Comment on Andrej Karpathy on learning (should never be fun)parent

Comments

That's exactly what he suggests doing. Taking the time, pausing, trying it out, etc. What you're describing is how he believes videos should be produced/watched, and not a 10 minute "5 tips for drawing like a master" video.

I see myself watching a lot of edutainment videos that, if asked about them a week from now, I won't know any of it. Regardless, when I was watching it, it felt like I was learning something, which is very far from the reality.

Where is he saying that?

He says "seek the meal - the textbooks, docs, papers, manuals, longform."

I'm saying you can actually use some of those edutainment 'learn X in 10 minutes' type things, if you actually practice the thing. And especially if you hit problems or have questions, which will lead to a deeper exploration.
