      There's a big difference between learning to solve problems on your own and learning to look up existing solutions. If you want to unlock your potential, learn the former. If you want to unlock AI's potential, teach it the former. The goal is to memorize as little as possible

      When I studied math and physics, I had big textbooks of practice problems. The tentation was always to jump to the solution section and memorize the method -- if you do it for enough problems, you should be able to pattern-match your way through any new problem, right? Wrong.

      It's much more effective to labor your way through your own original solution, and only look at the official solution afterwards. If you don't it, you'll be completely unprepared to approach something actually new

      The same is often true with research: try to reinvent first, look up the literature afterwards. If you want to be able to produce original thoughts, you need to create space for them to develop, instead of always filling up empty pockets of concept space with ready-made solutions

          💯 Naive, self-conceived attempts before you engage with established knowledge are my favorite and (for me personally) most effective way to learn.

          Fantastic! I used to teach students that nothing should be memorized. Everything can be derived. Then you know the potential and limitations of whatever you're using to solve problems. With invention, I can't count the number of things I've invented and found it already exists.

          As self-taught and inexperienced in a field, what seems hard to me is to know what previous knowledge you'll need to look for your own solutions, what'd be the starting point?

          That is so true! We are easily influenced by what we read and if memorised, it almost becomes a belief that is hard to shift afterwards. Memorised information is not always understood and it’s evident when it’s used out of context and leads to errors. Understanding is everything

          I think @Kurz_Gesagt explained recently how memory is part of the intelligence toolbox. Maybe you're being a little harsh on memory. It would be nearly impossible to solve any problem if everyone had to reinvent calculus in order to pass a physics class, don't you think?
