So cool! Really looking forward to playing around with this.

It was also a great little explainer of how these tilings get made. One question: how do you guarantee/prove that the tiling you get back from the grid is quasiperiodic?

Pesticides are bad for bees, but Varroa is too. Until Varroa arrived in Australia the bees there didn't suffer from colony collapse, despite high pesticide use.

That's true of all statistical models, it's not some magic property of neural networks.

I can see the mathematical results are interesting, I was more wondering if there was a practical utility to this TreeFlow thing they built.

Apologies if I didn't understand the paper, but why do you want to apply diffusion models to tabular datasets in the first place?

Do we think they'll be better than decision trees? Is there some tabular problem that can be handled by diffusion but not trees?

Do neural networks work better than other models? They can definitely model a wider class of problems than traditional ML models (images being the canonical example). However, I thought where a like for like comparison was possible they tend to worse than gradient boosting.
