That was a absolutely horrible finish to a really exciting championship if you ask me.

For anyone who doesn't know, there was a lot of drama because Gukesh was playing amazingly coming into this (eg winning the gold medal on board 1 at the olympiad in crushing style) and Ding had been playing terribly. Then there were 13 games of back and forth with stalwart defending and imaginative computer preparation by both sides, playing a lot of fresh chess and both of them going for the most critical and challenging moves in each position. Ding was playing a lot better than a lot of people had expected and the previous game had been one of the best games in a world championship for a long time. Everything was tied going into the last game of the classical portion and the "bar room consensus" was that since Gukesh was so young and doesn't focus at all on the faster forms of chess (rapid and blitz) and is therefore much lower rated than Ding in those formats, that if this game was a draw then Ding would be a substantial favourite in the ensuing tiebreaks.

The final game was a complex struggle, with Ding keeping everything in lockdown with the white pieces so as not to give Gukesh a ghost of a chance. Most of the pieces had been traded and it was the most drawish of drawn endgames. Gukesh was up a pawn, but they both had a rook and bishop and all Ding had to do was hang on to his pieces and keep them well away from the enemy king. On the stream I was watching IM David Pruess had just been asked by someone in chat whether Gukesh could win and he said "1% chance".

Then all of a sudden Ding made 3 bad moves in a row. The first two were just poor endgame technique, putting his rook and bishop both on bad squares too close to the enemy king, then the real blunder. Completely inexplicably he traded off the pieces. Now he was in an endgame that was just dead lost. After 14 games of 4+ hours each It had gone from being a dead draw with him a big favourite in tie breaks to all over in a few seconds.
Hi HN! I’m Klokan, one of the creators of TimeMap. It’s exciting to see this project here — thank you for the interest and support!

We just launched TimeMap on Product Hunt: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/timemap
If you find what we’re building valuable, an UPVOTE there would mean a lot.

Stanford University recently hosted an event to introduce TimeMap to the world, which you can check out here:

* Recording on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZspMtwYI98

* Event page: https://events.stanford.edu/event/the-future-of-history-disc...

The talk dives into how TimeMap was built, including our use of Linked Data, OpenHistoricalMaps, LLM pre-processing, indexing algorithms, and more. It also highlights amazing partner projects like Pelagios, TimeMachine, and our amazing partner institutions such as the David Rumsey Map Collection, British Library, ETH Zurich and many others.

TimeMap has been a dream project of mine for years — I’m thrilled to see it coming to life and would love to hear your thoughts or feedback!

For context: I’m also the founder of OpenMapTiles.org, a MapLibre.org board member, author of GDAL2Tiles, and contributor to other open-source projects. Currently, I’m serving as the CEO of MapTiler.com.

Looking forward to the discussion, and thank you for taking the time to check this out!
Wow. What a match. Been watching with my son, a chess lover since we started watching the Magnus-Fabi match. Now, my son loves his chess club and has retired me from playing :-)

Two thoughts:

1) Gukesh took Ding into the deep water the entire time. Few people realize how draining chess is, especially at that level for this time control. It's beyond gruelling. Only programming is more difficult ;-)

2) Gukesh had an extraordinary advantage. His mental health and resilience over the course of the match were a testament to it. And, then, his graciousness, thankfulness, and humble joy demonstrated the Way. It was That which Gukesh first thanked in his post-match interview with GM Mo. It was how he first began each game.

And That was the difference. That said, being 18 didn't hurt either :-)

That’s part of it, however they are also against it from a morality and ethical point of view, with the central argument being that you can’t take an innocent person’s life, no matter how “good” you think your intentions are.

Basically they uphold the value of life above all else, including one’s desire to end it. By the same token, they are against any form of suicide.

That increases the support cost so I think the first question would be who’s going to use it. Django has a lot of value from integration and you wouldn’t get that as a stand-alone product, and the people who want to mix their own framework tend to pick SQLAlchemy. If there isn’t a clear community it’d be taking time away from things existing users want in the hopes of attracting other users, so you’d really want to make sure that demand was there.

