luck.
I hate to see a piece of open-source software abandoned and broken. But I love to see a piece of software “abandoned” and still working because it has been designed for long-term use and simply doesn’t need updating.

That is how open-source grows. Because you can’t grow a codebase if you have to keep updating and fixing what you’ve already done. As you have to keep updating and fixing stuff, new progress slows and eventually stops. It’s the same for “codebases” like ecosystems/package repos and open-source in general
>It's actually less predictable than a GC that you can run manually at fixed intervals or whenever a convenient opportunity arises.

Not really. It's difficult to reason about, but it's entirely deterministic, unlike a tracing GC.
I think the statement is a little bit more nuanced than that:

"His over the board progress has been unusual, and throughout our game in the Sinquefield Cup I had the impression that he wasn't tense or even fully concentrating on the game in critical positions, while outplaying me as black in a way I think only a handful of players can do."

This isn't just "I got weird vibes" or something, this is the professional analysis of someone who has spent a lifetime analysing particular board states, the overall flow of the game, and the psychology of his opponents. He may have his hands tied in terms of what exactly he can say at this time, but the telegraph here is that he suspects cheating because of specific, observable factors in how the prior game(s) went down.

And those factors may ultimately be too subtle to be judged by anyone other than a jury of other top-tier professional chess players, but ultimately that doesn't matter, if it's enough to trigger a more thorough investigation then concrete evidence will emerge one way or the other and show Carlsen to be right or wrong on his hunch.
It is relevant to remember that he "admitted" to cheating on two different occasions only after he was caught and banned for doing so. He did not voluntarily come forward and confess of his own volition.
No the best way to clear his name is to keep playing and keep winning. If he can do that then the chess world will get over Magnus's whining pretty quick.
Yup, such a nice thing. I kinda wish though that the screen was without this weird green tint. And also in my experience the screen scratches far too easily compared to even an old 8.

Cheating ONLINE - very much a different game, really, I would argue.
The copyright holder can absolutely change the license of a published work. The FOSS license thereby becomes unavailable; no new users can become licensees.

If the FOSS license was such that it didn't restrict use, but only redistribution, then only the existing redistributors are licensees. The existing users have no rights.

If the new license says that unlicensed use is not allowed, then the users are now infringing. They didn't agree to any license in order to use the program when it was free and therefore they are not in any agreement that can be grandfathered.

Even if a license says that it's irrevocable (or some doctrine applies which makes it so, regardless) it can only be irrevocable to those users who have entered into the license. Those users may enjoy the continued right to redistribute the program. However, new users receiving the program do not benefit from the irrevocability; they have no existing license contract that can be grandfathered.

If a program has gone from FOSS to "cannot redistribute or use", the situation is like that existing licensees are allowed to give away copies, but the new users receiving them aren't allowed to do anything with those copies.

Software whose copyright holder has expressed revocation of a FOSS license should be regarded by all parties as a piece of radioactive or biohazardous waste.

Don't even think about maintaining a fork or anything of the sort.
The only competent CTOs I have seen in the telecom and network engineering business are ones who came up through the ranks either from field technician, or junior NOC desk person, to network engineer and onwards through 10, 15, 20 years of career progression. Everyone who did not take this path was missing critical information that should be used in network architecture decision making.
I’d basically agree that a good game with old technology is better than a bad game with new technology. Cloud Gaming is a bit like Blockchain gaming in that there is a contingent of firms that think it’s the future but nobody bothered to ask the players what they think.

This is Google we are talking about, however, and they have advanced technology in their DNA. In fact, they are such believers in technology that a believer in games is going to feel unsupported at Google whatever they do.

If the goal was to produce exclusive games with the brand power of Nintendo then the Stadia studio was doomed. When it comes to games that are exclusive because of technology than Google had a chance and they could have demonstrated the concept, made a framework accessible to people who were better at games, and get patents to lock down the technology.

I’d contrast the Nintendo strategy to the Id Games strategy —- even though the ludic design of Id Games were superb they kept making the same game over and over again motivated by improvements in technology. It’s not the only or even the best way to make it in games, but is is the path Google rejected in favor of having no path. Cloud gaming really needed something like that because it needs to answer the question “Why?”

The game I’d point to for inspiration is Titanfall which showed what was possible with cloud-based simulation. At first glance Titanfall was just another shooter but it was fun for everyone no matter how good or bad of a player they were and was bigger and more tightly coupled than previous multiplayer combat games. I see a worthwhile cloud-based game being something like Titanfall squared for whatever genre it is based on.
It does, but scalafix helps to avoid some of these issues. I’m not sure how important a very opinionated compiler is to you, but a compiler that does what it can + a good linter isn’t the worst combination.

Oh, they get it.

