Realize I said it wrong: 11%, 9 correct guesses (expectation if random would have been 9.3), three people more random in some other experiment.

Typing, so more random. Got a nice 9%, more random then most... And yes, did e.g. type 5-5-5 repeated.

Still working on my Android app (navigateanymap.eu) that enables you to navigate using any (photo of) any physical map.

Have tried contacting local hiking clubs to use my app (the app 'fixes' a photo to an OpenStreetMap.org background with the use of Exif information, so that a fixed photo can be shared which is already mapped to GPS coordinates) but no luck so far.

As of present, around 100 users (worldwide).

I made an app ---- I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve officially launched a new app! This journey has been an incredible masterclass in problem-solving and perseverance. I’m so excited to finally share this vision with the world and continue driving innovation in the space. #BuildingInPublic #Innovation #TechJourney #Entrepreneurship

My favourite colour is blue. Oh, no, it is...

Yep, I did as well. And visited the site to see how cops used fake accounts...

So... Clickbait title? ;-)

It just got into an "we is you" type of interaction. Never got a question myself.

The point the story tries to make is that the Hawk learned traffic signals. That is not necessarily the case. It could be that the hawk just sees that the cars are blocking the sight of the prey.

Still an intelligent action, only does not mean the hawk understands the signal itself.

There are big disadvantages from choosing e g. 5th normal form: any changing in business requirements leads to a big rewrite and data conversion. Never seen successful projects choosing beyond 3rd/BCNF.

What I missed in the piece is a description on how they did against the Dutch. Both Spanish and French were more ‘land type’ armies, as a Dutchmen I remember in the history wé were taught that the Dutch punched above their weight on sea warefare.

Indeed, if I had to wager, I would assume that the English against the Portuguese or the Dutch would do worse then against the Spanish or French, given the same firepower/size of ships etc. (For the record, did not check ‘the mighty internet’ whether my gut feelings are supported by facts) (Edit: but -> both)

A variation of the theory that there are only 7 different stories told in (fiction) books.

Have a complete different experience. As a physical major, did a famous Millikan's oil drop experiment. Am a terrible experimentalist (went on to do my PhD in theoretical physics), so we got a charge of about 1/3 of the charge of an electron. Now, as I did not get a Nobel prize, I did not actually measure the charge of a single quark, but still got good enough grades for this study.

Replying to your other questions: Its been a while since I played chess regularly (in a chess club), but:

Two bishops (of different colour) is actually not that difficult. There are some simple heuristics to help you there (an LLM might actually tell you these, haven’t asked;-0)

Bishop+Knight is, in my opinion slightly more complicated, there are some ‘tricks’ necessary to keep the king from running from one courner to the next.

Bishop+bishop is - in most situations - a draw (you need three knights to mate).

But there is a reasoning (see my reply above): winning is not possible (only the queen is strong enough against two bishops), so draw should be the goal. And underpromoting to knight is only way to keep the piece for another move while still promoting.
