I think a better question is of the form "known by Ginsparg?" Conjecture: "no" :)

"aP,aS" is a recipe for achieving an equilibrium of (semipermanent) purgatory . Yet there could be tiny (cross-community, even though not community-wide) pockets of optimism/mutual learning:

Could use better photos for their balloon launches, has backstage access to outdoor events, only a tad identarian etc

How's business at the Daily Sun?

Yeah, it's been a while since I've been to the ham radio club. My station is in parts, the batteries for my HT discharge before I get around to using them but my license is still current... I oughta go. Also the sunspots still look pretty good

so I oughta work the 10m band while I still can.

This spring I was shocked at how bad the pictures students were posting in ℎ , I'm not sure who would be more embarassed if I poked my head in around there. Hackathons are a better outlet because the students think I am slowing them down until somehow they get a minimal viable product out and won a prize and can't understand why. (Plenty of real PMs thought I was slowing them down too and don't know how it was they got a product to market when I was on the team when they were going in circles before)

>embarassed

Like I once managed not to be triggered by ex-VC aebtebeten's routine dismissal of the following thesis the pieces of which I then had to shovel back into the incubator: expert embarassment is a seriously under-investigated vehicle that can't be faked in front of hiring committees (/elite managers/apple-ICs-who-cant-help-but-be-promoted-into-???)..

schlep-tolerance (all sorts of tolerance, sprezzatura, even) can be faked (whether until made or not) these days..

Embarassment.. it's only slightly better than self-deprecatory humor (in that the embarassed party explicitly confesses to (not merely) incomplete sentience, but also inexplicable emotional sequelae etc etc)

Now, who's going to devote decades to perfecting performative embarassment? Only someone you must hire at any cost (?) like.. a Soham Parekh who can explain the meta of what he's doing so you'd pay him to continue the shtick

To the guy out there in the arena: sorry! My anti-anhedonia model needs fine-tuning. It's a lifelong slog..

As it is, I'm embarrassed that this stuff doesn't attract upvotes..
