hacksoi··on Fraud, so much fraud
If people can get away with it, they will do it. Rules and punishments for breaking them exist for a reason.
hacksoi··on A Simpler Alternative to Neural Nets
Yeah, people like to see cool things, can't blame them.
hacksoi··on A Simpler Alternative to Neural Nets
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.

hacksoi··on Show HN: AI climbing coach – visualize how to climb any route based on your body
You can use it after you do the climb to see if there is a more optimal solution.
hacksoi··on Show HN: I Invented a New Machine Learning Algorithm
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.
hacksoi··on Show HN: I Invented a New Machine Learning Algorithm
Seeing how you think "tail recursion " is relevant when it isn't, it's more likely that you don't actually understand the algorithm.
hacksoi··on Show HN: I Invented a New Machine Learning Algorithm
Tail recursion is completely irrelevant to this algorithm.
hacksoi··on GPT-Prompt-Engineer
Are we really going down this path of prompt-prompt-engineering?
hacksoi··on Ask HN: How do you not take criticism of your work personally?
Set your goal correctly. Your goal isn't to be flawless, it's to produce optimal output. I think looking at criticism through that lens will help.
hacksoi··on Ask HN: How did you rebuild yourself after having hit rock bottom?
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.
hacksoi··on A practical comparison of build and test speed between C++ and Rust
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.
hacksoi··on Ask HN: What are some of the best podcasts for developers?
OP wanted to know why his podcast was failing and I told him. I'm not obligated to provide a solution.
hacksoi··on Ask HN: What are some of the best podcasts for developers?
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.

The vast majority of us are English speakers.
hacksoi··on Getting Out of a Rut
You're not being challenged in a meaningful way. Find a more challenging job.
hacksoi··on Ask HN: Why don't I see gold at the end of the remote working rainbow?
He's asking why you prefer WFH and you didn't answer him.
hacksoi··on Tell HN: Beware 'Ungrowth' in Your Job
Typical worst case scenario thinking that prevents you from even trying.
hacksoi··on Tell HN: Beware 'Ungrowth' in Your Job
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.

This isn't about computers
hacksoi··on Tell HN: I have the perfect job, why is it not enough?
> shipped an indie game that was an expression of myself

I've been trying to find games that are personal to the developer (I'm actually trying to make one now). What's the name of your game?

hacksoi··on The Lobster Programming Language
#include causes the preprocessor to replace it with the specified file. Why is that bad?

> And that difference only exists to support the single player vs multiplayer dynamic

Maybe the single player vs multiplayer difference only exists to support the different tail mechanics.
