With a little luck I'll get ~3 decades more than JvN did, so I have a slim hope that schlep with chutzpah* can make up for lack of brilliance over time!
(that'd be ~8 startups/doctorate programs, so the goods are odd even if the odds are not good)
Should be somewhere in The Origins of Order (as if that narrows anything down!) — keep in mind that I may not even have the original vocab correct, just the basic idea that recombination keeps a population from getting stuck in local minima. (Combined in my head with bacterial taxis: tumble while you're in a food-rich environment, pick a direction if not, and keep straight while gradient is increasing)
BTW I'm innocent of Dune except for hearsay*; given the XXI vibe being what it is, maybe I should remedy that.
As with W40K, I guess I have a "gentleman's knowledge" of the Herbertiverse?
And on the optimal hills: at least we haven't been notified to clear out wine and skis and stock up yet — I was impressed by how efficiently my wife laid up 2 weeks' rations in the "cave" when the italian tourists first brought us Covid, and she asked, what, don't americans learn how to stock their shelter in elementary school too?
Nope, no shortages with the possible exception of N95 masks, briefly:
a) we gave our army the task to procure PPE, as they are the sole national entity which is both in the habit of buying things for millions of people at once, and could negotiate a cash&carry discount in china by sending cargo planes and logistics people to pick them up.
b) a local company bought a chinese mask-making machine with some public support for the gamble; that turned out to have been an out-of-the-money option, but had we needed the capacity, I'm sure that equipment would have been even more thoroughly reverse-engineered than it had been by the time of installation.
c) in between all of this, a few too "enterprising" people were charged for buying up N95 stocks and attempting to scalp them online.
Oh, and there was also a bit of a shortage of morals, as a few people tried to take advantage of various public support programs for enterprises; as far as I can tell although money was helicoptered pretty quickly to where it was needed, the forensic accountants were only a year or two behind to ferret out those marginal cases when it had gone places where it had not actually been needed. (like with no-personnel stores, this is one of the times where a high trust society pays off)
(I was once watching the semifinals of the women's epée nat'l championships, and a former Olympian told me that "B always does the right thing, and that's why she won't win: A knows how to do the wrong thing at the right moment, and that's why she's a champion")
wrt to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42216196 : my impression of non-human violence is that they are better than we at avoiding violence when the power balance is clear; it's mostly with young animals or moments where the status quo threatens to have been merely a stasis quo that application of violence becomes necessary. (compare Cherryh, Foreigner)
That's why I make sure to keep the karma low (but the TP backup outrageous-- ok, pls reserve judgement before I've completely figured out the Miswak or equiv logistics). JK
Keeping the karma low is similar to the peaceful anabaptists' way of being able to up sticks at (nearly) a moment's notice: without contractual ties it's possible to deconflict from a safe distance.
I've only been playing around with free LLMs and GANs for the moment, but they definitely seem to be more on the cargo culting stochastic parrot side, in that (for the former) I can make queries that self-contain all the elements for a sol'n and they don't find it, and (for the latter) they go into the weeds on what I'd think were simple, SHRLDU-level, compositions.
That said, I hadn't expected we'd even get this far so quickly, so ???
Panache sounds good to me; in that case what would a Radler be? (or not-yet-fermented* new wine? Argies, I understand, even drink Calimochos, which sounds to me like something you'd have to grow up with to appreciate?)

