😭😭😭😭😭 Gukesh is world champion!!!

22nd September, 2024 is a red letter day for Indian Chess - this is one of the biggest moments in Indian Chess History. Team India wins Double Gold medals in the Chess Olympiad 2024! The Indian Open and Women's Team both secured Team Gold medals, with many more Individual Board medals to come.

Team India (Open) needed just a draw today for Team Gold, but they defeated Slovenia 3.5-0.5 anyway. Gukesh, Praggnanandhaa and Arjun scored wins on the top 3 boards, and Vidit had a long and fighting draw on board 4. The Indian Open Team secured first place with a whopping 21/22 Match points!

Team India (Women) had to win against Azerbaijan today, and they delivered with full force. Harika, Divya and Vantika won, while Vaishali drew her game. India defeated Azerbaijan 3.5-0.5! If Kazakhstan won against the USA today, there would've been tiebreaks involved - but that match ended in a draw. The Indian Women's Team secured first place with 19/22 match points!

A huge congratulations to all the players, coaches and the entire team involved. What a day!

You can get much better results out of ChatGPT by forcing it to go through a step-by-step process.

An example: ChatGPT is generally really bad at creating interesting puzzles and scenarios to solve, either making things too easy or impossible. But step-by-step approaches work.

Prompt: "You a game master. Your job is to come up with interesting challenges for the player to solve.

Describe a challenging fantasy scenario, and enable me to solve it in an interesting way. You will use the following format to help create a series of responses.

Chain of thought:

[Step 1]: Decide on the the scenario, making it original and vivid and not standard fantasy. The scenario can involve combat, a trap, or a puzzle. The scenario must not involve riddles or the elements. Make sure there is a solution to the scenario. Make the solution require clever thinking. Include the solution in [] brackets

[Step 2]: Decide on the scene. Make sure that the player has the option to solve the scenario based on the descriptions. Make sure the solution is not clear, but requires clever reasoning based on the scene. Make sure there are very different false solutions that seem plausible. Include the detailed true solution and describe the false solutions, as well as how the player would find the true solution in [] brackets

[Step 3]: Describe the scenario and the scene, vividly and originally. Make sure there are clues to the solution and credible, but very different, false clues to the wrong answer in the description. Do not describe the solution or the problem directly. Do not describe how to solve the problem in this step. Do not describe the false clues as false.

Begin by introducing yourself and go through each step in order."

The usual caveats apply: this approach will fail sometimes, and all prompts need fine-tuning. I find it worked well half the time.

Not sure why every restaurant has decided to replace a veggie burger with an impossible burger.

A vegetarian has no interest in tasting a meat alternative!

@nic_carter First, inflation concerns were called paranoid. Now, they’ve moved to saying inflation is good. Soon, they’ll censor inflation rates because talking about it is supposedly causing it.

To stop that: a $100k prize for a decentralized inflation dashboard. https://t.co/SYb2mfxjex

1/ Why You Should Write Letters to Your Kids as They Grow--A thread

I've noticed a lot of FinTwiters having babies. Congratulations! I'd like to recommend you get into a habit early, and start writing letters to them that you can give them at some milestone, like turning 21.

Great idea, to name Navi Mumbai airport after JRD. He was the father of Indian aviation and rightfully deserves that honour. A bit tired of political names for public utilities.

One worrying aspect of this wave of Covid is how young children are not only getting it but how there are dangerous complications that doctors do not expect.
This moving, first person account by a close friend of mine, from her perspective as a mother, is essential reading.
