Why a room, why one paper
Reading is not skimming
A canonical paper takes an evening to read properly. A room where everyone finishes it is rarer than it should be.
Arguments make it stick
You understand a paper when someone across the table disagrees with your reading of it.
One a week compounds
Fifty-two papers a year is a different intellectual life. The archive here is the trail we leave.
From the group chat
the crispr paper is from 2012. my aunt's cancer treatment uses crispr.
i had to stop reading the attention paper after every paragraph because i needed to think
just realized bitcoin was described completely in 8 pages in 2008 and it's been 16 years of people arguing about it
the turing paper reads like a story. i didn't expect to feel something.
