Hotkeys on websites feel both good and bad. I like them when I want to use them (YouTube playback controls) but on most sites it's usually a problem. If you start typing while not in an input you might have made 10 semi-unknown changes to something that you need to reverse.
The the words it uses that this site has seen least often elsewhere. Posts are matched on those words alone — nothing here is a summary of this one.

The problem is that "number of recalls" is a terrible metric because we don't know what we don't know.

Their words
if you are good at finding valuable unknown truths then it means you're going to know a lot of things other people don't know. And if you know a lot of things that other people don't know it means you can do a lot of things that other people can't do.

The Power of MythTheir words
I discovered Campbell's work during that great transitional period of my life (in my early 30s, when I left the wrong career and the wrong relationship, and set sail into the unknown) and it has been a mainstay ever since.

Um and uh I think we would very rapidly abandon any cryptography based on the primes because if there was a one pattern that we didn't know about there's probably more.

We don't we don't really know what information they had prior. We are we have to guess because they've been fed so much. This is one reason why they're not a good way to do science. Uh it's just so uncontrolled, so unknown.

Biology keeps turning up whole classes of things nobody knew existed, and that is what defeats attempts to model it.Their words
The "unknown unknown" problem makes hash (in retrospect) of many attempts at biological theorizing and modeling, and I think that this problem will still accrue to ML models until we know an awful lot more.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
