    After reading more, it seems the novelty is in the two specific schemes that use these techniques to store data with high probability into tables of extremely high load factors wit…

    How is this novel? This is like using a fixed sharding scheme plus delta-compression for indices relative to shard addresses plus varint encoding the deltas.

    These are real RNNs, they still depend upon the prior hidden state, it’s just that the gating does not. The basic RNN equation can be parallelized with parallel prefix scan algorit…

    This is “Mortal Computation” coined in Hinton’s The Forward-Forward Algorithm: Some Preliminary Investigations https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.13345 .

    Also the rolling hash is only on map keys, so replacing fixed-size values requires no splits.

    I think the best implementation (without eye-tracking) would not motion-blur the entire scene when the player moves themselves (ego-motion-blur) but would blur moving objects. Howe…

    The point is that ego-motion-blur is dumb. (It can also make players motion-sick.) You say it yourself: "your brain compensates for saccades by censoring input for a while. And it …

    I wonder about allowing the hand to 1-D random walk left or right when examining the visited bit for evicting an item.

    Related, but still 3D, these are non-euclidean 3d geometries: https://3-dimensional.space/ I like the S3 geometry, which is essentially floating around on the 3d-surface of a 4d ba…
