Is there any pattern to how you come to find the extensive writing about X? Is it incidental as you research other things or is it a direct result of discovering X that now you have the concepts that lead you to reading about it?
Not that I’m aware of sometimes it’s pure coincidence whilst searching for unrelated things, other times I remember some old context out of nowhere, or if I am looking into adjacent topics, which leads me to stumble upon it. Nowadays AI can also help, but I’m currently bad at prompt engineering.
I’m a bad prompt engineer myself and I get quite envious when people announce these amazing results they are getting from the LLM which feel like pulling teeth from a chicken to me.
The reason I ask is because if it is more a matter of incidental as you research other things, I was wondering if there’s in a sense a way of reverse engineering that process of recognizing it after the fact?
I don’t think I have observed any patterns, it could be due to low past written record of such process or a bound set by working-memory/intelligence. From next time I will take note when such incidents happen.
