Inspiring. I would love for the author's plan (pasted below) to get applied widely across key information sources:
Instead, I hatched a plan:
1. Collect sources, and encoded the raw data in a machine-readable form
2. Study those sources, and encode my understanding as assertions,
sanity-checks and validations of that data
3. Synthesise that data according to my understanding, and verify it
against the sources available
- kreelman 3y agoThanks for reposting this here. I think I work in a similar way to this, but I've not written it down as a "manifesto" before like Simon has. I'm going to be thinking about this as the Discovery Manifesto.... or maybe the autodidactaliser. I've found it useful to reexpress foreign knowledge in a familiar setting. The magic is possibly that the learning seems fun because the familiar tool is fairly easy to use and the new information is expressed in the familiar way. It's also good because it's not cheap dopamine, like looking over Youtube videos.... I watched a video on the 6502... I know how it works now??.. Youtubes do have their place, but not at the expense of doing more in depth thinking.
- gardaani 3y agoThe last step should be: 4. Get a real 6502 CPU and verify that the data is correct.
