I don't like the term "money is a shared illusion" (as it misguides the real concept), money is the materialization of credit. The history of money is pretty long to this comment, but to summarize: money is the idea that someone owns you some amount of resources (work/material/etc), and as the society agreed with this common denominator (money), so the society also owns you some amounts of resources.
Price formation (or price system) consider a lot of things, geographical resources, comparative advantages, technology and many more, all this k...

Usually the RandomSearchCV, I've tryied the bayesian optimization from skopt, but empirically I did not see advantages in this over random search, not sure if I used it wrong, someone with good results?
The sample efficiency is not a formal claim, like, RL algorithms are claimed to be sample inefficient as only takes 10 games of Pacman to a human get good at it, but we can't isolate this knowledge in human brain. The point a human learns to play Pacman it already learned many things, like GPT-3, and we don't know what things contribute to playing Pacman, is it motor skills? spacial skills? Knowing all the skills that enable human to play Pacman in only ten games and passing this as a pre-training for the RL algorithm then training it to play Pacman would be a fair comparison of how sample efficient it is. The same applies for the names example, could we really measure how many times a human heard a name or maybe a similar name?
