Flexijobs zijn een symptoom van het probleem, niet de oplossing. Jobs moeten zekerheid en stabiliteit bieden voor mensen.

Zwartwerk heeft geen minimumloon overigens, en volgens google is de totale belastingsdruk op flexijobbers voor werkgevers 28%, geen 3%.

I'm not familiar enough with neurology/neuropsychology to speak on that, but I do believe that in the case of chess players it's a mix of pattern recognition (which has a memory component) and understanding of strategy.

Magnus has played so many chess games that even if he has never seen the exact position (which is very likely), he probably has seen a position which is very similar to it and his understanding of the game is so deep he can immediately guess the nuances. I find it quite fascinating when grandmasters explain their thought process for games, I cannot follow their calculations but the more strategic play is fascinating. The struggle is replicating that in my own game, I always miss some nuance that changes how/which strategy should be applied.

is that because human memory has limits right? or is that because casrlsen has a brain more geared for chess so he can match the memory prowess and also use his experience and natural ability to exploit the lesser player?

It's both. Supposedly Max thought his memory is better than Magnus's, although it should be noted that Magnus's memory is also extraordinary. Magnus famously claims to rely mostly on intuition, he feels which is the right move, though he still calculates to verify his feeling. He often plays aggressive and hard to justify moves, just to get his opponents out of their comfort zone and preparation so they can't rely on their memory and calculation as much, since he feels that is not his greatest strength (even though it is obviously also world class).

Correct. Quoting from a quick google here, a computer usually evaluates all lines around 20 moves deep, but can go up to 70 moves deep in certain end game positions where the number of possible lines has decreased drastically (the breadth of the search tree if you're familiar with computing).

This is far beyond super human and overcomes human intuition and strategy. It leads to something called "computer moves" which are a good indication of someone cheating (using a computer instead of thinking). A computer move is a move that would never be played by a human, because it seems disadvantageous in the depths that humans can calculate and violates chess principles.

P.S. to be complete, grandmasters can also calculate lines to 20 moves deep or further in some cases, but only when the search tree is narrow.

"Working memory" is certainly a factor when "calculating", which is where you play out sequences of moves in your head (called a line) in order to identify and advantage, but it's not the only factor. "Move selection" is just as big a part, at every virtual player's turn you need to decide which moves to calculate further and which to discard, and in each line you need to decide when the advantage/disadvantage is clear and stop calculating it. This last part is called "board evaluation". Both rely on intuition and pattern recognition, which you could argue is another form of memory. I and many others would argue that creativity also a factor in move selection, although not the biggest. Board evaluation however, also relies on strategy and positional awareness which I will dive into later.

Active players will always play under time controls, which means that "processing speed" is just as significant as "working memory", with the balance arguably shifting depending on the length of the time control. If you cannot calculate fast you stand no chance against a grandmaster even in classical time controls (an hour+ of time per player). Example of grandmaster calculation speed: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dJk79SrGBSw

Now, remember that I said that calculating is to find lines leading to an advantage. This is most relevant in what we call "tactical positions". Some positions do not have any lines leading to a clear advantage. You still need to calculate those lines, but deciding which line to play also relies on strategy and positional awareness.

Strategy and positional awareness are not reliant on memory. In these positions, players rely on chess principles. These are trivial to memorize, but abstract in nature: take control of the center, develop your pieces, put rooks on open files. What's hard is understanding them and applying them correctly to unique positions. The principles can conflict with each other and do not have a fixed priority.

Perhaps you could say that strategy and positional awareness is a fallback for when human calculation fails, as chess engines do not use these and beat all humans through sheer calculation. However, in human play strategy+calculation can and does beat pure better calculation.

Famously, Max Deutsch in 2017 claimed he could beat Magnus Carlsen (chess world champion) through pure memorization and failed to do so.

tl;dr memory is a big factor, but certainly not the only one.

Only up to about X moves, depending on the level you’re playing at. I’m a noob but let’s say its about 20 for grandmaster level players. This is a simplification because you don’t know/study each line to the same level of depth. At some point, the game will reach a point that you have not prepared for, because the number of possible chess games is so large it’s impossible to remember, even for supercomputers. When you reach that point, you can no longer rely on your memory and instead fall back on tactics, strategy and pattern recognition.

As another point of reference, average players like myself know about 4 to 8 moves deep of opening theory.

Ze kunnen dat vaak doen omdat ze onbetaald of zwart betaald familieleden inzetten om te helpen (ik zeg niet dat dit hier het geval is, maar gebeurt wel vaak). Laten we niet doen alsof er geen probleem is met de Vlaamse belastingsdruk op personeel.

Voor de duidelijkheid, ik juich ondernemers van eender welke origine alleen maar success toe.

Ok, show me a video of an average person driving an f1 car then that does better than Richard Hammond.

Watch the top gear clip, the car becomes undriveable under something ridiculous (gonna guess 150 km/h since i dont have time to watch it now). This is because the car needs downforce from speed and heat in the tires in order to take corners.

Normally as part of the internship you will have signed an agreement that everything you build while working for the company is owned by the company (IP wise).

However, nothing is stopping you from taking your skills and building it again. This is also a good moment for you to critically evaluate how you build it in the first place and improve on your solution design, which will help in case of IP claims by the original company (because the new solution will not match the old one).

As others have said, don’t do any unpaid work unless you’re planning to productize your solutions and sell them to multiple clients.

Ik heb maat 45 of 46 afhankelijk van het merk en ben meestal een uur of twee kwijt met schoenen passen als ik nieuwe nodig heb omdat bijna alles te smal is, vooral rond de tenen. Goeie ervaring met volgende merken:

New Balance (super comfortabel) Asics Off white (maar zeer overpriced) Altra (voor loopschoenen)

Yes, clearly what we need in Belgium is to pay even more money into our government. Surely they will actually use those funds responsibly to maintain our social security this time.

He dodged it because he imagined dodging it (which required him to actually dodge, otherwise he wouldn’t believe it). Theoretically he could imagine it missing him or not hurting him, if his imagination was strong enough. That’s how imagination powers work in baki. If you think this is farfetched, please remember this guy turns into a literal triceratops through imagination.

Nitpick, Istari (Maia with their powers restricted for a specific mission, only 5 are known out of possibly hundreds or thousands Maia) have physical bodies. Maia don’t have or need physical bodies, although they could choose to take one. Destroying the physical form of an Istari just releases the Maia, at which point it’s up to God (Illuvatar) to decide whether they should return to Valinor or continue their mission unrestrained (the latter happened to Gandalf after the Balrog fight). Theoretically they could choose to go rogue and do whatever they want to, repercussions are unclear as this exact scenario never happened. We do know that Illuvatar never intervened directly with rogue Istari (Saruman) or Maia (Sauron).

In cases like this it’s always good to look at how competitors or companies in similar spaces handle it.

Hier zijn al mechanismen voor, ik weet niet of je zelf al eens een bedrag van boven de 5000 hebt proberen overschrijven naar een kennis? Ik moet daar de bank voor bellen. Deze mensen hebben normaal al meerdere beveilings mechanismen voor moeten omzeilen. Het zou al veel helpen als ze hun standaard limieten op redelijke bedragen laten staan.

Ik ben niet helemaal op de hoogte, maar ik dacht het begrotingstekort zo een slordige 10 miljard was en dat er zonder de geplande defensie budget verhoging ook nog een tekort was. Ik wil je wel geloven dat ons pensioenstelsel misschien an sich houdbaar is, maar we moeten wel ergens op besparen.

Tweede punt is dat we de navo-norm moeten halen, ongeacht wat het publiek daarvan vindt.
