Genuinely I think we as a society need to figure out why 90% of the population is unbelievably bad at math and hates it like why have we demonized truly one of the most important subjects in school
#obligatory “i don't hate people with discalcula and that's also not what I'm talking about”#and i am genuinely a bit upset about this because i truly don’t get it. like math is hard but not THAT much harder than english#or learning a language#and you can't ALL have had super shitty math teachers#so why are so many people incapable of doing like basic algebra#“oh math isn't applicable to real life” yeah man i bet you're forced to read various classics and talk about them later all the time huh#maybe not everything you learn in school DIRECTLY translates to real life hm? maybe you're developing your brain to be able to think?#and don't get me started on “gays can't do math” hey worstie why are you correlating being queer with anti intellectualism#math#education

Everytime I see that "fandom is worse now because all the POPULAR KIDS got into it" post or any of the bajillion similar ones I die a little on the inside. You all sound like a 34 year old white cishet self identified gamer scoffing about how "all these girls pretend to like anime when IN MY TIME they would have bullied me for being a nerd" before he goes on to watch 4 more videos from a youtuber who participated in gamergate.
#complaining and whining about fandom#'fandom is ruined because thE POPULAR KIDS-' unless you are literally in highschool right now this language is beneath you#highschool cliques are not eternally applicable. grow up.#get a better framework for reality#also the more i learn about fandom history the more i realize the folks waxing poetic about the old fandom days are either a) LYING#or b) oblivious to all the horrible shit because they were 14 at the time#oh puritanism in fandom? thats new? yeah NO ONE moralized about gay kinky sex in the 90s and early 2000s. do you hear yourself.#the satanic panic was still going on in the 90s for fuck's sake#people used to accuse the h-p books of glorfying satan and luring children into witchcraft!#stop your weird RETVRN fantasy about a past fandom that does not exist#and start looking at the problems you can solve in your communities in the here and now

i should probably apply to some classics summer school/program/whatever. i have no money though. and it’d have to be online… but maybe it’d save me from this stupid french university whose classics degree is absolutely useless because we’re not learning anything at all. i need an intensive program or something
idk where to apply though :/ and i’m scared it’ll be even harder to understand latin/ancient greek if it’s taught in english. we don’t even learn declensions with cases in the same order… but i really need to do something that’ll make me feel like i’m actually learning classics and not just wasting my fucking time
#if anyone knows of good summer classics programs that are online and with applications still open please tell me#i feel like i haven’t learned a word of latin/greek in two semesters and it’s worrying#it could be about the languages but also just classics in general. literature or history or things like that#—#classics#classics student#classics tumblr#latin#ancient greek

For the love of all things holy please, please, if you are applying to an institute of higher education, DO NOT USE CHATGPT. I promise you that if I, a person who makes college application essays suck less in exchange for ready money, can tell within two sentences, an admissions officer reading thousands of the things can tell at first glance. We don’t even need the fucking AI detector. They’re just bad. They’re so bad. They’re appallingly bad. And they’re INSIDIOUSLY bad. It is so much harder for me to remove their insidious bland meaningless marketingese than it is for you to say everything you want to say, hammer it into a roughly organized form, and pay me six cents a word to help you tell your story in an organized, coherent, and effective way. I promise you, it is easier. And your essay will actually get through the automatic AI detectors and to a real human being.
And if you don’t wait until THE DAY OF THE DEADLINE, I can even teach you how to do the thing I do yourself, so you are never tempted to turn to that dealer of less-than-mediocrity again.
I’m very good at this. Trust me, you do not want to use ChatGPT at any point in this process, not for ideas or spell check or language tweaks. It will only make things worse.
#I should start charging extra for fixing ones drafted or revised by the devil#college applications#feel my eye twitching#normally I work with people for whom English is a second language#who have excellent things to say and slightly dubious grammar#and a lack of familiarity with English narrative essay structure#also a lot of compsci folks who can write beautifully in C++ and not at all otherwise#my favorites to work with are the rare ones who actually want to know what I’m doing and why and how they can do it#I had a great one once#we worked on her essays over two months#and I did no direct rephrasing at all#she wanted to know how to do it#and she learned beautifully#I do not do academic essays though#that is what the college writing center is for

