two "levers" that can improve retention

if a model assumes that peopledo not optimize and then that model purports to produces some predictable pattern, thenthat pattern can often be exploited by someone who does optimize. Or at a minimum, bysomeone who as read the model. For this reason, many economists believe that any modelthat does not assume rationality lacks coherence

So, while one good test of a model is not only whether itcan generate the thing that it set out to explain, another is whether it can explain or predictother related phenomena

You need a different checklist and different mental models for different companies. I can never make it easy by saying, ‘Here are three things.’ You have to derive it yourself to ingrain it in your head for the rest of your life.”

Well, the first rule is that you’ve got to have multiple models ‑ because if you just have one or two that you’re using, the nature of human psychology is such that you’ll torture reality so that it fits your models, or at least you’ll think it does.”

Well, the first rule is that you can’t really know anything if you just remember isolated facts and try and bang ‘em back. If the facts don’t hang together on a latticework of theory, you don’t have them in a usable form.

If you get into the mental habit of relating what you’re reading to the basic structure of the underlying ideas being demonstrated, you gradually accumulate some wisdom.

The trick is to have your brain work better than the other person’s brain because it understands the most fundamental models: ones that will do most work per unit

I think it is undeniably true that the human brain must work in models

And whatever vehicle people pick it tells you where their fears lie. Did you pick your business? Money is your fear. Did you pick your wife? Losing your life is scary for you.

Connection and Love Tony Robbins says that everyone needs connection and love. Love is a bit scary though so most people settle for connection which you can get with intimacy, walk in nature.. Again, you can meet this need in positive ways, negative ways or empowering/disempowering ones

Certainty Anthony Robbins says you can get certainty in ways which are positive, negative, disempowering

Tony Robbins says there are 3 levels at which people evaluate things: the targets (driving human forces: top 2 needs of 6 human needs), the guiding force (global/identity beliefs, so you know how they meet their needs); fuel of choice (the top emotions people experience).

Your story will change their emotions, their focus.

Anthony Robbins says Change often happens when we least expect it. Example, a tragedy strikes, and then we quickly change. And it happens more easily when we’re in a trance

This is because the output of the strided layer still does represent the same image. It is not so much cropping as it is resizing, only thing is that each single pixel in the output is a “representative” of a larger area (of whose other pixels were discarded) from the same rough location from the original input. So when the next layer’s kernel operates on the output, it’s operating on pixels collected from a larger area

rom the start to the end of the network, while the number of channels grow deeper

because the kernel itself is applied across the entire image, the features the kernel learns must be general enough to come from any part of the image
