Several tools similar also can take in previous starts that are partially correct and use them to get closer. For my work, I am finding the local-mip package great for finding primal solutions better than CP-SAT, and then using HiGHS for my branch & bounder a great combination and feeding the results from local-mip to HiGHS. I do wish more tools could take in branching prioritizations or hints, I tried SCIOPT and it just didn't work as well as HiGHS even with priorization.

Interesting problems don't exist in a vacuum. I'm sure it was an interesting problem to figure out how to track people who opted out of tracking, how to build gas chambers, how to add lead to gasoline, doesn't mean one should choose to solve them.

While I agree, there's plenty of people who refuse to watch anything that's not sharp. I think there's room for both to exist, just clearly labeled as "original" and "AI Upscaled to 4K"

I used to work for a drywall manufacturer who still owned their own mines despite efforts to divest from them by some. They always viewed it as a structural advantage to still own them and not be wholly dependent on the coal plants (which effectively have conveyor belts going from the coal plants to the wallboard plants). I imagine as time goes on it'll become even more of an advantage for them to still own those mines as their competitors are forced to buy at highly inflated prices (or even from them) as coal shuts down.

When Roomba thought it was about to be acquired by Amazon, it did lay off 10% of its staff - https://www.therobotreport.com/irobot-laying-off-10-of-staff.... and after the deal was canceled, it was disclosed that they had reduced R&D and focused on margin improvements, and there was some brain drain as people left Roomba as it was in a 18 month limbo - https://www.verdict.co.uk/irobot-to-cut-over-a-third-of-its-.... And of course all this self inflicted pain only hurt them doubly as the Amazon deal fell through. If they had acted as if they weren't going to be acquired they might be fine, but they tried to maximize the shareholder revenue.

The best open source OCR model for handwriting in my experience is surya-v2 or nougat, really depends on the docs which is better, each got about 90% accuracy (cosine similarity) in my tests. I have not tried Deepseek-OCR, but mean to at some point.

In what world is that the "average experience" in American cities?
