   Is this kind of parallelization possible on only compiled language? Or is it also possible for interpreted language like JavaScript?

   One of the longest read I've completed online this year. The author obviously care a lot about integrity and plagiarism and a lot has been discussed from the author's perspective. I wonder if we can analyze this case study from a

    You don't hear a lot about them nowadays because the hype now is ML, even though things like search or decision tree are probably more widely adopted than ML. I believe things come and go in cycles, so we might see the rise of non-ML s

    I get what you mean. In principle things like policy iteration, value iteration and Q learning are not ML specific. However, I didn't think of reinforcement learning when compiling that list, because in my experience non-ML RL solution

    There might be only one Pareto Optimal solution, but there can be many Nash Equilibrium solutions. Also, humans are not 100% rational agents.
