Individual particle interactions are not chaotic. Simulating them one timestep at a time would take linear time in the number of particles.

They're only chaotic if you treat them in aggregate, which a superintelligence wouldn't do. It would be less lossy to get all the positions of the particles and figure out exactly what each one would do.

Something has to compute the universe, since it is currently running...

Not necessarily. There have been a number of papers trying to emphasize the generalization power of a network rather than "it got a SOTA number", and so leave off fine tuning results. Because that would distract from the point of the paper.

Do you really think most smartphone users look at the URL anymore? Or even know what a URL is?

From the non-technical people I've talked to, the answer is no, they don't know what a URL is, and that was happening before AMP came around.

That's great! It feels so good to be doing something you want to do.

Pretty much all of the relationship to practical stuff in papers like this related to the RH are "it gives us information about the prime numbers, and those are used in cryptography".

It's really just about getting people to perk their ears up rather than true implications about crypto.

I checked that and the only one that had email access was my Windows desktop. This led me to assume my PC had a virus, until I saw this thread.

Hence the "pretty much". Clearly Japan has numerous numerous social issues, but other than that they're doing much better than we are over there.

Everything in America should emulate Japan, pretty much.

So genetic programming, but for NN's? Hasn't that been done?

This is why whenever I see news like this, I get nervous.
