> There is no random element to the game of chess.

No idea how you are defining random. What random elements exist for cricket? The same things you would define as random for a sport would be the same for chess.

The sad part is I am better at chess than you are. And have a deeper understanding of the game. Unless you are CM rated or above, highly doubt it.

> A computer being better than everyone doesn't mean that chess isn't complicated

Less complicated than any sport that a computer can't be better at than humans.

By definition there are more moving variables in 99% of sports than chess. 5 on 5 basketball, at any time any player can be in an almost endless number of positions on the court in an almost endless number of contortions with different velocity and acceleration of multiple components of the body. The mental intelligence required to teach a robot how to walk and run is significantly harder of a problem than beating the best chess player in the world.

Chess isn't complicated. There is a finite number of moves a player can make at any one turn. And there is a finite number of unique possible games that can be played in chess, which means its solvable (not neccesaeily that it will be solved). You can notate an entire chess game on a napkin, you can't even fully quantify any sport with full length video footage. Comparing the vast complexity of physical movement to pieces on a board. Its a joke, you're a joke.

I don't know how you are defining randomness, but the best player doesn't win the game every time, which is about as much proof as you need that there is a degree of randomness.

Define random in terms of sports, the same conditions apply to chess. The wind affecting trajectory of a ball could be similar to environmental factors effecting cognitive performance.

I wouldn't use the term "random" either. What randomness exists for baseball? Slight curve of a bat? Maybe that is part of the game and should be calculated into by the player and isn't randomness at all but part of the game. "Randomness" exists in almost every competitive activity, its called variance.

It's not even worth discussing, you don't even understand the terms you are using.

It would take someone mentally ill (i.e. "neurodivergent") to actually go beyond the routine and take drastic action to fix. Normal people don't go against what society deems normal. Normal people will lie to themselves rather than face the truth, and that's a good thing usually. Almost always is it better to be united in a less optimal path than divided. This is true for the individual as well as socirty.

However, in certain situations a society's path becomes so misdirected that its better to be alone than follow the group.

There is absolutely randomness and variance in chess. And variance/randomness is important for any sport, that is what makes it exciting and worth playing. If there were no randomness then every game against the same team and players would be the same.

And anyway, sports are vastly more complicated than chess is. Just simply dribbling a basketball while bipedal walking is beyond the capability of replication by robot at the current moment. But a home computer from 20 years ago would beat >90% of the world in chess.

I don't think that's exactly fair. I took a few years between high school and college, it's surprising how much basic math skills I forgot how to do. Now, it was simple to relearn that information, but if you asked me at that time how to convert 12/13 to decimal I probably wouldn't be able to do better than a rough approximation.

I graduated highschool 4 years ago. What I remember is about 1/3 of the kids not even paying attention in class and just being on their phones. For honors and ap classes it was a little better, but even then there were always a few kids completely distracted with their cellphones.

This includes a lot of things. We have had less than 100 years to adjust to the technological revolution and rapid globalization. Its seem that we take for granted that we will adapt to a completely different world. Humans have spent the majority of our existence in a wildly different environment and our adaption to a completely new environment won't be quick nor without many lives lost and quality of life affected.

For example: Unhealthy, addictive food along with modern food preservation is responsible for the most deaths in the US through obesity and heart disease, with obesity having a a high number of comordibities including sleep apnea, anxiety, depression, and (arguably) ADHD (further research needs to be conducted). Food in the past was limited and not available in vast excess to the average human, and certainly not foods that are extremely unhealthy and addictive.

Another example would be a higher average life expectancy. How do you deal with a population of 70-80 years olds who many can't work, require disproprotionate resources for their survival, and age related mental & cognitive decline.

What is the solution? We can wait for humans to adapt, evolotuarily and socially, which will take many thousands of years. Or we can enact political change. The issue is that we these changes need to balance the increasing power and ability of the state with individual freedoms. Along with having a lean political machine that can further change for the future. I don't see a way forward, not that it doesn't exist, but this is an environment more unlike any other one we have ever known and the next 10-100 years of the species is as unpredictable for us as it has ever been spanning back as far as the start of the agricultural revolution.

Re-read my comment, I said that anyone can do whatever they want with their own copy. But once they start distributing a modified copy is when their is a problem.

To some degree I think that with the increase in use of digital media there needs to better rights and methods for sharing like one can with physical media.

However, it's not fair use to copy material and redistribute it. Furthermore, the creator should be able to determine the format of the release of their work. If someone wants to alter their work, they must do so in a transformative manner and not pass it off as the creator's work.

