I agree that multiplying 42x37 is not difficult. Many western mental calculators can do so quickly. I also agree that grinding, memorization, and tricks play a role in mental math.…

I view this as a political constraint, cf. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/lifeboat-games-and-backscra... . One's identity as Academic, Democrat, Zionist and so on demands certain…

The 40 block version of AlphaGo Zero is stronger than the 20 block version of AlphaGo Master.

AlphaGo Master, unsurprisingly, was significantly stronger than AlphaGoZero. AlphaZero, although it can play multiple games, was weaker yet. In both cases, they compared the 40 blo…

Good question. I'm not a lawyer; I assume edge cases will be decided by the relevant tax authorities. Speculating here, but if there's a single place where management decisions are…

Many countries, and I think most countries in Europe, have language related to "place of effective management" in their tax code. Even a corporation incorporated in Cyprus (say), i…
