actually accepting the fact that other factors could trump this material advantage, but in, back in 1997, it was impossible. So, machine turning down very generous offer to win huge material for positional , to, for a move to increase positional pressure; I didn't believe that. Jonathan Rosenberg: Hmm.
was really the main breakthrough and and once I guess seven year seven centuries later uh the positional system was introd produced in Europe. It essentially it was it was a revolution almost as big if not bigger than
his answer was, I don't know that we'll ever see the end of the age of oil, but I do know that the Stone Age didn't end People become positionally conservative, because that's what they're doing and that's what they want to keep doing, so they protect it at all costs.
if anyone remembers that. It didn't have something called positional tracking, so it was a little nauseating at the time. Of course, we've come a long way from then.
All away to the east coast of Siberia to Anadyr where I picked up this Russian ice breaker-- it's not quite fully an ice breaker. but then he took a positional reading, and they realized that the ice was drifting faster north than they were moving south.
use so as not to chafe, because oh god, no. That's what's called a positional good.
and you go about setting pathways to get there; that's not necessarily positional authority and you may have coworkers that can help deliver against that 20 million dollar goal, but I don't think it requires positional authority. I think it requires ownership of an activity more than positional authority. Does that address your question?
Jonathan Rosenberg: So, if we just shift to another subject I know you're interested in, after you retired in 2005, you ran for political office. Or suggested it-- phenomenal ability to actually recognize the positional elements in each position and very sharpened dynamically. So he could learn how to do other things in chess. So, it was a
If you only look really close, you will only see the modernist representation of the modernist, let's say, history, but zooming out shifting the perspective. And also being aware of one's positionality is really what I'm trying to argue for here. And maybe one example of this is going back to "Al Emara" magazine and Sayed Karim.
i.e, every single parameter or neuron is activated as you're going through the model for every single token you generate. The common one that DeepSeek used is rotary positional impendings, which is called RoPE.
It's gone red. And then it's got a battery. It's got an IMU so that you can get your positional data, and it's got an accelerometer, so you can be like, drum peaks. And I do air guitar as well, which is really fun.
use so as not to chafe, because oh god, no. Now, the positional good may be valuable as a criteria, or it may be really strange.
I tend to think of this as situations where you have ownership for some level of work or activity, without necessarily positional authority. So, for example, if you're on a customer team and you've got a customer relationship that is a ten million dollar business today, you believe it can be a 20 million dollar business
don't think it requires positional authority. I think it requires ownership of an activity more than positional authority. Does that address your question? So, I do think it's broader than a traditional hierarchy.
actually just breathe better period whether it's during the day during the night and if you're using CPAP and tpap evaluation um and treat um weight loss is very important as well positional therapy helps so remember High said if
So u and as you know the great breakthrough greatest breakthrough in calculation ever had nothing to do with forman or anything. It was u uh the positional system the decimal system and and the algorithms that it enabled here is
So, for example, if you're on a customer team and you've got a customer relationship that is a ten million dollar business today, you believe it can be a 20 million dollar business and you go about setting pathways to get there; that's not necessarily positional authority and you may have coworkers that can help deliver against that 20 million dollar goal, but I don't think it requires positional authority.
all about what was happening between 1950 and 1952 in Brazil. And so being aware of this history, and also of my positionality, when the opportunity came to go to Brazil and to present about Sayed Karim and his work,
can happen. Mhm. What we're now finding is a whole series of other types of apnea. Now there are neural causes to it. There are environmental causes. um there are positional causes. And so as a classic example to round the story out, traditionally if you're told you have apnea, you're going to be given one of
to be analyzed by other computers--modern computers--much weaker computers in term of brute force of calculation, but was more chess understanding, showed that Deep Blue was not exceptional. So, the machines today, they are doing better by going through, through all these games. And to make a very solid positional move instead of winning three points, gaining decisive material advantage was highly unusual for computer of that strength. What
Jonathan Rosenberg: So, if we just shift to another subject I know you're interested in, after you retired in 2005, you ran for political office. Or suggested it-- to work with Magnus is that his chess style is, his natural talent is different from mine, so it's more like Karpov. He's a very quiet, positional player with a very good, with a
