The AI industry is monofocused on difficulty over utility. The NS problem is hard, but it is also useful if solved in a way that it illuminates a lot of areas of math, gives us new techniques etc.

Brute forcing a counter solve has not really changed the game as much.

Big big fan of LTSE; The core tension I point out is simply that the epistemic crux of TLS -- short term validation -- is a poor proxy for the core risks in frontier companies. The cultural result of that is most people refuse to start long term companies since there is no short term way to validate the demand, which may in turn reduce demand for the LTSE itself :)

Looking forward to reading Incorruptible.

The lean startup methodology is fundamentally antithetical to companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Antares, etc.

How do you resolve the difference between the short term nature of the lean startup, and the long term optimistic nature of LTSE?

Bonus points if you've had to titrate a CPAP before

Totally agree - most of these co's that get funded are pointless. FWIW, the general math here is that you'd spend < 2-3mm developing new git and most of the money goes into distribution.

We've strayed really far from where technical innovation began

UARS = upper airway resistance syndrome RERA = respiratory effort related arousal

UARS is effectively a "cousin" of sleep apnea which tends to occur in younger and fitter people - it is hard to diagnose but quite debilitating. RERAs are the primary sleep disturbing event for folks with UARS. Similar to how apneas are the primary event for folks with sleep apnea.

Hello! I am one of three working on a new treatment for sensitive sleep apnea patients / UARS Patients. We'd love to hear about your experience with trad CPAP and OSA.

This Or "Learning Curve Pricing" which dominated the outcomes of early SV.
