a model is just a bigass polynomial function in the end isn't it? a planner is one configuration of layer graph, parameter and result types, no?

then i would say planner is a subclass of model

what is a planner in this context?

one thing is clear - once the US turns inwards to sort itself out, the cat's away, and all the baddies of the world will crawl out of their hidey holes and start some shit. it's the end of pax americana. it's already ending.

yeah. and in a way, this is where all programming will always end up. be you a scientist or a government clerk helping to design a new law, you define a metric and then everyone optimizes against it. the metric is the original creative act. it is the final form of programming.

as i took a walk this afternoon it occurred to me that once one considers black box emulation a solved problem (say, machine learning were so advanced that we could efficiently optimize against any error metric), then the next problem becomes design of the error metric itself, which is like...
"oh shit, i can't optimize the metric because for that i would need a error metric error metric..."
this is the point were no automation can save you the work. you have to figure out what to wish for.
