Fairly small change, just some changes to the initial piece placement.

“All Kings, Rooks, Pawns are in their original locations as chess but other pieces are placed randomly in their first and last ranks, with no symmetry requirement between two sides, with the only restriction for bishops of each side must be on different colored squares.”

so the knights and bishops can swap places?

I've been trying to get approval from Google for the sensitive scopes to use IMAP, and they classified us as needing "CASA Tier 3 Security Assessment". It looks like it is going to be a long, tedious, opaque, and expensive process.

What are you building?

An email client for Gmail.

Interesting. I take it you've seen Notion's new product?

Are you aiming to directly compete with Notion/Superhuman?

Edit: I see you're an academic, perhaps my questions are irrelevant

Oh, do I agree…

My blog is both #142 and #274, nice! (Used to use a university domain.)

The combined score puts me at #71 all time or #31 since 2019 when I started writing. Very cool.

Ah, I didn't realize that your blog had moved. I've merged them, so now you're #74 of all time.

Haskell is listed.

Downloading it now. I didn't know about it. Looks like there are a lot of big names!

If we don't blog, what will the next big AI models be trained on?!

Good point. "Blog as much as you can, as otherwise the training set will be Twitter!"

I think there is a more important reason to blog besides the 3 reasons listed: to force yourself to slow down, organize your thoughts, fill in the holes, and articulate your points.

Though admittedly I first heard it from Leslie Lamport and that's who I associate it with.

That's what I was trying to cover with the "make your newly-acquired knowledge concrete" bit, and was my focus in the previous post. This time around I wanted to look into the aspects that might be impacted by AI (and why I didn't think they would be).

You don't really need to blog for that though? You could just write to a text file on your PC and not throw it online.

Socrates would like a word with you.

Third time! It’s good. I like reading these kind of stories so I resubmit if they don't get attention.

If I submit something that's recently been submitted, HN just loads the prior submission. How do you avoid that?

Wait at least 24 hours and only if it didn’t get many votes.
