I get what you mean, but did you consider they might pour enough molten metal into the mold so it overflows each cavity along the coin tree, with the whole patterned area becoming one side of the coin?

Except for those people with crippling ADHD, who never get to build a career, have trouble maintaining meaningful relationships and succumb to the overhead and additional stress of having to try life on hard mode.
Let's not pretend those people don't exist or that ADHD is not a problem for adults any longer, in particular in places where healthcare is not readily accessible.
I was wondering what the old reverse engineer had to say about eating pussy, but yeah, that makes sense.
I mean, it's Vinegar Syndrome. They should be doing exactly that.

Yes, but many things can be mapped to "language", let's say a grammar describing state machines, so it can be used to generate control actions.
Transformer models etc. are not only useful for conversational AI and translations.
I'd be fine with the approach as part of research advancing the field, but unfortunately, that's not what we're seeing.
The original paper might have other issues, e. g. https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2022/01/07/pnas-gigo-qrp-wtf-approaching-the-platonic-ideal-of-junk-science/
But I'm not here to discuss effect size or quality of sources, I think it is much more important to understand that there is no good proof that nudging enables people to make good, lasting changes, while at the same time offering policymakers an easy and cheap way out of applying uncontested, proven methods that would be a lot more beneficial.
Given that you quoted from the last paper, there was a response from Maier et al. to that paper explicitly, correcting for publication bias and finding no effect when "nudging":
The papers are listed at the bottom of the screenshot you posted, I agree it's badly formatted so not immediately obvious / visible.
However, I can provide sources later on, I actually still have to get back to another post to provide some papers, but it'll be a while until I have the time to do that.
No, it doesn't work - that is exactly the problem. If you don't want to listen to the podcast (which would be a shame), they list a number of studies in the show notes.
There are a few select cases for which personal nudges work, but only to a miniscule degree which is far less than what the authors claimed. And naturally, proposing nudge theory hinders actual, much more effective, systematic changes that would really benefit people - and that is a major problem.
It's a face, fake feel good strategy that can be employed to claim improving a given system - like attaching a little plastic string to the plastic cap of your beverage container so companies can claim to have improved the plastic littering problem.
Actually, don't read the books. The concept is pretty much made up. Here is an entertaining podcast about that:

Yeah, please don't get your health information (aka half-truths) from social media. Start with an easily accessible source, e. g.
https://med.stanford.edu/news/insights/2025/03/5-things-to-know-about-the-effects-of-seed-oils-on-health.html
... and if necessary, research from there.
