问HN:我在这里的一个评论中读到过一篇短篇小说,想找一下链接。
我最近读到一个短篇故事(我想是通过这里的一条评论链接到的),但现在找不到了。我所有的搜索结果都不对,甚至连人工智能也搞不清楚。我可能记错了一些细节,但有没有人记得一个高度讽刺的故事,讲述一个未来的情景,其中:
- 主角开始时是一个乞丐,但在昨晚却是世界上最富有的人……他们今晚将再次赢得(和失去)他们的财富,假设这种模式在可预见的未来将会很常见。
- 同样,主角在恢复财富时将娶到世界上最理想的女人,但在财富再次失去后不久就会离婚。
- (这个记忆有些模糊)人类的部分大脑被移除,这有效地限制了他们的速度——他们现在被“超频”,没有更好的术语来形容。
- (这个记忆也模糊)人类被分为2或3个类别,在每天的8到12小时内活跃?主角的所有发明/投资赚钱/亏损都是在夜间进行的?
- 由于搜索和人工智能无法找到这个故事,我认为这不是一位著名作家的著名作品。也许是最近的博客文章或虚构作品?不过,写作风格感觉比较老旧,有点冯·内古特的风格(但不是冯·内古特)。
我非常想找到这个故事,因为我想把它分享给一些朋友,所以任何帮助都非常感谢。

I recently enjoyed a short story that (I think) was linked in a comment to a post here, but I can't find it now. All of my searches are resulting in the wrong stories, and even AI is flummoxed. I'm probably misremembering the details, but does anyone recall a highly satirical story about a future where:<p>- The main character starts as a beggar, but was one of the richest people in the world last night...they will win (and lose) their fortune again tonight, assumingly this will be a common pattern for the forseeable future<p>- Similarly, the main character will marry the most desirable woman in the world when his fortune is regained, only to divorce a short while later when it is lost again<p>- (this memory sketchy) Humans have had a part of their brain removed that effectively speed limited them - they are now "overclocked" for lack of a better term.<p>- (this memory is sketchy too) Humans are divided into 2 or 3 categories that are active during 8-12 hour windows of the day? The main character does all their invention/investment money making/losing over night?<p>- Because search and AI can't find it, I don't think it is a famous work by a famous author. Maybe even a recent-ish blog post/work of fiction? The writing felt older though, with a bit of a Vonnegut vibe (but not Vonnegut).<p>Would love to find the story as I want to pass it on to some friends, so any help is much appreciated.
