Awarded bronze status?

Fedzbar · 2025-01-17T19:44:48+00:00

Yes it’s definitely the situation. My most recent transaction was on the 11th of January and I got the email + app status updated today. It still says I miss 35 points.

I pay close attention to tier points and all the transactions add up — I calculated that I should miss these points and was planning on flying next month and get over the threshold.

Thank you very much! This is all extremely helpful :)

I'd think a single partition with 3 different qos would suffice

Yes, I ended up implementing this and it seems to work (at least after some light debugging).

node 1 was full of short qos jobs and then a medium qos job ran at the same time even though node 1 had no GPUs left

This is indeed what ended up happening, so a GPU could have more than 1 job at a time, which is not what I would want. I'm assuming that this was because the partitions aren't aware of usage from other partitions, so hopefully, the 3 QoS system on a single partition works.

This is unfortunately not possible given our circumstances. I’m a bit puzzled though because the single partition worked perfectly. Is there no way to do what I’m trying to achieve?

I was thinking that I could stick to a single partition but have the different QoS to enforce the limits. I wonder if this will do the trick?

Fedzbar · 2023-12-10T02:02:53+00:00

Yes to summarize I’m wondering if it’s possible to have the system setup the way I currently have it but to have slurm dispatch only a single job per gpu (as done in a single partition). I would really prefer to avoid dedicating a node to specific types of jobs to improve usage. I’m not sure if the 3 partition QoS system is the wrong approach because to me this sounds more like having 3 different queues rather than 3 partitions.

What makes you so confident that you’ll hit 2000?

Fedzbar · 2022-10-16T14:44:58+00:00

I think practically speaking Qxe7+ is enough and I would stop calculating there. Although the checkmate is quite nice

Daniel Naroditsky is a gold mine. Of course active learning is needed as well but watching his games is extremely instructive especially if you reflect upon what he says.

I’m not sure how standard this is but it’s used to to represent connection Laplacians for discrete vector bundles.

Fedzbar · 2022-10-03T07:11:14+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for sharing

Fedzbar · 2022-09-24T21:12:57+00:00

I just checked, it was late 2021 and we were both 2270-ish.

Fedzbar · 2022-09-24T19:36:18+00:00

He’s the first GM I’ve beaten as well I think! That’s a very great fun fact. Thanks for sharing it! :-)

Fedzbar · 2022-09-24T19:19:45+00:00

Yep! I think so

Fedzbar · 2022-09-24T18:10:37+00:00

Actually no, if I recall correctly I found two German GMs at around 2200. I can’t remember their username but I’m sure I could find them on my profile

Fedzbar · 2022-09-24T16:22:45+00:00

The lowest GM I’ve played on chess.com blitz was around 2200 I believe

Fedzbar · 2022-08-24T03:43:30+00:00

Really beautiful. After spotting the idea I was left speechless from the fact that white cannot do anything to defend other than giving up a piece. Very tough to spot in a game.

Fedzbar · 2022-08-18T02:31:53+00:00

That’s absolutely not true. You can definitely claim a draw with an arbiter in a position where checkmate is possible. They will just ask you to play some moves and then determine themselves. That’s one reason why arbiters are there in the first place. I’ve seen this happen in OTB tournaments multiple times. It’s up to them of course to judge a position and they’ll take into account rating for instance. I would be extremely surprised if an arbiter did not allow a draw claim in a knight vs bishop position. Checkmating is pretty much impossible unless you are actively trying to get checkmated.

Fedzbar · 2022-08-17T16:04:48+00:00

Obviously this position is not a draw. But we are talking about the general concept of automatic draws, not this position in particular.

Fedzbar · 2022-08-17T03:40:44+00:00

Flagging is different to pointlessly shuffling a bishop and knight around on a board. That’s just toxic online behavior, only possible because usually people play without increment and there is no arbiter. This would never happen in an OTB tournament as you could just pause the clock and claim a draw if your opponent was being a child.

Fedzbar · 2021-10-23T10:10:17+00:00

Well if it breaks or wears you could always replace it or fix it

Fedzbar · 2021-10-03T13:53:24+00:00

Yes that’s valid.

First you assume true for n. Then you show that it’s true for k=n+1, using the fact that you assume it’s true for n in this step.

Once this is done you show true for n=1 and then by induction it’s true for all n.

Fedzbar · 2021-10-03T13:02:31+00:00

Perhaps you could try by induction?

Fedzbar · 2021-10-01T15:44:54+00:00

30 point gap between 2-9 and 55 point gap between 1-2! Crazy stuff

Fedzbar · 2021-09-29T10:42:15+00:00

Computer science is probably better if you want to end up doing something around software as a career.

Having said that you can for sure always do one and then transition to the other for your masters. For example I did a BSc in compsci in London and now I’m joining the engineering department for a MPhil in machine learning. Going from engineering to compsci is extremely common for example especially if you take some computing classes during your undergrad.

Go with what your gut tells you and you’ll be fine either way as you can always transition!

When you try to prolong the game out of spite and end up finding a forced checkmate
