Looks like Microsoft threw a good operator under the bus, so they could hire give the title of ceo of AI to a guy with some baggage and none of the organizational chops.
Sometimes what is marketed as 4d chess is just coin flipping.

I hate so much that people that uses cheats. F*ck them all
As a compensation they gave me 8 ELO points.

Eight-year-old becomes youngest chess player to beat grandmaster
An eight-year-old chess prodigy from Singapore has become the youngest chess player to beat a grandmaster.
After a three-hour game of chess at Switzerland’s Burgdorfer Stadthaus-Open, Ashwath Kaushik – who is eight and six months – beat the 37-year-old Polish grandmaster Jacek Stopa on Sunday, according to the Singapore Star.
Kaushik broke the age record set only days before, when Leonid Ivanovic from Serbia (ei…

Whereas early #AGI proponents believed that machines would soon take on all human activities, researchers have learned the hard way that creating AI systems that can beat you at chess or answer your search queries is a lot easier than building a robot to fold your laundry or fix your plumbing.

Fostering Human Learning in Sequential Decision-Making: Understanding the Role of Evaluative Feedback
Cognitive rehabilitation, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) skill acquisition, and coaching games such as chess often require tutoring decision-making strategies. The advancement of AI-driven tutoring systems for facilitating human learning requires an understanding of the impact of evaluative feedback on human decision-making and skill development. To this end, we conduct human experiments using Amazon Mechanical Turk to study the influence of evaluative feedback on human decis…

The gonality of chess graphs
Chess graphs encode the moves that a particular chess piece can make on an $m\times n$ chessboard. We study through these graphs through the lens of chip-firing games and graph gonality. We provide upper and lower bounds for the gonality of king's, bishop's, and knight's graphs, as well as for the toroidal versions of these graphs. We also prove that among all chess graphs, there exists an upper bound on gonality solely in terms of $\min\{m,n\}$, except for queen's, toroidal queen's, rook's, an…

Attached: 1 image Kickstarter's bizarre blockchain announcement in December 2021 makes so much more sense now that we know Andreessen Horowitz secretly promised them $100 million to pivot to a blockchain-based product built on the also-a16z-backed Celo blockchain. At the time, I wondered why COO Sean Leow was so insistent on the move despite being apparently very confused about the whole concept. https://fortune.com/crypto/2024/03/11/kickstarter-blockchain-a16z-crypto-secret-investment-chris…

"The Z3 was the first Turing-complete machine, and Zuse went on to write the first computer chess program in the first high-level programming language Plankalkül, a language of his own devising and an unacknowledged forerunner to ALGOL.

#robotics think thread
Ok so I have been thinking for literal tens of hours, if you had an array of 192x192 (i.e. (64x3)^2 (i.e. a chessboard with 9 coils per square)) PCB electromagnets,
how would you enable and disable the magnets in a pattern such that ~32 "microrobots" (chess pieces) could exist on the board without moving. i.e. cancel out some fields with others

The greater Cleveland sports reporting universe burst Thursday with news about Browns owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam potentially buying a suburban tract of land, potentially as a home for a new stadium.
👉We did not carry a story on it, on cleveland.com or in The Plain Dealer.
The decision was a tough one, but it came down to a dearth of facts.
A blog with a dubious history first reported the news, based on unnamed sources.
The Browns soon issued a statement of 142 words …

Why didn’t we carry a story about the Browns stadium? We’re not pawns in this chess game: Letter from the Edi
We need substance to write news stories. We didn’t have a single piece of concrete information showing what the Browns are up to.

You know how you almost never see an advanced chess game really played out? I mean, they play it out to the point where the inevitable loser sees their doom and resigns. The best (or, I guess, 2nd-best?) players see their doom well before beginners will. Some people even see the practice of grinding out an inevitable end-game as amateurish and rude.
Quite different in life. Once one notes that the remainder is doomed to be an unpleasant slide into the grave, people get all suicide-wat…

Human and Machine Intelligence in n-Person Games with Partial Knowledge: Theory and Computation
In this paper, I formalize intelligence measurement in games by introducing mechanisms that assign a real number -- interpreted as an intelligence score -- to each player in a game. This score quantifies the ex-post strategic ability of the players based on empirically observable information, such as the actions of the players, the game's outcome, strength of the players, and a reference oracle machine such as a chess-playing artificial intelligence system. Specifically, I introduce two main co…

Domination Polynomial of the Rook Graph
A placement of chess pieces on a chessboard is called dominating, if each free square of the chessboard is under attack by at least one piece. In this contribution we compute the number of dominating arrangements of $k$ rooks on an $n\times m$ chessboard. To this end we derive an expression for the corresponding generating function, the domination polynomial of the $n\times m$ rook graph.
