What Is Complexity in Chess?

Pacto Visual May 2020 an interesting proposal was suggested. I provided some constructive criticism on research paper A Metric of Chess Complexity by FM David Peng, as well as constructive criticism on the codebase used to validate this experiment. For many months I have refrained from further comment, and although code has not progressed, two things have: 1. Public interest in "complexity" as determined by ACPL (yuck). 2.

It appears that it was US military communications doctrine to not send the exact same message twice using different encryption ("none" counting as one type of encryption), and the term of art for changing a message to avoid that was indeed "paraphrase".

CarPlay Ultra could soon land on an affordable EV after luxury car debut

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-10-26 15:40:32

CarPlay Ultra arrived this year after taking a bit longer than expected to materialize. The only catch is that next-generation CarPlay is only offered in cars that start around $200,000. That appears to be changing soon with an affordable EV option coming soon. Apple CarPlay is super popular in cars these days, and CarPlay Ultra goes further than ever by taking over almost all of the carmaker’s user interface.

Now’s a great time for Apple to bring back this long-removed iMac feature

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-10-26 16:46:00

A while ago, Apple used to include a software feature with macOS on older iMac models. It was called Target Display Mode, and it allowed you to turn an iMac into an external display once your iMac was too dated to be a usable computer. The company got rid of it with the introduction of the 5K iMac due to technical limitations at the time – though said limitations no longer pose a challenge. As mentioned, Apple previously got rid of the feature due to technical limitations. After the company int

Growing Up on Alcatraz

On a gray May morning — that’s to say a typical San Francisco May morning — in 2014, my mother, my wife, and I convened at Pier 33 to ride to Alcatraz, along with a literal boatload of tourists. But we were on a secret mission. Hours earlier, before leaving the Peninsula, I had opened the box containing my father’s ashes and portioned out perhaps a pint of the coarse, bone-white powder. I’m afraid we hadn’t planned with an eye for ceremony. There were no satin or fine linen sachets; just Ziplo

People Still Spending on Tech Despite Red Flags in July Report

U.S. consumers continued to open their wallets in July, a new study from the Bureau of Economic Analysis showed on Friday, underscoring the resilience of household demand even as inflation held above the Federal Reserve’s target. That doesn’t mean that they didn’t wince while doing it. The Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge, the personal-consumption expenditures price index, rose 0.2% on the month and 2.6% from a year earlier.

Touted As The Tesla-Killer, Lucid Scrambles to Stay On The NASDAQ

gizmodo.com Riley Gutiérrez Mcdermid 2025-10-26 13:26:03

Beleaguered electric vehicle company Lucid Motors (LCID) has implemented a reverse stock split, consolidating shares to meet NASDAQ’s $1 minimum trading price and prevent delisting. As of Friday, Lucid’s share price was down over 96% from its all-time high of $64.86, reached in February 2021. While this move may protect the company from being removed from the exchange for now, it does little to address the underlying issues plaguing the struggling electric vehicle maker.

UK age check law seems to be hurting sites that comply, helping those that don’t

In Brief The United Kingdom recently started enforcing the Online Safety Act’s age-check rules, and The Washington Post reports that it’s already having a significant effect on web traffic. U.K. law now requires pornography websites to verify their users’ ages through means such as face scans and driver’s licenses; it also requires that online platforms prevent children from being exposed to adult content (which is why sites like Bluesky and Reddit have begun checking some users’ ages).

Survey Finds That Self-Driving Is Actively Chasing Buyers Away From Tesla

Tesla's misleadingly-named "full-self driving" (FSD) feature — which still requires drivers pay attention to the road, even if they often fail horrifically at that simple task — is one of the Elon Musk-owned electric carmaker's biggest self-styled selling points. Until recently, the boastful multi-hyphenate entrepreneur's decade-plus of over-promising and under-delivering on assisted driving software did little to tarnish bullish investors' slavish devotion to Tesla.
