Why do you need to “renew” the prescription if your glasses give you 20/20 already?

Moonlight Sonata is a good example of how you can be "brain-limited" in learning a piece, rather than limited by technique and finger dexterity. Moonlight is very easy on the fingers. But the constant variations are a challenge f

And how will you decode it?
974.
by khazhoux 3y ago
Yes, and if you gzip it it's even smaller. But the big takeaway is that the amount of info that fully defines a human, is what we consider "not much data," even in its plainest encoding.

It's just about 3 gigabytes (each byte a letter). Pretty mind-blowing, if you ask me.

I’d love to see a similar analysis for non-founders. I.e., the other N-2 people at the startup. Like, how many hundred-millions or even billions will exit have to be before you get $500k as the Nth employee of a typical Series A/B&#x
