I think of it as "Could Newton have used this to find the expressions for the forces he was analyzing (eg gravitational force = g m_1 m_2 / d^2)?". I once asked a physics prof whether that was conceivable in principle, and he

Fyi, it's actually easier for trains to be on time the longer the journey is - that's because sane travel times aren't calculated at max speeds. So if there is any delay, you can go at a higher speed than what was used in the

AlphaZero is arguably like those algorithms on steroids, probably worth a mention there. Even though the goal is a bit different, finding Nash equilibria for games like Go is probably still infeasible, but you also don't need that to b
