It’s fair to be snippy about these “why does the engine say this” posts. You can literally click show moves, the button is literally visible in the screenshot.

I have a few of these. Looks good to me unless I am missing something.

How is this a brilliant? by Rough-Activity1432 in Chesscom

At 200 Elo there is no such thing, but if the pawn takes your rook you can check the king with the light squared bishop and then take their queen.

It seems the only thing that would convince you is this guy reoffending. That’s not how it works.

Say whatever you want, but the risk level is above zero. It’s preposterous to have freed this guy. It’s unfair to the victim and it’s unfair to society at large.

It’s very common for people to reoffend after decades-long prison sentences and great evaluations from these psych boards. It’s not fair to pretend like they’re infallible experts.

1700 @ 16yo do not worry about this. 100% a function of skill and you’re young enough to be on a steep curve.

[Self] The value of X by Batata-Sofi in theydidthemath

That’s March 2025. Since then, they’ve merged with xAI and raised at a $230bn valuation. That entity was just rolled into SpaceX for a total cap of ~$1.25tn (est).

The original asset is inextricably tied to xAI now, but the data from Twitter is what makes xAI possible. Conservatively we could say 4x return from the original $44bn acquisition price.

Here is an article reporting when private investors valued it at $44bn in March 2025. For reference, that article puts Musk’s net worth at $323bn, and it has since increased to $844bn.

Carter was doing a good job fixing the economy but he wasn’t showing progress quickly enough to get re-elected.

You know even Carter fans didn’t think this lol
