    I don’t even know what to do about LLM authored articles. Do the prompt engineers hitting enter understand it’s difficult to read and off putting? Could HN use a secondary AI tag/flag?

    Sadly I think it’ll be just a dead, poorly written internet moving forward.

    Maybe the article is interesting. I don’t know. It’s exhausting to read.

      I agree but I'm not sure if I'm biased given the nonstop negative comments about AI texts, on top of every text having the same style (which would be equivalent to a human writing every page on the Internet).

      Would we think this was poorly written if we read just this one text 20 years ago? I don't know the answer.

      Totally agree. I saw the idea of “Internet Kessler syndrome” recently and I can’t stop thinking about how it captures this.

    If you want to read something interesting and edifying about chess960, the classical starting position, and other interesting starting positions, might I recommend instead this wonderful paper? https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.14319

    Interesting topic but they couldn't be bothered to spend time writing about it, shame.

    If black and white had different permutations of the back row, you could find more balanced starting positions. Adopt more flexible starting conditions in the computer chess age.

    AI written, and makes no sense it how the piece flows.

      Yep, it was really hard to get my brain to focus on what was actually trying to be conveyed, and I'm a 2000 rated chess player

    "The caveats, which are the honest place to start" UGH

    > Then every setup plays against every other one and earns an honest score.

    ...as opposed to a dishonest score?
