I don't think it was purely a calculation error, it was probably also an intuitive evaluation. Bobby was trying to complicate the game and create an imbalance, where there were still winning chances if misplayed by spassky, but obviously it was a bad evaluation and it backfired. I think he was in a bit of a mood and got reckless. He had been making a lot of demands leading up to this and threats to not participate, probably got frustrated by the drawn endgame and took a big risk. I don't think he ever really opened up about his reasoning to be fair, but was asked along the lines of "were you trying to complicate the game" and he said "something like that". After losing those first two games he demanded the cameras to be removed from the playing hall and started to play really well against spassky, so possibly a psychological aspect from the cameras were also to blame. Maybe he knew he was throwing the game and it'd make for an entertaining match... the guy was sort of insane

I love the concept. I wouldn't prefer to play chess this way, but I've had a lot of practice, I find it visually a little distracting but I started getting used to it.

I had a situation where my queen was being attacked by a bishop, and the board showed a "safe" space to move my queen, but that queen would have still been attacked by the bishop along that diagonal. Not sure how you solve that, maybe when clicking on a piece, recalculate the board as if the piece is no longer there?

Wonder if simple fork, skewer, or attack counting threats could also be highlighted in some way. I suppose at a certain point it's just too visually busy and the tactics get way deeper than the surface level notions and end up being a distraction, but could be fun exploring an opening or previous game and seeing the "obvious" threats you might not have seen when playing

RE: slow autoscaling

Maybe the cloud companies could do something here by always keeping a small subset of machines online and ready to join the cluster. Provided there is some compromise in what the configuration is for the end user. I guess it doesn't solve image pulling. Pre-warming nodes is an annoying problem to solve.

Best solution I've been able to come up with is: Spegel (lightweight p2p image caching) + Karpenter (dynamic node autoscaling) + pods with low priority to hold onto some extra nodes. It's not perfect though

I think it gets hard when an emergent chain of complex trust relationships need to be built and understood. Things like IAM identity center, workload identity, IRSA on EKS, service principals vs roles for accessing other services from a service, resource policies vs principle-level policies and when to use each. Not necessarily intuitive all the time. I don't think it's THAT hard and I understand why some of these things were built this way, but it's a huge complicated ecosystem of services and I understand why it can get confusing to some. Gotta be disciplined about it.

Coming from the world of audio software I've always wondered why it seemed like Adobe has such a stranglehold on visual work and nothing really catches up to photoshop or illustrator. In audio there are several big DAWs (digital audio workstations) that I would classify as popular and competent enough for serious work, each of which has artists or producers that have built successful careers around. Yes there are endless wars about what is better but more or less can do the same things and most experienced people say, choose one, learn it, decide what works for you. I feel like with photoshop it's always like "oh it's missing critical feature x, y, and z compared to photoshop so it's a dealbreaker". The closest analogy I could think of is pro-tools being a popular "de-facto" standard in many pro recording studios, but most hobbyists don't use pro-tools and agree that it's popular in pro studios mostly due to tradition.

I'm surprised there aren't at least a handful of adobe competitors that carved a niche and are significantly popular because they made some key workflows faster, more intuitive, or more powerful.

Maybe this difference is because of ubiquitous plugin formats like VST that translate across different DAWs?

In the context of this article, it is that security scanning software that companies/users are using seem to be indexing some of the 12-char links out of emails which ends up in some cases on public scan. Additionally, if domain.com/12-char-password is requested without https, even if there is a redirect, that initial request went over the wire unencrypted and therefore could be MITM, whereas with a login page, there are more ways to guarantee that the password submit would only ever happen over https.