Someone who makes a book with formatting specific to say a PDF, could be unfairly reviewed or judged by readers who borrowed distributed copies that are formatted to epub, for example.

If you are gonna be a barister, wear gloves when handling receipts. Make sure they aren't flimsy plastic or latex gloves either. Otherwise you're gonna be absorbing all that yummy bpa from the thermal paper used for reciepts into your bloodstream.

Productive labour is mostly menial and of little pay.

Unproductive labour has barriers to entry guided by traits the upper class select for, and pays the amount equal to the theft of the labour produced by the productive laborers.

Nothing is more satisfying than seeing an unproductive laborer eat humble pride and start contributing to society through work.

In addition, for people who were adopted and didn't know their birth parents, it can be interesting to connect with your biological family through ancestry work.

If you are from the United States its interesting to trace back your ancestry and last name to a specific person/persons from another country.

There are tons of websites for different last names in the United States, showing history of the name. Many times the last name be traced back to a singular person, which I find especially cool since you have sprawling families all connected by one guy who made the journey over. Obviously last names like Smith won't be like this, but if you have a unique last name it can actually be quite common that one person coming to the new world connects you and everybody else in the Americas together. I find that super cool to think about and I am glad people are doing the effort to research and find this info out.

The fzf repo has a guide/example code for ripgrep integration that works pretty well.

You are right in the context of the power NP's have compared to regular doctors. The primary difference in an NP and a doctor practically is pay. They do so much similar stuff, even though they shouldn' be allowed to. NP's prescribing meds, like a child with bazooka shooting at mentally ill people.

Nurse practitioners are the overused. If you are on medicaid, at least in my state, you are almost guranteed to be seen by a nurse practitioner rather than an actual pyschiatrist. Even if you aren't on medicaid, which medicaid is usually better than any other marketplace insurance for selection of providers and service, getting seen by a nurse practitioner is very common.

Additionally, while many may be knowledgable about the medications they prescribe, I have had nurse practitioners prescribe me medication they didn't even know existed, as in during my session I asked for a specific medication based on a personal recomendation from a freind in the field, they didn't know what the medication was and looked up on google and then prescribed it to me.

There are good nurse practitioners, but they simply should not be prescribing long term pyschiatric medication with the level of schooling they have.

It takes 2 years to become a nurse, and 3 years to become a nurse practitioner. Additional certification is required to prescribe certain medications, but even then the amount of training and classes a nurse practitioner will take to understamd medications is very small compared to a psychiatrist.

It's absurd. NP's have been the solution to psychiatist shortage and it seems no one cares. Most likely, because anyone who knows is zombified by SSRIs by shit NPs or is in the medical field so their vision is already clouded by bias. Nurse takeover is a joke. Anybody with 2-3 years of schooling should be relagated to changing bedpans and putting in IVs. Not functioning as psuedo doctors.

I prefer this a lot more. I think op had a cool idea, but the implementation could use a little work.

> efficiency gains from globalization have already passed their peak

Is this true? Aren't there a ton of developing nations that have rapid debelopment that will increase efficiency of different industries as they grow?

I didn't read this except the last part. But don't be hostile and insulting if you don't want a responze back. In real life if someone ever talked to me the way you do, it wouldn't be words and it wouldn't a fight.

People who insult out of nowhere grew up in the softest environment where you could get away with that. You lived a privileged charmin lifestyle where you could say whatever you wanted and not have any consequences. I wish just for a second i could see you in person.

To paint a clearer picture for you since you love to twist whatever I say, certain people from privileged groups have mastered the art of aggression from a thin vaneer of social acceptability. I deny this aggression. If you show me aggression, I don't care what socially acceptable way you show it. This isn't football, in real life its not a game. Your life is a game, never experienced anything real. Suburban fraud.

No, just make them pay out 30k in installments if they arw liable for something.

Or take them to court. The average person will lose hundreds of thousands of dollars in their lifetime from required insurance for all type of dumb things.

We need the government to force everyone to pay an organization that does nothing but hold money in case of accidents and then release it back. We need this because people are too cowardly and fearful, so they accept financial sodomy in exchange for a very small piece of mind.

If we are going to force insuramce on people, why not just go all the way and start forcing people to not eat junky food. It costs the us citizen way more to pay for the obese and unhealthy than anywhere close to the average american will pay for an accident without insuramce. Might as well start restricting all freedoms. Take my money take my freedom, here let me bend over. That is all of you. Paying 30-50% i taxes to the government accepting that they can force you to buy a service i.e. health insurance, car insurance.

