Something from Andrej Karpathy on learning that stuck with me [0]: > Learning is not supposed to be fun. It doesn't have to be actively not fun either, but the primary feeling should be that of effort. It should look a lot less like that "10 minute full body" workout from your local digital media creator and a lot more like a serious session at the gym. You want the mental equivalent of sweating. It's not that the quickie doesn't do anything, it's just that it is wildly suboptimal if you actually care to learn. [0] x.com/karpathy/status/17563800665804555…

call me a cynic. but I am pretty sure this is a mostly AI written repo. > Learning is not supposed to be fun.

i made a similar reply, linking to the ideas of flow state etc [1]. i dont know why you'd chase the feeling of effort, surely you'd avoid the feeling of effort where possible without reducing learning [1] x.com/vanjajaja1/status/175642600061399…
