Tiny nitpick: Benjamin certainly would not want to become a sociopath, but the incumbent sociopaths would doubtlessly love to promote him into their ranks, surreptitiously. Confidence in the power of power to corrupt! (Usually misplaced, thankfully, despite media)

EDIT: I dont think this is comparable to Steve Jobs’ 100-Person Retreat without more insider data, e.g.,

Would be interested to know if anybody got promoted as a result of these retreats, my hunch is, no, because everybody knows about the 100-person retreat.

The proximate cause of getting d-v*t’d (or fl****d, or not getting u-v’d even??) in an Apolline chatroom. E.g by forming complete sentences in Lx or Dx, where x>1.62 & D=Domain of “expertise”

Purported sophistry or use of PhrenoloGical instruments to dichotomize founder candidates.

Vapid curiosity: Ben Toner, a researcher in GrIneqs, seems to be a sibling of Helen… peripheral examples of failed attempts at goodfaith sprezzatura?

Place-holder:

River of child-shamans vs hemitheutic (Agnes Dei) koinonia (in the context of Ruth) vs goodfaith sprezzatura vs interactive proof (with a canonical role for the sheep in the antimatroidal frame [0-1])

Thanks to Rao i’m now skeptical of dichotomies as well as direct sums of them. Nevertheless I dont think the social path looks (except superficially) like competition, what you want (individual , or small groups of) scientists to do , is to model other neighboring entities well enough to avoid ret(h)reading the same grooves. Max/min the exploration/resource-usage. “Waste is inevitable. Rivalry (conflict?) is optional”

Place holders for ram refresh… AAAND we’re back!

Prowess. 2 tangential thoughts that you might be able to bring back into the fold.

A: that snowclone from Thucydides sounded familiar, but what I really recall was Brasidas’ un-spartan virtues. I cant find my notes, maybe you can XD. Did he out-Athenate the Athenians? Afairc those unspartan virtues didnt travel well in Sparta even after his death-by-victory.

B: Rao’s hackstability, transmuting sprezzatura into samsara, if not erloesung. Morlocks -> Hacker, Eloi -> the Machine (think temple of Moloch in Metropolis; Mittler ~ James Scott’s metis?

https://archive.ph/hrdIL

What about the trifecta in Russell’s taxonomy? I’d guess PG et al (Type IIIs) bet on it, but having not read Rao’s Gervais Principle, they had to empirically derive the managerial revolutionistas inserting themselves between the Type Is (where matter = customers as well as cash/the lower levels of the infra) and the Type II “system designers” aka “founders”. The new insight (relative to GP) seems to consist of previously repressed kinship bonds between the founder and the infra. (At this junction I tend to revisit my thoughts about p2p child rearing in the kibbutz)

Now.. back to why prowess is deprioritized in uh silo’d hacker “spaces”.. i’m guessing its hard to converge on a shared metric of prowess across hacker subdomains. Other signals, e.g. lieblingshunde can be more reliable. Post coarsegraining we identify Stanley, but in his day the Londoners, what did they think? Why did his brother support Warbeck??? Further riffing on microlocal banks managing the exchange rate (of talent) based on perhacker PPP (“proven prowess parity”) to be called for…

[1,5]Hmm de wiki for Biche says it was an austrian patrol. She was real family! Proof of fortune. The proof-by-lieblingshund would be legal tender on Sand Hill Rd. Not so much proof-by-sansoucci.

“Simulation n its discontents” should be paid close attention, with Freud/Oedipus in the background?

[EDIT] easier for me to sympathize with Hacker > book Jeeves > tv Jeeves. The dot product.. might not be real..

Have definitely also run into the “seasonal farmboy-wranglers” in the Appalachian slopes, but uh i think since the crowd was demographically narrower/less touristy/the local culture more laidback not much wrangling took place.. or rather there was a lot more fiddling with the machines rather than people.

Sorry to disappoint if you didnt already guess i picked that up from you. However, its probably not a spelling i would practise elsewhere — too memorable.

[Dont know where the grand old man anigbrowl is on the SV centric political spectrum]

Before you get too annoyed, remember that these 2 (Greer & Farrell) are right of the SV centre. Their analyses would be about as accurate as left-of-SV-centre critiques like Barbrook’s.

