Fantastic. It’s seemed to me for awhile now that the stuff that people are actually talking about in-person (e.g. at CFAR workshops) has far outstripped the pace of what’s publicly available in blog post format and I’m really happy to see progress on that front.
For what such claims are worth, I don’t think this has happened to me yet, but I think I’ve gotten near enough to it that I believe it exists.
It is fairly effortful to write about because it is higher dimensional than the connotation space of words that you need to use to describe it. So you wind up having to halt every few sentences to say things in more ways in order to hopefully get your audience to triangulate on the correct thing. And it only sort of works.

Agreed, regarding CFAR stuff.
And Qiaochu, even if you haven’t experienced this yet, I believe you are or have gotten closer than most.
