I guess the next low hanging fruit would be to prove (or disprove!) the same for chess960

Maybe a dumb question, but speedier in reference to what? Design of Experiments?

> something like ~15 clock cycles Even less with PEXT! https://chessprogramming.wikispaces.com/BMI2#PEXTBitboards Poking around and reading through the wiki blew my mind. I hope th…

If Google can "basically determine web standards", then I don't see how it's possible for anyone else to "still have a seat on the table". I mean, if they cared enough about it and…

Oh, wow. I couldn't really figure out which parts of AMPL were proprietary and I guess I immediately dismissed it after that without understanding how it worked. As for Pyomo, whil…

I guess it doesn't matter that much, but if there were a common language, it would be a nice feature that would allow you to skip the middleman altogether and have simpler dependen…

Maybe I was confusing my terms or something. I think of these as like an API as well, although packaged into a nice library that automates some stuff. So I guess I'll try to descri…

Thanks, but it was not really what I was looking for. I was looking for something that feels closer to a DSL than an API. In OR, a language like AMPL (IIRC, by Brian Kernighan) or …

>One thing i've learnt is that comparing optimisation algorithms is really hard It still boggles my mind how simplex, something that theoretically runs worse that interior point me…

Glad to see someone posted about COIR-OR! I've been looking at open source solvers for a while now to solve an MIP, and this one seems to be the best. There is this annoying thing …

Probably the wrong engine to test this with then. Although it's interesting nonetheless. It's pretty well known that chess engines have this trade-off between searching and evaluat…

Thanks for that. My undergrad was Industrial Engineering but I always loved the Operations Research stuff (which I'm hoping will lead me to more CS-y stuff if I can get a job or a …

For something as well known as shortest path, no. One thing about LP/MIP formulations though, is that it's arguably easier to extend. Not to say there aren't tricks to modifying ex…

I have some idea how it MIGHT work, but it would be a very boring solution involving 'learning' Stockfish's parameters and HOPING to find improvements to something like integrating…

Does this mean it learns what to search? I wonder why they thought it was a good idea. I thought the whole point of MC was that pruning algorithms like the ones in chess wouldn't w…

For those of us who just want Linux on the phone, but don't know much about hardware and low level stuff: What can we expect? How powerful are these going to be? I guess asking how…

I don't get the issue as well, but maybe from ignorance. Can't I just get the rust compiler in LLVM's IR form and bootstrap from there?

After this, do a bit of research on goal programming or other approaches to multiobjective optimization. It could really help and depending on the approach, it's not that hard. It …

And here I am, still waiting for the second edition of that book on learning Rust to be finished. I want to learn Rust for fun and I know I should probably just start on reading th…

Can someone explain simply what this means for projects like libreboot and coreboot? I'm always interested with this stuff and it's implications, but don't have the background to u…

As much as I want a FLOSS phone to succeed, I have my doubts. Then again, I'm not sure how all the Matrix stuff works, but if I can't simply give someone my phone number and expect…

As someone who first learned how to program by implementing PRNGs but never really digging deeper into it, I found this post very interesting to read. I do have an idea about some …

>Understanding this subject is very important in my opinion, this is one of the foundational things we do. Attaining a comfort level with compiler engineering is one the two or thr…

I don't understand why this still looks scary to me. A while back after learning regex (though only at a basic level) I thought, maybe I can make my own custom C preprocessor as an…

As someone who was forced to learn Palmer style in school, I must say I always hated the capital Q. I don't know if I just couldn't get it right, or I never really saw it as legibl…