I have read about 14% of the canon, and almost all of them honour the (certified sprezzatura-free) elbow grease. PG popularized “schlep” amongst the Sand Hill goyim, after all?

Here’s a post from someone in the centre that was reposted in the last 12hrs, i briefly went over it, and indeed there is a whole lot of coverage on the nuance of “schlep”. Feel free to apply the same analysis. :)

i seriously doubt anyone has figured out to study how coarse grained institutions should behave, if no professional has even thought of seriously applying expanders to study how they already behave..

You are probably right.

However, if your issues are tied to local characteristics, then (in maybe an abstract way) you still have another fundamental obstacle to scalability, not related to compensation..

(FWIW i think an interesting related question is whether YC might be able to scale outside SF if they werent so into the slogan “do things that dont scale” — which i sometimes interpret as the viridical paradox “scale by not scaling”)

OP was quoting wikipedia which also says that business+chief+employees were transferred to a new company Shin-Kongo (ie “New Kongo”).

So it depends on what you mean by “they”, the company with the old name Kongo Gumi is no longer in construction, but otherwise the company with the new name Shin Kongo is, as a subsidiary of another conglomerate.

Bloomberg also had an article https://archive.is/rLnnH

A comment below suggests that they have a hard time recruiting engineers, but I believe also experts and talent in general..

There’s then also something deeper about making the trade-off between growth(rate) and stability..

OTOH photographer coops are quite common, here is a famous one https://en.wikipedia.com/wiki/Magnum_Photos

Its not that much of an exaggeration if you consider that the original Construction purpose is gone. E.g. Ford no longer making cars but still trading shares of Car companies would not be itself considered a continuation of Henry Ford’s original setup.

I could go on about what the long term solution is but who wants to hear rants from a kiddo ;)

You already related the “(open)loop quantization” in LQG to EPR=ER above, similar concept occurs in string theory too, almost unknown because its so foundational, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Born–Infeld_model, near the end, as well as some of the references there that discuss gravity.

“Creating” is a vague(r) term, do you mean “quantization”? Afaik the open-loop geometry of fermions is something any quantization scheme has to start with, the details are how one includes gravity, so without more details, one wouldnt be able to tell how LQG is different from string theory :)

My understanding is that this is the way fermions are treated in any modern theory of quantum gravity, and not specific to LQG?

[Swiss hydrogen storage using iron as catalyst keeping kosher, but that stainless steel tank isnt lol]

Alternatively formulated, this suggests that an entangled state, if weakly coupled to a bath at high temperature and allowed to thermalize, will become fully disentangled at a finite time. (p1)

hinting that something different is happening here (from the C&L model mentioned below.)

Indeed the CS guys are probably looking for a way to redefine entanglement (entropy, as you summarized above), to essentially “work” in the same way as what they have in their preprint, but also cover the prethermalized cases..

[Will reply to the other one abt soph after i get more b/w myself]

Well, if your not being facetious— you should be familiar with the recurring institutional failures in the old country? MGM, Leggett, Geroch might have been fine in their salad days but as they got on, nothing really diffused to their squads.. As it is, Ole Peters is having difficulties defending himself against serious charges (from the orthodox econs) of unfamiliarity with Jensen’s inequality..

The TCS horde is routinely cleaning out the institutionalized physicists these days, from what i can see its due to effective horizontal virtue transfers from the european/pure math community. Wont be long before the econs suffer the same, seems like they are walled up in the same old way.

it does look like UK physics education today is in pretty ok shape compared to the others. i will assume from now on that the Research Institute (featured in the amazon adaptation) was created by american refugees.

Pardon the interruption of riverian activities, also i understand the b/w concern, yet this is kinda impt (so will repeat later)

[One might have to selectively apply MGM amnesia to MGM’s own teachings.. ]

Aaronson-Carroll’s quest (and indeed Kolmogorov, Prigogine, AND MGM’s ultimate quest (ergodicity econ))

  is to move BEYOND what you just quoted of MGM.

(So that old teaching which you had for decades kept in cache is an instance of MGM being correct in a boring way)
