On: Learning Theory from First Principles [pdf]

Ypur idea would become even better so if you read the book yourself... You might even learn something new along the way.

we are optimizing for time here, not learning. I'm gonna die anyways and anything I learn will be dust. If I just need the info to make something work, spending months (of which I have limited number of) to see if something has something useful in it for me vs. spending and afternoon to probe it to get most of the benefits is a no-brainer.

Maybe, but dont expect otherwise from a book explicitly named "Learning Theory from First principles", not "learn large language models in 21 days".
