The English phrase is “missing the forest for the trees”
Not quite the same as chess blindness. Possibly the opposite. I think, but it basically means: being unable to see the bigger picture because you’re too focused on minor individual details

- Comment on So why is 3 nm chip better? 9 months ago:
The semiconductor industry has been shrinking chips for basically as long as it has existed. Look up Moore’s Law.
In any case, the smaller the transistor, the more chips you can produce with each batch, they use less power, and run faster. Usually. Sometimes things don’t always go right, but that’s the general trend.
- Comment on Do Multivitamins actually do anything? 9 months ago:
Basically, it could prevent vitamin deficiency. But in developed countries, vitamin deficiency is pretty rare, and many forms take years of constant deficiency to really show up.
Basically, it probably won’t hurt. The research is very vague about it because we generally don’t wait until someone actually gets a vitamin deficiency disease before correcting it. Nor can we deliberately starve someone of a vitamin for years and watch the effects. Any subtle effect is often masked by larger issues like genetics, diet, exercise, etc.

- Comment on People who back into parking spots: Why? 10 months ago:
I think you just need more experience driving. Either one is pretty much equally easy, it just depends on how much space you have to work with and what angle you’re approaching from. For example there’s one parking spot at my workplace that’s basically impossible to get into without backing into it.

- Comment on Do you use the swipe to type feature on your phone? 11 months ago:
swipe for common 3+ letter words, tapping for unusual words and uncommon pronouns, and very short words. I guess I’ve learned what swipe is good at guessing and what it’s bad at.
