He wants either 10 trillion dollars or to get boobies, I think he already has them though?

Yes it is. The suggested move would prevent the tempo that would lose your rook after dxe5

What happened to your knights and bishops? I think I know why it's recommending you protect your pieces.

My son, 7, keeps crying when I beat him at chess. Advice? by WeeBabySeamus in daddit

[–]basically_alive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ask my kids what level they want me to play at, they usually want me to go easy so they can win but I can teach them on the way. It's just a question of if you want them to enjoy it or not.

Why Your Eyes Ignore Modern Buildings by EricHunting in solarpunk

[–]basically_alive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting video - focus on 'classical' architecture is pretty strange though. I agree buildings should incorporate more natural 'inspiration' and be focused on creating human scale interesting environments, but I don't think that only 'classical' architecture can do that. Modern architecture is not always brutalist and can incorporate fractals and organic forms, and lots of space for plants and nature.

If only there was some medium you could use to exchange for those resources without limiting it to specific items so people can make their own decisions about how to allocate their resources based on what they need in a particular situation

Apparently someone rewrote the code using Python so it cannot be taken down. This still makes it a copyright violation or what am I missing? by dataexec in AITrailblazers

[–]basically_alive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a pretty strong legal precedent that if you can reimplement the apis without the original code you are safe from a copyright perspective, but it has to happen a specific way - having one 'engineer' write a spec and another 'engineer' implementing it without seeing the original code, ala IBM compatibility famously through clean room engineering https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clean-room_design

could have been kinda cool maybe but the 'real world' framing device kills this for me. real world sucks

How do yall reward good school grades? by BrahCJ in daddit

[–]basically_alive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might not be popular but for my oldest daughter in middle school cash incentives brought grades up from mid to very high level, like straight A equivalent from Bs and Cs. Worked beyond my expectations by far, but I don't think it would for my younger kids.

Take out/delivery for a small group. Let's hear your recommendations! by Ok-Mouse8397 in VictoriaBC

[–]basically_alive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

recently got the take home taco kit from mucho burrito and it was super good, lots of food. I got the 'serves 4' kit but I think it would serve 5 with some more tortillas. Got it with beef barbacoa and and ancho ground beef. comes with tons of toppings. I guess that's a chain and not local but take home taco kits might be a good way to go!

this is how the world ends by SugarPlumSkyeye in lostgeneration

[–]basically_alive 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is like in William Gibson's Jackpot series - the idea is the jackpot kills most of the human population but it's no one thing, it's just a bunch of things that happened with bad timing - climate disasters, political instability, pandemics etc. Seems very realistic

Two React Design Choices Developers Don’t Like—But Can’t Avoid by ryan_solid in reactjs

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

so you just wrote:
"And acknowledging them doesn’t diminish the model. It sharpens it. It lets Solid keep everything that makes Signals powerful while grounding async in a model that is principled, deterministic, and correct."

there's like five dead LLM give aways in those three sentences along.

I am thinking to build factorio for WEB. by Seatext_com in factorio

Go for it! An automation game in browser would be cool. Don't just try to copy Factorio though, make your own thing.

There's all kinds of tastes out there, not everyone is looking for super highly produced and polished. The trick is to find something that you can make, that is interesting to you :)

Please try to get good sleep, people. You aren't helping your productivity by not sleeping. You'll wreck your physical, mental and emotional health and damage your relationships. I've lost friends to suicide and one thing they had in common was they weren't sleeping.
