Hydra vs. Shredder

azaris writes "The powerful computer chess engine Hydra, running on a sixteen-way Linux cluster, is taking on the many times world champion engine Shredder in a match between the two chess super computers in Abu Dhabi, according to ChessBase.com. So far, Hydra is leading by two clear victories." S!: ChessBase also points to the announcement of a "64,000 square meter International Chess City" in Dubai, planned to cost US $2.6 billion, which "will feature 32 buildings designed to mirror the image of a traditional black and white game board."

This is about understanding what took place, where the doctor wanted to take it away. Linux geeks are one kind of community, it's generally proven impossible to maintain in an ongoing or large-scale way, for either individuals or sites. An ideal sought in part by dubious measures like whether you are reading newspapers, hanging out in groups, spenting time with members of the original Wired. This is the best account we're likely to see very often. Chess backs off from the world. It's different.
