   the awkward nature of showing off only your greatest hits, vs just showing everything.
   
   i think the latter is more human. the former makes people really sad because they start thinking pro's are just factories of perfect works 24/7 and in reality.. they fail a lot. :blobcatgoogly:

     @icedquinn But my question is intended as a more general one too

     Everyone knows that The Secret to Success™ is a lot of practice, yet the discourse on how to gather the required spoons to do the sessions itself is basically nowhere
     People just kinda assume that one can conjure the spoons out of thin air, but as far as I understand it that is not true too

     So from here it just feels rather absurd; as much as people like to say that innate talent is "bullshit", so to say, for all I know some people really have the innate talent to gather and store a lot of spoons quickly, meanwhile I'm cursed with a slow, low-storage spoon collecting system :02lurk:

     @koakuma or the college grading scale
     C <- you bothered to read the book
     B <- you even studied it
     A <- overfit to test

     @koakuma if you want to be the best you have to overfit to the problem, yes.

     @icedquinn So can't help it if you're the low-spoon-storage type people then :akkosad:

     @icedquinn How does one gather the required amount of spoons to play, much less lose, that many times? :cirnothinking:

     @koakuma innate talent exists but people give it too much credit. if you throw enough randomly initialized neural networks out there, some of them will be more suited to a given task than others.
     
     they're still omnicomputers it's not like you can't teach them to do it anyway.
     
     it does take persistence, and its deliberate practice not 'just' practice hours. 1,000 hours of the same task doesn't do much (i would know, i did the thousand cube drawing challenge.)
