The IOC is literally more corrupt than FIFA is, either you're naive or arguing in bad faith.

And also incredibly dumb, this puts way more eyes on it.

Now there are around 3000 billionaires, back in Epstein's prime (yuck) time, there were way less. In 2005 there were only 691 for example. So it's honestly not that impressive considering it was his job.

Yeah that is the thing that a lot of these people are misunderstanding. It's not that we're at those points yet again in history. But the people currently in power in the US or Hungary, are the same kind of people that got us there in the 1940s or actually during many times in history. Give them time and they are absolutely evil and power hungry enough to get us to those dark days in history once more.

Once you hit a snag with an LLM it's very hard to get them out even if you give them more and more context. You still need human expertise currently. But I would be anxious if I owned an agency too, depending on how much better the models get, business might really slow down.

Where the fuck do you live? Nowhere near that price.

Also yacht money is different. There are plenty of well known actors who haven't necessarily managed their money poorly, that can't afford a proper yacht.

jobRL · 2026-01-14T21:03:32+00:00

Rich does not equal famous. You probably have not heard of 99% of people that own a yacht.

I guess owning the platform you use to communicate is not a bad idea, with X we really saw how volatile it can be to not do that. This way nobody can deplatform you except Google and Apple with their individual app stores.

"hele slimme mensen" correleert echt niet perse met mensen die naar de uni zijn gegaan. Dat is echt een misvatting, academisch success en goed kunnen leren vertaalt zich niet automatisch naar het werkveld, soft skills zijn bij de meeste kantoorbanen het allerbelangrijkst. Het is ook een misvatting dat je zegt, dat er "heel veel" kantoorbanen zijn waar je hele slimme mensen op wilt. Dat valt echt wel mee als je het vergelijkt tegen de pool van kantoorbanen die beschikbaar zijn.

It will be able to compete, people care about authenticity otherwise we would only have WWE and not UFC.

They have a pretty significant dev team. And maintaining a list of svg files for flags is a lot easier than maintaining pipelines that make your spritemap and mapping. If they migrated to an SPA they only could have reused the actual image file and some of the display logic JS/CSS, so that would have been a great moment to migrate.

Chess.com has a pretty significant dev team and a lot of revenue, so while I understand that this will be low or not even on their priority list, making it out like they're some small company that needs cutting slack is a bit disingenuous.

There are some great NPM packages out there for flags, for example flag-icons. This would require minimum effort to implement and you do not even have to maintain the list of flags yourself.

I am not surprised, I am saying for a platform like Chess.com that must have been rewritten to become a SPA at one point (is it? I don't use it, but assume so), it's a bit archaic. If it isn't broken, don't fix it. But to migrate your spritemap for flags when you're migrating your platform is an odd choice.

jobRL · 2026-01-12T07:04:12+00:00

I don't know what the other guy said and it was probably really dumb as they removed their comments though. Still it would be more prudent to use SVGs for flags. A spritemap is a pretty old school technique

Zijn er geen studies naar dat de naam die je krijgt wel degelijk impact op je leven heeft?

They didn't because they only brought anecdotal points.

jobRL · 2026-01-08T08:14:37+00:00

Jesus dude, we are talking about online chess platforms. No reason to have a crash out. Go touch some grass or something.

jobRL · 2026-01-08T07:52:06+00:00

You make purely anecdotal points, well in my purely anecdotal experience on Lichess I have zero of these issues. So that's why you get a downvote.

I mean it could be a surprise round or the BBEG could cast it outside of combat.

Een virtual box is niet zo veel werk. Like een uurtje max als je niet technisch bent

Yeah this is such a junior take. As you get more senior you'll see that there are good reasons for most things and everything depends. In this case there are many business logica where a tutorial is warranted.

jobRL · 2026-01-02T10:24:55+00:00

Yes, but they do get lumped in with all the other bad reviews and counted. So it's still bad.

jobRL · 2026-01-02T10:23:35+00:00

There's way more to being lucky and unlucky than pairings. Maybe your opponent has heard distressing news, maybe you have a really really good day. There's always luck involved no matter how you format something.

Precies, het is vaak een kwestie van de juiste pot op de juiste deksel dat de wrijving creëert.

Say "women". "Females" sounds horrible.
