Looks like it is, from the paper:

Popper is named after Karl Poppper, whose idea of falsification [53] inspired our approach, as it did Shapiro’s MIS approach [61]. In fact, one can view our approach as Popper’s idea of falsification, where a failure is a refutation/falsification. In other words, in our approach, a learner deduces what hypotheses cannot be true and prunes them from the hypothesis space, leaving only hypotheses not yet refuted.

Grok is old programmer slang for 'understanding.' It's a shame Elon has subverted such a great piece of linguistic history

It lasts longer than any other food, does tuna loops.

Why's that?

No bugger will eat them.

I don't think so. They're still making the exact same revenue per sale on average. The cost isn't relevant here, another way of looking at it is in the case the customer pays nothing they've lost the cost of the goods and the profit they would have otherwise made, so it evens out.

It works out well for the seller if, by providing the option to gamble on the product, they increase sales, which I would guess it would (at the expense of being morally grey).

Afaik inflation, even in the economics sense of the word, is just the increase in the price of things. We have different measures or inflation, e.g in the UK (and probably similarly in many other countries) we often measure inflation, for the purposes of fiscal policy, via consumer and retail price indexes, literally the cost of a certain range of items.

Printing money eventually causes prices to rise because there's more money in circulation but the same number of goods, thus the prices increase (eventually). It's a cause of inflation, not the cause.

This is usually called hotseat mode, that may help with searching. Polytopia and unciv both support this and are great turn based games.
