Didn't Matt Levine tell a story about Masayoshi Son doing that? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21427688


Also, while we're getting rid of angles, can we please get rid of cross products and just use geometric algebra tools?


And you can do that at any board state, so if it starts with like 16 white squares you can make one or two greedy moves to minimize white squares, then do your memorize trick.


Yea that can shave a few moves off.

For fun you can also, for example, invert any board in N moves by tapping every cell straight across any row or column.


I felt a similar way when I moved from Chuck Yeager's Air Combat to (I think) F15 Strike Eagle 3. Yeager was the perfect mix for me. I remember rarely even seeing the enemy planes I was firing at in newer games.


I think if Kramnik accuses someone of cheating it might actually drop the posterior probability that they cheated.


One thing about horror movies is that even though they usually pretty much follow a three act structure they at least usually have to have a prologue to set the mood before the "regular life" part. But recent ones I've noticed that don't follow the structure closely are

"Skinamarink" and "I Saw the TV Glow"


I need to watch "Skinamarink".

"I Saw the TV Glow" is one of my favorite movies of the past few years. After way too many souless IP franchise cashgrabs, it reminded me that some people are still making film as art to connect with people.


Yeah as soon as I saw the "answer" I was like "yeah sure blah blah blah, you can make a trick question, but what IS the country that you'll actually hit if you walk East from Seattle". I was guessing England, but the right answer is France.


> what IS the country that you'll actually hit if you walk East from Seattle". I was guessing England, but the right answer is France.

Actually it's Canada, if "walk East" means "walk eastward along a line of constant latitude".


This is pretty close to how AlphaZero works.

I think it's like:

Passive: Uh, your code looks great! Aggressive: Your code is garbage! Assertive: Your code is broken. Passive-Aggressive: It's great that you think your garbage code is great!


Common movie trope:

I love how you can just wear anything.

Which is a subtle way to say your clothes are trash and I wouldn’t be caught dead with those even in the same room as me.

You’re slagging the listener while sounding like you’re giving a complement.
