Having said all that, I don't think SF is totally off the hook yet. It just sounded like SF was being criticised for not having an evaluation of e.g. -2, when -2 is probably totally wrong. SF (W) & Leela (B) play to this position: 3r4/pp4k1/1bn1Rr1p/6p1/5p1P/1NP2P2/PP1R1P1B/6K1 w - - 1 11 SF thinks...

I am looking for a new computer since it has been a while. I saw a 2990wx with 16 GB ram, 2080ti, 500 SSD drive for 3k. Overall do you think this is a reasonable deal? Will this be a good setup for a few years? I know new chips are coming out, but will this be good "bang for your buck"? I know a fe...

It's better to buy DDR4 32 or 64 GB RAM.

As it is early era of NN, no one knows the optimum size of network for current consumer hardwares.

It is a very goo...

INT8 is much better than FP16.

Some days ago at TCEC:
Scorpio INT8 vs LCZero1pct v0.21.2-n42547 +0 =4 -0
Scorpio INT8 vs LCZeroCPU v0.21.2-nLD2 +0 =4 -0

Now Scorpio INT8 vs LCZeroCPU v0.21.2-nLD2 +1 =1 -0

Will LC0 ever use INT8 instead of FP16?
