提问 HN:寻找我之前在这里的评论中读到的一篇短篇故事的链接

1作者: kqcso1 天前
我最近读了一篇短篇小说,(我想)它是在这里的一个帖子的评论中被链接的,但我现在找不到了。我所有的搜索都指向了错误的故事,甚至人工智能也束手无策。我可能记错了细节,但有人记得一个高度讽刺的故事,内容是关于一个未来: * 主角一开始是个乞丐,但昨晚还是世界上最富有的人之一……今晚他们又会赢得(和失去)他们的财富,这很可能在可预见的未来会成为一种常见的模式。 * 同样,当主角重新获得财富时,他会娶到世界上最理想的女人,但很快又会在失去财富后离婚。 * (这个记忆有点模糊)人类大脑中有一部分被移除,这有效地限制了他们的速度——现在他们被“超频”了,用一个不太准确的词来形容。 * (这个记忆也有点模糊)人类被分成2到3个类别,在一天中8-12小时的窗口期内活动?主角所有的发明/投资赚钱/亏钱都是在夜间完成的? * 因为搜索和人工智能都找不到它,我不认为这是一部著名作家创作的著名作品。也许甚至是一个最近的博客文章/虚构作品?但写作风格感觉更老,有点冯内古特的味道(但不是冯内古特)。 我很想找到这个故事,因为我想把它分享给我的朋友们,所以非常感谢任何帮助。

I recently enjoyed a short story that (I think) was linked in a comment to a post here, but I can&#x27;t find it now. All of my searches are resulting in the wrong stories, and even AI is flummoxed. I&#x27;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 &quot;overclocked&quot; 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&#x2F;investment money making&#x2F;losing over night?<p>- Because search and AI can&#x27;t find it, I don&#x27;t think it is a famous work by a famous author. Maybe even a recent-ish blog post&#x2F;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.
