The whole sci-fi short story and movie Arrival is based on this concept

This!

I want my kids to do the same but are really unclear as to how this is done today without BASIC. I am not psyched about tools that help you merely build platformers with WYSIWYG.

Any ideas?

Welcome giant sweeping generalizations that are unsupported by data nor stringent arguments.

It does not bother me that the Money and Shopping sections of CNN are run with content by another firm that specializes in interest based articles while the core of CNN remains focused on world news.

When you show the distribution at the end, it'd be cool to be able to select my own threshold not based on the test results but my reaction in the moment to the color palette. I found that the distribution did not line up with where I'd draw the line.

Pandora, Pandora, Pandora. No other service for me worked to reveal new songs and artists I did not know about that nailed my taste. But Pandora relies on manual tagging by music experts. Fantastic, but probably not very scalable.

Importantly, Liu’s books basically abandon the very same idea in the second and third books of the series (aliens that very actively battle across the galaxy and have many many opportunities to interact, which kind of undermines the premises of the dark forest argument)

From a newbie here, Aside from the one (and sufficient) self referential formula, have we come up with other examples of non decidable propositions that are meaningful?

AWS was first to market for many years, and their margins were always higher than ecommerce retail (and that's easy to believe, since retail often runs on 1% margins)

If you read the other essays he also says you do things manually as the founder first to learn the specifics that matter but then you scale it (typically by hiring someone, or via code) when you have learned very well how it should scale.
