Rereading books

news.ycombinator.com Max Girkins 2025-09-14 23:08:55

How arrogant would you have to be to think you’ve gained everything from a book on your first reading? A wildly intelligent friend once said this to me and it struck home. A seemingly obvious point I’d ignored for years changed my approach to reading in a way that has considerably improved my life. If you already reread books regularly, feel free to skip this. If you’re like the old me who thought “Why would I reread a book when there are so many amazing books I haven’t yet read” then read on.

Does the Bitter Lesson Have Limits?

news.ycombinator.com Drew Breunig 2025-12-10 03:21:29

Recently, “the bitter lesson” is having a moment. Coined in an essay by Rich Sutton, the bitter lesson is that, “general methods that leverage computation are ultimately the most effective, and by a large margin.” Why is the lesson bitter? Sutton writes: The bitter lesson is based on the historical observations that 1) AI researchers have often tried to build knowledge into their agents, 2) this always helps in the short term, and is personally satisfying to the researcher, but 3) in the long r
