Let me explain my point further by giving an example of what knowledge exactly are we talking about here, that engines and endgame tablebases possess,...

Humans built it, know what it does and how, hence no point in analyzing that. And that does not help at all to extract the knowledge it collected.

Initially I envisaged this discussion to be about explanations in the context of chess, and in the last minute I changed my mind about the title, whic...

Thank you praxis.

I think this is more like necroposting than trolling.

OK, Paul S already answered that Mary does not refer to her own children as her nieces, and he even noticed the missing h in Marta, which I didn’t, so...

CM then, or even stronger? Do you do online tutoring?

Of course.

By the way, there are some unanswered questions in my thread over there, what do you think about that?

Yes, I usually play 5+5 or 10+0.

Yeah well, many awkward things are doable, but there really is no point in doing this that way. Now that I invited you, I think you can review all my ...

In the same dialect, the question would be can anyone prove that claim about being true to yourself as a best life strategy? Because, proving a theore...

Or, in modern language, a good computation ability of ones brain is a fundamental virtue.

Nobody objected to this, but if this is really true, that such conclusion can be a result of calculation, can anyone show the exact procedure? In math...

This I don’t like. There is no such goal, and not participating much in philosophical discussions, I did not know that rationality is “all-time philos...

This is a decent summary of the discussion. Plus, convincing oneself that suboptimal play is intentional, is rationalization. Every now and then it ma...

And where do you think Jesus stands on the issue? In this time of year it is proper to ask our selves about it. He wasn’t concerned with game theory, ...

And information asymmetry present in life, is not the source of pure luck, which is an important factor in games such as lottery and life. It is the s...

There is another distinction between life and bridge, and that is information symmetry, which is present in bridge, giving equal opportunity to player...

I think that pun was intended, at least that was my impression when I read that book.

It doesn’t mean that their thought process is not impressive when they manage to defeat 50 average players hardly ever pausing to think, but not every...

Reasonably decent is a relative term, which can sometimes obstruct strolling around: https://youtu.be/uoJFnuJv60c https://youtu.be/1lXeygPM5CY

One instance of that might be Karpov’s reluctance to give up a pawn if not entirely sure it leads to a win?

And as Tobias said, besides zero sum character, chess is also a game of perfect information https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_information , that f...

I am not looking for any particular kind of answer, and the question is equally about life and chess, so feel free to contribute whatever you find you...

Trust me, you are not helping your case with these posts, neither in proving your great sense of humour, nor politeness. Shouting around that you have...

Yeah, well, if people don’t laugh at your jokes there are two possible explanations, either they don’t have a sense of humour, or you don’t. And it se...

Exactly, nice analogy. I was just emphasizing cancers as the main example of fragility and underminer of robustness, because for multicellular organis...

The essence of the difference is that multicellular ones are more complex. The relative simplicity of single celled ones is at the same time their lim...

I think the main advantage of a single cell organism over a multi cell organism may be obvious, it cannot develop a tumor? It is questionable that dir...

OK, although this may look like an attempt to extort compliments for the original poster, that is a program called Hrvoje, I assure you it was not. I ...

OK, that would not be entirely possible here, as there is no liking here, just flagging, even views are not registered or visible, the number of repli...

Good point, I can't explain exactly how I walk, even though it is a voluntary conscious activity, unlike digestion. I can say that I move my legs in f...

The same guy, David Deutsch, came up with the following distinction: knowledge is information with causal power: https://twitter.com/DavidDeutschOxf/s...

Other theories of information that I know of, are Shannon, and Kolmogorov/Chaitin/Solomonoff (Algorithmic information theory).

Well, I come up with such questions as in original post by reading this: http://constructortheory.org/portfolio/the-philosophy-of-constructor-theory/ ...

Totally agree with your comments. The question is how sustainable is that knowledge communism. This reminds me of open source software. Everyone can g...

Yes, that is it, another example would be the task of synthesizing a protein, based on the information stored in DNA, done by enzymes which are constr...

Yes, thank you for responding, but, for example, the genetic information is also discrete, otherwise it could not be a subject of DNA repair mechanism...
