       I love the feeling of going to bed leaving a search algorithm running. Will it have found anything by the time I wake up tomorrow? So exciting.

       (It has not found anything.)

       But, having slept on it, I thought of a faster algorithm, which ran to completion in less than two seconds.

       @robinhouston Did you run the new faster algorithm on a search space you already explored, and you were sure it did not contain the desired object? No judgment, I would have done the same.

       @massimolauria The slow algorithm hadn't completely explored the search space (and in fact had not found the optimal element). The faster algorithm exhausted the whole search space in a couple of seconds.

       @robinhouston the brain is searching the meta space