Apple products very much have a time and a place. Their plan is recurring revenue. Something that happened 3 years ago is almost entirely irrelevant to them. It's true with both hardware and software.

Wii-style games on AppleTV would not be a win for them. They don't want to sell a few million copies of Wii Sports once every 3-5 years. They want you buying a new 99¢ game at least once a month. They want you spending $5-10 in micro-transactions a month. They want you subscribed to AppleOne for $15-30 a month. They want you to buy a whole new iPhone every 2-3 years and start the process all over again with some new AirPods, cases and bands in between.

Apple doesn't want to sell you a new game for $59 every 2 years. They want to sell you what amount to an average of $59 worth of goods and services a month… forever. And while that sounds like a lot, that's a low target. If you have your TV subscriptions through Apple and Apple Care you can easily be contributing $100/mo or more to Apple's bottom line.
Regarding Headley's work: At what point does a "translation" become "Interpretation"? There seems to be no argument in the several reviews/comments I have seen of the book, that she is claiming a literal translation or to understand Beowulf in a traditional sense. As a non-lit major, it seems past writers have attempted to capture the mechanisms and literal meaning and tone of the original, in the most accessible way possible for the language and dialect of the time. Headly said "fuck it" and used particularly modern slang to make almost a parody of the telling.

I'm not offended by it, but /if/ it can be said that prior translators kept their bias and creativity to the minimum required to maintain story and poetic elements, she went far beyond such shackles. It therefore would never be considered a canonical work, even if it sees uptake in some classrooms.
I don't think K8s at least will autoscale quickly enough to mask something like that.
1,000,000 paying developers is $99 million in revenue -- every year. This is easily an incentive for Apple.
Not really. The best you could hope for would to just be digging through the large threads on the subreddit: https://teddit.net/r/chess
Magnus did have the same opening, but not the same sequence of moves (transposition) in several games. So that's just wrong.
TikTok faces $29M fine for 'failing to protect UK kids' privacy'
In this case it seems most of the unusual behavior occurred after the match, where (I've seen claimed) Niemann gave obviously wrong reasons why he had played so well on such an uncommon line, and was also not able to explain why he made particular choices he did playing it.
But why though?

Lets assume just for the sake of argument that Magnus has insider information from chess.com making him 98% certain that Niemann is cheating.

Why would he hand him a game that's going to be watched worldwide, where Magnus has nothing to win. Since if he wins we really still don't know anything one way or the other. But he also has everything to lose. If Hans is cheating and manages to pull off something again, then Magnus is cripeling his own reputation.

Magnus seems to be doing the right thing here, which is voicing his concerns, refusing to play him, and asking Niemann for permission to speak on the matter fully. Niemann is doing what you'd expect of a cheater, which is to stay quiet, dismiss the discussions, having difficulty explaining his plays, and pretty much just holding back from letting chess.com or Magnus divulge what information they have from the inside of his bans.

Still sounds like over-engineering to me. It's trivial to make systemd supervise a service and automatically restart it on failure.

> CTOs have to be very clear with everyone that if quality falls below a certain point then everything will be paused to focus on improving quality.

This strikes me as almost Dilbertian. I think quality is hugely important, but I think don't think you can get it with dramatastic managerial showboating. I think it's something that you bake in with all sorts of practices. I also think the right choices are local and particular, so pausing all sorts of teams because of quality issues is inevitably going to waste a lot of time.

A real head-shaker for me.
Can you elaborate a bit further how you combine both?
Well, remember, you don't have full information. Especially in an "all pass" auction from opponents.

Interestingly, the computers would to MUCH better on defense. Because as you bid, you speak about the distribution of your hand, and your partner does the same about theirs. (Even in negative inferences.)

And trust me: Good opponents will use that information, already.

So far, bridge has found the smoking guns because honestly: The cheaters have sucked at cheating.

If they bothered to actually encrypt their signals at all, they would have been suspected, but not caught.

To answer the question: Even today. Good players will know the answer to when to take which finesses. Where good, is probably around Life Master and a bit under.
You can still do that in this kind of setup, just put loadbalancer like HAProxy on both that sends traffic to both nodes but prefers "the one that's local" in default config. Then you can use the LB to move traffic as fast or as smoothly as possible, and it also masks failures like "app on current node dies", as the traffic near-instantly switches to the other, at some small latency cost.

This also gives you a bit more resilience, if the app on node dies (out of memory/disk/bug/whatever), the proxy will just send the traffic to the other node without having to wait for DNS to switch
How do you prove a negative?

Sinquefield Cup arbiters already sent a press release saying they found no evidence of cheating.

Magnus' intuition is not evidence, full stop.

Hans' play itself is not evidence, full stop.

Only actual evidence of cheating , the means and methods used, the conspirators, are sufficient.

