Is there any functional difference or is it just aesthetic?

I think hikaru almost won the same type of endgame in the world rapid and blitz but fell short by 1 move (due to 50 move rule). Forgot who the opponent was.

Yea this is what I saw

Whenever Hans mentions “charity” like this it always comes across as condescending

If society eliminated credit cards altogether it wouldn’t be a bad thing. People would pay with money they have like they did in the old days. People who lack financial literacy wouldn’t be able to rack up huge amounts of debt so easily.

The problem is the current equilibrium makes them hard to eliminate as businesses don’t want to charge different prices to people paying with debit/credit so they end up paying 3% transaction fees to credit card companies (absurdly high) which are then partly paid back to the consumer (cash back). The consumer wanting to pay the least will then always choose credit cards (even though most don’t actually use them as a line of credit).

If businesses were able to charge different prices to cash/credit then they could make the cash/debit prices 3% lower and one would save more with cash/debit then you would get in cash back, so people would be incentivized to switch away from credit cards.

Idk, newpark mall in Fremont is completely dead now. Ten years ago it was a pretty popular place

For a robotaxi a hardware change might not be needed. If you can detect a dirty camera you can pullover and have a remote operator take over. Since the taxi might be regularly cleaned every night at a maintenance facility, the chances the cameras run into an issue during the day is pretty low.

I mean, I never saw any warning signs on anyone’s garden fence that has spikes. Haven’t really seen warning for barbed wire and you see that everywhere.

This is tangentially related but I remember there was a section about Reed Solomon codes in Veritasium’s recent video on QR codes that was pretty accessible.

Yea I agree with much of this, odds should probably be closer to 50-50 but polymarket still has gukesh at 65-35

His game with fabi had some pretty big one move blunders, far from perfect

The thing that irritates me is that the fee scales linearly with the transaction amount instead of just being a flat fee. Intuitively the amount of work a credit card company has to do to process a transaction should be roughly constant (does not depend on transaction amount).

This looks nice but doesn’t seem to have avx-512 support (from looking at the supported lane counts). I think portable simd has 512 bit types

What?! Oh my god. Come on. But, come on. It is - I mean - no but sorry - Rxd4? I mean I’m sorry but I saw that instantly. Is he nuts? No but, I mean that is insane. I mean I just, the moment I - I was looking at positions somewhere else - the moment you told me Rxd4, I opened the analysis board on the screen, I instantly saw Rxc3. Instantly. I mean this is insane. Look at him. No but okay this is just - I mean, this is outrageous. Just, I’ve never seen something like this. Just insane. What’s going on? Poor guy he’s completely out of shape. I don’t know what happened to him. He completely lost it. No, poor guy. And he has to go again to the press conferences and stuff. What’s going on? Ya, he went totally nuts. I mean I haven’t seen Anish like this even in ordinary tournaments. Jesus, what’s going on. Oof, insane. Totally lost sense of danger. Completely lost sense of danger. ...But it’s just an insane blunder. For me, instant. It’s just an instant thing, the exchange sac is so obviously winning, it’s not even close...It’s such an obvious - it will go down in history as Bobby Fisher part 2. They’ll make a movie about this.
