I once encountered a false sharing issue where simply adding _unused_ code (e.g. a=5) to a script that calls my C++ made the bug go away. This unused code shifted the memory such that the data was no longer at the cache line boundary :')

It seems to me that it's both value and hype, then. Whether valuations are insane, probably?, but there's certainly an actual big tech impact as well. Whereas NFTs are... maybe theoretically valuable, but I can't tell you what value they're actually providing rn

How so? His companies have delivered products that were new, innovative, highly valuable and very hard to accomplish. It's more than speculation

Interesting, I wouldn't have guessed you'd be on the left side of the chart based on my reading of your posts

Oh it's gonna be in Vancouver! Awesome

Actually, that sounds very similar to the concept of figure and background in Gödel, Escher, Bach 😄

Also, is the negation operator even universal? What happens if you apply it to an idea with a more neutral connotation (e.g. tree). I guess you get the whole set of ideas that are not trees?

There is, however, a set of moves in the idea space to go from one to another. Disease - harm + benefit = gut microbiome. I guess we're negating an idea adjacent to disease (harm) and combining the two.

Great article!

Do you think it's actually fair to say, though, that the negation operator is what transforms disease to "good disease"? E.g. we don't consider gut microbiome to be a good disease, but rather a symbiotic relationship.
