Programming humans Posted: 25 Jan 2022 10:52 PM PST Is there some part of computer science that uses computational techniques to "program humans"? For example, if you're the manager of a call centre or a sales force, you're essentially implementing some argmax algorithm across a distributed system. A lot of tasks in sales involves "If customer objects to X, then offer Y." A loose analogy for a given worker would be: Brain = Hardware Mind = OS Skills = Apps I'm not trying to reduce the human spirit to a mere machine, but rather thinking about how to maximize workplace efficiency such that people can work less and do what they really want. submitted by /u/frostylock [link] [comments]

I don't know if this is the right sub, but why is markdown still not a standard for text files? Posted: 25 Jan 2022 07:29 PM PST From a consumer pov, markdown beats standard text files in almost any way. Many people haven't even heard about it. Are there any downsides to markdown from another perspective? If no, why not use it as a standard? submitted by /u/KRSagarTS [link] [comments]