By all means, the court of public opinion is for all to own, but Magnus is already "flat out wrong" by the actual standards of competition.
Tragedy of the commons applies to a community shared resource not a service like Cloudflare. Effective monopoly makes a little more sense but I guess I sort of object since there is literally nothing other than money preventing someone from competing with them.

Switching costs for Cloudflare are effectively 0 other than the cost of using a less effective competitor. I could turn them off right now for my properties and have almost no impact. They still have to compete to maintain that position so monopoly doesn't feel like the right term here.
I'm not sure why you think anything has changed, in any sport.
> Should they be able to jump into the code, start grabbing JIRA tickets on a moment's notice, or throw together a new feature when a deadline is looming?

In the roles they worked at immediately before becoming CTO they certainly should have had the technical capability and knowledge to do so, yes. Maybe not directly as CTO anymore but they need the grounding and experience to understand what the various tiers of engineers underneath them are grappling with.
Some things matter so little that the penalties can be extremely high; for example, nobody needs to play chess so the penalty for cheating at chess can be a lifetime ban from sanctioned tournaments.

Apple just like most sane platforms have a deprecation policy.

First they deprecate APIs and then remove support entirely. She said herself that she had to make changes to update her code to the latest SDK.
I'm not a strong enough player/analyst to have a meaningful opinion on whether or not Niemann cheated. It's possible he cheated.

I'm taken aback at the manner in which these accusations have been made. I guess that Magnus felt that the only way he could force FIDE and tournament organizers into action was with a big, public, shocking act.

It feels like a black eye for chess no matter the outcome. Either Niemann is proven guilty and professional chess has to grapple with that hit to its integrity, or the situation isn't resolved and the question of Niemann's (and pro chess') integrity is left open indefinitely.

I don't know to what extent Magnus has pushed for anti-cheating measures or increased scrutiny of Niemann behind closed doors, but I'll be very disappointed if it turns out that this public spectacle could've been avoided.
Also, it is likely that Hans is higher rated than he is, which would make his chances better. Chess rating is earned so you can be underrated.
Y Combinator is still paranoid
What makes you think it's only a few and not large scale? And why would forcing a developer to update their feature-complete game result in stopping support of "old bugs and poor API choices"? There is no requirement to update the API level. Read the article.
> IMO it's a pretty severe design choice.

I don't think that's true, otherwise it would've been fixed already. For the main use case of Go (https://go.dev/blog/survey2022-q2-results), APIs and web services it just doesn't matter if the binary is 1MB or 30MB. Unless you are working on some embedded systems where space is scarce I don't see it as a big issue.

>Poker has always been about unnerving your opponent through stoicism or deception

As much as TV would make you think so that's mostly a myth. It was probably more so the case in the past but now it's at most a very minor part of the game, and most (typically all) of your edge comes from better card playing.

A huge river bluff is viewed in the lens of 'I've represented a range which includes strong hands, and I make money if I get a fold X% of the time while increasing the call chance by Y% when I do have a good hand in this spot' and not 'I'm going to unnerve him by throwing money to make a bad decision'.

As an outsider to the chess world, this all seems like a roundabout way of saying "we have no evidence that he cheated, but in lieu of evidence let's go with gut feelings".

I don't think the Super Mario comparison is entirely fair here.

Super Mario Bros runs on a single piece of unchanging hardware. Even when you play it on any other platform, you're playing it through an emulator designed to mimic the original hardware.

And that's the case with all video game consoles. Even when the physical hardware changes, you're given the guarantee that it won't be breaking to the software. The few times that has not been the case has been notable.

iOS devices don't have that guarantee. The hardware can have breaking changes. You software now has to contend with the fact that there is no guarantee that certain features may or may not be present. Things that were previously not customizable, now are. If you want your software to run on the latest iOS, it is at least partly your responsibility to ensure that it does.
Well very many people think it's fun to watch sports or other competitions regardless of if a robot could do it better. I don't think anybody cares about if its "solved" or not, it's just fun to see humans interact in a controlled dramatic way I guess.

Chess also has the added bonus of providing a lot of interesting puzzles for those interested, they can sit and analyze lines with engines after the games as well or watch Agadmator on YouTube analyze it. It's fun!

I doubt they are very predictive in those rating bands. Based on a quick Google, since 2011, Magnus has lost a total of 20 games as white, mostly against much higher rated opponents than Hans. It had been almost 2 years since he lost as white, against Levon.
They have consistently underestimated the effects of crypto, it's been screwing up their demand forecasts for a long time. I think what happened was they had all these efforts to prevent miners from buying cards so gamers could buy them instead, and they thought they were successful. So they attributed strong demand to gaming, but they were actually failing and miners were still buying all the cards. I don't know why they thought they were successful...
