"<a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymcOLL2qEg8&amp;t=16m45s"">16:45</a> - can someone explain what he says here? that everything we do there's a 'local maximum'?",(reply>), @hoxha bunker I mean that's literally what he says. You only need to take what you understand from what I said, if relating it to yoga doesn't make sense, you'll probably understand it from a different perspective that's present in that comment,(reply>), No matter what you do, it's the best you could do given your circumstances and memory at the time. If you born a few years later and read a few different articles the result would be different (better, usually, hence the local maximum as opposed to a global maximum. In a world of changing tech there's no global max yet, for anything). Or you could become a yogi and learn to decouple your memory and rebuild from pure intelligence, like elon does. You still have to do that constantly to make sure you're not outdated or stuck in your memory/experience
