Yes, I do this more for the math and the algorithms than for advice for humans.
Still, the advice is perhaps not so trivial: study not what you’re most uncertain about (highest entropy given what you know) but those things with entropy generated by what you care about. And even this advice is incomplete—there’s more to come.
This one was fun for the math. Thank you. The practical advice is pretty prosaic—study the things you’re most uncertain about.
Well, thank you!
