@ars think this has a bearing on your quest to understand/improve MedTech capital allocation. Capital allocation gets better when one can effectively filter for cases that are non-BS compressions?
Additional speculation re: people that get pitched a case. Their ability to discern a BS vs a non-BS case is dependent on their ability to detect an actual compression (e.g. derived from domain expertise) vs a pseudo-compression (e.g. leans on a timely trend alone). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Bullshit

grapplingIndeed. About as close a vibe to my ideal spirit of BJJ as there is.
grapplingIt does. ~20 years since publish date, so not sure how it will have aged given recent happenings with AI and cognition though.
Books😂 increasingly looking like I’ll end up digging into your becoming data-driven series. Related: been reading about effectuation (theory of entrepreneurial expertise) and wondering whether 0th step vs steps 1-4 are what separate entrepreneurship and professional management. https://effectuation.org/effectuation-101
Third, read about gravity and black hole mechanics in Galileo Unbound. https://galileo-unbound.blog/books-by-d-d-nolte/

BooksTraining log, gi: worked on the reverse pass from half guard and some progressions to side control, mount etc. Sparring was last session prior to a weekend comp, so tried to up intensity and push pace whilst remaining precise/efficient. That was, uh, hard.

BooksI get up early; no kids (not counting two Daschunds); don't really watch TV; plus, reading is solace time before I let the world in :D
Books#70: Erikson's Deadhouse Gates, book two in the Malazan Book of the Fallen. So. Damn. Good. Even on my fourth (perhaps fifth?) encounter. Read the MBOTF, I beg you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadhouse_Gates
Books#69: The seminal Godel, Escher, Bach by Douglas Hofstadter. Easy to see how this nerd-sniped a lot of people and steered the intelligence dialogue entire. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gödel,_Escher,_Bach
Books#68: Dennis P. Waters' Behaviour and Culture in One Dimension. Oooo, a fun read, especially as I was eyeing up the analog-continuous interface. Led me to think about product lines, too. https://1dimensional.com https://swellandcut.com/product-lines/
Books#67: Lewis and Zak's Essential Discrete Mathematics for Computer Science. A succinct and high utility primer that'll no doubt be a reference in the future. https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691179292/essential-discrete-mathematics-for-computer-science
Books#66: Fool's Fate, the close to Hobb's Tawny Man trilogy. Quite pathos ridden, both narratively and b/c it's the final entry in a series I really enjoyed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fool%27s_Fate
