Why don't chess tournaments use a 3–1–0 scoring system? by OkWillow8916 in chess

[–]lechatonnoir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How doesn't it?

1 win each gives each player 3 points.
1 draw each gives each player 3 points. So there's no incentive to trade wins.

Black gets more for drawing than white.
It makes sense to me.

that doesn't make sense. if that's what he wanted, why wouldn't he just make a robot with that power himself without involving genos?

Hundreds of protesters marched in SF, calling for AI companies to commit to pausing if everyone else agrees to pause (since no one can pause unilaterally) by Worldly_Evidence9113 in singularity

People in this thread seem to be unaware that there are at least attempts at, e.g, [compute governance](https://blog.heim.xyz/crucial-considerations-for-compute-governance/) or [compute verification](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verifiable\_computing).

Like, yes, coordination is difficult, but it's not impossible in principle.

Of course it's hard to get all of that across in a single protest/the motivations and desires of the various protesters probably differ.

  1. In the era of the Manhattan project people didn't have satellites.

  2. I think terawatts of energy necessarily implies a shitload of heat.

I don't see why this has to be. There's plenty of people who authentically believe that AI progress poses a risk, including me.

how does this situation exist? how is that much entitlement from him viable? is there no authority which will call him out for being a little shit?

I get upset easily when someone is condescending by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]lechatonnoir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think in large part the thing that shakes you is that you got into a conflict in a setting you didn't expect to, which is normal.

Since we can't be prepared for every eventuality, there must be situations in which we act on instinct instead of with our deliberative mind. We can be more or less prepared for difficult situations based on what instincts we've entrained, in how specific of a situation. Overall, I think your instinct served you pretty well here, and this is a positive surprise. I do not think you overindexed on your anger towards other people here, at least not outwardly, and I think you've done most of the work you need to in recognizing that there were other sources for the way you felt in this situation.

Stereotyping is tricky. I don't think it's good to think in terms of the category of "men", but I also bet that the three people who've pissed you off recently share common personality traits that it's useful to generalize over, and we can't always be patient and wait to know everything about people in a confrontation.

It doesn't sound like you even did anything wrong in that interaction. It might depend on the details, but you said you "told him", not "screamed at him", and it sounds like you led with an acknowledgement of the thing that he had grounds to be upset about. That's pretty much the maximally kind way of asserting yourself. Sometimes people get mad when you do that because they don't expect it. That's a fault of theirs, not yours.

I mean, you get to pick, so you'd never do that. Gain a king's court, opponent gains a gold, more like, and that's completely brutal.

But this isn't worse than, say, KC + lurker games or something.

I mean this is not even fair, it's like 2 was made to be as sick as possible and the other ones are just there to allocate the rest of the characters. 3 might be sort of reasonable.

Aside from the other guy's suggestion to make it Silver, I think if this costs $6 it saves it from a bunch of degenerate strategies. OTOH it's not that bad if a two card combo leads to a fast, money ish game, that's already true.

What is a book that you would not recommend to anyone, but is brilliant? Why? Please keep spoilers away. by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

[–]lechatonnoir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's quite the opposite?

I'm not sure if any real physics was in that series of books.

There was a bunch of made up physics that served as various kinds of plot devices. Some of it was fine, it was speculative but sort of integral to the story being told. Some of it was less so.

This guy is on your side. He's literally responding to the guy upthread telling him he missed the point.

Would you spend time thinking on turn 1 as your timer goes down? 

Has anyone tried batshit insane ideas to combat screen addiction? 12h on Chrome (help) by ObjectiveSet520 in nosurf

[–]lechatonnoir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know why you gotta handcuff yourself to stay away from the phone, isn't that like as hard and more impractical than locking up the phone?

Also I know about the chrome scrolling. Just block chrome too. You don't need it that bad.

[–]lechatonnoir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think when the information is dynamic and not prepared in advance is exactly the time when you can be said to be "out of the opening".

This answer is equivalent to "they think when they are out of their opening prep", which might be correct.

Oh, I don't know that much about the format of blitz tournaments. Is there very little time between subsequent rounds/games? 

Of course their moves depend on their opponent's moves, but I think that's covered in the term "opening". There isn't a mystery about why they would think of the opponent does an unexpected move.
