  • i have so many protocols to represent the most common fractions perfectly without needing more than just ONE bit. They even work with positive and negative infinity!

    The trick is to first negotiate the protocol youre using.

    protocol schema 1/2

    1 bit, little endian

    if one: value is exactly 1/2

    If zero: value is NOT one half

    Schema 1/3

    if one: value is 1/3








  • I feel like these posts are just honeypots for people who’d actually do something more effective

    Like it takes time to plant shit and it’s hilariously ineffective against a place with cameras around it. They will see a dude with a trowel and face mask and bamboo and laugh while they call the cops. Then that person doesn’t do any harm but the intent is very fucking clear and they get charged in court as if they were going to do something actually dangerous. It doesn’t matter that the attempt was pointless… The intent was there, and it’s easy to prove because they probably sent this meme to someone.

    This meme is a control tactic, and there’s going to be a few idiots getting arrested with gardening tools near data centers, trying to act like they “accidentally” planted bamboo in the wrong place, meanwhile getting charged with criminal intent after an investigation.



  • The main world championship and title of GM is open to everyone, so it’s not truly split.

    There are FIDE women only tournaments but that’s due to there being less participation of women. When you have something like this where the skill distribution is gaussian, if you have like 50 women compete and 1000 men, you will notice that it’s extremely unlikely for a woman to ever reach 1st place just due to statistics. Replace women and men with brown hair and blond hair and you’d see the same phenomenon.

    The tail of the statistics where you see extreme deviations of improved skill would be dominated by the population with much larger participation.

    To counter this, they have women only tournaments so that you always have a woman in 1st place in some tournament, basically to improve participation and convince more girls to play when they’re young.

    There are of course probably other factors but these things improve participation and are meant to help get more women in chess, not separate them out.
