>> Problems… —PH

With gratitude, i’d already riffen on this with “… [YC] proved its salt…”

Riffing on the schlep of “talking to users” my current (more designori-oriented?) variant is “building a marketplace Elon style”

Top of my deadtree stack is Chazelle, The Discrepancy Method (1998)

(Father of the regrettably more famous Chazelle, if you’re okay californicating rabbit holes)

If you interpret (like i do) AGI as “median human level allweather selfdriving cars”, 2030 sounds a little optimistic even for that.

If AGI is IMO 6/6(/6) 2030 might be even less optimistic but the confidence interval for “Bethlehem*” is wider..

Weeds sounds like shlep without the chutzpah while your former sounds like chutzpah without the shlep?

For the optimum (i.e. “pinnacle”) shall we use the latinate term “panache”? (Or do you have something more victorian)

I realized the beekeeper quasidoggerel was perhaps inspired by a recent movie (2024) i hadnt heard about..

Though breaking taps violated the Thorne-Weiss rules of game playing, i appreciated the effective documentation of thymos

Cultural revo for the old c. :=> wardriven emigration to the relatively hilly Eastcoast

>these prizes give me the willies … use… the money to help grad students

Echoes of JZY’s straight hook…

(Compare with the ineffective ennoblement of vM’s or Volodya illyich’s line)

Its also worth placeholdering that PG’s role model is the aanglo neoEdwardian(?) (Bloomsbury) jMKeynes rather than the teutonic (neoVic) vonMises, considering the diverging hypernormal interpretations of their legacy.

(Compare with anglophile GCL?)

Refactoring KST’s (from Rainer?) “only 2 games worth playing, the opening game and the endgame”, i propose: “only 2 things worth doing: showing its possible or making it easy”

Not to needlessly alleviate your suffering, but what is LTL?

Of course, these Nobel Bauble driven days, “quantum memories” sound like little more than search engine bawdlerised AdWords..
