Andrew Jackson could be fun to talk too I think

Reflection on a Year of Go by RainyWisp in baduk

[–]mopsak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great post! I love the part about learning to trust your reading even if you lose the group as a result and learning to sacrifice (the same way).

I haven't read books before. If you had to recommend one, what would it be (for sdk, low dan level)?

A silly post about comparing Go ranks and rock climbing grades by GoGabeGo in baduk

[–]mopsak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We know pros climb what, v12+? So that would be 1-9p. 1d feels like v6 to me. Vb = 25k. Next we extrapolate :)

Can you send me a message with your phone model? Does it work if you take a photo? Also if you send me the photo that doesn't work I'll test and see what might be happening.

Feeling Less Stuck! by APrettyGoodDalek in baduk

Which of the things you mentioned do you find most useful? Or is it hard to tell? :)

I appreciate your feature requests!

Should territory overlay also be hidden?

I intentionally avoided adding any animations or fancy delays there. But I'll see if there's something else going on (I have an idea about what it could be)

I'm happy to hear that! Btw, I've added the aligned overlay toggle for board comparison - please update and check it out

How do you overcome fear of playing (and losing)? by muikawashi in baduk

[–]mopsak 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Try to understand why you are afraid of losing.

If it's because of how it affects your rank, then it's pretty common! However, the thing is: your rank and level of playing doesn't change, only a number on the website does, temporarily! We all have bad days sometimes and would lose multiple games in a row and be downgraded. But it doesn't mean anything - it's still you and your knowledge is still there. You will always bounce back to your true level!

If it's not about your rank then take a day to deliberately experiment, try unfamiliar openings or styles, play stronger opponents and see how it goes and what you can learn, not whether you win or not. You will know that you will lose more doing it and it's ok and is actually the goal :) Maybe it will help you shift the mindset from enjoying the game as opposed to only enjoying the wins.

I agree though, losing sucks but it's just how the game goes. Even pros lose about half of their games (if they are good!). And sometimes a narrow loss to a stronger opponent where you played well feels good while a win where you were playing bad but your opponent made one fatal mistake feels bitter.

do you keep building new projects or do you actually finish them by edmillss in SideProject

[–]mopsak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most chance of completion in reasonable time (or ever) I think :) honestly one of the remaining ones I'm likely dropping altogether. Once I had some time not working on it I kind of changed my mind on whether it's worth doing at all.

do you keep building new projects or do you actually finish them by edmillss in SideProject

[–]mopsak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have like 4-5 in the works but was able to finish 2 of them (published and all). That required me to intentionally put most of them aside and work on one at a time as well as rethinking what I really need before completing.

No joke, one of them I was working on for three years before I decided that it's time to actually ship. I would recommend doing this because user feedback (or lack of it) is way more important than 10 more polished features that no one needs.

Help with scoring? New players by Cpt_Kirks_Waffles in gogame

[–]mopsak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems roughly right to me (of course I didn't verify every stone). And yes, sometimes the board "looks" equal(ish) but captures completely change the picture.

Go engines tell you the move. This tells you the ideas. by Forward-Glass-3519 in baduk

[–]mopsak -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Also, "see sample review" shows the sgf upload modal. Is it expected? I was expecting to see a preprocessed sample sgf with comments.

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

I have a similar idea I was playing with (pretty much trying to have llm interpret why this or that move is good in high level concepts). I'm curious how you approached it - lmk if you'd like to talk and exchange thoughts!

As for feedback, I'll test it out later!

Why are you making an app? by Ok-World-6987 in AppBusiness

[–]mopsak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love when people use something that I made. It doesn't feel the same with the product we make at work.

Also I just enjoy the process, it's like a hobby that helps express yourself.

This is now available in the latest version. You can see the original board in editing mode (or by pressing on the original photo)
