You need to post some credentials for someone to believe your techniques here work.

What a horrible thing to say. Appeal to authority on "hacker" news. Really?

I mean, it would also be nice to see at least a single link or reference... At least the July 2nd article didn't have a single reference in it.

That's what snake oil salesmen said while clutching at their precious pearls. How dare anyone ask them to substantiate their claims?

Posting credentials and substantiating claims are two different things.

Are they, though? I mean, there are neither credentials nor claim substantiation.

Assuming good faith, It’s possible to ask for references and citations without being rude and unwelcoming.

“Hi, interesting work! Do you have any other recommended reading on $SUBJECT?”

For real, Richard's mommy doesn't let them date people she hasn't vetted before.

Alas, who are we to blame, him or his mother?

This is a little too close to Learning How to Learn by Dr Oakley. You might have a copyright violation FYI.

don't get me wrong, I like the content, but this feels intentionally close.

While they're enforcing copyrights they should go after this https://arxiv.org/abs/1812.00971

And this udemy course https://www.udemy.com/course/learning-to-learn/?couponCode=S...

or maybe this other udemy course actually https://www.udemy.com/course/learning-how-to-learn-with-the-...

and this https://www.lifehack.org/691373/learn-how-to-learn-how-to-un...

or what about this https://todoist.com/inspiration/learning-new-skill

or how about the fact that the UK national education syllabus has an entire subject and framework called "Learning to learn" https://www.education-ni.gov.uk/articles/learning-learn Is that too close?

etc etc

You couldn't possibly enforce a copyright on this - it's an incredibly common usage and I'm sure that it was around before Dr Oakley since it is just literally the plain meaning of the words.

Looks interesting, but the AI images coupled with the title's weird proximity to an extremely well known book gives off a bit of a bad scent frankly.
