Many had the same thought after AlphaZero i.e. some sort of expert-iteration for any (formal/combinatorial) domain what can be tree-searched

But it turns out, that interesting problems have existing refined algorithms that are difficult to beat

I agree that (DL + something) is the next step

Do you lean more towards symbolic search + neural heuristic or neural representation of symbolic domain ?

Should this be modifiable for higher-level byte-code?

My thinking is to provide hand-crafted primitives to transform byte code, and maybe use an existing optimizer to do the search.

Love to chat. Sent u an email (former HFT and kernel guy).

One topic which is feel is neglected is a good GCN (or any GNN) to operate on existing code trees. Most approaches seem to prefer seq or at most tree inputs.

Is this simply not finding yet a good network architecture, or is it a performance issue ?

What do you think is a more productive path leading to "AutoCode" ?!

A. Add external definitions or reward formalism to make the code-space easier to search?

OR

B. Keep adding code trees, execution traces, comments, memory dumps and learn from those?

My own instinct is that AlphaZero was a lot more convincing than AlphaStar, so lots of (A) is definitely needed

As a non-US person, is there anyway to bill using Stripe without incorporating? I dont mind withholding tax, etc, i just want to be able to bill and track the initial revenues.

AFAIK, Stripe is not available in all-EU countries. Paypal just works in this case.

My only nitpick is that AG (ML + search really) improved logarithmic-ally with exponential compute.

In addition, real world domains may not be some parallizable.

So yes, current AI is like a brilliant intern. It will eventually be your manager, but its gonna take a few more years ?

Is there some sort of group-defense, where several sue-ees group together to contest a ridiculous patent ?

I guess the main difficulty is not the legal framework, but the business framing

Great news.

I wonder if already there will be a selection bias to recession-friendly and revenue-producing startups

IANAVC (not a vc), but i think do this is doubling down on risk.

If you take seed from VC, then: 1. if you are mediocre then things become very difficult for you 2. if you are successful, the VC can discount the risk premium, and push u into an even higher valuation

> Over their lifetimes, red supergiants like Betelgeuse create and eject vast amounts of material

What % of material is then captured by other forming/formed stars? Doesnt it just end up in interstellar space ?
