Master Any Concept Through Iterative Error Correction
"It's actually 10,000 iterations to mastery, not 10,000 hours. And it's not even 10,000 but some unknown number—it's about the number of iterations that drives the learning curve."
— Naval Ravikant
Hindu traditions prescribed mantras to be repeated 108 or 1,008 times—sacred numbers believed to create permanent neural pathways. But perhaps what was lost over millennia was the crucial distinction: iteration is not repetition.
Repetition is doing the same thing over and over. Iteration is modifying it with a learning and then doing another version—that's error correction. Get 10,000 error corrections in anything, and you'll be an expert.
Segment Loop Master revives this ancient practice with modern understanding. Break content into digestible segments, loop them with conscious attention, document insights with each iteration. Each loop isn't mere repetition—it's a refinement, an error correction, a step closer to mastery.
The player features an "Add Insight" comment editor. When you have a breakthrough—whether at iteration 19, 108, or 1008—document it. The system automatically timestamps each insight:
This creates a personal mastery pattern. Over time, you'll discover your unique iteration threshold—the number of cycles your brain needs to truly internalize concepts.
Split videos into 20-second segments for focused learning. Each segment becomes a learning unit.
split_video_by_minute_segment.shEach loop is an iteration with error correction. Notice something new, refine understanding, document the insight.
Click "Add Insight" when breakthroughs happen. System auto-timestamps with iteration number.
Iteration with error correction creates permanent understanding. Knowledge becomes intuition through refinement.
Clean, fast, no framework overhead. Direct DOM manipulation for precise control.
Polished UI with advanced state management, smooth animations, and rich interactions. Features real-time progress tracking, keyboard shortcuts, and an intuitive learning dashboard.
High-performance async API. Handles media serving and iteration tracking.
Flexible document storage for segments, iterations, and insights.
Revolutionary debugging with unified frontend/backend event tracking.
This tool was built for personal mastery, not public distribution. The legal complexities of content rights make public release challenging.
However, I believe in the concept's power. If you're interested in building a platform where users upload their own content—avoiding copyright issues entirely—let's connect. Together we could democratize deliberate practice.
Vision: A YouTube for deliberate practice, where learners own their content and iterations.
