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.

Why Hacker News points people here: 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] this video
