Copy/paste (from reference boards or examples in the datasheet) is pretty common when starting a new design but if you don't then figure out what each connection and external component are there for and adjust to your application (or sometimes figure out the part won't work for you) then you quite literally don't know what you are doing.
22 kHz is not a hard/fast limit. There are people who can hear a bit above 20 kHz. I learned this when working with motor drives (at 23 kHz) but also documented in this wiki reference. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_range#cite_note-10
LOL, the Home Depot flatbed I rented a week ago (the $19 deal although I went a little long and ended up paying $32 total) had just hauled a load of dirt or mulch. No one read me anything saying I couldn't use it for purposes other than carrying a Home Depot purchased item (although that's what I was doing). The HD page for the F250 flatbed does say they only supply a hitch if you are renting something towable from them but says nothing about using it for other purposes (like hauling dirt).
The xiphmont link is pretty good. Reminded me of the nearly-useless (and growing more so every day) fact that incandescent bulbs not only make some noise, but the noise increases when the bulb is near end of life. I know this from working in an anechoic chamber lit by bare bulbs hanging by cords in the chamber. We would do calibration checks at the start of the day, and sometimes a recording of a silent chamber would be louder than normal and then we'd go in and shut the door and try to figure out which bulb was the loud one.
I've assumed or guessed that the noisy bulb had weak spots in the coiled coil filament that changed how they mechanically respond to the temperature cycling at 120 or 100 thermal cycles per second, thereby making them noisier at end of life. I don't know if I read that or am just extrapolating from how burned out bulbs look. Halogen lamps extend the life of incandescent lamps by allowing evaporated tungsten to redeposit on the filament, which says something about the general failure mechanism.
I'm kinda shocked that there's no discussion of sinc interpolation and adapting it's theoretical need for infinite signals to some finite kernel length.
For a sampled signal, if you know the sampling satisfied Nyquist (i.e., there was no frequency content above fs/2) then the original signal can be reproduced exactly at any point in time using sinc interpolation. Unfortunately that theoretically requires an infinite length sample, but the kernel can be bounded based on accuracy requirements or other limiting factors (such as the noise which was mentioned). Other interpolation techniques should be viewed as approximations to sinc.
Sinc interpolation is available on most oscilloscopes and is useful when the sample rate is sufficient but not greatly higher than the signal of interest.

When constraining an entire game being that close as an initial dart throw is pretty good I think. It is also good to use as a check on the plausibility of the author's algorithm. If they had found an encoding that was well below the current estimates for total board states then it likely would have indicated a major flaw (or a major breakthrough worthy of several papers and broader recognition!) At least that is what I meant by 'in the right ballpark'.
Doesn't fractional reserve banking depend upon independence of the various customers? The widely-reported circular financing between AI players does not enjoy that.
