gradschoolfail··on Solving the Maker-Taker Problem
CC Veblens alma mater, here CU.

Table 3, (basic,infra)hardware+software in quadrant “club goods”, solved except in minds of some recalcitrant VCs, contentious is the diametrically opposite one.

To riff on the risque, I advertise

[if forex, SPJ is allowed these days to be remembered for idealizing the shitting of pants..]

  the idea of experts’ pants as a a commodity to die metaphorically for
(With the caveat that some might enjoy seeing instead what the experts are hiding when the tide [of fashion] goes out)

(& one can e.g. with this explain, with mauvaise foi, Hipour’s smile)

It does, but imho the interesting part is the usage divergence , mosquito (midge?) vs fly (dialectal vs std german)

Thx for the raiding article, all the forexes in one place :)

And dont forget the (old) florentine skyscrapers, derived from germanic feuds? (G+G)

I guessed when psmiths mentioned Arcadia, they were thinking of the Illyrians.. for the Greeks before PII were a thalassocracy/machy

[can we compare sarissa to Swiss pike]

And then there were the Habsburgs..

In your locality, are there no (nonplains-derived, eg not Monts+Caps of Ephesus) fairy tales of dynastic feuds? Valleys have always been fertile, livestock abundant ( so that driving term high enough to avert fratricide/eternal war with the eastern barbarians)? Northern thais didnt discover grazing/lactose until 1970s, and then ofc appalachia/scottish notterriblelands

Rainmaker is the short story that Coppola rec’d above, it appears as an Appendix in The Glassbeadgame
gradschoolfail··on Megalopolis is baffling and plainly nuts but worth it
What do you make of the contrapuntal story Rainmaker? Is it more than a story of Sith masters amd apprentices?

[or a matriarchal order (Bene Gesserit?) vs Sith knights/knaves]

I had a vision of the future days, One without golden bouoys or silk-clad popes; Where all the might of consumers harnessed, For health of earth and all the god’s creatures. Without irony the downtrickle shall, be Fully potable.

Ah i didnt see that JCB and got it flipped again (and misspelled as a bonus) — had better do this after a long walk (or sleep)

Ps that was a helpful blogpost, as well as a very concrete wiki eg!

Thanks for distilling A&R: f(o)rex “thinking” and “writing” can be quite labor-intensive, but we’d like to have finer distinctions between the types — what kinds “should” be added vs replaced.. so we should also pay attention to exchange rates??

(as a first guess, optimizing shiny vs essential — “form follows function” for reverence [why dont hackernewsies revere brutalism?] — for bosons, fermions & everything in between)

If mathgenius is to be believed, decategorization is about paying attention to the map from apples to oranges..

riffing on that, designori will try to unify the shiny and the essential.. and though John “Designor” Henrys are memorialized, nobody sane would want to be John Henry …

question: how would “the central bank” help?

Unscheduled saturation of b/w this week so i shant be able to get to deeper [QEDITS1|2:]for a while.

Yes. And communism — esp. the secrecy aspect, in relation to YC/SIGINT.. “waste is inevitable but rivalry is optional” {waste->pleasure,rivalry->reward} in same snowclone, so… universalism, too. And organized skepticism (like those paradoxical games where victory is uncorrelated with effort,motivation,or intent; Simplicitas’ dual, sprezzatura misses the point)

Wont be surprised if Nikolai Feodorovich turns out to have been a crypto-raskolnik all along

>Fyodorov opposed the idea of property of books and ideas and never published anything during his lifetime.

Right. Pietists would not be classified as weird in the Rao taxonomy, so radical pietists sounds just like hypernormal. So who indeed are the proweird antimeritocrats? Practical (entheogenic,texting) sufi-taoists? Such that friendly neighborhood incomprehensibility is very much an organization feature?

gradschoolfail··on Rural Americans are dying younger, living less healthy lives, report reveals
TIL Pietism, the common backdrop of both Veblen, Hesse, and a vast swath of rural america.

See also Merton Thesis,Mertonian Norms (dont know if that ever inspired sci-fi?)

「Becker 1992」

Question: are the Mertonian norms fundamentally inhospitable to meritocracy, so that they may yet serve as a viable target for the transmogrification of socalled antiintellualism?

>the scientific ethos does not have [its] theoreticians… but it has [its] [designori]

gradschoolfail··on The Eleven Laws of Showrunning [pdf]
I wasnt sure if you’d agree with me that the ideology of meritocracy is at the heart of the issue.. K-H management may be the thread unifying Veblen vs Romer, but i dont think either has really nailed the (Midwestern postNietzsche “ascetic protestantism”) SIGINT aspect behind it all (veblen has stalked it with the evolutionary instincts tho, same for Orwell in 1984?)

(Thats how we get distracted from discussion of designori,strategy,tactics,DDJ,shamans?)

Lmk of any specific questions you might have

[PG is interesting as lowland scottish SIGINT is surprisingly far from the “norwegian” style of “rational inattention”, IMHO, with regards to secrecy esp.]

[one observes, not tangentially, of Veblen’s meandering elocution vs PG’s plain prose]

According to JCB?

you might be more interested in torsion, though..

Ps: i think edwardian eras are a transitional period where, to stand apart from the previous era fetishizing wisdom (& the payment of dues), intellectuals began to focus their attention on the (often full of youth & signaling sprezzatura) acolytes of truth (& no taxes)

gradschoolfail··on Operator algebras and the substructure of space and time
Can someone tell me why quantmag’s coverage of these algebras is so different from

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Neumann_algebra#Factors ?

Wikipedia calls them by a different name! As for history, Tomita is said to be the most important guy* behind the elucidation of Type III but gets no credit…

Feels like this is a classic case of blind men and elephant

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomita–Takesaki_theory

>These were further developed later by Takesaki, and the theory is called the Tomita–Takesaki theory. It has great influence in statistical mechanics too. That was the beginning part, but in Tomita’s papers, he didn’t write proofs. I: Mathematicians usually like proofs. Is Tomita a mathematician? A: [Minoru] Tomita is a pure mathematician. There are a lot of algebraists in Japan, including [Masamichi] Takesaki, but Tomita is a completely different kind of person, very “singular”.
