lichess is one of the best sites on the internet. very happy to contribute my $5/mo

That's fair.

Not trying to be pedantic, but:

> We don't simulate a bird's bones and muscles

Isn't really true, is it?

We simulate the bones with an airframe, and we simulate the muscles with a prop/jet. The wings are similarly simulated.

this is my approach as well :peace:

Every time the stock market shits itself, the large brokerages seem to "go down"

> share the same general morals of the rest of the population

funds don't share those morals

The idea that retail buying/selling pressure has any effect on market price is a very old fashioned idea.

My best friend in grade school was a bit of a deviant and we definitely experimented with these things. Very powerful!

Wow! This is an awesome observation

He provided one very important thing (at least to me): an optimistic view of the future and our ability to support ourselves.

damn that just blew my mind

yeah it's engineered to be maximally engaging.

Play it for yourself against the current stockfish.

Reminds me of the Busch-Gass Gambit in chess - something so new and mind boggling that it absolutely destroys the best chess engines in the world. Discovered through computer analysis. Insane to watch this opening played well.

There's no way for you to know

They do sometimes - like when they're trying to gain strength. At other times, recovery is more important than growing stronger (like during a tournament).

Mostly a way to reduce inflammation, ice bath isn't exactly a "painless" experience

Surprising that this fact is being often overlooked in this thread. If you're in a multi-day golf tournament for example, an ice bath for immediate recovery and lack of hypertrophy is exactly what you want.

I find I need two different modes:

- hypertrophy to actually gain strength and muscle (ie. longer recovery time)

- maximum recovery to heal from a strenuous exercise and be ready for more the next day (ie. shortest possible recovery time)

In the second scenario, I don't care about gaining strength at all, and the recovery is the only important aspect.

Yes, forgiveness is really for the offended, not the offender. It can be a heavy weight to carry.

In golf, reducing bogies helps more than increasing birdies, so same idea there

Yes, you are correct!

Ah, you're right. It's been a while since I've seen the show.

Fair points, no doubt.

Malthus never factored ephemeralization into his calculations. We can produce more with less than ever before. Buckminister Fuller addresses this head on in his magnum opus "Critical Path"

Looks like the animation style of the cartoon "Home Movies" - seriously underrated show. Jon H Benjamin is the voice of the main character.

when old.reddit.com dies, i'll be done :peace:

Part of me is jealous of people who liked school this much.

Was excited to learn something here and did not. Seems like a very normal technical review process. My team uses discovery trees for the same goal.

My story: Spent weeks / months setting up a fairly sophisticated home automation set up running on a Mac Mini. Worked great for 3-4 years, occasionally I would have to re-pair all of the Z-Wave devices after a power outage, but nothing too serious. Then one day the Mac Mini died and I thought about the days/weeks of work to replace it and just decided not too. In the end, it didn't provide a ton of value beyond the shiny UI and charting abilities. It was fun but I don't think I would do it again, unless I was retired or something.
