Re:What Medieval People Got Right About Learning (2019) on Wednesday August 13, 2025 @10:42PM (#44896223)

Don't look down on Scott Young - he has written about interesting things and in my opinion is a great author. Don't knock him until you have read some of his work.

For example he wrote this: "How Do We Learn Complex Skills? Understanding ACT-R Theory"[0] (ACT-R[1] is written in Common Lisp for HN people).
