He's up there, but von neumann still beats him out IMO.
Great man indeed. I just didn’t understand the comparison with Elon Musk.
You are not seriously comparing yourself to Neumann, are you?
wow, these people make SBF look good in comparison.
I am not entirely okay with not being as good as Alan Kay.
Epstein would be a better comparison
Mmm, I think one of them is less of a wannabe than the other. At least so far.
There might be some stylistic similarities but Matt Levine is actually good.
Not sure that I deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Ken Thompson.
