NEURAL NETWORKS. “We have to aggressively avoid interconnections and side effects (this is taken to an extreme in functional programming, where no side effects are allowed). We also struggle with parallel programming, such that very few people actually know how to do it well. Nature doesn’t give a shit about these limitations. The brain is a massively parallel pile of spaghetti code.”
