I host a single page that makes it easy to explain ROC curves. http://navan.name/roc/. It does not need a server as there is no backend. It has been linked from wikipedia, many course materials and youtube videos. So I continue to host it on my server.

Just today I read about this in the book "Who is Government" by Michael Lewis where he presents the case on how it can help find cure for rare diseases. You can read his article at https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/interactive/2025/mic....

Also highly recommend the book.

g; has been more useful for me than this one. It goes to the most recent change location. I edit a little, then move around in the same file for reference or check signatures and then continue editing by going to previous edit location using g;.

I have seen some other language wordles use yellow or green coloring of upper diagonal part when the consonants is right but wrong sound. That could be an approach. See how to at https://solladal.github.io/wordle-tamil/. (I don't think there is translation. But pictures should give the idea)

I also have not had this. But a critical review of Dell monitor got deleted after a few months.

This reminded me of a beautiful animation of "Mitochondria: the cell's powerhouse" which I recently watched.

Totally agree with all your points. I also have a rating little over 2000 USCF. New players tend to over-emphasize on openings. To this day I know only names of about 5 openings. I do not know more than a few moves in them. I have generic replies for most of them.

Majority of the games of new players are decided by some stupid blunder. Blitz games do not help improve this area much. Like you said game reviews and puzzles are best.

I posted a 1 star review for a dell monitor with pictures because bands appeared in the middle of the screen after a month. Dell gave a refurbished unit as replacement. Amazon deleted my review after two months and blocked me from posting any further reviews for that monitor. I used to post regular reviews both positive and negative on Amazon. After this I just stopped posting any reviews to Amazon.

Interesting article and good question about whether we should program using graphs. In a different domain, languages like halide, tvm and tiramisu or in a way letting programmers create graphs for high performance.

The title is correct. The issue is about creating captions (text) from audio.

I love lichess website too. I used to play on fics server. Once I switched platforms for my computer, I could not find a good client for fics. lichess is easy to use and get some quick chess time everyday. I like their tourney format also. Easy to get in and out unlike other places where you cannot get in after it started.
