It is true. DP always deals with optimization. Just because my car has a radio, doesn't mean my car is a radio.

There are two key attributes that a problem must have in order for dynamic programming to be applicable: optimal substructure and overlapping sub-problems. ... Optimal substructure means that the solution to a given optimization problem can be obtained by the combination of optimal solutions to its sub-problems.
See the words optimal and optimization?
Ok? Anybody can choose to do this if they work at a public company. But what happen if it's mandatory and the stock goes down? Now your labor was stolen at below market rate! Then we will hear "employees compensation should be resilient to market fluctuations."
These people have no sense of urgency around danger, or they cannot recognize danger.
Learn to process the feeling of exhaustion as economically as possible. Meaning, re-frame exhaustion as a normal part of the journey. You really have to push through it, barring mental health concerns, to get stronger and more resilient. You will feel mental exhaustion many times in your life, and it's better to face it early, in less-consequential circumstances, than to try to learn to cope when life is actually bad.
I've had this conversation with the "there shouldn't be billionaires" crowd. Their response was almost always "do it anyways." The existence of people with surplus angers people in a deficit, regardless of if destroying that surplus helps. They want to do it out of anger against the system, not to fix the system.
That said, I don't think fixing the system is impossible. There needs to be a balance between preserving the hierarchy of (theoretical) meritocracy, and not letting too much wealth create a flywheel effect that warps economies. I've done some research of different ideas that could turn the wealth distribution curve from exponential to linear, thereby preserving ordering. Mostly these ideas revolve around each person having their own personal currency, with its own exchange rate which is dependent on different graph connectivity factors. In other words, a rich person's "$10" would be worth much less than a poor person's "$10", in terms of real value. I'd like to do more research into this, but I need help.
Yes I've tried melatonin, morning full-spectrum light therapy (incl sunlight), nighttime blue light filters, exercise, restricted night diet, alcohol + caffeine + sugar abstinence, and more that I'm sure I forgot about. Morning productivity just doesn't work for me. The world isn't made for night owl workers.
Why are kids so addicted to meth? :O
LLMs can help a lot there. I've been wanting to write an LLM => Constraint model adapter that does it for you. It's such low hanging fruit, I wonder if anyone else would benefit from it though.
