[00:53:22] <exec> 08└─in the real world there are tradeoffs of memory for energy(cpu speed). Theoretically, all problems can be mapped to classes of other problems, in particular phase spaces indicating the dimensionality of the problem. The practical solutions can *sometimes* be faster, by exploiting empirical locality....

[00:53:24] <exec> 08└─Texas Hold 'em got brute forced a little while ago through memory rather than compute (http://ai.cs.unibas.ch/_files/teaching/fs15/ki/material/ki02-poker.pdf). If you look up essays citing that solution, you'll find all the current research that tries formalizing the compute~memory trade-offs.
