    I think I read a Daniel Suarez book about this once.

    I wish I could read dark-mode but my eyes somehow cannot handle it (not just on that website, in general).

    Wait what this is the best reason to write a bunch of assembly AND learn about ants?
    • armandhammer10 4 hours ago
      And (potentially) go to Hawaii!

      But in all seriousness, ants are smarter than they look. They operate as a collective. Just in the same way that assembly needs to operate collectively to get the best output.

      They're more closely linked than they appear from the outside ;)

        As a collective, yes. If you look at individuals, they often go in circles and act really dumb. But for the colony it still works out, bigger brains would cost too much energy I suppose and simple algorithms work. (I often watched real ants while and my head translated their behavior to simple algorithms)

    This is a balancing act between collectors and explorers. There is probably some optimized number. Likely targeted at beginners.

    Nice way of hiring but is it really worth it to give the public a trip to Maui (kinda expensive these days)

    Does it really reveal that much talent to make it worth the money?

    Just curious

    • armandhammer10 5 hours ago
      It's less about the money. It's about giving people a chance to do something fun / show off their skills and get rewarded for it.

      Plus, Hawaii is awesome.

        I think it is a fun contest! As for recruitment, it suggests to me you are looking for people with no kids, and possibly young people.
