Oh no. Anyway.

Sorry, I thought you’d be able to make some logical inferences and I assumed you knew a little about chess.

In chess there’s a concept of strength, and ELO is used as a rough estimate of this. Further there are FIDE rankings like IM and GM that have certain requirements to achieve.

In most sports, there’s never such an age gap. Think of basketball or football. You don’t see 12 year olds hitting the equivalent of GM in those respective sports (going pro?) and being able to compete with the 35 year olds, do you? In most sports, they wouldn’t even be allowed to enter but in chess they could.

Context helps. A lot of really strong players are 12 years old.

> but good luck anyone ever finding it.

Get what you’re saying but hasn’t that always been the case without extensive marketing and promotion?

My understanding that writing and finishing the book is just the start. Then you need to sell the thing.

This is a blast from the past! I remember being really young and buying a GPU based solely on what art was on the box (and yes, it was a scantily clad woman) and getting really, really luckily that it actually worked with my components but it was my intro to upgrading PCs!

I just bought a M4 MBA, my first since a 2014 MBP. I absolutely hated the 26 update on my phone and iPad but honestly don’t even notice it on my MacBook.

I have ADHD and it almost acts as a body double for me, which I find to be incredibly helpful to get things done.

Holy crap, I never knew that was a thing. Thank you!

Not a dev but I’ve had similar experiences testing AI to help me craft various documents.

I spend ages crafting the perfect prompt only to cross my fingers and hope that the output is what I want it to be when I could have just spent all that time actually crafting the document exactly as I want it to be in the first place. Often I then need to spend more time editing and tweaking the output from the AI anyway.

I’m honestly starting to feel a little crazy because I’m the only one at my workplace that sees it this way.

Yep, I certainly have. With just two trackers I’ve got access to pretty much every TV show and movie in existence.

And what's wrong with that if you can afford it like the OP said they could?

Funnily enough I came across these the other day.

Because the majority of people who will buy these would have never have heard of Audeze or Beyerdynamic.

This is the only reason I'm interested in buying these despite the price. Pairing my original Bose QC35's to my Apple devices is annoying and sometimes requires a seperate app all together just to get to work. Seamless pairing across all of my devices is a huge plus for me.

Give your average person that will buy these the same song in .flac and .mp3 and they won't notice a difference anyway.

That looks woefully inadequate to protect an expensive set of headphones.
