Toronto, ON – ACX Meetups Everywhere 2021
Note the location has changed to the Bentway, which is underneath the Gardiner Expressway, due to forecasted rain. Despite being underneath a highway, it is still quite easy to have conversations in this setting and it is well ventilated.
I apologize for the last minute change and will send people to Norway Park to collect anyone confused.
Toronto, ON—ACX/SSC/LW Meetup + Book Exchange

[Question] Good books about overcoming coordination problems?

There’s going to be snacks in the form of muffins and some samosas.
Even though it is raining, The Bentway is sheltered so the meetup location is unchanged.
Due to surprise concert, we’ve moved to the roller rink which is quieter https://what3words.com/resold.burn.hitters
I truly do not know. I have many friends (Hazard) and acquaintances (Malcolm Ocean) in those communities and only understand their blog posts and investigations/discussions 20% of the time, but maybe that’s because I’m a stage 4.5 dweller.
Hilariously, this meetup is motivated by the sentiment/discomfort/uncertainty expressed in Ellie Hain’s reply to the tweet you linked:
the problem is though, that the more meta you go, the less concrete solutions you get. A lot of talking but very little doing
Aside: I’ve met Ellie Hain in person and like the School for Social Design, but have yet to find a way to design an approachable meetup around their ideas.
I think David’s primary concern is choosing the goals in “systematically finds a better path to goals” which he wants to name “meta-rationality” for the sake of discussion, but I think could be phrased as part of the rationality process?
I am irrationally/disproportionately insecure about discussing my mediocre/generic goals in a public forum, so I’d rather discuss this in-person at the meetup. :apologetic-emoji
I previously mangled the event time. For the sake of clarity, let me mark it down in this comment so people are notified: Sunday, March 26th from 14:00 to 16:00 EST
Toronto, Ontario, Canada – ACX Meetups Everywhere Spring 2023
FYI, Terraform Industries published a new blog post about the cost of their hydrogen electrolysis, which is significantly less than you’re linked estimate of around $7/kg. They claim they can get $3/kg using current legacy solar, but with current solar cost trends continuing (which I know you’re skeptical of) could reach $1.12/kg. They accomplish this by optimizing the cost/efficiency trade-off of the electrolysis setup.
I’m assuming Casey Handmer is being overly optimistic, but I can’t tell by how much.
Feedback
In the “Preprint” example, you use
@wrapswithout explaining it. I think it’s worth noting it is imported fromfunctoolsand it’s general purpose?The section “Branching without if” is a bit confusing, because it is unclear if those examples work or need more code.
Discussion
This might be out of scope of the mentorship, but I’d like gilch’s opinion/heuristics on:
Good decorator use vs. abuse
The argument “Python would not need decorators if it supported multi-line anonymous functions”