Weak people vote for more government control, because thwy are cowardly rats. They desire being controlled, read anti-oedipus and you'll understand that your little brain enslaves itself in a false prison. The mind of weak disgusting borderline subspecies humans have formed a societal prison, where freedom doesn't exist. And the strong non mentally ill are forced to accept this prison or will be insulted saying "they don't common sense" or "aren't practical".

Enough talk, the fact that a lesser human like you actually gets to determine how I live my life is disgusting. The wardens of the prison are everyday "people" who should be culled like cattle. I don't dislike the system, because its an illusion. The system is just a bunch of lesser humans who have drank the koolaid, you don't drink it and they will call you crazy. Reminds me of how Uncle Ted fought against the prison after escaping from the mind control of mass psychosis, so we locked him up. I wish with all my heart God exists, so when all you die you are judged and you have your face smashed into reality and truth at a million miles per second. The few sane are forced to fit in the sea of the mental midgets, who exist not ambivalent to slavery, but as its enablers.

> You can't even step foot into a hospital without paying $20K

I had a surgery and was in the hospital for a week. The out of pocket cost without insurance was lile 20-30 thousand if I remember correctly. And that is without coupons discount you usually get from cash payment. I used insurance, so I don't know what the discount wiuld be, but usually its like at least 10-20%.

I don't know what hospitals you got to, but 20K for a hospital visit is something I have never heard of.

Makes no sense. Just have a better court system that makes people who cause damages to other's car have to pay a certain amount to that person per month. Like car insurance but there isn't a middle man and you only pay when you get in an accident.

I am saying insurance as a concept is stupid and anyone who has insurance is dumb except in few rare cases caused by government tipping the scales of the market.

The only thing baffling here us your reading comprehension bud.

You missed my entire point. You think I think that? Well, if I was on another website I would say something about you as a person about the type of human being who can't even understand what they are reading but then replies with an ignorant comment.

*she

copper is going to be around for a very long time, 20 years ago we were supposed to all have fiber in 10 years. Yeah, I will believe it when I see it.

Also its possible from my understanding to use your own OST. At the very least you could just put it in a makeshift faraday cage.

> You probably don't live in the forest. You have neighbours

Lot of people in the United States live in very rural areas with their nearest neighbor being 5-10 miles away.

The cheapest places to buy are also in rural areas. With the popularity of work from home rising, its not crazy to think a large amount of people will start living in secluded places.

Anyway, packing like a sardine in a city is gross and for gross people. If you can't be happy alone in nature, don't deserve to be happy. Urbanites are the lowest species of human, with the highest crime rate and most drug use and homelessness. They are all depressed, neurotic freaks because they live in an environment where you xan't even see the stars in the night sky where there is constant noises every second of the day. No wonder these people all need anti depressants and anti anxiety medication.

Around 10-30% of drivers in the United States don't have car insurance depending on the state.

It really depends on the state on how strict they are with car insurance. My state is very lax and they don't even really check at the DMV. The fine for not having car insurance is also only ~300 bucks and a 90 day license suspension and it only goes up slightly until like the 4-5 time you get caught. It just honestly doesn't make sense to have car insurance with the cost/risk that low. People who pay $50-100 bucks a month for car insurance are morons btw. You can insure yourself for like $30k, and you don't have $30k lying around paying $100 bucks a month is a terrible financial decision.

Insurance in general is a whole racket. Its literally only works due to the fact people on average pay more than they receive. "Oh but what if a bad thing happens" way to live your life, disregarding economics and averages.

Take out a personal loan or save the money you would spend on insurance evry year in a liquid asset (not cash that's almost as bad as insurance). Buying insurance is for npcs.

Only insurance that makes sense to have is insurance that is government subsidized, but that isn't because its better its because you are forced to pay part of its cost with your taxes. Enjoy getting screwed sideways by big government, who literally paya middle man to help ensure their citizens get healthcare instead of directly to the actual healthcare facilities. Insurance offers no service, its a worse scam than banks and credit cards combined.

The save button on youtube mobile app is annoying. Clicking save shouldn't automatically add to watch later, with adjusting have to click the toast popup and set where you want it to save.

Its also hard to see the popup if you click the save button because your finger is blocking the bottom of the screen when you click.

I never noticed this, is it just when they say "smash this like button" or just the term "like button"?

Revanced with sponsorblock is the best method of watching youtube on mobile without ads. I think their is an ethical question about supporting creators, so I think if you do use an adblockwr and sponsorblock you should consider donating directly to creators you watch.
