Oh they gave you a pike? Yeah man that’s cool. Cool. Oh this? Yeah it’s my halberd. They decided I was halberd material I guess. But hey pikes are cool! You pike guys are the foundation you know?
i think this is gonna be an underrated drop (despite axiom's social team clearly trying to giga boost it today). good evidence that there's not really a scale ceiling to autoformalization -> everything that can be formalized (much more than just math) will be

loud 996 people are directionally the same as wifeguys if you know what i mean
Revolut founder Nik Storonsky says working weekends is essential to survive, calling it "purely statistical"
"So China is 996. And then even if you are good in Europe or even if you are good in US, how can you outcompete people who work nine to nine, 6 days a week?"
"When I started in the startup space, there were 140 companies. Within five years, only three companies survived. They all worked on weekends."
"Within 10 years, only 2 companies survived out of 140. So I think work on weekends is a must if you want to survive. Purely statistical."
"Out of all European companies, we're probably one of the hardest working, and I think we're also one of the hardest working companies if you include US as well."
it freaks me out that we have HD satellite images of places where the inhabitants are pretty much all subsistence farmers that have only recently come into contact with modernity. the future is more unevenly distributed than you think

the reason moby-dick remains such a vital piece of human art is that it addresses what is probably one of humanity's greatest collective atrocities, the genocide of the whales, with an ambivalence it cannot itself fully articulate. melville is distraught, but he can't explain why
