Don't be too hard on yourself. We can't all be Nobel laureates.
Indeed - the state of HTLM parsing is not so bad that improving it might produce Nobel Laureates...
Sure, if you can parse it with regex! ;)

#122There is some nice sweet irony here. Very marginal inside baseball. I know of one of the recipients although indirectly. I felt like their group was kept around their university physics dept because they were known to be good in that field, while generally their colleagues were generally not respected as their physics (which was derisively deemed "AMO" as if it were an epithet) was not seen as "fundamental" enough by…
Surprising/doubtful, never heard of AMO physics being marginalised anywhere.
I can vouch, I'm in a heavily particle/astro dominated dept and AMO is looked down upon.

#123An attosecond is to a second what a second is to the age of the universe.
How much longer this is from the plank time?

There is something about Hungary and extremely smart people : https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/05/26/the-atomic-bomb-consid...
Well, what do you expect? In his novel Budapest, the Brazilian novelist Chico Buarque writes that Hungarian “is rumored to be the only tongue in the world the devil respects.”
Ha, ha; this is the ultimate compliment!

I'm a native Chinese speaker but I have no idea what OP means by "古典小說 tier".
Maybe it’s not Chinese but uses Chinese characters. Not all Latin character use is English.
It is. I know what 古典小說 is (others have already said, "classic novels").
I just don't know what "古典小說 tier" means since I don't remembered they're known for "high-intelligent politics".

Maybe for context, the fact that high-ranking public servants in the West are known as "Mandarins" should indicate the reputation of Chinese government officials for political intrigue.
The Big 4 novels contain a lot of public servants.
