I don't mind, of course, but it goes to show that the whole thing is bogus and a different set of laws apply depending on how much money you have.

Engines like LC0 that do use the GPU work by searching fewer positions but with a heavier eval function. This makes the latency less relevant because it is a smaller percentage of the GPU time.

For example, where I live, nearly all people wear clothes, and they generally think that wearing clothes is important - even if the weather is mild enough that you won't get cold or sunburn if you dispensed with them. Moreover, they will get upset if other people dispense with theirs.

What I find funny is that people will ridicule organised religions for prescribing certain clothing (such as Mormonism, Sikhism, Islam), blissfully unaware of their own quasi-religious attitudes towards clothing.

And sometimes these attitudes can be quite extreme. There is a man in the UK who has been in prison for years for indecent exposure. Every time he is released from prison, he strips off outside, and they call the police to re-arrest him.

I think most people of that persuasion just want to break up large tech companies though, not ban them outright.

Two equally good programmers may come up with radically different interfaces. Whereas if given an interface and instructed to implement it, they are likely to converge to a similar implementation.

Haskell should have enforced that every operator must have a `name`.

Being able to read music is important because it is how musical ideas are communicated with precision.

Sight reading is a skill that is only useful in certain professional contexts and adds nothing to one's musical ability. You can safely dispense with sight reading as a skill if you will not be using it.
