Very nice blogpost, thank you!
But this one part really grinds my gears:
I’ve learned through a never-ending process of building mental models, proving them to be wrong, and then adjusting those models to reflect new knowledge.
Is that not the definition of learning? It sounds weird to me to explain it redundantly like this, akin to: “I’ve walked 10 steps forward through a process of my neurons firing signals which cause contractions in the muscles of my body in a particular rhythmic way”
Or am I misunderstanding something?
Cheers
XKCD. Ten Thousand.
Do some people need to read a definition of learning to learn how learning works?
I thought the process is intuitively understood by everybody who has ever learned anything.
If that were the case, the scientific method would not exist.
Unfortunately this is not the case. A lot of people leave school assuming that scientific discoveries are eternal, unfailable truth that we just know to be true. Few ever understand how we acquired our knowledge and how to lewrn to understand it. Many assume you ‘just have to learn it’. Those your play around with computers or other stuff have an advantage. They know how to gain understanding not just how to learn facts.

Heyy thank you very much for sharing your thoughts and knowledge with us !!!
Very interesting and the write up is easy to follow up ! That’s the kind of cool blogpost we will be missing when the internet will be dead brained and flooded with AI shit…
Will you integrate an RSS feed to your blogposts? So I could get your feeds directly into my RSS feeder? 😁
It looks like there is one here:
Not my blog, just sharing it here. Saw it on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40419325)
There’s modern terminals?
I think we call them thin clients now.
Yeah, they’re mostly bits of hardware that turn ttl/serial into a USB device. Then you can use minicom or dterm to connect to the host. Mostly used for embedded development, but also useful for debugging servers that are not connecting to the network without having to lug a keyboard and screen.
After they’re connected, if they speak vt110, your terminal emulator can display everything properly
Do you know what a terminal is?
Yeah. But the article describes terminal emulators.
hahaah. Ok sure you win. Linux TTY’s are absolutely not terminals. Sure they are called terminals, they are for all intents and purposes modern-day terminals with a long and storied history that directly links them to terminals from the 70’s but since they aren’t a physical piece of hardware that electro-mechanically connects to a mainframe, obviously they aren’t really terminals and they should be be called something else.
