Overview

Two Minute Papers covers a paper on speeding up fluid and smoke simulation with convolutional networks. It contrasts the approach with earlier regression forest methods.

On Hacker News

It is cited as an early example of neural networks learning physics, and recalled during later discussions of AI video generation.

Linear Logic is amazing-ly useful, [LINK] Rust [0] wouldn't exist without it. Oddly enough, I think the next discontinuity in programming language design will be in making it easier to construct anytime [1], incremental [2] and succinct [3] programs. There is a tyranny of poor tolerancing that we currently have a very hard time from escaping. Is it that differentiable programs can be made sloppy in a way that a non-differentiable one can't? Have you looked at the research of using DNN for physics simulations? [4] [0] [LINK] [1] [LINK] [2] [LINK] [3] [LINK] [4] [VIDEO]
