Not sure when i’ll get there praying for a serendipitous intersection of cargoculting nonsssociativity and diagram spelunking (aided by your hints, half-remember’d)
Although… i confess to doing the trivial thing of drawing the “cayley graph” of {rock,paper,scissors} and observing that it looks like a loopfree 3-vertex term (1 outgoing)
KST blackhole that he is, might be only approximating his inner state as Killer for better transmission.. recall that he was highly involved in Interstellar, had he been involved in Oppenheimer Bohr might have posed “can you smell the magic” to Oppie instead, dragging Nolan out of the unnecessary composer envy
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”
I do respectfully interpret {pg,tlb,rtm} as preferring to become genius hunters that fail well to remaining grad students that succeed badly..
(Thanks for reminding me of the cases of Niedermeyer and Takesaki, more appropriate to remember as them grad students rather than geniuses?)
Albeit the more apt metaproblem would be the one of enabling these “grad students” to hunt “genius projects” in teams. not sure if YC itself was meant to be this kind of genius project— i cant tell if that project proved its salt by seducing the {OGs} with a barrage of noble, monastic yet fecund suffering… perhaps not, since they kinda moved on to comfortable spiessig lives (as have their successors, mostly)
::::
vM (good or bad faith?) sidestepped the “Rao Normalization” issue by citing only nonSTEM “geniuses”, YC embraced 2 rounds of “Rao Normalization”: “finding our ikigai by hiring G/GS to find what pple want”
“All preferences are subjective but some ikigais locally align (or at least have positive inner product*)”
?
In yet further words, Each of us would like to find our ikigai-trading neighbors so as to figure out the pareto-optimal way to move forward in cluster[-fuck]s [for that profane diversity-curious outsider take]
*i see that theHeisenberg uncertainty principle was codependency injected[0] into section 5[1] — a negative example of the very point?
It would appear that our cones align well enough to keep the intersection positive (the conversation semiprocrastinative)
I shant say that artbasel doesnt exist. Shall we align yet more finely to note that the various subtypes of the highest level “markets” serve to distort the market so as to stay (mildly) (dys)functional? A taxonomy of the various markets for lemons/_lemons is in order? Restnt biz is further enough off the manifold that i might not find it that interesting, convince me.
>honeycomb… sheer mass
It might be nice to expand on what senses of these words are alluded here.. “honeycombs“ are nice skeletons that (math)phykers found they cud feed into the vN (inker) blackbox & get out some interpretable Rorschach zombies. (Plausibly) Marketable Schlep to put off the potentially ikigai busting hard thinking ?
[2] coevolution? The mainstream, prodded by NPs, might evolve towards dropping the interpretability/identifiability reqs?
I submit that what pple should focus in trading are ikigais… (although i suspect Pareto could have hidden a hint or two. — here , i have a set of locally pareto-optimal short term life goals, how to make a market?)
(Previously i had wanted to trade experts’ (meta)underwear, but that turned out more to be like the market for million-dollar abstract art which nobody has seen in person! The seller of ikigais, otoh, has almost certainly a glimpse at the very least — Citoyen, dissect his favorite joke!)
EDIT: do. Not. Trust a physicist who tells you that the calculation (or optics alignment) was fun. However. Trust a mathematician (or economist) who happily flips burgers to support their habit. Informatiker/logician: depends on how alexithymic they are, the correlation may surprise you :)
Update: eg Kip Thorne highlighted the joy of having detractors eat crow. Thankfully did not pass on the bag of having “his intuition shredded” or “trying his best to stay away from being bored” or some such inanity :)
the offerings at kokoko.spb.ru, how they triage the (upper mid to top) market!
1. Slavophile, past (god save the tsar!)
2. Laptop class, cosmopolitan future (tomorrow the universe!) Here be tropical dragons..
3. “Car dealer” class gastropub, present (dont worry abt that hangover)
In liberal democracies there tends to be no gap between 1,2,..(or 1,3) thank Bibendum??
I think i’ve a reasonably good handle on other-people’s-ikigai.. a shared meal or 2 can lead to some confidence intervals on their future returns — measured in ikigai!
Ikigai trading, otoh, a very delicate matter..
Edit: possible to trisect hn based on how adversarial the relationship to those who pay is ( no tops, but plenty of semiretirees in the uppest house)
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”
