Recent, a fost ziua internațională a recunoștinței.
Îmi exprim recunoștința pentru doi doctori care m-au operat de câteva ori – dr. Alexandru Pesamosca (decedat) și dr. Niculina Bratu (profil activ, inclusiv fotografie, pe paginile: a. Spitalul Clinic de Urgență pentru copii Maria Sklodowska Curie București, fost Budimex, b. Medlife).

I have advising advice for advisors – don’t give advice, that’s my advice, which I also advise you to advise others (about this advice, of course).
Joking, aside, that’s my tip: don’t give advice.
Sure, you can say things which help people notice – “Look, I notice you do so-and-so”. You can express how this impacts you “You doing so-and-so makes me feel so-and-so, and I generally need to take this action in order to …”. So, do tell people how they impact you and what a specific action makes you feel.
On another hand, saying “You should do this” is, in my opinion, a poor solution.
The main reason is that this makes the advice easy to reject.
If you tell me “You tend to …”, I can accept this or reject this. If you tell me “You should do …” / “Why don’t you …” / “I think you should …”, I will definitely have a tendency for rejecting this.
It’s not my idea (“Oh, I need to do so and so”), but a foreign one (“Oh, X told me …”). Thus, I’ll fight it.

What chess engines lack, in my opinion, is the ability to play the natural moves.
If I were designing such algorithms, yes, I would look for solutions to make the computer play better, but I’d also look for solutions to make it play like a human.
99% of the players playing chess can’t even dream of ever beating a computer at the top level. So, they change the difficulty of the algorithm lower. What happens next is that the computer plays either incredibly good moves, or very poor ones, but they all look artificial. A human won’t be either very good or very poor, but on an overall line. Playing against the computer is chaos. And it doesn’t necessarily need to be like this.
For example, a human chess player will always look at the last moved piece, but it might ignore a piece that is not in the center of the action. A human is also more likely to see one or two moves ahead, but not a lot. A human will overlook, at times, checkmate, while a chess engine almost never, even a weak one.
I’m amazed by life. People, things, happenings, events, movies, books, encounters, emotions, principles. And also the dark side, the fail, the fear, the lack of courage, missing ethics.
“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.”
And a video:
But it is! It is a daring adventure! I’m in awe! I’m surprised! Give me more!
I like IMDb’s Top 250 movie list. All-in-all, it’s a great list.
But did you know there are alternative ways to see that list?
For example, you can see the top 1,000 movies sorted by the number of votes:
Yes, I would like to know what movies did others see, even if the average of the movie might be lower.
You can also see the movies sorted by popularity:
