I made the direct comparison to neural nets as it uses a very similar method to them (i.e. using weights as parameters and minimizing a cost function via gradient descent) but is simpler (gets rid of layers, neurons, activation functions, etc).
I never stated "AGI means solving polynomials". Based on how far LLMs have come, function approximation seems to play a role in it.
Tail recursion is when the recursive call is last in a function; this algorithm uses breadth-first search to simultaneously 1. search the space of inputs and outputs 2. find the smallest set out of outputs to reach a reward. Again, tail recursion is completely irrelevant.
I overcame a weak sense of self by learning to draw boundaries. I can't stress how important this is. When you have weak boundaries, you let others control your life. Learn to draw clear boundaries that must never be crossed. I recommend googling the problem.
Rust's only selling point is the way it tries to solve memory errors, but it's based on a style of memory management that is inferior. There are other styles that prevent such errors from occurring in the first place.
Bro you sound like a robot. Absolutely zero charisma. There are plenty of other podcasts out there with more entertaining personalities with the same content.
Your job should be your identity. You do it 8 hours a day. Your growth is extremely important. Ideally your job aligns with your values. If you haven't found this job yet you should keep searching. Do not complicate this with "economic arrangements" - you're just afraid.
