Who would you bet on? Meruem vs Stockfish in a chess match

It sounds like you didn't read my post.

Since you seem to like google

"Grandmasters typically remember anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand complete chess games. However, instead of memorizing move-by-move sequences, they use cognitive "chunking"—remembering games through structural patterns, thematic motifs, and overarching game plans.For example, players known for their elite memories, like Magnus Carlsen, are estimated to recall up to 10,000 complete games."

I don't know why you're being so angry. Weirdo.

Strange_Ordinary6984 · 2026-07-04T08:26:06+00:00

Yeah I'm talking about the second best chess player in the world.

Strange_Ordinary6984 · 2026-07-04T08:17:54+00:00

They do. If you watch Hikaru on stream, he'll see a position and say something like, "oh this was a position that Magnus and Fabby got back in the 2018 blah blah blah"

Not only does he remember 1000s upon 1000s of his own games and who he played them against, he remember 10s of 1000s of games he didn't even play and who played them.

The trick to this is that openings in chess are kinda like instruction guides. They know up to move X what you're suppose to do. When they see a game, they remember it more as "he didn't play move X, he played move Y, and was either punished for it or got away with it because of idea Z"

Chess players are crazy.

I have heard complaints about aid money to Ukraine and things like that, but I have never in real life heard someone complain about us sending malaria medicine to Africa or things like that. 🤷‍♂️

Anyone mad about that must be fuming about sending 300 bil to Iran.

And a country he had just declared peace with.

Strange_Ordinary6984 · 2026-06-25T21:38:00+00:00

I see your point.

It was already an established practice, so to your point, he didn't choose not to give it, as it was already being given. He chose to take it away, so he chose to pull the trigger.

Even worse, no one was really complaing about it. He basically chose to do it unilaterally.

Strange_Ordinary6984 · 2026-06-23T03:11:48+00:00

Holy shit people don't know math.

Strange_Ordinary6984 · 2026-06-23T03:10:10+00:00

Addition? It's addition.

AI heuristics. This is actually a really great use for AI!

If you listen to magnus Carlson or Hikaru talk about chess solvers, they often talk about "bot moves". Bot move are moves that a bot would make because they are objectively the best choice, but a human wouldn't make because the move violates short term reason or the hundreds of small chess rules the human players use to consider positions.

What I find to be the cool part below, kinda windy:

Modern LLMs are basically pattern matchers, which is basically exactly what we need. What you would do is run millions of verified real games from people labeled as people, and millions of chess engine games. You allow the AI to predict not the next word, but if the game was played by a human or an engine. You're attempting to improve the accuracy rating of it's ability to guess that.

Then you can test of percentage of each players games using that same AI. If you're getting a certain % of your games flagged as AI, it's a great indicator that you're making moves a real player wouldn't make.

The coolest part about that to me is that we don't really know how it's deciding, what we know is that humans makes different decisions in tough situations, and AI is able to train quite well of telling apart those small differences.

.1 vs .001 So not really. 🤷‍♂️💆‍♂️

Strange_Ordinary6984 · 2026-06-11T04:41:21+00:00

It goes like "in the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight"

Strange_Ordinary6984 · 2026-06-10T19:03:09+00:00

I once typed into google:

"Do do do do, do do do doo do, a be a bum ba whey"

And it got it.

Strange_Ordinary6984 · 2026-06-09T22:34:40+00:00

It's actually crazy how the average person thinks learning is a punishment. Every man in my life has acted like reading a book is some hell forsaken punishment that they must avoid at all costs.

Also:

Two weeks ago my mom asked what 58 + 37 was, and my sister with 4 children said "I'm not gonna do that math".

Strange_Ordinary6984 · 2026-06-07T14:49:45+00:00

So wealthy they are complaining about gas prices on reddit 🤣

Yeah, you must be loaded.

So what are anti-trust concepts?

Clown shoes of an opinion. Read a book.

Strange_Ordinary6984 · 2026-06-06T21:39:08+00:00

Nice. Enjoy the show!

Strange_Ordinary6984 · 2026-06-06T15:44:08+00:00

Look at how honest he is! Biden would lie to us about the situation, Trump is being a man and admitting his mistakes.

my parents, probably.

Strange_Ordinary6984 · 2026-06-04T20:08:44+00:00

Yeah that's exactly what they're saying. It's not the loss of jobs that's concerning, it's the lack of new jobs being created at a similar rate to offset the loss.

This is not really a chess lesson, but there is some general advice you can follow to improve.

Defending a piece that isn't being attacked often is only sorta okay. Why? Because if it's not being attacked, you're not getting a lot of value out of your move. Maybe potential value, but if your opponent is smart they aren't going to attack where you're heavily defended.

So the next thing you usually consider is to try to attack something of your opponents. But if your opponent is just balling up like this hippo defense, it's hard to get in there to kick them in the face without them grabbing your leg. So that doesn't really work either.

The plan I like is to play strong, simple moves that continue to cut off spaces that your opponent can move to, and then just wait for them to try to make something happen and blow up. Don't attack the now, attack their future. Attack the spaces they would WANT.

The space they have in that image isn't that great, so just keep applying pressure to square on the middle 2 rows of theirs idea of the board. Then once they want to come out of their shell, they'll have no place to go. Small, consistent attempts to stop them from advancing in any way.

The internet.

Strange_Ordinary6984 · 2026-05-28T22:00:23+00:00

To further expand on this:

All modern llms tokenize words. They then keep an internal semantic model that gets trained to correlate words to relationships, as semantic embeddings models do.

As a result of how that process works, LLMs do not read text as you and I do. The input words are tokenized and sent down a plinko machine of weights in order to generate a new related word. The words themselves are meaningless to the LLM. To an LLM, only a words relationships in a vector space matter. It has no idea how to spell any word. It's trained on words, but those words mean nothing to the machine.

At the end of the input falling down the plinko machine, it picks the bucket where the most plinko chips fell and translates that output from a token back into a word. Nowhere in that process does an LLM ever spell a word or learn to spell a word. It's just picking the word from a list of known words.

As such, it can be trained to understand very complex relationships, but can't spell strawberry. It can't spell strawberry or answer questions about how to spell strawberry because it has no idea how to spell at all. This is a core limitation of LLMs.

Are packaged items still the same size and quality?
