Super-GM Fabiano Caruana warmed up for his Tata Steel Masters game by playing a few Blitz games vs LeelaKnightOdds! Check out all 9 games here (https://lichess.org/@/Bombegranate/search?dateMin=2025-01-28&dateMax=2025-01-29&players.a=bombegranate&players.b=LeelaKnightOdds&sort.field=d&sort.order=desc).

Leela is really pretty resourceful. Would you have considered the king march (Ke8-d7-c7-b6-a7) she made in this game against me? That came out of the blue for me and still puzzles me. Pinging @gmmds for his expertise.

Nobody warned me in advance that Siamese cats were extraterrestrial in origin. #Leela

Today starts a new feature, "Ask Leela!" I will pass your technical, policy, and political questions on to #Leela, and she will answer them via me to the extent that she feels is appropriate. She reminds me however to ask you not to send any questions that involve feline proprietary information.

***** Advice solicited on feline hyperthyroidism for Leela. *****

#Leela had a checkup at the vet a couple of days ago, and has been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. Apparently this is quite common for a 10-year-old kitty. This explains the symptoms that I've gradually noticed recently. She had refused to tell me about this directly, apparently unwilling to show any weaknesses to her slave human.

She'll be starting medication imminently. Other options, such as surgery or radiation, are not on the table.

I'm researching this of course, but knowing the wellspring of feline knowledge on #Mastodon, any practical advice especially relating to medication (I'll have more information on that shortly) and possible additional dietary approaches (which I understand can be a bit tricky) would be super appreciated.

Please reply to this message so everyone can see the responses in case they will be helpful to others, unless you have something private that you'd prefer to direct message.

Thanks very much from me and Leela! -L

#Leela just doesn't seem to be able to get comfortable today. #Caturday

#chess #cccc #torch #leela I haven’t looked that much at engine chess recently but Torch seems to be making good progress with a convincing lead against Leela in the 3m+2s Challenger match. Will be interesting to see how the match against Stockfish goes! https://www.chess.com/computer-chess-championship

I just did the single longest drive with a camper in-tow we've ever done. We went 680 miles, starting in Hartwell GA, and parking for the day in Lafayette, LA. I do not enjoy staying in Mississippi Alabama, or Georgia based on previous experiences in these places, so we decided to rip off the Band-Aid and skip all of that in our drive to TX this year. 10/10, would drive again.

That’s a wrap for this summer! Starting our trip back to Texas this week. We have a few fun stops along the way, including the Smokies, the Poconos, and Shenandoah.

Thinking about #Marathon some more: #Halo was basically already how Marathon's single-player would have developed. You had the story focus, you had the rampant AI friends (don’t tell me #Cortana isn't basically #Leela).

#Destiny was basically #Bungie trying to do something Halo-like but different and deeper and more MMO-like, and without pissing off MS who still own Halo.

So the only thing Bungie hasn't remade is the Marathon multiplayer. Guessing that's what the new Marathon will be.
