= Artistic
{synonym}
Stuff that is beautiful but useless because it does not make food or houses cheaper.
Or from <Ciro Santilli's best random thoughts>:
> Without technology, one cannot survive. Without art, one cannot live.
But that sure enough has a <Jesus> semi-precursor, and likely many others: <man shall not live by bread alone>.
There is some art however that lives in the fine intersection between beauty and usefulness:
* <mathematics>
* <physics>
* <computer>
= Useful
{parent=Art}
Something is useful if it either:
* makes <money>
* creates <novel research>[novel knowledge], or present knowledge in a novel way, that others may find beautiful

{tag=Ciro Santilli}
Maybe those are genial. Maybe not. Nostalgia is just too strong to discern. Ciro still goes back to them for rest.
= Children cartoons Ciro Santilli liked to watch
{parent=Art young Ciro Santilli consumed}
These did not stand the test of time however.
When Ciro was ten years old, he was addicted to 2 cartoons: <Pokemon> and <Dragon Ball Z>!
Pokemon had just launched in Brazil in 1999, 2 years after the Japanese launch: https://br.historyplay.tv/hoje-na-historia/comeca-exibicao-original-do-anime-pokemon (http://web.archive.org/web/20191221091947/https://br.historyplay.tv/hoje-na-historia/comeca-exibicao-original-do-anime-pokemon[archive]) And Dragon Ball, was first aired in 1989 in Japan! My God, those translations took forever back then!
And \i[everyone] was playing Pokemon on their https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Boy_Color[Game Boy Color]. Ciro was <Ciro Santilli's psychology and physiology>[already cheap] however, and didn't buy the console despite wanting it, and just played it through his friends handhelds. But maybe this is a good thing. Playing alone sucks.
= Games young Ciro Santilli played
{parent=Art young Ciro Santilli consumed}
{tag=Game}
Mostly <video games> of course.
First when he was really young, about 5, Ciro played a lot of <NES>, but he doesn't remember things from that era very well. Contra, Ninja Turtles, Battle Tanks, Duck Hunt, and some modern "real world jet" top to bottom rail shooter (TODO identify) are definitely some of the games he clearly remembers playing, see also: <image Five year old Ciro Santilli playing NES on a joystick>. <Nintendo hard> was truly a thing back then.
As an honorable mention, Ciro remembers his teenage/young adult neighbours in <Jundiaí> playing some <DOS> games on their computer, notably there was a 3D racing one. This must have been around 1995/1997, so using some of the very earliest <GPUs>. Those games felt so incredibly advanced, including the required setup to play them, which required some <command-line> commands. It felt like some kind of black magic! But Ciro didn't really play them however.
Ciro then skipped the <SNES> and handhelds, which he played only through friends because he <Ciro Santilli's cheapness>[was cheap] (but also because Brazil is a poor country remember, and imports are pretty expensive). He clearly remembers playing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Mario_World[Super Mario World] for the SNES and <children cartoons Ciro Santilli liked to watch>[Pokemon on friends' Gameboys] of course.
Ciro then went straight to 5th generation with the <Nintendo 64> in 1994 which his parents bought for him during a trip to the <United States>. Once again, because he was cheap, the only game he bought was <Super Mario 64>, which likely came with the console? He played that game to death.
Then came <Ocarina of Time>, which blew everyone's minds, and Ciro would go to Blockbuster to rent it for the weekend, and again play to death with his friends. You had to arrive early at Blockbuster to rent it, otherwise other people would rent all copies!!!
The only time Ciro got robbed as of 2020 was when an older teenager stopped his bicycle in front of Ciro and took his rented Golden Eye 64 copy away from his hand, and run off. Poor drug addict.
Ciro always felt that the PS1 had a much uglier aesthetics than the N64, and didn't like the console. Playing a bit of <Final Fantasy VI> on his memory did stick deeply to his mind however. Ciro later played all good PS1 RPGs on emulation during <University of São Paulo> during amazing solitary nights.
And on the PC, Ciro was particularly touched by <Age of Empires II> and <Diablo II>.
As a young teenager Ciro would also play <Counter-Strike> with his friends at LAN houses. Playing that game would make Ciro extremely anxious, his hands got all cold, and it was a lot of fun.
After this Ciro grew up and notice that the only fun game is that of becoming <Ciro Santilli's selfish desires>[become rich and famous] in the real world.
This explains however Ciro's <tool-assisted speedrun> interests.
Outside of video games, Ciro got midly addicted to <Magic: The Gathering> in his early teens.

{parent=Art young Ciro Santilli consumed}
Lower teens, before discovering more hardcore stuff that is more genial and adult-venerable:
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearl_Jam[Pearl Jam]
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creed_(band)[Creed]
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hot_Chili_Peppers[Red Hot Chili Peppers]
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guns_N%27_Roses[Guns N' Roses]
So a base mix of what you migth expect from a regular male teenager born in 1989 Brazil.
OK, Ciro still comes back to those from time to time, he confesses. Nostalgia, nostalgia.
The following are also adult venerable though :-)

As mentioned https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rage_Against_the_Machine[on Wikipedia], it has only 8 lines of lyrics.
And the most satisfying "Ugh"s ever recorded on tape. <Rap rock> perfectly describes the genre.
And no, the opening sentence "Some of those that work forces" is not understandable: https://ell.stackexchange.com/questions/262444/what-is-the-meaning-of-the-phrase-that-work-forces-in-rage-against-the-machine

``
Sweet <ASCII art>. where:
* `Fen`: <FEN notation>
* `Key`: TODO

``

Then display again:

gives:

so we see that the pawn moved.
Now let's make Stockfish think for one second what is the next best move for black:
``
go movetime 1000
``
gives as the last line:
``
bestmove c7c5 ponder g1f3
``
TODO:
* what is ponder? Something to do with thinking on the opponent's turn: <permanent brain>.

To make the move it as suggested for black, we have to either repeat the entire sequence of movements:
``

``
`d`:
``

``
or alternatively we could also use the previous <FEN notation> as a starting point;
``
position fen rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/4P3/8/PPPP1PPP/RNBQKBNR b KQkq - 0 1 moves c7c5
``
Note how the <Universal Chess Interface> interface is very simple: we just load a state and then decide what to do next for that one state. The engine holds only one and exactly one state at a time, and you can't even modify it differentially without loading new one from scratch.
Let's move white again with our brain with either:
``
position startpos moves e2e4 c7c5 d2d3
position fen rnbqkbnr/pp1ppppp/8/2p5/4P3/8/PPPP1PPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 2 moves d2d3
``
Set a specific position from `fen`:
``
position fen rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/4P3/8/PPPP1PPP/RNBQKBNR b KQkq - 0 1
