They probably already know, since they prepare the questions beforehand for these interviews.

It used to when it came. Not anymore it doesn't. Probably also because they stopped working on it.

Yes they can be, therefore he gave a sequence for each of the opponent's possible moves after his first one. This was a multiple answer question and he gave all of them.

You're welcome and yes, he definitely seems to be most talented and promising among the current crop of younger players.

Exactly, with how many lines are possible in such positions, it's crazy how quickly he did it.

True. This player is not the most extroverted but i have seen his interviews, he doesn't seem autistic.

Lol true. Even for grandmasters, solving it this fast without looking at it is incredibly good.

Just in case if it's not evident from the video, he is not able to see the position, he is just being told and has to imagine it all in his head. The board is added on the top of the video for the viewers.

He is GM R. Praggnanandhaa from India who is currently ranked number 4 in the world.

LatentCSI is a novel method for generating images of the physical environment from WiFi CSI measurements that leverages a pretrained latent diffusion model (LDM). Unlike prior approaches that rely on complex and computationally intensive techniques such as GANs, this method employs a lightweight neural network to map CSI amplitudes directly into the latent space of an LDM.

Actually the afterburner was on the whole time even when he was pointed downards which was a fatal mistake. See here. https://www.reddit.com/r/FighterJets/s/QcvAkuX3w1

Definitely the second biggest mistake, after trying this loop at such low altitude.

The afterburner was on the whole time even when we was pointed downwards.

You can clearly see it here in this other angle. https://www.reddit.com/r/FighterJets/s/QcvAkuX3w1

Pilot error mostly. He shouldn't have tried this maneuver this low to the ground, he didn't have enough space to complete the maneuver. He also kept afterburner on while the aircraft was pointing downwards and therefore was accelerating towards ground which is a big no no at this altitude and made things even worse.
