    Focus on automating human labour as much as possible. Problems in the world all trace back to lack of resources. A rich man can afford to be 'nice to the environment', a poor man c…

    1 rich person saving his money so his 3 children never have to work is bad for the economy. It's better the 1 rich person is forced to consume that in his lifetime. By doing so tha…

    Do they need to be typical houses? About 10 million cars are produced in the USA every year. An RV/Trailer type thing is like a car - so quite easily you could imagine producing th…

    Something is wrong with that argument. Welfare + Taxation = Basic Income. Already we have it, by definition - it's an equation. So some part of your calculation is wrong. Likely yo…

    Constraint programming is the new way, with Minizinc as the language. OR-tools from google is the best current solver. https://www.minizinc.org/

    SAT, SMT, constraint programming lie on a continuum. SMT is SAT plus machinery from constraint programming. I'm not an expert on this, just info from this video. According to him c…

    - hashing followed by dot product in transformer you said - you were doing dot products at each layer to introduce non-linearity in transformer (and neural nets in general). Polyno…

    I'm going to write this out more clearly, because I'm still getting downvotes for my correct answer. Why neural networks? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_approximation_theo…

    http://matpalm.com/resemblance/simhash/ Simhash algorithm, the LSH i knew about (which i mistakenly thought is LSH) works exactly like VW. It is ngrams + hash.

    Let's think through this clearly. Locality sensitive hashing is a way to put similar vectors into the same buckets - by omission etc. It does this by hashing, but the intent is to …

    They are doing the same thing - using less memory by hashing. The hashing trick in VW hashes multiple same words into one integer, not the same as reformer, but similar to how refo…

    Vowpal Wabbit has been doing this 'hashing trick' since the 200s. It also the feature interaction, which are the same thing as a layer in transformers (all against all matrix). So …

    Most prolog implementations have finite domain constraints and constraint handling rules, so you can work with constraints if that's more natural.
