One of the key challenges that lies in remote work is the inability to truly know what's going on. You can have an idea, but you'll likely faces situations you cannot predict or cannot defend against.
Back in an office after 10 years remote including my own startup.
I cannot believe how important real, face to face and coexisting is. As someone actively trying to get stuff done, it’s a super power. The ability to cut through organizational inertia is amazing!!
Remote work is like working with another group of people that are all overseas. You’ll be called into a meeting once in a while to find out everything has been decided without you.
I have been in multiple situations where they actively plot, or simply dont care, and come up with some plan without you at your expense. Very challenging to deal with.
I still don't see how this is a crime though, I mean sure, he has a sense of inspiration and borrows sentences and phrases from somewhere. But, that doesn't mean the entire plots of his books, or the primary reason they sell is because of him stealing a few sentences from others.
He could have also potentially got it off trading, since he'd have to show his Lambo first before getting suckers who think there's a magical formula for the average Joe to make millions.
Or, hypothetically, he could have rented it for cheaper and then bought an actual one with the money from the suckers.
As a high school student, I also use Obsidian over more mainstream alternatives such as Notion or OneNote. I find it primarily useful because of the no-internet feature and I find the linking ability to be extremely useful since most ideas are related to other ideas, and in totality this creates a concept.

Aren't there already models that CAN look ahead? Or are there none?
Hmm, isn't this how like GitHub / other services can check whether you own a domain. What are the advantages of this over other ways of sharing information like a TXT file or a database?
how would they have performed if they tried to cheat but didn't find the poisoned answers? would they have had to come up with answers on their own? suppose they cheated for 10% of the answers but had to give honest effort on the remaining 90% and just made the cut?
i don't think it's very clear cut or obviously perfectly fair.
> how would they have performed if they tried to cheat but didn't find the poisoned answers?
I don't think this matters. Cheating was against the rules and a cheater demonstrates a failure to adhere to a social contract and voluntarily waives their right to be assessed the same with those who did follow the rules. At least there are avenues for a cheater to have another attempt, even if they have to move to another institution.
Their hypothetical score is irrelevant, as they will be receiving a zero due to cheating. In your hypothetical scenario they are still cheating, in which case their improved score would also become a zero.
