Do you mean you threatened your team in Slack?

This is astonishing. I was considering ordering that book, thank you.

Depends on the definition of GOAT. When he was at his peak, he played the best football ever played.

By the way, both Maradona and Messi when previously asked, have answered something along the lines that that he was the greatest.

Not the same percentage of them. Postgres has been used for a shorter time in large companies. Many experts in Postgres were previously experts in another DBMS.

In contrast, most Oracle DBAs/Engineers publish the fact that they have only used this specific product during their whole career. They seem to be rather proud of the fact, actually.

This is most probable. Oracle specialists tend to be people who have been working with Oracle and Oracle only for the past years, if not decades. They could never possibly have a knowledge of the full functionality of Postgres, which coincidentally changes rapidly.

This seems corect.

If you are solo, you would not use Git, which was designed for hundreds of collaborators working on a project.

Instead, a simpler version control system (something like Git?) would suit you better.

There is no way that this is possible. Niemann's performance has such a wide variance between: - his best days, where he is pressing for victory or easily winning against the very best players in the world (not only Carlsen, but also Aronian, Mamedyarov, Firouzja), and - his bad days, where he plays like an average grandmaster.

Someone who can play as bad as Niemann does on his bad days could never beat Carlsen legitimately in my opinion.

I was agreeing with your complete post, except for the last line.

No more evidence is required. The quality of Hans Niemann's moves, recently as well as during his rise from 2400-rating three years ago, is enough evidence against him.

Either he is a good as Stockfish, or ...

I do not even understand what it is that you think Carlsen cannot do. But every master can do it for one position at a time. Then he just analyses a number of positions, from Niemann's games and reaches a conclusion.

You did not describe the algorithm or the data which would help writing the software you are talking about. As I said, for me if this software would be based on comparing the engine's best move with the human's move and give such metrics as average centipawn loss, it would not be nearly adequate for this purpose.

And I insist that all the things you described as the hardest part are only poor substitutes for understanding the game of chess.

Edit: Regan is rated 2372, he was born 1959 and his last tournament was in October 2012.

I will quote you Fabiano Caruana, who said the following on September 22, after my previous comment:

“I would take Regan’s analysis with the large grain of salt, and the reason why is not because I have any insight into his algorithm or his methods, but because I know of a case of, a very high profile case, where with absolute certainty I can say that someone was cheating in an important event. And the person was investigated and was also exonerated based on Regan’s analysis. And I am certain that there was cheating. There is no doubt in my mind that this person was cheating and they got away with it.“

So this is one more example of an academic, who is so far away from reality and practice, that real experts just ignore his opinion.

As I wrote in another comment, I find it ridiculous to consider some Pr Kenneth Regan (a weak chess player actually) a leading expert on cheating, and to hold his opinion above the opinion of Magnus Carlsen, who has analysed Niemann's games and also faced him in tournaments.

Indeed there is every reason. The hardest part is to understand the game of chess. As i wrote, it includes having the entire tree of variations for every position in your mind while investigating. It is absolutely not a matter of simply comparing one-dimensional engine evaluations.

On the contrary, I don't find it significant at all. I had not even heard of Dr. Regan. He seems to have achieved the IM Title decades ago, today he is probably simply a weak player.

The best expert on opining whether Niemann has been cheating or not is the player who understands the game of chess more deeply than anyone else. He understands it from the human point of view (for example: which variations can a player of X or Y level calculate accurately, which ones might seem to work but are in practice too complicated/too risky to play, which moves are absolutely unbelievable from a human because one has to find ten super moves in a row starting from a non-forcing position) as well as from the engine's point of view, due to his experience in analysing with computers. He also has recent experience in playing Niemann in a tournament.

I trust that Carlsen knows what he is doing.

I think the answer is not that difficult really. All Hans Niemann's moves, all his games, are public information.

People can analyze them and form their own opinions about whether he has been cheating or not. The question "how" need not even be considered.

Carlsen has of course already looked at the games, with the experience of having preiviously looked at millions of games between humans, and millions of analyses from computer engines. And he must have realised that Niemann has achieved something unique, he has conducted many absolute masterpieces, sometimes one after the other in the same tournament, while being rated 2400-2500. Performances so perfect, that no other human has ever accomplished.

Or Carlsen simply does not want to play against this guy, while being completely cool, and also wants to tell the world about it.

This is his own tournament, apparently. At least he seems to have significant control over it through his companies.

This is the interesting question, really. Probably the most popular theory on reddit is nearest to the truth.

How about European censorship? Is is possible to read russian news portals in Tor?

On the contrary, what many people in the West are realizing, is that abstaining from oil and gas leaves you poor or broke.

No, actually 52800 US dollars is a lot different than nothing.

Thank you but unfortunately only the large discs are readable. I think a sorted datatable might serve the purpose better.

It almost sounds like you don't believe that developers can learn new languages.

> so phone requires you to specify the address every time which is significantly more friction.

For some restaurants this is not true, they save your (phone number -> address) mapping the first time you call, and in the future ask for confirmation whether the address is correct.

But who cares, really, which streaming service your family subscribes to?

Yes, I see now in your and others' comments that I had some false impressions about working conditions in american factories.

About the last line, I am surprised it is mentioned.

One would think that TSMC might have known about this small issue, before deciding to build a plant in the USA.

Exactly, Hetzner. Very economical choice. Or maybe yandex cloud, since you are based in Russia.
