I'm actually a pretty slow reader because I have an intrinsic desire to be thorough. But this paper is an easy read compared to my usual fare of deeply technical documentation written by technically brilliant, but bad writers. πŸ˜…

I had some vague recollection of you recommending a Brains mining book and mentioning it was a short read. Lies! πŸ˜‚

Seriously though this does sound interesting, and I just might give it the 30 page read

what? that book is thinner than a finger!

just wait 'til you discover Neal Stephenson 😈

lol. I’m aware and have read a few of his books. Revisited him to read cryptonomicon a few years back and gave up quickly for some reason. Probably cuz it was too thick πŸ˜‚

Anathema stands out to me from the short list I’ve read

If memory serves it was 80ish pages of pretty technical stuff. Thats a lot to me! I’m woefully ignorant of almost all mining technicals (though plan to learn someday), so my impression is it was a bit advanced and would take several days to digest :/

Ah that makes sense. I didn't think about how accessible it was. Honestly I skimmed over the numbers and most of the graphs and just paid attention to the author's conclusions. I guess I read that book with a goal in mind and didn't try to grok the parts that didn't advance my goal.
