The synchronization tax is the price of building the bridge. Maintenance is the price of keeping the bridge standing. Transmission is the price of crossing it.

I really know almost nothing about complex analysis, but this sure feels like what physicists call observational entropy applied to mathematics: what counts as "order" in ℂ depends on the resolution of your observational apparatus

Neat result. The symmetry exploitation here reminds me of recent work connecting neural network training dynamics to renormalization group theory. Charles Martin's SETOL paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.17912 show

Not an expert in neurobiology, but... heck this is Hacker News: Let's assume that the brain implements a renormalization group flow in a way similar to transformers, as described here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.17

Patent rights exist to solve a fundamental economic problem: Inventors need incentives to innovate, but after revealing an invention, others can copy freely. The patent system grants limited monopolies to inventors in exchange for public di

What ways? I'm curious. Have you written anything about this? I'd be interested in reading more of what you see as possible. If we think about stability from first principles, then when you're talking about aggregating up bil

I agree with your first and second sentences completely -- but as to the "holy grail"... Isn't Bitcoin (or Ethereum, or Solana, or whatever your L1 favorite is) itself the "internet-native stable coin" we want, exce

Suppose we could wave a magic wand and require that some fixed percentage (or more) of every corporation had to be owned by employees. Would that help resolve the problem? Suppose further that corporate managers were prohibited from making

I think I basically agree with this perspective, but I might try to add some nuance. As organizations become larger, there is a tendency for them to become less and less efficient. This seems to be linked to the second law of thermodynamics

This is my hope too. But we need government to improve in its efficiency along with the small groups that can leverage AI into providing more of what government wants. I have some personal experience here. Local political action has never b

I agree that global communication technology has been part of what has shifted the balance from small to large. But there's still a fundamental tension between where people live and who they can communicate with. I may form a startup w
