The problem with Meta is the same as the problem in any mega corporation at that scale -- warped incentives.
The incentive to spend all your time politicking your way up the massive corporate ladder outweighs the incentive to improve the actual product: https://mentalmodels4life.net/2021/01/04/safi-bahcalls-innov...
There's even an equation that describes this phenomenon
Thanks for the link, it is a good read.
But these days, you have advanced 600MHz microcontrollers with simple GPUs, and full-featured CPUs which get used as an embedded platform. You can even build a Linux kernel for no-MMU platforms.
It's a fuzzy line.
One is note-taking - if you know your topic well, you'll be able to speed read many books in your field because you're familiar with the underlying patterns, and making handwritten notes about what's different (or little code snippets embodying edge cases, or similar) will help enormously. The great thing about notes is that they're just for you so you can be as opinionated as you like about what's important and omit context. Even if your notes turn out to be wrong or superficial, they'll still function well for information retrieval when you go back to them (possibly with updates).
The other, which I've found very helpful with topics I don't know well where I'm trying to get a grip on the fundamentals, is to visualize future me teaching the material to someone else. As I think I've grasped a concept, I think about delivering a lecture with the confidence of my new understanding. This opens up space for other parts of my brain to ask questions or challenge assumptions, which I then try to address with the knowledge I've accrued thus far. If I can't, then I didn't really get it and I need to go through the material again.
A small but delicious bonus of this technique is when you do grasp the concept well and then encounter your imaginary question and best-effort answer on a subsequent page, or even in a subsequent book.
Democratising education is the only way this place will improve. The remote learner in a remote village should have the same "right-for-education" as a candidate in an urban centre.
I really do believe that you can connect the dots only looking backward, so here is hoping that what is learnt will come to fruition someday. 22^f-300-1.689 in case you know what I am saying
