It's hard for us humans to make any kind of clean predictions about highly nonlinear dynamical systems.

Summary

It's hard for us humans to make any kind of clean predictions about highly nonlinear dynamical systems. But again to your point, we might be very surprised what classical learning systems might be able to do about even fluid. >> Yes, exactly. I mean fluid dynamics, Navia Stokes equations, these are traditionally thought of as very very difficult intractable problems to do on classical systems. They take enormous amounts of compute, you know, weather prediction systems, you…
