Now the era of computer chess engine programming also seems to be over: AlphaZero, developed by @DeepMindAI & @demishassabis, took just 4 hours playing against itself to learn to play better than Stockfish (it won 64:36)!

Homeless Swedes Out in the Cold
https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/11503/sweden-homeless
The other day, I reported about the Church of Sweden’s strenuous efforts to appease Islam. Now comes the news that from December 15 to March 15, churches in the diocese of Gothenburg will be used at night as shelters for the homeless. Lovely idea. But there is a catch. The only homeless people who will be allowed in are foreigners — either immigrants from elsewhere in the EU, who are by definition legal, or illegal immigrants from outside the EU. In other words, native Swedes need not apply, even though the initiative is being paid for by taxpayer money.