Tom and Robotic Mouse | @futuretiative
Tom's job security takes a hit with the arrival of a new, robotic mouse catcher.
TomAndJerry #AIJobLoss #CartoonHumor #ClassicAnimation #RobotMouse #ArtificialIntelligence #CatAndMouse #TechTakesOver #FunnyCartoons #TomTheCat
Keywords: Tom and Jerry, cartoon, animation, cat, mouse, robot, artificial intelligence, job loss, humor, classic, Machine Learning Deep Learning Natural Language Processing (NLP) Generative AI AI Chatbots AI Ethics Computer Vision Robotics AI Applications Neural Networks
Tom was the first guy who lost his job because of AI
(and what you can do instead)
⤵
"AI took my job" isn't a story anymore.
It's reality.
But here's the plot twist:
While Tom was complaining,
others were adapting.
The math is simple:
➝ AI isn't slowing down
➝ Skills gap is widening
➝ Opportunities are multiplying
Here's the truth:
The future doesn't care about your comfort zone.
It rewards those who embrace change and innovate.
Stop viewing AI as your replacement.
Start seeing it as your rocket fuel.
Because in 2025:
➝ Learners will lead
➝ Adapters will advance
➝ Complainers will vanish
The choice?
It's always been yours.
It goes even further - now AI has been trained to create consistent.

I haven't done proper low-level language study in a while – I've been mostly focusing on simply using my higher-level languages – and I forgot how FUN it is! I've re-started the Assimil courses (seriously the best damn language-learning material out there, I swear) for Croatian and Mandarin, and I am having SUCH A GOOD TIME 🥰
#langblr#language learning#cosmo gyres#a day in the life#boy have my writing skills in chinese atrophied though#my characters are shaped so badly haha#but it's all coming back to me pretty fast#i'm determined to write out the full text of every lesson in hanzi#we'll see how long that plan lasts haha#i think i was blocking myself for ages because i kept thinking that i should study more 'useful' languages#so every time i felt the craving for croatian (which i do not have any opportunity to use) i'd make myself polish up my french instead#and every time i felt the craving for chinese (which is admittedly a useful language but also not immediately applicable in my life)#i'd think 'nooo jeez i should really do arabic instead. seeing as everyone speaks arabic where i live'#and tbf i really do want to learn arabic too bc i feel like it would be an amazing way to connect with my neighbors#but frankly the prospect of putting all that time into msa and then STILL having to pick a dialect and learn it after that#is... well... disencouraging. let's say.#the writing and the sound of it is so gorgeous though. i really do hope i get around to it someday#personal#tag rant

i actually think hatori is more of an electrical/hardware engineer than an informatics/information technology/software engineering person
#from the fanbook - he says he has the ability to ''flip switches he isn't supposed to''#in other words - 1s and 0s and currents#off and on#i think at the very granular level that's the mechanics of hatori's power#and i mean this is applicable to computer science and IT - but not that much#the electrical and hardware manipulation is VERY abstracted away into programming languages#and im of the opinion that hatori... doesn't know how to program computers#also when we see him demonstrate his abilities they are either hacking drones and helicopters that are likely programmed in lower-#-level languages and place a larger emphasis on electrical engineering#or hacking radio waves which i mean that's still some sort of off-on thing#the software engineering route of changing ports n permissions n stuff is.. i think not hatori's thing#but who knows... i really like hatori infosec interpretations... its just that i also think in canon he's an electrical engineer type guy#(not shitting on electrical engineers - infact i think they do better stuff than me - the loser infosec guy who can't do physics#to save his life)#my post canon hc for him is that he cleans up and goes to post-secondary school and finally learns the theory behind all of the stuff#-he CAN do#i think he'd unlock a lot of potential that way#but what do i know i am just speculating on the mechanics of psychic powers#milk (normal)#hatori tag#ah this is just me rambling i wanted to get the thought out

