Take a look at the 500M seed round next :)
you dont get to do that for conditional generation though. When we have a target then we have to generate multiple, pick closest to target, and discard the rest.

Thanks for the link, I dug a little more and came across [1] which mentions a contribution by erdos to the effect that persistence might not be bounded. I guess I might spend some time to figure out number 12 :) [1] http://web.archive.org/web/20050214141815/http://www.wschnei...

I dont think it will max out. I brute forced it upto 10 million and I got the following numbers (5, 679) (6, 6788) (7, 68889) (8, 2677889) sure the numbers are exponential but no reason to suspect that a glass ceiling exists.

are you talking about her comment that Python has no data abstraction? Even I found that odd, maybe she was only talking about the lack of static types as opposed to java, c# which are "expert languages"