Gukesh took him into the deep water the entire time, putting every possible strain on Ding's energy and reserves. It was the unrelenting pressure of an 18yo badass that cracked Ding, whom I truly feel sorry for. He is a great player and a very, very nice human being.

What is crazy is that Gukesh has only been playing chess for a little more than 11 years.

A Deep Dive into CommonJS and ES Modules in Node.js
Wow - have not seen this one yet. Looks great!
I once randomly typed 'How to think like a chess grandmaster' or something to that effect in YouTube. And it was interesting how the whole they went about playing.

There are patterns. Like how to start(openings), endgames. Like patterns of movements well defined. You just have to read enough books, and play enough games to have them hard burned into your memory. They are not really thinking the way an ordinary person imagines. By and large a chess GM is database of chess games. And most of your moves are these.

Second part is having a strong internal monologue, which is basically a way of saying to oneself(silently)-

1. What happens if I make this move? Where is my game headed? Where is the opponent's game headed?

2. Does my move fit in to the patterns I already know?

3. Are my pieces in trouble? How do I save them? Or should I?

4. If I make these series of moves I can make check mate the opponent in k moves.

5. Which move do I make to take this opponent's piece?

6. Are there an obvious traps I can spot?

etc etc.

Like a never ending monologue/internal chatter. What if I do this, or What if I do that? What are knowns, unknowns? Same questions now from the opponents perspective. Like you need to develop these skills. And the ability to work this fast.

There are already broad moves that are supposed to be made. Like you move the horses as early as you can. You don't get stuck in piece traffic jams. The rook is supposed to be a endgame piece. White gives you an edge, as you can move that horse first, castling etc etc.

Mostly its reading a lot, and talking to oneself while playing a lot.

Many of these small voip providers the voip service is a small portion of their overall business. They may be a small ISP, reselling voip as an add on to internet services. Or they may be a small MSP marketing services to businesses in their area, and VOIP is just one small part of their overall package. If you are already marketing to the customer, providing customer service, billing, and even onsite support, why not add an additional service like VOIP, even if it alone isn't all that profitable? Even if you are only breaking even, having the service in house can save you time and money troubleshooting when a customer call you up and says they are having problems making phone calls and their third party VoIP service support is blaming the network...
They are not impossible to track, but that would be relevant only if Mullvad were severely compromised — and even then, we would only be in almost impossible territory.

There are no central repositories as to the location of arbitrary banknote serial numbers.

Lets assume, for the sake of argument, that a cash-paying user were to make the mistake of paying every single time to renew the same suspicious Mullvad account using cash which was always newly withdrawn from cash machines from a banking institution which meticulously tracks them and is able to report from which location they originated (maybe even the card which withdrew them!).

In that case, if Mullvad were to be compromised (or if the targeted user was such an absolute threat to humankind that Mullvad were to agree to collaborate in his or her capture), it would only be possible if Mullvad's mail receivers were to either a) actively keep track of either banknote serial number and link it to a customer, or b) be fully aware of the requirement to make a note of it only of received to renew the target account.

Anything short of that and even the perfectly traceable banknote serial number just becomes one of hundreds? thousands? deposited by Mullvad in their bank accounts — assuming they don't even use some of them as petty cash if needed.

If a user of Mullvad were to reach that level of a threat model I would argue they would be much more likely to be caught by tracking of their sent mail, in the style of Ted Kaczyński.

In a larger organization, you inevitably have a more hierarchical management structure, as well as multiple projects going in parallel. Prioritization and scope creep become significantly more difficult to manage. Only a small and specialized group of people talk directly to customers, which breaks the feedback loop you're talking about. And it's much easier for an individual engineer to go down an unproductive technical rabbit hole.