Next up: GC via creation and annihilation operators? (in my algebraic view of informatics, one is often either structuring by cleaving two parts to make a whole, or destructuring by cleaving a whole into two parts)
EDIT: and by past-oriented I mean using "was ever" for "eventually" and in the past for "globally", as well as "since" for "until". rotate t by i^2. Eg
dirty := F{edit} U ({save} ∨ {load})
says the local buffer differs from the cloud if there was ever an edit since a save or load.
EDIT 2: ...and I'm pretty sure I can autogenerate code that turns these kinds of def'ns into an imperative event-driven state machine; one can of course come up in theory with formulae that require an arbitrarily complex implementation, but I think in practice most def'ns (especially if we provide backpressure by signalling the complexity of the resulting imp) would be satisfied with simple ones.
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)
Rock-paper-scissors also gives rise to scenes that are bad for naive sorting (for graphics or CAD), where you have three objects such that any two can be sorted in occlusion order, but not all three.
Can we triage our ikigai such that I (sympathising with my machinery) take all your overly-associative structures and you (communing with the universe?) take all my insufficiently-associative structures?
(there are many in maths: eg topologies, being families of sets, can be represented by a particular magma)
Categorically, while different algebraic structures may not be isomorphic, they're likely all capable (under decoration) of carrying the same information.
For instance, in the Boom Hierarchy* (sets,bags,lists,trees) we can represent the information carried by any of the structures by any of the others (exercise!) despite the fact that operations on that information may be made easier or more difficult by the presence or lack of laws (idempotency,commutativity,associativity) that are the linear delta-edges between those types-as-vertices themselves.
[IIRC, magmas would be mobiles, and I'd bet we can extend the above to them as well.]
* I know I repeat these often, but hey, I'm not alone: gopher-the-language was inspired by a "go" lemma-function in someone's sol'n to samefringe.
"likely" is not doing much work for the domain I was thinking of: structures which are suitable for making into collection data structures, in that their carrier sets are infinite because their ops don't lose information about the values (the hyle if not the morphe) given by their arguments.
Of course, absent those restrictions, it's doing way more work than it can possibly handle.
Could be, although I could also imagine the BHA was intending that as a smoke test: if we were to find a putative alien message, we'd want to make sure the same procedure doesn't find other messages in the first N digits of \pi or related constants.
(shouldn't all messages be in \pi sooner or [much, much...] later?)
[does the def'n of "message" include finite length?]
I'd imagine, though, the KST-patched protocol would be to look at how the certain later digits of \pi vary "in realtime" based on where certain earlier digits (of \hbar) tell us to look.. that'd indicate sophisticated control of remote curvature :)

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)

The fox doesn't quite manage to brush his tail over his tracks. What is the finest topology in which the "flunked over a hottie" stories form a convergent sequence?
(Yes. Low-discrepancy sequences are the WP link for "a special random number generator" in /unsort, and I considered that link to also cover quasi-Monte Carlo etc. I'm not immediately sure what you mean by "φ in a circular space" though.)
My bad, I'd just ^F'd with a purely syntactic search on a few terms.
If you can arrange your space from 0,..1 and identify 1 with 0 to make it circular, obviously (consider 1/3, 2/3, etc.) advancing by any amount in ℚ will fail to explore a lot of the space. The flip side of this is that φ, or 1/φ, are the least-ℚ-like regular things in ℝ: if we consider good approximations to be places in the continued fraction where there's a large entry, that never occurs. (their continued fraction representation is repeated 1's)
This comes up with "how do sunflowers know about φ?", the answer to which seems to be: they don't, they're just creating new seeds in the least-correlated place to all the existing seeds, and because of the property above, that tends to result in apparently-spiraling placements which can be fitted with fibonaccis or φs.
That sounds like the perfect swith* for me as well — I'd already been meaning to hide some imperative O(n)s behind functional-seeming O(n log n)s, but if soft heaps have no huge constant involved, maybe no rabbits have to be hidden in hats?
Heh, not that any of us would be willing to tolerate getting stuff back in corrupted order ;)
If the constant factors aren't intolerable, it seems like one really ought to be able to do something with the fact that corruption (galois connection connexion?) only happens in one direction (corruption monad as closure)...
I would, ipso facto(rio), in the hope that some of these corruptions, like Shakespeare's monkeys, would rephrase the muddled messages I get from the aether in something worth remembering for all time..

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”
That's beautiful. It not only gives us a relatively objective measure of genius, but it also explain's my fencing teacher's opinion that the most beautiful move is "feint direct; direct":
- the feint direct shows a touch is possible
- the direct is the easiest possible touch
Of course, that almost never happens. RPF (like TAE) says that if you want to show it's possible, you have to schlep a lot beforehand discovering what's impossible ("you are in a maze of twisty passages, all alike"); Moore's Crossing the Chasm (1991) says that if you want to make it easy, you have to schlep a lot beforehand providing value to people who can make use of your stuff even before it's easy ("You are in a twisty maze of passageways, all different").
I had to have an LLM explain this to me what in the world this comment means, but I take it as a positive. Every day is a school day, and I'm glad I don't need to do two hours of background reading to decode this to my satisfaction.
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 :)
Doesn't pareto-optimality require first agreeing on which cone be the positive one?

