Python and Chess

It's all so tiring.

OK ladies, he's on to us. Scatter!

@PythonChess @NMRobertRamirez 2?

First time in years that my opponent blunders like this in a classical game. White to move!

The idea behind “Ageless Linux” is simple: Take Debian Linux. Run a script that changes a few words to “ageless”, in some key spots, declaring that the current Operating System (“Ageless Linux”) is knowingly refusing to comply with new Age Verification laws. “Software for humans of indeterminate age. We don't know how old you are. We don't want to know. We are legally required to ask. We won't.” “We are in full, knowing, and intentional noncompliance with the age verification requirements of Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.501(a).” agelesslinux.org

@NepoWorldChamp Hahahahahaha

Magnus Carlsen REVEALS he wanted to play the Candidates: “I’d actually planned to make a late bid to play the Candidates, but when I saw that Bluebaum, whom I’ve never beaten in our multiple classical games, had qualified, I rethought; I dreaded an unprecedented triumph by him.”

@vxunderground The moment age verification requires biometrics or ID scans, the conversation stops being about kids and starts being about mass identity infrastructure online.

Still a work in progress. My side project (KnightVision) will allow everyone to fully digitize OTB Chess. From scoresheets to physical boards. Just point your camera and you get FEN/PGN.

🚨Hablemos del oro Puede pasar 20 años sin hacer nuevos máximos. Y luego subir 500% en una década. Hoy te voy a explicar algo que no se habla por FinX. El retorno del oro se mueve por rachas. Puede ir muy bien durante años… y luego espantosamente mal durante otros tantos. Y tenes que estar preparado, entenderlo. Y además los retornos pueden ser extremos: → El oro no se comporta como el mercado accionario, que generalmente sube y tiene años negativos cada tanto. → 🟢Desde 1971 tuvo 5 rachas alcistas de más de 3 años y los retornos fueron extraordinarios: • 2023-hoy: +176% • 2001-2012: +512% • 1985-1987: +57% • 1977-1980: +335% • 1971-1974: +395% → 🔴Pero también tuvo rachas negativas que pueden testear el estómago de cualquier valiente. Perdiste todos los años: • 1975-1976: -28% • 1983-1984: -33% • 1988-1992: -31% • 1996-2000: -29% • 2013-2015: -37% Estos períodos negativos son compensados con los astronómicos retornos que ofrece en los períodos positivos. → 🔴 Pero ten presente esta cruda realidad: El oro pasó 20 años sin hacer nuevos máximos. Desde 1980 al 2000. Sin embargo, desde 1971 el retorno promedio anual es de 9%. --------- 🏅El oro no sube por crecimiento económico. Sube cuando el sistema monetario se tensiona. Inflación. Crisis financieras. Pérdida de confianza en las monedas Pero de eso hablaremos en el siguiente post. Estate atento!

No matter how confident you are just know you’ll never be as confident as this dude

🎉 We just released Rotate Object in Photoshop (beta) 🎉 You can now rotate 2D images! 🤯 Then use Harmonize to add light and shadows, to blend it perfectly with the rest of the scene. It's like Turntable in Illustrator, but instead of vectors, it's pixels in Photoshop!

@GMAlexColovic And shitty players just don’t see anything at all 😂

Stronger players often see a position as something alive. Weaker players often just stare. I called this video vs photograph in The Method. Good puzzle work turns the board from a photograph into a video: the pieces move, the brain works. That is the real aim of training.

@jasonfried @Tesla

@PythonChess @Tesla Not buying it for me. Helping someone else. Their car, their choice.

The last car we bought was a @Tesla Model Y. Painless purchase process. No salespeople, no showroom, no upsells, no games, no haggling, no pressure. Just a personal choice on my own time, and a simple few-minute process handled entirely via a clear and straightforward app. The next car we're buying is from another brand. And holy hell, it feels like I'm going back in time. Salespeople, back-and-forth charades, pricing games, "when can you come in?" before the deal is finalized tactics, etc. And I'm still doing it all via email so I don't have to deal with the showroom antics. I've modernized the process as much as I can from my side, and yet it's the same old same old. They don't even feel like the same thing. In one case I'm buying a car with all the baggage that comes with buying a car. In the other case I'm buying a Tesla with none of the baggage of buying a car. This experience could make me lament this other brand, but what it really does is make me appreciate and respect the lengths to which Tesla has fully reconfigured the car buying experience. It's become effortless, like buying any other product. As it should be. A car is just another product. Bravo.

Brilliant

@investlylab Ohhhhhhhhhh
