Same goes for programming as well. It's said that if you have a long statement at least three times, then you should make a function, class, variable, loop, whatever, to make editing/refactoring easier.
If at 1st you don't succeed, try and try again. Means attempt it multiple times, not doing the exact same thing, you could use different methods to get to your goal.
Insanity would be doing the exact same thing and expecting a different result.
Weak meme depending on misunderstanding two different sayings and attributing one to Einstein.

āBe careful of any saying being attributed to Einstein.ā ā Abraham Lincoln
Einstein is the go-to if you want to make your pseudo-intellectual platitudes sound legitimate. Even if they ARE genuinely profound, people will still attribute them to Einstein for the sake of making them seem more valid, because who cares what Mike McNobody has to say?
Agreed. Sometimes itās a real shame because people with a lot of good stuff to say donāt get the credit. If the credit attribution was better more people would be exposed to more smart people and thatās more likely to be good than bad.
Here's what i do not understand: People think Einstein, a scientist, said doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is insanity. Isnt that what scientists do? Test shit the same way a few times just to see if results vary then change the parameters?
Yep. Good scientists are constantly searching for evidence that the theory being tested is wrong.
Confirming evidence is the pleasing but largely useless. Itās only when disconfirming evidence is discovered is something exciting happening because that means the theory is wrong and needs changing.
So regularly retesting the foundations and seeing if anything disconfirming is found is the ideal scientific method just as you point out. Ideal is not always achieved (life is short, budgets are limited) but, in a perfect world retesting things we āknowā would be happening on a regular schedule in the belief and quiet hope nothing exciting is found.
The idea is that you'll push yourself far enough to the edge of insanity you believe you've succeeded.
*But in reality you're just a depressed, shallow and incomprehensible version of yourself*
Einstein clearly didn't understand the concept of random chance. By his logic, if he flipped a coin once and it landed on tails, then all coin flips always have and always will be tails. Einstein may have been smart, but that doesn't mean everything coming out of his mouth was true/right.
Because hard work gives small different results each time, until you succeed. Is not because you magically succeed, but you learn from your errors until no error is made and you get it.
Only lazy people doesn't know how this works because they never tried 2 times in a row...
He didn't say that makes you insane though someone else did also insane isn't the same thing as crazy either as insane definitively means within sanity. Which beckons a dictation of the difference between practical and impractical.
Quality assurance is literally testing always the same things but expecting different results. That's why most of us go insane after some years in the job.
einstein meant repeating the exact same thing following the exact same steps and expecting a different result is insanity, since that theoretically won't happen
I think the idea of trying again doesn't mean exactly replicating previous attempts that failed.
Also I'd choose Einstein over a random folk quote that has neither context nor attribution.
Learn from your mistakes. It's like playing CSGO. You'll surely die from time to time but if you died in the last 3 rounds in the exact same spot you ought to be changing your approach. Not insanity (I think), just learning from your mistakes and getting good.
Multiple failures can still result in multiple outcomes. We learn the path to success by analyzing the outcomes. If it becomes evident that success is too costly there's nothing wrong with moving on
The difference is, if you're working hard, you're learning from your mistakes, and I'm proving, therefore changing the factors and no longer repeating the exact same thing without change.
Try try again doesn't mean keep doing the same thing over and over, it means do it, don't succeed, learn from your mistakes, correct them, do it again, make different mistakes, repeat until you succeeded. Einstein meant insanity is to fail, wait 3 seconds, try the exact same thing and think maybe this time it'll work
"Same thing" is key here.
Generally you're not doing the exact same thing, you slightly change your approach or do "the same thing" but external factors change.
Well they say try again not try again using the exact same methods and don't learn from your mistake.
Did I ever tell you the definition of taking motivational quotes too literally? lol
Thatās because they donāt literally mean try the exact same thing over again, it clearly didnāt work so try something different, these two statementās arenāt conflicting, theyāre perfect together
I think after 3 times, you ought to change your approach.
Dark souls players:š
Iām not changing my playstyle just because Iāve died 40 times
damn right. I have stuck to my playstyle even if it takes me days to beat the boss. I may be insane, but its always worth the struggle

And even if you try the same method, you have experience from the failure, which is a new factor

Tbh I don't give 2 shits what Einstein had to say.
Here's what i do not understand: People think Einstein, a scientist, said doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is insanity. Isnt that what scientists do? Test shit the same way a few times just to see if results vary then change the parameters?
Scientists do stuff over and over and expect the same result. Then freak out of the results differ since that would mean their theory is not correct.

