    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 run it plateaus and even inhibits further progress, and
    4. breakthrough progress eventually arrives by an opposing approach based on scaling computation by search and learning.

We love to see the process, not just the result. The imperfections in your work can be beautiful if they show your struggle for perfection, not a lack of care. — ralphammer

I've often described my motivation for building software to others using imagery: I like to go find a secluded beach, build a large, magnificent sand castle, and then walk away. Will anyone notice? Probably not. Will the waves eventually destroy it? Yep. Did I still get immense satisfaction? Absolutely. — aliasxneo

Simplicity, even if it sacrifices some ideal functionality has better survival characteristics than the-right-thing. — The Rise of Worse is Better

Roberto Blake was talking about making 100 crappy videos to get better over time. Putting in the reps and improving a little bit each time.

Putting in the work without expecting any external reward at first (eg views, followers, likes, etc) will pay off in the long run. — 100 Scrappy Things

A good match is a structured dance, where players aim to score while they are following well-defined rules. This freedom within a structure is what makes it fun. — ralphammer

“Motivation often comes after starting, not before. Action produces momentum.” — James Clear

Focus is more about not keeping busy when you need to wait for something.
Eat the boredom for a minute.

• Don't workout at all (saves anywhere from 20 to 60 minutes, but really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really not recommended)

도무지 읽히지 않는 책 앞에서 내가 택한 방법은 펼쳐진 페이지 앞에서 멍때리기이다. 다르게 표현하면 이렇다. 펼쳐진 두 페이지 앞에서 오래 머물기.

책을 펼쳐놓는 것으로 충분하다. 읽지 못해도 좋다. 매일 정해진 진도를 나가야 하는 학교 수업이 아니니까. 하지만 읽지 않아도 괜찬다고 해서 펼쳐두지조차 않으면 곤란하다. 가능한 한 자주 책을 펼쳐두도록 하자. 전혀 읽지 않고 멍하니 바라보고 있다가 다시 덮게 되더라도 — 막막한 독서. 시로군. P.10~13

I think it should be everyone's primary focus to sleep well, drink water, get outside, get active, and eat generally decently. I hate to say it, but if you're not eating a good amount of vegetables and fruit, decent protein, sleep, etc, no amount of XYZ will catch up to that detriment. — CE02

My real battle is doing good versus doing nothing. — Deirdre Sullivan

Sometimes magic is just someone spending more time on something than anyone else might reasonably expect. — Teller

Before leaving for the day I leave a comment in code: I’m working on this, need to do A, B C… to get it working. — makz
