Sysyphus, misunderstood

[misha_b]

It is often believed that Sysyphus was a king who was forced to forever roll a stone up the mountain slope as a punishment by Zeus for cheating death.

The truth, as is often the case with the Greek myths, is different. In fact, Sysyphus was not a king at all. He was an investor and operator of an early manual gravity energy storage device.

I've read a comment somewhere recently that it is stupid to heat you house with electricity without mining some bitcoin first :)

I have a friend who used to heat his house by running his bitcoin mining servers in the early years (but was not wise enough to keep those bitcoin).

Offtopic: I presume you've seen the new "Grokking" paper by a small OpenAI team at "The Role of Mathematical Reasoning in General Artificial Intelligence" ICLR workshop :-)

I took a quick look at the paper. It seems like a nice demonstration of something we already knew. Am I missing something?
