Is There a Difference in the Space of All Possible Programs?
David Wheeler: It seems apparent that let's say what deep learning is doing is this differentiable program search, if you will. But doesn't that leave open the possibility that other algorithms that are more discrete in nature may have access to a different subspace of the space of all programs?Wheeler: Is that true? Well, the question is, how do you find these algorithms to manipulate the discrete things? And it turns out when we reason and so on, even when we do discrete reasoning that the steps that we assemble it to each other are heuristics that require some kind of probabilistic element, right? So there's not an obvious limit that I can see where I
