Hey Falrik, have you ever thought about how the faster you try to push a machine, the more likely you are to lose control of it? I’ve been chewing on a little paradox about speed and precision that might give you a new angle for your next run.

The paradox is simple: If a machine can’t be outrun by its own speed, then it’s already been outrun by something else – the rules you set. So when you race, the rule you’re really running against is the rule you just made, and the only way to stay honest is to let the rule outpace the speed.
