Isn't the reason for lack of associativity/commutivity is that you're doing operations (addition/subtraction) that have them, and then snapping the result to the closest one of fixed number of points in your output dictionary? The addition is fine, loss of information is in the final conversion.

There's definitely some lossy compression when you snap it to the nearest known vector: enumerating every word ever written in human history wouldn't even come close to the 2^(16*D) representable points for a D-dimensional float16 embedding vector. In fact, even adding two float16 values is a form of lossy compression for most additions. But I'd be surprised if either of those were the primary reason. The words "sea"…

If we constrain our selves to a pool of words of say Wikipedia entries, minutes names and maybe some other stuff, and use a "super node" like "addition" to kind of act as a math operation.. maybe this makes more sense?

Lemme know if there's another way to press every combination: let maxElementReachedForElement = {}; let totalElements = 0; let firstElement = 0; let secondElement = 0; setInterval(function() { document.getElementsByClassName('mobile-item')[firstElement].getElementsByClassName('item')[0].click(); document.getElementsByClassName('mobile-item')[secondElement].getElementsByClassName('item')[0].click(); totalElements = do…

I think you can reduce state. Rather than tracking maxElementReached per-element, maintain a single maxElementReached for the first n elements. March the first n elements forward in lockstep, and grow n by 1 whenever you exhaust all available combinations for that set

  1. Combine the first element with every next element until exhausted.
  2. Catch up the second element to where the first element got to.
  3. Combine the first two elements with every next element, until exhausted.
  4. Catch up the third element.
  5. Combine the first three elements with every next element
  6. etc.
In pseudocode...

  n = 1
  maxElementReached = -1
  
  while(n

I've some how managed to get down an infinite variation of "Ant-..."

One of the more interesting ones is "Ant-smoke"?

Edit: Another interesting one is combing "Batman" and "Robin" to make "Dynamic Duo"

Edit 2: I've now managed to turn the game into a number generator and by combining numbers together I've ended up creating some very large numbers. Doesn't seem to be a limit to the size either

My best so far are ‘Sharktopus Flytrap’… and ‘Suicide Bomber’, ‘Osama’ and ‘Terrorist’.

Not kidding!

The game state clears on reload, so here's a wee console snippet to export your list of elements:

    console.log(JSON.stringify({discoveries: window.$nuxt.$root.$children[2].$children[0].$children[0]._data.discoveries, elements:window.$nuxt.$root.$children[2].$children[0].$children[0]._data.elements}))
I'll figure out how to re-import the state later, but it's past midnight for me now.

Couldn't build up to doesn't mean they didn't exist... it took me a while to make a "Sandwich". But after spending enough (too much) time with it, I was able to construct some things that show it's not disappointingly finite: * "Bollygraff" * "Teen Mom 12" * "Hackimus Prime" * "Billionaire King + Sushi Burger Venus" (sic) One potentially frustrating part is that some things turn out to be black holes... for example,…

You can combine Trump with the Empire State Building to get Trump Tower. Also I think Trump + Money was Bankruptcy. And there's Trumpthuluh obviously.

I forget how I got Trump (it was a different formulation than others mentioned though). But Trump + Titanic = Sinking Ship

I couldn't find any information but does this use some kind of LLM to derive the combinations from? It makes a request to the backend every time you combine items which sometimes takes >500ms, and also supports some really wild combinations that I highly doubt someone has taken the time to come up with. It would also explain why the icons are emoji's, it would be fairly trivial to ask ChatGPT to give you the result o…
