The idea to thoroughly understand. It is a phenomena that models take, when they are fed the same training data several times.

  • The first time, they memorize
  • The next few times, they can generalize

When you claim to ā€œgrokā€ some knowledge or technique, you are asserting that you have not merely learned it in a detached instrumental way but that it has become part of you, part of your identity. For example, to say that you ā€œknowā€ Lisp is simply to assert that you can code in it if necessary – but to say you ā€œgrokā€ Lisp is to claim that you have deeply entered the world-view and spirit of the language, with the implication that it has transformed your view of programming. Contrast zen, which is a similar supernatural understanding experienced as a single brief flash.