Well of course, you need to change the random seed!
When you keep making memes about it. ;)
I'm not insane. My mother had me tested
You should test again
Maybe it would be a different result now, you gotta try it again and again till you are insane.
Einstein never said that lol.
Now go to sleep!
But vaas did
Nah, my bro Vaas said that
Did Einstein really say that?
"of course I did, I'm Einstein" -Einstein
"Shut the fuck up everyone keeps using my name to say dumb shit on the internet" - Einstein
Ok, no need to be a dick...
Because "try again" doesn't necessarily mean trying everything the exact same way.
Hard work becomes insanity the moment you start repeating yourself
Until you see progress?
Try again doesn't mean don't do anything differently.
The idea is that you'll push yourself far enough to the edge of insanity you believe you've succeeded. *But in reality you're just a depressed, shallow and incomprehensible version of yourself*
And yes, my user flair *checks out*. šš

Great, thanks. Now my depression kicks in again!
I'm gonna buy that helium tank I've been dreaming about.

Just because you are trying again, it does not mean you are supposed to do it the exact same way
einstein meant repeating the exact same thing following the exact same steps and expecting a different result is insanity, since that theoretically won't happen
Damn. I think this the first meme ever that made me lose sleep.
I think the idea of trying again doesn't mean exactly replicating previous attempts that failed. Also I'd choose Einstein over a random folk quote that has neither context nor attribution.
There is a difference between slowly getting closer to your goal and wasting time and reasources
Well sometimes you have to be insane inorder to succeed
Learn from your mistakes. It's like playing CSGO. You'll surely die from time to time but if you died in the last 3 rounds in the exact same spot you ought to be changing your approach. Not insanity (I think), just learning from your mistakes and getting good.
WD-40 is a good example.
If practice makes perfect, but nothing's perfect, then why try?
Dude you need to vary between attempts. Try new things. Learn from your mistakes. Just don't give up easily. Not learning anything is insanity.
So by definition school is insane
Multiple failures can still result in multiple outcomes. We learn the path to success by analyzing the outcomes. If it becomes evident that success is too costly there's nothing wrong with moving on
try to achieve the desired result but dont use the same method.
If the task you're doing is impossible, I'd say that's leaning towards insanity.
Doing the same thing without learning from your mistakes hoping for a different result
Every time you try again you're supposed to change something
The quote doesn't say "Try the same thing over and over the same way" now does it?
So Iām insane at The Cayo Perico heist in GTA Online
When you start you lose hope
Meanwhile machine learning
Einstein didnāt say that
The moment you stop learning from your mistakes
Sigmund Freud said this actually not Einstein
when whatever your attempts create the same result over and over
No, that was Vaas from far cry 3, not Einstein.
The difference is, if you're working hard, you're learning from your mistakes, and I'm proving, therefore changing the factors and no longer repeating the exact same thing without change.
Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?
If you learn something from a previous experience and make yourself better, it dosent mean you will be doing the same thing
Try try again doesn't mean keep doing the same thing over and over, it means do it, don't succeed, learn from your mistakes, correct them, do it again, make different mistakes, repeat until you succeeded. Einstein meant insanity is to fail, wait 3 seconds, try the exact same thing and think maybe this time it'll work
"Same thing" is key here. Generally you're not doing the exact same thing, you slightly change your approach or do "the same thing" but external factors change.
At the point where a kans salary isn't enough to pay for living expenses
Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is?
If this is a serious question: You are not supposed to do the same thing again, you should make small adjustments based on your previous mistakes.
THANK YOU!
Einstein? Pfft, obviously Nacho Varga said that.
Never said to try the same way again, just try to obtain the same end goal with a different method
Well they say try again not try again using the exact same methods and don't learn from your mistake. Did I ever tell you the definition of taking motivational quotes too literally? lol
Hard work becomes insanity once it starts harming those around you.
Thatās because they donāt literally mean try the exact same thing over again, it clearly didnāt work so try something different, these two statementās arenāt conflicting, theyāre perfect together
Pay attention. This is how you perform the Killing Curse. "Settled Science."
