Beyond Books? quantum computing intro

Hanselminutes Technology Podcast - Fresh Air and Fresh Perspectives for Developers - Creating Tools for Thought with Andy Matuschak

Andy Matuschak is an independent researcher who explores user interfaces that expand what people can think and do. He sits down with Scott to talk about how we learn, why we learn, and what learning means in a world of AI and AGI.

Why books donʼt work | Andy Matuschak
including "Why lectures don’t work"

"Books are easy to take for granted. Not any specific book, I mean: the form of a book. Paper or pixels—it hardly matters. Words in lines on pages in chapters. And at least for non-fiction books, one implied assumption at the foundation: people absorb knowledge by reading sentences. This last idea so invisibly defines the medium that it’s hard not to take for granted, which is a shame because, as we’ll see, it’s quite mistaken..."






"The most powerful books reach beyond their pages—beyond those few hours in which they’re read—and indelibly transform how serious readers see the world. Few books achieve such transcendent impact, yet given their physical constraints, it’s remarkable that any do. As a medium, books have no direct means of communicating with readers over time. The physical text is stuck on the page, generally read linearly and continuously in a few sittings.

To be transformed by a book, readers must do more than absorb information: they must bathe in the book’s ideas, relate those ideas to experiences in their lives over weeks and months, try on the book’s mental models like a new hat."
