I thought this was wholesome memes and mom did not conform to society by wearing the crown made for her by the her kid.

Why? Does 95% of digital advertisement even serve a single valuable purpose?

I get that websites need funding and that legitimate business require some way communicate their services exist. We need to solve the problem for the former and create specialized accessible safe spaces for the later.

When is the last time anyone here saw an ad for a local business, when is the last time anyone recall willfully clicking one? Was there actually anything useful there?

From what i recall ads almost always are one of the following:

• sex, barely legal drugs and predatory video games. (Lumped together to make a bad pun)

• real product/fake price: oh this item isnt in stock plz look at catalog

• politics, buy our guide to get rich, actual illegal scam operation.

None of them are honest or respectful to the customer. People aren’t prey, stop baiting.

Admittedly, for me this is personal. Autism means i experience the extra noise as painful. Plastering it on useful websites feels like a hostile attack to keep me out and unwelcome. I downright refuse to look at watch nor will i support them through ad free subscriptions to the point of it having become a digital disability.

But come on, can we smart online people really not figure out something else that isn’t based on literal brainwashing.

Going out of your way to have an abortion exactly there?

That sounds just like a satanic withcraft ritual.

Not sure if there more or less steps, maybe it just IS considering abortion used to be a job for the local herbalist women.

“Those where theoretical gummies to proof a point”

Thats why they are “in his pocket” and now openly On display.

Could also argue my left leg and pocket didnt cross the border, only my right did.

Tech companies are richer than some entire nations.

Data is literally the new gold and you can bet your profile is being sold and bought for all kinds of statistical analysis.

To what areas to send flyers, what voting region to draw. From how likely you are to become a potential terrorist. If you have a pattern of consuming that can be reinforced showing an ad at the right time. Or if you have such low income and high debt they don’t need to bother except if they are a predatory money lending service, then they may give you a personal call.

If there exists data on it then businesses are made specifically to exploit that data.

But of course you’ll never see or hear what happens to your specific data. Your not supposed to know your being mined for profit and sold to the highest bidding manipulator.

I think my partner has a good dose of this. Excelled at test taking but struggles to live up to expectations post education.

I don’t think it’s relevant to what i did, i never have issue generating novel ideal to successfully tackle a problem and i spend a fair amount on coding which requires good problem solving.

If annoying i had a problem with understanding the default solution so i had no choice then come up with a new one using my logic. But at that point it really is just called autism.

Actually that is sort of what happend in the end of my school career

I always understood the underlaying logic so i never needed to learn that. But then sin cos and tan happend and for some reason i don’t understand them.

I have been able to memorize their formulas on multiple occasions but i start mixing them up in less then a minute every time, i swear its actually ridiculous how inept i am at memorizing and not mixing stuff up even with mnemonics.

I had to hand in an exam with half the pages unanswered. Twice. I wad lucky the first time because the half I did was without error and worth more then 50%. The second time, not so much and i had to defend my non existent answer before a jury.

Yesterday i learned more about algebraic topology out of curiosity, i also dabble with statistical analysis and frequently use all kinds of math in programming.

Just a minute ago i looked for a simple explanation what sin cos tan are about and its stil the same, and i know its supposedlyJust hightail school level but i don’t understand what they are for at all it makes me nervous its my Achilles’ heel of math.

What do you mean with a human author? Sorry you actually lost me on this. Student logic is the skill of taking school tests right? Cause outside math i had very low grades.

I rely on the same mathematical logic but the calculation is done intuitive, like a gut feeling. Thats not the “reverse engineering of formulas” i talked about, that i just did because school expected it of me. But it relies on this very useful ability.

As you use math intuitively you become more intuitive at it, honing the ability. School did not provide a platform to do so while it makes you better at normal calculations as well

The example i gave that does best illustrate it is seeing the sizes of things without having to check labels, markings or actually measure. Especially useful for domestic jobs Like hanging up a mirror on the wall. Or when visiting stores like an ikea.

