> Retyping things is inefficient for learning. It's like trying to retype calculus solutions

Says who? You're saying this unequivocally like you have research that supports this.

I used to re-write the notes I took for studying and it was like night and day for how well I did on tests. IT also gave me a chance to tighten the information I was receiving. And it's exactly what's happening here.

OC out here denying the actual learning and reinforcement research because of vibes

  • It’s very common here on HN from the threads I’ve engaged in - everybody has an idea how learning works but it’s usually based on perceived personal experience and not actual research. I.e. you’re completely right with calling it vibe learning.

  • I had to re-read it a few times to make sure I was actually interpreting it correctly because I couldn't believe someone would make a claim like that for everyone.
