problem-solving

anansi ☀ @s0ulDirect0r — Jul 25 i have gotten so much mileage out of the "i notice i am confused" move Harry uses in HPMOR when i'm doing math problems. i get stuck, i notice my confusion, i state that to myself, then i just start it over and i find the answer. i love that shit.

François Chollet @fchollet Most people are conditioned to expect that all known problems already have canonical solutions, that these solutions are the best that can be achieved, and that attempting to reinvent them would be a pointless, quixotic effort. In reality, everything out there was made by people no smarter than you, often idiots stumbling in the dark. Not only can new solutions be found, but entirely new paradigms are absolutely possible, including ones that completely bypass the current tech tree. 12:55 AM · Jul 26, 2026 · 54.9K Views
