Ray Kurzweil's analogy using the Human Genome Project to illustrate how linear perception underestimates exponential progress, where reaching 1% in 7 years meant completion was only 7 doublings away: Halfway through the human genome project, 1% had been collected after 7 years, and mainstream critics said, “I told you this wasn’t going to work. 1% in 7 years means it’s going to take 700 years, just like we said.” My reaction was, “We finished one percent - we’re almost done. We’re doubling every year. 1% is only 7 doublings from 100%.” And indeed, it was finished 7 years later. A key question is why do some people readily get this, and other people don’t? It’s definitely not a function of accomplishment or intelligence. Some people who are not in professional fields understand this very r...

I code A LOT. It's sorta my life. I used to work on a lot of different projects but now I'm fully invested in getting Google's A2A protocol off the ground. If you have any questions about A2A, I'd be happy to answer them. At the current moment, I consider myself one of the foremost experts (given how nascent the protocol is and how long I've been staring at code and getting types to compile, I think it's a fair statement.)
