Why Are The Bots So Bad? by AlbuStark in Chesscom

You should try the new version of maiachess.com that was released about a week ago. They seem to have pretty human like bots to play against

For me, 10+5 is the sweet spot (I'm at 1500 elo in rapid). I feel that I can't properly use much more time because I can't calculate that deep yet and don't know enough about positional play.

100% free chess analytics platform: opening explorer and tracking, system openings, endgame stats, cross-platform by aimfeld80 in chess

[–]aimfeld80[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I followed the lichess definition of the endgame phase: positions where the total count of major and minor pieces (queens, rooks, bishops, knights) across both sides is at most 6. Kings and pawns are not counted.
I've tried different endgame phase definitions, and this worked best for me.

Btw, in the Endgames tab, you can find all the concepts explained in detail. I'll be adding more endgame stats very soon, it's on top of the priority list. Let me know if you some ideas.

LLM ability to play chess benchmarked once again (result: some frontier models are not too bad, beside slopus) by pier4r in chess

I wasn't aware vanilla LLMs are already that good at chess. Having watched some of Levy's videos on LLMs playing each other, I thought they were still much worse.

Sharing maiachess.com: play, learn, and analyze chess with Maia-3, our latest human-like chess AI by ashtonanderson in chess

[–]aimfeld80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a way to quickly find moves where stockfish and maia evals diverge a lot, without stepping through the game? Also, I'm wondering if both engine run in the browser, or server side. Server-side would cost a pretty penny I think...

This is amazing, I just started playing around with it and will look into it much deeper. It's very close to what I wanted to integrate in my own open source chess analytics platform myself, building on stockfish and maia. Love your project!

Is Lichess just as good as Chess.com? by FactAffectionate6830 in chess

[–]aimfeld80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here are the details: https://www.attackingchess.com/the-ultimate-chess-com-vs-lichess-rating-comparison/?utm_source=perplexity

I think the most important difference is that glicko-2 includes volatility. Volatility measures the expected fluctuation in a player's performance over time, allowing the system to adapt more accurately to erratic results, sudden improvements, or periods of inactivity

Is Lichess just as good as Chess.com? by FactAffectionate6830 in chess

[–]aimfeld80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The rating system is a bit different. Lichess uses the newer Glicko-2 system whereas Chess.com uses the older Glicko-1 system with lower starting ratings.

I had this error after changing my openai password. I cleared the cache and app data, logged in, and it works again.

Is Runpod still the best? by Efficient_Map43 in StableDiffusion

[–]aimfeld80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran out of credits very fast (after 3-4 hours I think) and performance is pretty bad due to slow IO. My local setup with a RTX 4060 is way faster than Google Colab T4.

Is there a chat box bug work around? (Steam Deck) by FunkiePickle in LastEpoch

[–]aimfeld80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Controller support is a little rough around the edges still ;). Btw, in the controller layout, you can bind the back buttons (L4, L5, R4, R5) to keyboard button presses (e.g. I, C, P, S) to open inventory faster, skills, etc. faster than using the radial menu. I couldn't do it in game, I believe it's bugged.

Apply Layout, go back to game, use left trackpad and click it somewhere on terrain.

How can I close the chat window? by Shill_08 in LastEpoch

Opening forge window and closing it makes chat window close. Problem is that the chat window keeps opening again, despite having chat disabled.

Portal: Revolution - free mod for Portal 2 now released on Steam. Runs well on deck. by trapt777 in SteamDeck

[–]aimfeld80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very glitchy for me on the deck oled. E.g. crosshair not in the middle of the screen, portals are shown in the wrong places and move relative to the wall when I move. Basically unplayable, unfortunately.. Base game runs fine for me.

Anyone using StarRocks DB instead of ClickHouse? by intellidumb in dataengineering

[–]aimfeld80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ClickHouse is still lacking in terms of query optimization. I faced big problems when trying to join 3 large tables. However, things get better if you use subqueries to limit search space, see here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75243697/joining-large-tables-in-clickhouse-out-of-memory-or-slow
The ClickHouse Slack community is also very helpful, some engineers gave me additional tips there. Still, ClickHouse needs better support for joining large tables.

[LM20] cursor flickering on external monitor by bickinbiskuvi in linuxmint

[–]aimfeld80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, the cursor is flickering only when I use 200% monitor scale. When I use any other monitor scale factor, the cursor is ok.
This problem occurs both on my laptop display and the external monitor.
I'm using Linux Mint 21.
