Wasn't up for a while, but its there now.
Cockshott is a terf, and I hate that he is one of the best in the field of economic planning, but this book was interesting. Now you can read it without paying him lol

I saw you mentioned Towards a New Socialism elsewhere in the thread, do you remember the section where he talks about using an iterative algorithm to approximate gaussian elimination?
It's also interesting to think of ML as a way of circumventing Gaussian elimination, I guess it makes some sense but I've always thought of it as a minimization algorithm for some loss function and nothing else.
He's mentioned tensor flows and machine learning in his work before.
He also has an implementation called New Harmony written in Julia you can mess with.
Oh yeah, and the ML stuff would never replace raw gaussian elimination. It's just more time efficient if you know what end state you're looking for. It would just be a tool for planners, not a planning system. Kinda like when you have render previews in 3D modeling software to get a general idea of what you need to add to make a scene lol right.
