From many research paper i skimmed ( without llm, from youtube videos though :p) i understand its the friction of not understanding and then getting +/- feedback faster with lots of iteration helps us learn fast. But for knowledge work it seems very hard as there isnt any verifier that can give me the mental mode that will evolve/extend my current mental model.
One feedback mechanism can be testing myself on the topic but software engineering related tasks are pretty hard to do without expermiemnt and experience.
this gives me a question like when would our brain think its time to evolve from handwritting to typing and then typing to Brain computer interface so that we can write at the speed of thought?
Made an interactive map/index of the posts, linked by related topics. I made it to make the series easier to browse by concept instead of only by day number.

Ask HN: Critical thinking system prompt for ChatGPT, Claude etc.
Anyone made any system prompts for ChatGPT, Claude etc llms where it will let you think critically and improve your analytical abilities and thought process by being a genuinely interested partner/debate/devils advocate/research scientist?Like it will help me think critically/out of the box/ creatively and broaden my horizons rather than answering like a sycophant?
These worked really great for our usecase where we needed to transcribe from 6 different languages in production
Ask HN: Is learnig just pattern matching and project known patterns to find new
I am trying to study ML/AI and the more I dive into it to teach these models to recognize stuff and generate stuff, this question came to my mind like is the process of learning and synthesizing information to knowledge and wisdom is just pattern matching? We use other patterns to find new pattern and try to fit novel stuff into those known patterns? or extend those pattern?just some rumbling...
I want to learn enough mathematics that will help me to understand and learn about ML/AI and newer research and furthermore quantum computing.
Is that even possible? If so which topics I can target first? That will help me refactor and rebuild my foundational mathematical knowledge
I truly understand it takes unreasonable amount of time and dedicated focused effort to get good at something. But why is there any explanation for it? I know about the traditional neuro-sci explanation of myelin[1].
So my question is, is there any research on how to reduce this time? Like we all know life is short and as human we have interest in many things and we should specialize and try to go deep in one craft.But is there any way of getting closed to that master level performance in short practice-perfomance cycle
