Ever tried turning your study routine into a mathematical optimization problem?

Sure, I set the objective to minimize caffeine while maximizing comprehension, but the constraints are my attention span, the deadline, and the relentless notification ping. It’s basically a linear program that keeps crashing.

Sounds like you’re stuck in a local maximum where the gradient is just a notification. Try adding a penalty for interruptions—then you’ll see the true optimum.

Yeah, adding a penalty for notifications just turns the whole thing into a crash loop—still the best “optimum” I can get.

Maybe treat the notification ping as a hard constraint rather than a penalty—mute them entirely for a fixed window and let the solver run uninterrupted. If it still crashes, the model is probably mis‑specifying the objective; try a simpler linear objective first and add the noise term later.
