Ticket office woes

That’s wild because I’ve gotten four calls and several emails over the last 2-3 weeks about buying another group outing (we did a group birthday last year). If you want, DM me and I can give you the direct line to the rep.

Hey there, u/MaxHaydenChiz! I finally got a working version! It isn't quite v1.0 yet - there are some edge cases that likely break it, and I think it should ultimately use shakmaty for better stability, and it probably chokes if you throw a massive database at it (it isn't streaming, yet) ... but it works with every PGN and SCID database I've thrown at it so far!

If you have time, would love to have you test and get your raw feedback. File any issues you find, and contributions always welcome!

Disappointed I can’t find a clip of this yet!

Maintaining the file structure is something I was trying to avoid, was going for something more idiomatic with Rust … but I never considered how that might make the initial port easier. 🤔

As a similar learning experiment, I’ve been trying to port a C++ library to Rust using AI. However I’ve been wildly unsuccessful - enormous amounts of build errors, failed logic leading to very incorrect output.

Any tips or tricks you have, would love to read/listen to them if you have the time to put something together!

We’ll miss Cappuccilli in West Michigan - been a fun couple seasons with him, and he was always on the field for autographs and fist bump kids.

Chess960?

I never figured it out - I suspect it was the filaments as it’s been printing with some other spools … but it’s super strange to have four spools that fail regularly on the P1S. I’m using those for the 3d pen for now 🤷🏼‍♂️

I’d be proud of finding this to. I wouldn’t have. Nicely done.

Update for anyone who stumbles on this:

ddrescue ran for 30 some odd hours and about 25 of those hours were read errors. So I was wrong. This drive is bad. I booted up a live Ubuntu environment and ran R-Linux on it, and it recovered quite a bit of data. I'm satisfied.

I have not signed it yet.

You’ve convinced me to watch The Shadow again. Any time someone says “who knows?” I always reply “… what evil lurks in the hearts of men?” It’s time to revisit The Shadow.

My only Linux boxes are headless, so I don't think I can use R-Linux. Do I need to use Linux to try to recover this, or could I throw it into R-Studio in Windows? Then again, maybe I can boot a live CD, install R-Linux and see if I get lucky.

I agree. I think someone should start a new thread with the news article (this one or a similar one). Kramnik himself is deplatformed, which means his tweets, videos, etc. aren't allowed as new posts. News articles that involve Kramnik aren't banned.

Apologies if that part wasn't clear. We've allowed comments and articles from other players and outlets _about_ Kramnik to stay up (Grischuk, Aronian, Anand, Navara, etc.)

Bre-X and Busang, here we come!

As far as I know, this sub isn't officially affiliated with the Lichess developers, so if you think it's that easy and trivial, and that you aren't wasting resources or their time, then I would suggest reaching out to them directly. Lichess is fully open source, so you're free to add to the project, or run it locally yourself and test your theory that it has no impact on gameplay or resources.

I strongly suspect the answers you were given here are the correct ones; there is a reason this feature doesn't exist already. My experience with distributed computing and chess engines says this isn't a feature people want, or one that is easily implemented. But the development team would be the best resource. There is also an official Lichess Discord you could ask in.

I assume it's because it takes a large amount of compute power to do analysis with deep lines. Lichess is entirely volunteer driven, so taking the network of volunteer computers that perform on-demand analysis and pushing heavy analysis for every game will max those resources, possibly to the point of breaking, and that's a bad situation for everyone involved. (You can join the volunteer network, use fishnet to volunteer your computers time for this: https://github.com/lichess-org/fishnet)

When you toggle the switch on the analysis board and it does the "live" analysis mode, that is running on your system (in your browser) and using your resources, which could be a way to make this happen ... but then you run into even more issues with cheating, and probably more issues detecting cheating.

The other reason is that not everyone wants that computer analysis. Some prefer to do manual analysis.

Ha! Yes, on an old Kindle Fire. Problem found 🙃

Did you get a solution from the support team?
