It's ironic, how Kodak was unable to keep up with the revolution, knowing the fact that they invented the digital camera themselves. They invented their own doom.syzygy wrote: ↑Wed Sep 30, 2020 1:21 pmThis is the advice that Kodak got when the digital camera arrived.

I believe you should continue your work as if Leela on the one hand and NNUE on the other never existed.
IGNORE modern fancy trends because they are just modern fancy trends.
It would be as if someone discovered a new technique such as NNUE, decides that it's not worth using because it is "not good enough" or "doesn't work as desired", and then gets crushed by others who do use refined versions the idea.
What Maksim probably means is: go your own way with your engine. Even if the first 5 engines on the list are all NNUE or Leela-like engines, you can STILL be the strongest pure alpha/beta engine. (I even think that there should be separate lists for pure A/B-engines, NNUE engines, and Leela-like engines that run on GPU's, because they're so different that it's almost impossible to really compare them fairly.)
