@alexthecamel I still find it funny that the academic name is "idiosyncracy credits"[1]. Increasingly verbose meme.

@p No worries! Nitpicking is good™.

@p I don't know how to answer "finding local optima for problems like how to get food". My question was underspecified but that's okay it's only a fediverse poll.

@p Or in creating rocket propulsion systems, how much more efficient can the optimum be?

@p All of humanity. E.g. in creating superconductors at atmospheric pressure, what's the highest temperature that they can exist at?

In general, how good are humans at solving problems compared to the theoretical optimum?
