I think the way life frames many of its problems forces you to simply run into the jungle, cutting through the shrubbery. At least in the sense of deeply technical projects, it's difficult to utilize a Pareto front optimization system, as learning something fully requires long stretches of complete focus. You lose a lot of cached information if you're always switching between contexts. So, I guess it depends on the type of end goal you hope to achieve, but I personally wouldn't utilize Pareto front optimization (maybe I only think this because I am relatively deep into exploitation though).

I've read about this -- decided not to include in the blog because wasn't very easy to analogize to the problem in an especially unique way. Still interesting though!

I personally think that if you aren't employable you should probably try to explore more to find a good arm to begin to exploit (supposing you are young with long-range T and are able to take advantage of learning opportunities once given them). There's usually a lot of variance in life's arms, so it's good to try as long as exploring doesn't ruin your other possibilities (or you have other responsibilities). Otherwise, you would be stuck exploiting an overall not-so-beneficial arm.

Made this, but haven't fully refined it since moving onto other projects. If anyone else thinks this is cool or interesting, might work on it more.

Feel free to write trading bot code when self hosting the simulator, but you will also need multiple different code-uploads to have them actually interact with each other.
