Every patient would be treated with random drug/treatment. With accumulated treatment results, a multi armed bandit algorithm would adjust probabilities so, that most effective treatment would be used more often. For example, in Thomps

Maybe if prefaced with something like "anything in this project, including tests may be buggy, your job is to make everything work as intended", it would be less of a test of "guts to speak up on interview" and more just

What typically happens to corporate profits that are declared in a tax-haven? Naively, when those profits are moved out of the tax-haven, they will create income, profits or dividends on the entities they are transferred to, and those will

I bet air rushing through 100 mile tunnel has _much_ more resistance than half a mile long train rushing through air at same speed. There is much more interface between a wall and moving air at the former case.

I tend to think like this too. If the change is small/easy evolution probably tried it already. A standard guess for a "downside" would be increased energy expenditure (but only a guess). Also, Klotho seems to decline with ag

DING! This is what always happens. If you want to get useful manipulations done to code you'll eventually creep up to a Turing complete system. Now you have a type system where you could calculate any program transformation, albeit in
