Rick brought Claudia Cardona -- his wife. Beautiful and delightful. We enjoyed chatting with her. She went off to Marshalls and we went over a few things with Rick.
have not read any today. About forty pages to go. Fictional history, historical fiction. Documentary drama. I'm so unused to reading this kind of novel of late.
Rick gave me an A for my computer skills, navigating the document box, dropping in files from tiaa. Yay. Made my earlier school anxiety dreams worthwhile, I guess. I enjoyed the fact that he really enjoyed the embue ceremonial cacao and took home the bag I gave him. He told us about his wandering around Argentina and Patagonia and Chile when he was 24. Ended up with a group of nine travelers from all over. One of them became a famous mathematician who just went through a big crisis with the founder of ChatGPT. The AI system tried to steal the guy's solution to a huge math problem.
Rick was in Argentina in 2008 when he was twenty-four. Two years after college at UVA. Now he's 44. Looked up some records about his grandmother, in her will she left her one cow to her free slave, provided he stay on the property with it. The huge shift in personal wealth over the past hundred years. We are part of an experimental generation in the history of wealth management. No one knows if it will last, how it will evolve. Rick loves reading about all of it.
here it is---popped right up in easy search -- "But hours before OpenAI’s formal announcement came an explosive claim from the NYU mathematician Tristan Buckmaster, who had been working on the problem for years before OpenAI got involved, and was close to publishing his own solution. " memorable name---Tristan Buckmaster,
yes, I haven't decided yet what to make of "Havelock Titus. had to check because I was going to say Havelock Ellis---is that the source of the name? of course--why not? "Havelock Ellis (1859–1939) was an English physician and pioneer sexologist who co-wrote Sexual Inversion in 1897 with John Addington Symonds, marking the first medical textbook in English on homosexuality."
guess I just got my second A+ of the day!! Titus sounds more roman emperor.
the book goes on for too long. I'm missing the personal warmth of a companion narrator as in Handke.
page 554 16 of the month here today is the 16th of October this long crazed rant by Jorden with Streggeh Don tied up is gratuitous, too long, even boring ---
finished that part Part 2 next for tomorrow skimmed ahead in the acknowledgments Salman Rushdie
and Mary Karr I remember her name, her memoir-novel about shit that happened to her, forget exactly what, 40 years ago? she had blip of fame for it --- still waiting curious to see what Dennis will say about it, too bad Phil couldn't have opined either --- he might say it be too gentle, after all not bataille enough, not genet enough bomboclat
