5tk18··on A recent chess controversy
It is well known that Kramnik baselessly accuses everyone. The article seems to be more about statistics than chess, and doesn’t make any accusations. Kind of a click bait title IMO.
5tk18··on Minerals represent potential biosignatures in the search for life on Mars
Would you mind elaborating on this? I don’t understand the point. Maybe naively, I would think that evidence of life on mars would increase the probability of life on exoplanets.
5tk18··on A visual exploration of vector embeddings
I’m having trouble understanding you. I would be curious to see a representation of this in 2d or 3d. Do you know of any good resources?
5tk18··on iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro
I am curious, what are your complaints about the new SE? I have a 2016 SE and am going to upgrade to either the 2020 SE, 12 mini, or 12. The 2016 SE feels a bit small in my hand (I have large hands), but I worry the iPhone 12 regular size will be too large.
5tk18··on Jeff Bezos' annual shareholders letter

The European delivery fleet is comprised of low pollution cars. Low pollution cars comprise the European delivery fleet.

5tk18··on Seven Puzzles You Think You Must Not Have Heard Correctly (2006) [pdf]
I think dsugarman meant "at least once over any FINITE amount of time", in which case each prisoner might visit again an infinite number of times, but it can be arbitrarily many turns in the future.

So, if you wait a finite amount of time (in this case a "few" billion years") it's possible that the visiting condition might not yet be satisfied.
