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.

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"

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.

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!

I believe Zero123++ gives you the ability to generate consistent images from multiple camera views, where as DreamCraft3D seems to output 3D models with geometry and textures if I'm understanding it right. Like I could take the output of DreamCraft3D (if I had the code) and drop the result into Blender for example.

I kind of hoped the long term result of htmx, instead of just being a Javascript library, was to become a standard in a newer version of HTML itself. The constraints of only forms being able to do POSTs, and the only way to handle the response is to rewrite the entire page seems arbitrarily limiting. If htmx were just HTML6 or whatever, it'd outlive all the Javascript frameworks.

I think the "weight" here is weight as in mass and "convolutions" here is as in folds. The size/weight and folds of Einstein's brain have been the subject of studies, and the quote was from 1980.
