Do you want to leave your country, at least for a bit of time (or is it possible that political/social instabilities will make you want that in the future)? That could be a hint for medicine.
I studied law for 3 years and hated it, but it's mostly because of my philosophical/political beliefs. On the bright side, it is very diverse, so you could quite easily connect it to something you like (art, environment, digital, politics, etc).
it is of course way worse than almost any algorithm designed for chess
one of the reason we cannot get these result back (at least not that good, here is a link to a blog post of someone making recent LLMs chatbots better at chess) could be that we do not have access to pure completion mode on models trained on selected data (where they could purposefully choose only good chess matches), and those are now hidden behind a chatbot layer instead.
it seems to reveal that models have a somehow accurate representation of the chess board when predicting chess moves
it seems to have a quite unique feat that is : if you feed them a prompt that say they play as a very good player, and then the beginning of a game with a blatant bad move (giving away a queen for example), they sometimes play the entire game with moves that purposefully give away pieces, as if they guess that the only reason they would lose a piece that easily is by purposefully losing them. It has close to zero utility, but it's interesting anyway.
Here is the main blog post that i remembered : it has a follow up, a more scientific version, and uses two other articles as a basis, so you might want to dig around what they mention in the introduction.
It is indeed a quite technical discovery, and it still lacks complete and wider analysis, but it is very interesting for the fact that it kinda invalidates the common gut feeling that llms are pure lucky random.
Oh yes, cost of training are ofc a great loss here, it's not optimized at all, and it's stuck at an average level.
Interestingly, i believe some people did research on it and found some parameters in the model that seemed to represent the state of the chess board (as in, they seem to reflect the current state of the board, and when artificially modified, the model takes modification into account in its playing). It was used by a french youtuber to show how LLMs can somehow have a kinda representation of the world. I can try to get the sources back if you're interested.
Law. I was pretty hyped up when i went to university to study it, but the more i learnt on the foundations of it and discovered the people it created, the more i hated it. Now I'm doing completely different things, and i'm glad my parents didn't force me to keep doing it.
I mean, resources can also include time, energy, contacts, social abilities, all of which are much more important than money when organizing a protest, especially a 'small' one. Ofc, your argument still stands that thz best way to get something is to work for it to be done, but it is reasonable to think that someone might miss resources in the broad sense as above, making it much more work relatively speaking.
Blague à part, je suis d'accord avec toi sur le principe "ce n'est pas l'argent en lui-même qui rend con". Par contre, je pense qu'on peut faire survivre le problème si on considère que l'argent est entendu ici non pas comme une somme de monnaie concrète, mais comme un ensemble de transactions qui organise notre société. Ce n'est plus alors l'utilisation du billet de 1 dollar qui peut rendre con/méchant, mais ce qu'on ferait pour en obtenir d'autre, ou pour ne pas le perdre, etc. A ce titre, on peut agir de manières qui ne sont cohérentes que si on les prend du point de vue de l'argent (comme des achats compulsifs pendant les soldes), ce qui peut faire dire que l'argent rend con/méchant en introduisant des mécaniques qui nous font prendre des décisions cons/méchant.
Crêpes-party ! Cook a bunch of crêpes and prepare some stuff to put in : either salty (meats, cheeses, cream, smoked fish,...) or sweet (chocolate sauce, caramel, jelly, fruits spread, sugar,...). You can ask people what they like before hand, so that everyone has something they appreciate. If you need a vegan option, you can swap milk for plant milk and eggs for a mix of starch and water.
J'ai voulu vérifier l'orthographe, et autant c'est bon, autant a priori c'est spécifiquement le camembert, en tout cas d'après le wiktionnaire. Perso je l'utilise pour tous les fromages, mais y'a peut-être des puristes de l'argot qui m'y reprendraient.
I agree on the last point, the actual statistics have no real use in our discussion since we seem to be in a theoretical matter (i used to discuss this subject with people actually thinking that it would lead to under representation of cis women in winning women athletes, that's where this argument came from).
The two remaining points (differences and fairness) are kinda the same to my eyes. I'd say i do not focus on disadvantages rather than advantages, i just do not care for any of them, in my eyes they cancel each other out. Now, saying that those differences make the sport thing unfair, does not make sense to me : sport is unfair. We sometimes try to make it more fair with arbitrary categories based on gender, age, weight, etc, but in the end we cannot erase advantages. Some swimmers have genetically better lungs or bigger arms, and we do not make a special category for them, and we shouldn't : that's the point, seeing who's better. There is an unending list of differences between athletes that can lead to (dis)advantages : i think there is no sense trying to erase them all, and even if you did, trans athletes is such a small sample as you said, with such little and debated differences, that even if there were actual advantages, it would be so long down the list of advantages to erase that it should not matter anyway.
To sum up, in my opinion : trans athletes do not have advantages, and even if they had, they would be far less impacting than other advantages that we do not and should not account for.
I don't know of any way to use smthg like a .svg file as texture. You could build a procedural shader within Blender and get detailed results, but this requires some time and may be a bit harder if it's not random generation.

Anyway, good luck for your exams!
