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

Comments

I don’t disagree, but gamification of practice sessions isn’t a bad idea. I’ve always been very bad at focusing on some tasks and sucked at school.

Nowadays I can force myself to learn topics that I don’t care too much about by dividing it into tasks, and “levels” that leads me to feel that I’m making progress on a classic progress bar type interface.

LLMs are pretty good for this, they help a lot with coming up with targets and such.
