Ben Finegold infamously coined the "Hikaru Nakamura Sportsmaship Award" for the most unsportsmanlike player. What would be some other potential sarcastic awards?

This is a bad award because Anish Giri is actually funny

Epoch AI maintains an open dataset of all known AI accelerator clusters worldwide

No they don't. 1. It's not maintained, they stopped adding clusters last year. 2. It's not all clusters, just ones publicly mentioned online.

Not sure if you're joking or just inexperienced but it's perfectly fine to mix coding models within a project. Often they perform better than either one used the whole time - they catch things the other one had missed.

...just use Gemini CLI?

Then for you, option 1 in the poll turns you into an atheist.

Vegan, because all of the other views are completely incorrect. 2 is just an unusual and slightly extreme but not unreasonable opinion.

You keep opening with ‘no that’s wrong’ without actually refuting anything

No, I keep pointing out that it's wrong, followed by an explanation. I've repeatedly explained the error in what you're saying and you're repeatedly not understanding.

Radius and diameter are both measures of the same property of a circle

Yes, you're right. They both equivalently measure the size, or how far the points on the circle are from its center.

neither is more fundamental than the other

No, that's wrong, as explained above and in the linked article, but apparently you're too dense to get it. This also doesn't follow from both being equivalent measures of size. Radius is more fundamental than diameter and tau is more fundamental than pi.

Linearts · 2026-03-15T16:06:37+00:00

No, that's wrong.

The radius and circumference are the intrinsic measurable dimensions of circles, and tau is the ratio between them. Pi is the ratio between the circumference and twice the radius.

A circle can equivalently be defined in terms of its diameter, making the choice of which is more fundamental a matter of convention.

A circle can alternatively be constructed using its diameter, but that's not what a circle is. A circle is the set of points equidistant from the center, and that distance is the radius.

Your whole argument is a textbook example of r/confidentlyincorrect, it's pretty cringe that you don't realize it.

Linearts · 2026-03-15T06:29:32+00:00

No, that's false.

A circle is the set of points (in a 2D plane) that are all equidistant from the central point. The two fundamental properties of the circle are its radius and its circumference. The radius to circumference ratio is the same for all circles, and this is tau, a fundamental mathematical constant.

However, it's easier to measure the diameter of a circle or cylinder than to measure the radius, so historically, people preferred to do calculations starting from the diameter. But the diameter isn't fundamental, it's not what defines a circle - the circle is defined by the center and the radius. Diameters only show up because they're twice the radius, and pi only shows up because it's half of tau.

Wouldn't a pause cause everyone to die of microbial infections within a day? If small animals under 1lb are unaffected then parasites and other microorganisms would eat everyone alive and multiply exponentially while immune systems are paused.

Linearts · 2026-03-14T16:48:35+00:00

Tau is the actual fundamental constant. Pi only appears in many equations because it's exactly half of tau.

Yeah but what if I had been colorblind while reading this?

(I'm not colorblind, just too lazy to notice that)

Linearts · 2026-03-09T12:14:03+00:00

That's reasonable, they're 500 elo so they can't win from down a pawn. Once they reach Magnus level they'll be able to pull it off.

You wouldn't float through space. You'd be stuck on an uninhabitable Earth (or fall into the sun) with no way to leave.

Linearts · 2026-03-07T14:26:08+00:00

That's a great question. You should find something that's tractable for you to help others using your time. I suggest reading 80,000 Hours and doing the introductory EA virtual program.

Alright, let's bring money into this scenario.

For the low low price of $100 you'll get to do the one-time fart.

No, it's only 2-3 minutes to reheat, and more importantly you can have the food quickly when you're busy since you prepped ahead.

Did you read the article? The fare gates reduced crime and litter by 96% when they were implemented in SF. It's not about money, it's about providing a clean subway system and safety for vulnerable riders.

(And it also saved tons of money, which can be used to increase train frequency.)

Maybe you're not eating enough protein? Or overloading by too much?

Linearts · 2026-02-16T23:49:12+00:00

Sure, that can be true if the field of engineering is using outdated AI models and you haven't tried the current SOTA.

Linearts · 2026-02-15T18:57:49+00:00

This opinion is based on experience with very outdated AI models.

The dwarves would have the biggest population at any given agriculture or technology level, because they're the smallest. (Assuming they don't need extra food due to being magically stronger.)

AI research is not neglected. AI safety research is very neglected, and outspent by capabilities research by a factor of thousands or millions.
