No. No no no no. Chinggis Khan‘s success was not due to climatic variability. He was exceptional among steppe warlords because he was an exceptional *social* engineer.

Today's AI hunts and feasts upon the Mozarts, Einsteins, and Shakespeares of our age. To birth a gang of ghostly geniuses that write our code, drive our cars, do our work, and run our world.

Multi-Paradigm Design for C++Their words
Multi-Paradigm Design for C++ by James O. Coplien. Twenty years after reading this, the core techniques are still with me. These are commonality analysis, where the purpose is to identify families of systems, and variability analysis, which focuses on capturing the domain parameters that vary. In essence: the foundation of great software design.

I think you have to have that type of competitive feedback. It is tough to know if you're exceptional um without having some legible competitive game.

the heat of the 1930s was a regional event, due to a combination of unforced variability and human activities (poor agricultural land management).

the research on photographic memory does show that even people who have very strong visual memory will make memory errors. So it's not that you know it's exactly photographic but their visual memory is exceptional.

Zig is exceptional software: ambitious, practical, independent, and unusually serious about quality. Ghostty exists in large part because Zig made it possible for me to build the kind of software I wanted to build. This is why I support Zig.

You cannot be an exceptional game designer without playing enormously, and a bad game teaches as much as a great one.Their words
And the weirdest part about it is you’re not just looking for the greatest hits. You learn just as much from a shitty game that you do from an amazing game.

From one piece Jack Weatherford: Genghis Khan and the Mongol Empire | Lex Fridman Podcast #476 3 beliefs, in the piece's order there

Their words
We really don't have any well-documented case of anybody, say, from China visiting Europe or Europe visiting China before the Mongols. But since Chinggis Khan, there's never been a year without contact between east and west. It was permanent. Once he created it, it was permanent.

Their words
And that the Mongol Empire was really the first modern empire in the way that I'm putting together that story. And Chinggis Khan was the genius behind that, who created this idea that there could be one world in which there would be one set of supreme law, but all people could follow their own law.

Their words
Later, Genghis Khan will realize once he becomes Chinggis Khan, he will realize that the true source of most of the feuding on the steppe is over women. And later he will outlaw the kidnapping of women and the sale of women, in part not only because of what had happened to his mother, but what happened to him next in his life.

Their words
Sometimes designers will go to great lengths to make a user interface novel, or minimal, or simple. This is the wrong goal. Novelty, minimalism or simplicity are good heuristics for obviousness, but do not mistake the means for the end.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
