"If a book has been in print for forty years, I can expect it to be in print for another forty years. But, and that is the main difference, if it survives another decade, then it will be expected to be in print another fifty years. This, simply, as a rule, tells you why things that have been around for a long time are not "aging" like persons, but "aging" in reverse. Every year that passes without extinction doubles the additional life expectancy. This is an indicator of some robustness. The robustness of an item is proportional to its life"

Exceptionally fun essay today about the botanist who’s attempting to rediscover forgotten species of coffee (beyond robusta and arabica) including ‘Coffea stenophylla’ https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/how-forgotten-bean-could-save-coffee-from-extinction-180986230/

After reading @davidzmorris ‘s lovely Substack—on AGI as messianic snakeoil—I can’t help but notice the resonance of ‘Claude’ and ‘God’ If Samuel Beckett called it ‘Waiting for Claude’ the title would have been too on the nose. https://open.substack.com/pub/davidzmorris/p/trump-dump-stumps-chumps?r=j2r&utm_medium=ios
