AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the transition of a photo contest platform, with users expressing patience during the changeover.

Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it:
Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources)
Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources)

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up.
It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
