More Dakka

TagLast edit: 4 Feb 2021 5:21 UTC by Yoav Ravid

More Dakka is the technique of throwing more resources at a problem to see if you get better results.

Originally, More Dakka is the trope of solving problems by unloading as many rounds of ammunition at them as possible. In the rationalist community it was popularized by Zvi to have the above meaning.