I miss Portuguese....
#langblr#It's in my power to just continue learning Portuguese#But the EU really needs people who speak Romanian so I want to speed run Romanian to a level where I can at least use it on my application#Also Romanian slaps#So I need to pause Portuguese because otherwise that's simply too many Romance languages#But I will return to it!!#But like I wish I could simply learn all languages at the same time#And I'm like barely learning 1 at the moment

sidenote speaking of polls that infuriated me, that poll like 'does a story require themes to be good' was sent from hell to kill me
#everyone taking it as an object lesson in Reading Comprehension this website's favourite fuckin phrase#meanwhile the wording immediately captivated me as a word puzzle#'does a story require themes to be good' immediately dinged in my mind as a hypothetical#and that was way more interesting than the discourse 2 me#like in my mind its not a question of 'do good stories have themes' like duh doy the answer is yes#i saw it as 'does a story REQUIRE themes'#as in 'would a hypothetical lab-made story with no themes be discounted from being a story due to its lack of themes'#and that was fun and u guys had to go 'lollll imagine not paying attention in english class'#if i had paid attention during my english class it would have killed me. we did fucking NOT learn about critical reading or comprehension#we learned how to regurgitate the lowest-common-denominator answers and score well on tests with the least amount of thought#wrote a personal essay abt my grief towards the school system making the point of 'students are shaped into ai'#'whats important is that we can make words in the right sequence and not that we are actualyl saying anything'#and my english teacher was like 'wowww really good essay i rlly feel for you' and then a year later she was showing us chatgpt .#what was i on about. oh yeah language is a prison#'arent you an english major' YES. its a fascinating and fun toy whose widespread application is inappropriate and inefficient#language was made for word puzzles and tripping people up and the fact that i have to verbalise it on a time limit#with only rough approximations of my actual thoughts in casual conversation is one of my greatest griefs#anyway. ahem. tumblr amirite

did you actually learn English through reading gay fanfic?? how does it feel being better than every native speaker to ever exist
feels great, thanks for asking!!! ^_^ /j
but yeah...mostly??? all schools have english classes but they're usually the most basic of basic stuff. i learned gramatic rules and all of the tenses, yes (which was GREAT!! because when you learn a language straight from the source you often repeat something you saw being done and ASSUMED was right instead of KNOWING it was right and Why), but only enough to know a few useful phrases & hold the simplest of conversations. so i used that as a guide while everything else was learned through translation and memorization or by research! idk when that changed to 'oh i can read it by myself now' or when that changed to 'i can write lengthy texts without problem' but. that gift horse can keep its mouth shut, idk & idc.
since spanish is so similar to portuguese, im using that as my stepping stone this time. if i cant tell what a word means by just looking at it, ill look it up. thats it. if it works again im posting a five paragraph text fully in spanish or smth
#btw it was percy jackson fanfic the first time. obviously. i was like 12 or 13 i think#also didnt add to it but the reason i stopped with language apps is bc theyre guilty of telling you what to do without explaining why#yeah ok i can use e or y here. oh i got it wrong. are you going to tell me why? no? cool! i learned nothing!#and adding to the english classes we also have 'professional' ones that are private right but. not all of them are good.#my brother went to one for only 1 year and it was BAD. like i cringed going through his textbooks bad. and it was expensive as hell too!!!#but they DO give you certificates... that looks better than 'im self-taught' on applications

we think we've successfully given ourselves a habit that we can actually fulfill cuz like. we forget to do our german vocab stuff right. like normally. and then the next day it says we need to memorize 100 different cards because we performed sin. (normally its 30-40 which is annoying but can be done in 15 mins). and you know we think if we saw 100 cards to review normally we simply wouldn't but alas when we actually remember it we do it. and then it only takes 5 minutes more than 30 card reviews! maybe learning german isn't a losing battle maybe we can do it
#it also implies we've already learned over 100 words which is a lil scary but yay#anki is legit the craziest shuit ever like. if you have outside means of learning grammar or already have a foundation of it (like we do#with german) then you can legit just download an anki pack and you can basically rely on that and only that for vocab#like vocab feels so complicated and then anki. bruh#there's this one youtuber we watch for inspo whose learning revolves around anki entirely and then application#like immersion... and then adding unknown stuff to the anki#and we're like no way you're learning fkn japanese with anki#and then we got anki. eyah#in case its not clear if youre learning a language or want to learn a language then download anki#cuz even if you're too exhausted to think hard and learn grammar or application then you can still make progress with tha words#(which are important)
