oh i thought this would be about language and how the brain works, that article sounds more interesting to be honest sorry

Production is different from reception.<p>Compare the ease with which you recognize a bicycle and the difficulty of drawing one.<p>It’s not the mechanics of the pencil alone although that plays a role a well. But even if you could somehow imprint perfect lines like you imagine them, the bicycle and the lightening etc will not be realistic unless you are a trained artist.
This is true even at the CPU cache level so it's probably going to trickle down all the way.<p>For example Jon G gave a talk at Jane Street about how he had a mysterious performance bug that was later attributed to cores fighting over the same cache line<p><a href="https://youtu.be/tND-wBBZ8RY?is=624w3YoDN2QYBWuD" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/tND-wBBZ8RY?is=624w3YoDN2QYBWuD</a>