[1] let's not even mention the cash-onion that is the restaurant business.
[2] there is a theory that all the working dog breed behaviours can basically be explained by selecting for overexpression of a particular phase of prey drive and underexpression of the rest. I guess Nobel Prizes in Physics grew out of some small ur-mammal wanting to model its meals well enough to figure when it'd zig and when it'd zag, and overexpressing this to the point that humans attempt to model the whole damn universe?
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?
Judging by the fact that we've managed to converse* for over 1Q now, when the generic HN convo intersects at a point, or at most a thread, I'd say we're pretty well aligned (and maybe on a collision course? — maybe approaching vs receding is how one could distinguish alignment from anti-alignment?)
Restaurants shall have to wait for a lull; for now I just wonder if Shnur pays his hosting service or if they (spb tochka ru) pay him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7w2ixHXhSDs
Rorschach zombie? ("I'm not stuck in here defending my thesis to you, you're in here offending my thesis to me!") I'd just meant alu honeycomb and sheer mass as in stiffness techniques for optical tables (tho it appears the resonances mean stiffness/mass matter, not stiffness per se, so granite isn't so good — but maybe granite honeycombs?)
Kip Stephen Thorne. interpretability/identifiability?

On (regrettably still halfass’d) reflection,there are necessary subtleties which your question is stalking but it will take me a few days or weeks to page in
(but now I'm reminded —physics envy, mind you— of a "renormalisation" in regex engines. Recall the definition of A*:
A* == ϵ | A | A*A*
Mathematically, it doesn't make any difference if A also matches epsilon. However, when generating code, if it does, it's very useful to treat the above
as asking for:
A* == ϵ ⨁ A† ⨁ (A*A*)†
where A† recognises only the nondegenerate, "squarefree", portion of A.
Otherwise one risks getting stuck recognising ϵ an infinite number of times (leaving squares in is harmless); anyway the presence of the ϵ means that during* recognition of A*, there is one incoming edge but two outgoing.)
* speaking in terms of left to right traversal, but we can also go right to left, which (by a folk theorem) means we can also calculate bottom up. I'll have to reflect upon what A* might produce, edgewise, in that last case.
Mutual envy hits the sweet spot imho.. to me the (median) Informatiker has superior naming/notation/training. Recall that bit with Moitra et al cutting the Gordian knot of thermalization vs entanglement. (That dude couldnt touch-type to save his bacon, pls forgive the (reverent) gossip)

The binary ops, sequencing and alternation are associative (monoidal).
The unary op, kleene star, blocks reassociation.
However, it is occasionally useful to use the associative-adjacent identity A;A* == A*;A (and more generally, A^n;A* == A*;A^n;A* == A*;A^n == ...)

to the middle class, higher education from a good institution provides skills that ought to prove useful in the future; to the working class, proof of higher education from a good institution is a gate which demonstrates how much free cash flow one's parents had in the past?

Defo. I should skim vN's book today, but a priori I'd say it's a mechanical instance of generators and structures; the more universal the universe of structures, the larger the class of generators. (and on the flip side, all members of the empty set are universal constructors, capable of making any other member)
To make a uC you need a quine and some generators; the galois connexion above ought to pick out the fixpoints/closed sets. (in particular, we're usually interested in cases where the latter are infinite but the former are finite — the XX continuation of angels* dancing on medieval pinheads)
* I guess now we would say they expended a great deal of intellectual energy on attempting to discern if angels had 0, finite, or infinite measure?
EDIT: if you haven't already, consider that quinoids don't have to exactly self-reproduce, don't have to be quines: one can program "objects" that, upon receiving a message, reproduce themselves and all their response methods (essence) — but with a new state (accident).
