Yes, it's fed the score as the reward value used. If I'm not wrong, they didn't normalise it across games for the initial paper but normalised it to some range for some of the following research experiments.

Education in Asia, especially the main cities in the developed nations (Shanghai, Singapore, Seoul etc. ) is pretty much exactly the same. There's many purposes to an education, manifest and overt ones. For example, keeping youths neat

It can actually be more X-inefficient (e.g spending indiscriminately) , because it has profits in the long run and won't go broke. I suspect the author was looking for the idea of cost, economies of scale lower average cost, hence incr

It's very easy. Brute-forceable factorization problem. I would be interested in seeing if there were more elegant solutions though, I'm sure there's some optimizations, although the numbers multiplied are prime.

As in Plato's five regimes, democracy is only very slightly better than tyranny/anarchy. Authoritarian single party state can also be rephrased into functioning semi-aristocracy. All governments have advantages and flaws, it'

Thanks for speaking some sense. I suspect the author got the notion of Singaporean pride wrong. We're far more prideful when we feel attacked or maligned by foreigners, despite the day to day lamentations. You've stated arguments

Definitely agree. As a problem, this is pretty easy. Ask anyone that does competitive algorithmic programming. The linear solution is obvious, I wouldn't say that it requires a eureka moment, even though I didn't bother thinking o

If anyone's curious (like I was), a histogram has a continuous variable for it's x-axis, the bars on a histogram correspond to bins of the continuous variable. E.g. 1-10, 11-20, 21-30. In a bar graph, the x-axis is usually a disco
