If you ever spent much time at a chess club, you've seen why 2kB is a really disturbing number.

I have not. Can you please tell me why?

He's just trying to trick HN readers to join chess clubs.

[oh_my_goodness]

Not really. You have to see it for yourself.

(Partial answer, 2kB is a very small fraction of what we'd like to think counts as human.)

I don't think what you're saying has any connection to chess or chess clubs.

2kB is a very small fraction of what we'd like to think counts as human

This doesn't seem to mean anything. Why would 2KB have any relation to "counting as human". It's the data of about 10 comments.

TFA describes a 2kB program can play a human game against humans, and sometimes win.

[CyberDildonics]

We know that, that's what the article is about. The things you said are vague and contain no information. What does 2KB have to do with "what we think counts as human" ?

[oh_my_goodness]

I said something very specific. You can refuse to compare 2kB to the size of the human brain, but that has nothing to do with me.

Humans don't have much capacity for systematic tree search. It's sort of amazing that humans can do as well as they can, given that limitation.