Another term I believe for it is eyeballing it. But i cant see how you think it isn’t useful outside of schools. (Pun intended)

I have been outside school for more than 10 years. I use all kinds of mathematical principles on a day to day basis (part of how i perceive the world) but solutions requiring specific formulas pretty much never happens and when it very rarely does happen (i think i used Pythagorean once 2 years ago), i just google it.

Oh its also super useful in video games like Minecraft where you have to do a lot of math but cant be bothered to take a calculator. But video games aint real life so it doesn’t count.

I have to disagree. Being able to obtain close enough accurate results without needing to calculate or measure is incredibly useful on a daily basis.

Ever had to pick the right size drill or screwdriver bit out of a mix? Thats the kind of skill this most often relates to.

combined with real measurement it becomes intuitive knowledge to verify my own measurements.

In school i just had to do extra work to be able to write down a formula. I agree thats not useful but i was still practicing the same algebra to do so.

Trying to remember the formulas from my head turned out to be literally impossible for me. I got a diagnosis post education and i may explain why i developed this ability from need to make up for my disability.

I tend to overuse commas but i am trying not to because it makes my speech more identifiable in the age if ai.

Believe it or not, not putting effort in typing increases your privacy online. The important part is i got to say what i wanted and people understood what i meant anyway.

No, they hated me. Also because i was the only one to pass the exam, not because i was great but because the teacher was so bad that i ended up on top because not being able to pay attention in class was my default. So it didn’t make a difference how bad the teacher was for me.

Dont ask me to remember 3 different numbers at the same time. I literally cannot do it.

A teacher mentioned i had a skill for calculated guesses and my first though was “Why aren’t you teaching me to hone the skills i am good at rather then forcing me to do it in a way i have an handicap (memory).

Find X where X is a modifier (a series of calculations) to be used with the provided numbers to end on a specific answers.

And i often had like 3 different sets of provided numbers and answers to verify if the series of calculations are goin in the right direction. Once you have sm that answers all 3 questions you known its gold.

Last step is restructuring the “modifier” so it actually looks like a formula.

Maybe reverse engineering isn’t the right term.

Brute forcing using the provided calculator and calculated guesswork till i got something that matched one of the answers.

I sometimes lost points for “something off in my formula” but the answer was correct so i passed overal.

I have a nack for “visualizing” certain math allowing for calculated guesses. I had a few instances (not on a test) where i literally just told the teacher i had not the faintest clue how to tackle the solution but it just screamed “x=3” and i was kindly told “well done, but no points without formula. “

The year i got an internet connection my English grades doubled but its not my first language so yeah no perfect. Deal with it :)

Sometimes i wonder, am i the only one who found it much easier to reverse engineer the required formula from given data, multiple choice response and the different but similar formula on the other question?

Once had my class turn against me because a very unskilled teacher wrote a question on the test of which we hadent seen the required formulas in class. But that couldn’t be said the teacher because i the kid who was known to not be able to pay attention to annything found the correct answer.

All i can guarantee you is you want your headphones and your bluetooth transmitter to be at least aptx low Latency even better aptx hi-fi. Maybe you already took that for granted but you didn’t mention it so.

Good luck finding a retailer that lists such specification on their bluetooth devices without massively inflating the price. 5 years ago i paid 7 bucks for a great tiny dongle now its 25 and 3 times bigger for same specs…

You clearly aren’t married with kids.

It has existed for a while but has been getting more mainstream ik recent years.

Its a good term because it comes from the community itself rather then being a medical label by a doctor so its inclusive to people with or without diagnosis.

It also covers many more neurological differences that are not, yet frequently overlap with, autism. adhd, dyslexia,… You dont need to self identify as sick or disabled it often just feels better for me.

I didn’t say i had the answer. just passed it on :)

For all i personally know this answer is completely made up, as is the danger with ai experts.