Many product categories are not well matched to the rapid iterative development style you are describing for your server side chat system, due to the significant costs involved in updating products that are already deployed.
I class the SQLAlchemy unit of work pattern as one of the harder things: in the cases where Django’s bulk update mechanisms wouldn’t work, it’s extremely easy for someone who isn’t an SQLAlchemy expert to get confused about when changes are committed or to inadvertently leak sessions.

It’s a powerful idea but having helped people with it I’ve mostly felt it reinforce my belief that less magic is usually better from a support perspective.
Our Django app was still 1.x when I joined, I’ve gotten us up to 3.2 and hope to be on 4.0 in January. It looks like this was added in 4.1, so this’ll be a nice QOL improvement to look forward to, thanks.
A baby once crawled out in front of me from behind a wheel in a parked car on a narrow street.

The parents were not watching the baby at all, but they scowled at me when I swerved as they realized what I was swerving away from.

The parents shouldn't have let a baby crawl in the street but it's not clear to me why I would be at fault in such situation if say a kid was riding his bike on the other side and I had nowhere to swerve (honestly it is a miracle my peripheral vision even captured a baby peaking from behind tire and recognized it). I personally know of at least one instance when I was a kid and a driver hit a (jaywalking) kid on the highway and absolutely nothing happened to anyone, and we all felt that was perfectly just.
As somebody working in software startups in Europe, what I’ve seen is a pretty broken system. The companies have a wild west attitude towards sales that leads to irregular contracts unpredictable money flow.

I’ve worked on trying to predict our income based on our contracts and because of a couple of sales people a lot of the contracts where basically inscrutable, we brought two different experts in to “fix” my “failing” just for them to give up and do what I did and predict future income based on billing rather that contracts. That made us less interesting to the more risk shy European investors. It didn’t help that we abused a system that was designed to run an IT shop with because that is what the company started at years earlier.

The other thing is that until you make about 25 million revenue a year nobody is interested in you. To risky, not enough early investment and companies are money strapped. At that point a lot of the companies that come in don’t come in to invest but to buy up the company and those companies are usually American. If you do get investors and those investors are Europeans they are often Vulture investors that prop the company up, make it more presentable and just sell it on to the next investor. In one lucky case the IT startup was bought up by a European company that wasn’t in IT and saw the investment as a way to future proof itself.

The investment for startups and in particular IT startups in Europe is very broken and the companies that benefit from it are often American. It is getting better but I think the US can still snap up European companies for its own growth for the next 10 to 20 years.

Ding has nothing to be ashamed of. He fought like a true warrior. He was a great champion, with class and brilliance. I just don't think he was physically as strong as he could be, and that affects one's ability to think as they must at that level.

All said, tho, it was definitely Gukesh's time, and being 18 has some serious benefits in terms of recovery and stamina.

For a person who expects to talk directly to a creator, especially when being asked for money, I would say that it would matter.

And I am sure there are many men who believe they are talking to the creator and not a chatter or bot.
I think that is the point of this article.

On only fans people are paying extra for individual specific attention.

But AI can be good enough to fool people that are specifically looking for that experience.

Sure, free market view, if the automated chat isn't good enough then it will lead to people leaving. The point is, it is good enough.

Don't think anybody is complaining that people on only fans are being duped, maybe more concerning that if you can have realistic video and chat, and people are being fooled, then there is some wider impacts on society. Large chunks of people could get fooled by any number of relationships that aren't real.

You should probably pick one or two openings and focus on those rather than trying to learn every opening right from the beginning. Like almost every game, chess is more fun when the two players are equally matches. Playing online (chess.com or lichess.org) lets you play an opponent who is perfectly matched to your level.
Hah. Every time.
I was struck by Ding's thoughtfulness, objectivity and humility when asked how he felt after the match (while clearly utterly dejected):

> How do you feel?

> I think I played my best tournament of the year. I think it was a fair tournament in the end. I have no regrets.

> Any message for fans?

> Thank you, I will continue to play, I hope I can show strength like this time.

Gukesh was equally as objective, humble, and gentlemanly in victory.

These attributes are what makes chess and its superstars so appealing.
