There's Tracey Davis ambitious, there's Draco Malfoy ambitious, and then there's Harry James Potter-Evans-Verres ambitious. The top end of the scale isn't "start an new OS business", it's things like molecular nanotechnology or self-improving artificial intelligence.
- geoffw8 15y agoErrr, sure.
- irahul 15y ago> "start an new OS business" Is that "an new" an error or some obscure rule I don't know about.
- StavrosK 15y agoHe wrote the "new" afterwards.
- patrickas 15y agoSpeaking of Harry James Potter-Evans-Verres, come on! It's been almost two months! I need my HPMoR fix ;-)
- leilavc 15y agoAm I the only person who feels a bit sorry/annoyed every time Eliezer gets harassed about updating HPMOR? It's his project, people, he'll update when he wants to.
- patrickas 15y agoIt was supposed to be totally tongue in cheek with a wink and smiley to make it obvious. I suppose that is still harassment. I am sorry.
- T_S_ 15y agoAmbition metrics seem to be evolving. Whatever happened to Victor Frankenstein ambitious? Or Craig Venter ambitious? Has creating new life become less ambitious since the story of DNA was unravelled? Turns out there are arithmetic problems that are harder that these things. I have seen enough CRM projects fail to consider them to be hard. For all we know consumer-side CRM might be really hard. After all, it involves human relations. Perhaps someone will come along one day and prove that creating the perfect CRM system involves solving a really hard arithmetic problem.
