An interesting Asian counterpart is the Japanese death haiku.

MUMON GENSEN

Died on the twenty-second day of the third month, 1390 at the age of sixty-eight

Life is an ever-rolling wheel

And every day is the right one.

He who recites poems at his death

Adds frost to snow.

Individual games.

The ones that specifically come to mind are Lazavik vs. Carlsen, Speed Chess Championship 2025 Semi-Final, Round 3, and Sindarov vs. Carlsen, Freestyle Chess Grand Slam Finals 2025 in South Africa, Round 1 of the Group Stage Finals.

It feels like the cohort GM player pool is mentally cooked against Magnus.

Youngsters like Lazavik during the Speed Chess Championship or Sindarov in Freestyle were the most recent convincing wins against Magnus, but the historical mental edge that Magnus comes into each game after beating the brakes out of everyone is hard to overcome.

Magnus' time will come! But not today.

Will AI be the basis of many future industrial fortunes, or a net loser?

+1 here.

The last time I checked, they're custom (read: expensive) and require building out your own backend video storage.

Great points. Good founders are on both sides of selling and building. If you don't believe in sellers, you've never worked with good ones.

saucymew — Sat, 01 Mar 2025 21:51:48 +0000

I was seven years old, and T2 was the first rated R film I saw which gave me horrific apocalyptic nightmares (see: Sarah's dream).

Completely worth it.

Everyone's got a number they can't refuse...

Defenders will say Bond deserves a modern update beyond the Daniel Craig era.

But if I'm reading the tea leaves from Lord of the Rings, I am not bullish on Amazon's MCU-ification of the Bond franchise.

Contrarianly, startups should have a little maneuverability to be naughty. Any slight edge against incumbents is directionally sound policy, imho.

New comment by saucymew in "David Lynch has died"

saucymew — Thu, 16 Jan 2025 19:26:23 +0000

Having just read Lynch's Catching Big Fish, two quotes stood out to me:

"There's safety in thinking in a diner. You can have your coffee or your milk shake, and you can go off into strange dark areas, and always come back to the safety of the diner. "

"The light can make all the difference in a film, even in a character. I love seeing people come out of darkness."

What an interesting man. RIP.

Maggie Smith's character in both Abbey and HP brooked no BS. We're reaching the time now when more of the Harry Potter teachers are leaving this world, I am not looking forward to the students.

saucymew — Mon, 22 Jul 2024 21:36:57 +0000

"Poker is a combination of luck and skill. People think mastering the skill is hard, but they're wrong. The trick to poker is mastering the luck. That's philosophy. Understanding luck is philosophy, and there are some people who aren't ever gonna fade it. That's what sets poker apart. And that's what keeps everyone coming back for more." -- Shut Up & Deal

New comment by saucymew in "How Quora died"

saucymew — Sat, 03 Feb 2024 19:09:32 +0000

From personal experience, the main Quora experience is their Digest e-mails; less than a third are relevant topics.

And there are now constant "Edit:" updates on answers addressing the trolls and hateful responses, further dampening my interest in answering questions.

Where have all the internet forums gone?

You bring up good points against the physical medium (especially when it comes to note-taking), but I'd respectfully disagree.

Books I've read multiple times, the great ones, nothing beats a well-made physical edition.

The way light pushes off the pages, that smell...the book changes over time as you read it more. It almost takes on a life of its own with yours. And, if you need to be completely offline or Amazon decides to one day Google-drop your entire online library, that book will still be open to you.

Great work deserves to be supported. Buying a physical copy is my small way to show my support.

New comment by saucymew in "Ossian, the ‘Homer of the North’, the greatest literary hoax (2016)"

saucymew — Thu, 25 Jan 2024 16:52:26 +0000

When Ridley Scott's Napoleon came out, I picked up Napoleon: A Life by Andrew Roberts. Turns out Napoleon kept a copy of Ossian on him at all times during his war campaigns. Going deeper into the rabbit hole, I bought a copy of Ossian.

My pet theory is that he cribbed a lot of inspiration from Ossian for his famous harangues to his army before pivotal moments in battle.

"Farewell, thou bravest of men! Thou conqueror in the field! But the field shall see thee no more; nor the dark wood be lightened with the splendor of thy steel. Thou hast left no son. But the song shall preserve thy name. Future times shall hear of thee; they shall hear of the fallen Morar."

As Will Ferrell said, it gets the people going.

saucymew — Tue, 05 Dec 2023 02:27:20 +0000

Los Angeles

Pros: AFFORDABLE, strong ethnic food centers. Do you want mountains? Yes. Do you want beach? Yes. The working class is diverse. On one freeway, you're looking at rockets, then up north, it's the film industry, and everything in between. Culture is overlooked and underappreciated (see: Getty) compared to other US metro cities.

Cons: Wild EVERYTHING-ELSE living cost structures, chronic homelessness, questionable climate change macro. And oh, wow, a special place for LA drivers.
