alt Hacker NewsNP-Hard is NP-hard... "heuristics" in this case is just a euphemism for a fantasy cost-function to scam shareholders.
It is a named problem, and can't be misappropriated like the $9Tn worth of FOSS code "AI" scraped and compacted for isomorphic plagiarism tokens. =3

The best solution might be NP-hard. However we don't need the best, we need one that is good enough, and that is more doable.

I don’t know why you’re trying to make this so hard.
The problem is NP hard whether I do it or a machine does it.
I can still do a good job despite being NP hard. I believe a machine with enough compute will be able to, too.
