Researchers Debate Tradeoff Between Generic Computational Models and Practical Relevance
rrwilliams · x · 2026-10-08
Researcher rrwilliams responds to lpachter's skepticism about the value of approximation results, noting a tradeoff: working in a generic computational model and trying to solve all possible instances means the results won't necessarily be relevant for many practical applications. He also wonders whether there's a better way of step counting.
