I don't think the author is trying to pretend this is some sophisticated strategy you should actually use (note the chudjak in the image on github)

I think this is probably due to people suffering from the just-world fallacy. Most folks like to believe that if you do the right things and consume the right stuff you'll have a long and healthy life when the fact of the matter is that luck/randomness plays a much larger role in your health than most people would like to admit.

Pretty fun! Only complaint is that the responses from the founders take a bit long to load.

This looks really interesting! I tried exploring deep RL myself some time ago but could never get my agents to make any meaningful progress, and as someone with very little stats/ML background it was difficult to debug what was going wrong. Will try following this and seeing what happens!
