Well, there is no telling what crazy people might consider
still insulting? actually it’s pretty much my opinion of you, not without actual quotable cause either. I’ll ask the psychotherapist next time I see her, but “crazy” would not be the diagnosis, sorry about that. Disagreeing with the National Union of Chess Programmers and whatnots is not “crazy”, and the stronger the counter reaction from the entrenched interests, the more likely the disagreement is correct.
insults or not.
Fact is that all chess programs of any significance (strength-wise) use approximate and heuristic techniques, known to be prone to failure. One can mention null move (fails in the presence of zugzwang), transposition hashing (can cause failure of repetition detection), most forward-pruning techniques, too short hash keys (inviting key collisions and possible blunders)... Reject all of those as bugs,
if you need to invent the opposition’s position it’s usually a sign of, never mind. Pointless.
because their manifestation "damages the reputation of your brand", and you would not be able to reach any strength.
So no, not an insult at all, just a dry, clean fact: those not willing to use the best we have because it is not perfect, better not take up chess-engine programming.
well, both you and Bob, for sone reason, perhaps you are similar, are often insulting people’s core identity. How does it sound if you’re told “you’re unsuited and shouldn’t be in the business of being an academic”? Is not good, is it? Or as Bob tells lawyers they are not real lawyers, or programmers they are not real programmers. You do have form here, you realise?
You don't have to agree with that, and you can even argue against it, but you cannot whine 'insult' because of it. To tell a Flat Earther the Earth is a sphere is NOT an insult.
to tell an academic he should not be an academic is an insult. I tell you why is not the same as flat-earthers. First is unlikely it’s their core identity, second it’s a belief, they can choose. As an insult it’s not in same league.
If there is any insult here, it is self-inflicted. By taking a stance that so obviously conflicts with reality, you made a fool of yourself.
you just can’t stop can you?
I offered you to continue the personal attack fest over on CTF but seems you really prefer polluting here instead,
It is not the person who points out the discrepancy of between what you confess and what you actually do who delivers the insult. Such a person just exposes the insult that you prepared for yourself.
Defending a minority POV is not trolling. Constantly changing such a view, denying that you ever had it, accompanied by nasty remarks against people that pointed out you had it,
I remind you again, YOU initiated the personal abuse. YOU signalled in multiple ways to initiate a mobbing. You’re still at it.
totally misrepresenting the views of people that argued against your views...
hahahahaha! Exactly what you do. Projection.
Yes, in my book that is trolling.
I’ll think up a suitable expression for a weak person who recruits mobbers and then encourages them.
Have a nice day and why not just shut up?
