The problem with Noobs on the Internet
The problem with Noobs on the Internet and why we have so many unhappy audiophiles [Ha! Thought I was going to talk about Noobs and politics didn’t you 🙂 Or reviewers. Or colleagues at work. Or your kids. Or… yep, this is pretty universal human behavior].
I guess there should be a follow up with how mass populations believe everything they hear in a new  technological medium when it is new, but slowly get ‘inoculated’ against all the same-old dirty tricks and misinformation and become immune there, just like they are in the old mediums. I mean, who believes TV commercials anymore, or You Have Won $1000000! letters in the mail [where is Ed McMahon when you need him 🙂 Maybe that is him at the door right now!!! Got to go!].
[Nope. Wasn’t him].
Maybe, just maybe, those new amps didn’t blow ANYONE away – maybe someone just wants to get your attention because they are lonely. Or they just want to think ‘made you look’.
What a world 🙂
Found the chart above in a course on Machine Learning. Neli and I are at the part of the graph where we think we know about 50% of what there is to know. 🙂 [Hey, it is a VERY new science. Not much to it ;-)]
Interesting observations on the learning cycle!
And then there is the later phase when you start forgetting what you once knew.
Fortunately, the implication of the rising “how much more there is to know” curve is that it really doesn’t matter that much anyway.
Hi Joe 🙂
I like it! The forgetting curve can then demonstrably illustrate the ‘forgotten more than you know’ truism.
If, “how much there is to know”, you are referring to the fact that knowledge in any given field soon advances faster than the ability of any human to keep up -Elon Musk and others are working on brain augmentation hardware+software will allow us to do a better job. Can’t tell you how many times per day I wish I could ‘google’ my own memories. 😉
