It’s like a super long winded, highly qualified way of asking, hey, is the Emperor Naked? Because I don’t see any clothes on the Emperor. And this has been going on for a while, so, you know, what are you seeing? I see naked.
I feel like the Odd Lots podcast with Bankman-Fried and Matt Levine really kicked this off, and the collapse of Luna / Terra ensured that there’s be some real oomph to it. Here’s hoping this leads to a more general awareness that there’s no there there. I mean, if you are in it as 2022 version of Keno or slots or lotto tickets or whatever, fine.
In the meanwhile, out in reality, not only are delivery vans making real world use of the Traveling Salesman problem, BUT, warehouses can buy cases for tablets that have 3D cameras that will measure the stuff in the warehouse, and software that will use Packing problem solutions to ensure that the pallet assembled with the stuff will fit through the loading dock door and into the vehicle without having to be partially unloaded and reloaded.
I’m sure that other things from algorithms classes from days of yore are being put to awesome, real world use, and I am eager to learn about them.
