@kmcnam1 We had like 20 games on a single 60 min TDK; each game’s start position was known. So you would reach the counter position by FFD, then type LOAD SHADOWFAX and press play, keeping fingers crossed.

From today, Algebrica’s content is open, free, downloadable in Markdown, and reusable by anyone.

This is a step toward a university-level knowledge base that is freely accessible to everyone. Entries will be progressively released on GitHub in Algebrica’s public repository, and can be reused for non-commercial purposes.

To increase transparency, I’m also documenting the editorial process and revising content to improve accuracy and reliability. On some pages, a quality indicator is now visible, including a GPTZero score (not affiliated), as an additional signal of transparency.

I believe these changes move Algebrica toward something more open, more reliable, and more accessible.

I’d also like to thank everyone for the unexpected response to the project, and for the many visits and thoughtful comments.

Philip E. Bourne, founding dean of the University of Virginia School of Data Science, died on March 8, 2026, at age 72 after a long battle with mesothelioma.

He will be remembered and missed by many of us who worked alongside him in the open science movement.

@kmcnam1 @_winter_wonders Agreed, ice dragons pretty nimble at freezing temperatures

@_winter_wonders There is so much AI-written crap on this platform. This sentence is the exact opposite. Wonderful!
