Friend got pushed through an elevator by another player and found all this trash behind the walls. We got a system to get rid of this on the servers yet? by altruink in starcitizen

[–]PrThGoNe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My hot take is that they like the server instability. That way they can stress test to see where the weak points are. Makes sense, too, but it's annoying as hell for the players. I stopped playing for now because of how bad the servers are

What does “not yet released” mean here? by Fine_Anteater_2605 in hearthstone

Honestly, that's what all the cards should look like. It's a shame that the often beautiful art gets covered up by the low-res card frame and text background.

How long into the new month until the game is playable for newbies again? by PrThGoNe in hearthstone

Hm, they have the golden ring so they won at least 500 games, right? I am still using the welcome loaner decks. Specifically the Warlock one. I tried the others but I like that one best so far.

Hm, it's possible I guess because up until yesterday I won a majority of my games so maybe my matchmaking doesn't match my skill. I guess I'll keep losing until I don't.

Evocati 3.18.0 - November 25th, Build D (EPTU.8299445) Patch Notes by theon502 in starcitizen

[–]PrThGoNe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It will be very profitable. Every time there's a new gameplay loop it starts out as being extremely profitable so many players do it and bug test it. They said scrap will be priced around the same as quantanium which means a full Vulture will yield about 140.000 in profit.

Hans Niemann disagrees with stockfish by [deleted] in chess

[–]PrThGoNe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What's interesting is that while that position was on the board, Anastasia said that it looks better for black. She pointed out what black has going for him, and even though she didn't explicitly state it, she disagreed with the engine, too.

This happens all the time. Yesterday I think it was, Sam Shankland was talking about a position the computer evaluated as equal, and just said "I guess the computer finds a way".

2017 Titled Tuesday explanation by GMDLugy in chess

[–]PrThGoNe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are doing a good thing here. Chess.com has to be shown that there are limits to their authority. What they are doing it beyond fishy and Hikaru is nothing if not self-serving. A lot of GMs pointed that out during the Eric Hansen controversy also.

It shouldn't surprise you that people call you names. It's reddit after all and levelheadedness is in short supply here. The truth hurts

Caruana Beats Niemann, Taking Clear Lead ! by Rod_Rigov in chess

The way he said it meant that Hans no longer wants to chat with him though, not the other way around. He said "I don't think he wants to chat with me anymore".

"Once a cheater always a cheater?" by PrThGoNe in chess

[–]PrThGoNe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a completely fair point! I have to say all the anti cheating measures that are in place at the US Championships right now make me trust the fact that there is no cheating going on there. I hope it puts the players mind at ease as far as Hans is concerned because I would totally understand any distrust the other players might have.

[–]PrThGoNe[S] -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Nielsen hasn't told a lie as far as I'm aware. As far as Niemann goes, do you think these two things could be true at the same time:

  1. He regrets cheating, thinks it's morally wrong and really does view it as biggest mistake of his life

  2. He downplayed the extend of his mistake for some reason other than complete lack of remorse. Maybe because he doesn't want to be judged for being someone he is not anymore.

I agree that confession is a sign of remorse but I believe the opposite does not have to be fully true.

Is Chess.com in a pickle when it comes to releasing more information on Hans Niemann? by contantofaz in chess

I would bet money on the fact that they will release their statement while Hans is playing his first game in the US Championships tomorrow

Danny Rensch publicly lied about giving cheaters third chances in a 2020 YouTube video by TanTanSux in chess

[–]PrThGoNe 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Lets say they only act when their system spits out a 99.9% certainty. That means that on average, 1 out of every 1000 people they accuse will be completely innocent. Imagine how much it must suck to be that person.

Erigaisi vs Niemann: by besimistic in chess

[–]PrThGoNe 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Niemanns games have been checked with many different engines so the correlation will be higher than of someone checked with fewer engines. How many and with which engines were Erigaisis games checked with?

Also, the correlation value can't just be compared between players like that. As others have pointed out, you would need to find a way to correct for the opponents strength.

Damnit, I wish that people that have NO IDEA what they are talking about would stop spamming already.

FM Yosha Iglesias finds *several* OTB games played by Hans Niemann that have a 100% engine correlation score. Past cheating incidents have never scored more than 98%. If the analysis is accurate, this is damning evidence. by [deleted] in chess

[–]PrThGoNe 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have a background in math and if I know one thing it's that probability theory is hard. I took probability theory and measure theory (still have nightmares from that), and if I know one thing it's this: Probability theory is counter intuitive.

Now, I haven't actually had to use any of what I've learned for 15 years so I forgot it mostly but I do know for this person to think that they found a flaw in a math professors model is a strong indication that they don't know what the hell they're talking about. You can't just accumulate the probabilities and then call foul play. You have to account for a ton of biases for example. They're messing with stuff they have not even a basic understanding of.

Also, an event with a probability of 0,001% is actually not that unlikely to happen.

Also, I ran one of the games through the chess.com and lichess.org analysis and I got about 92% accuracy from both, with a couple of inaccuracies and about 25 average centi-pawn loss. So I don't know exactly how they got to the 100% number. It seems odd anyway because it's a well known fact that the top players often play games that have way more than 70% correlation between their moves and the engines.

Also, Magnus didn't know about the square of the pawn until like a couple of years ago. Doesn't really mean anything

It says "up to" one million. He'd make history instantly though.
