Yknow sometimes I’m (stupidly) like “sfth could never surprise me” and then jesus is laying cocaine eggs for the easter bunny

#shoot from the hip #*inhales in haven't kept up with sfth content in months*#what the actual FUCK?????#clearly this is karma for all the times I've quoted sfth out of context to my friends #bcs I think I just received brain damage from that sentence #those are certainly all words. that exist in the english dictionary.#I truly don't know what to say apart from that #maybe this is a sign to catch up with sfth

omg congrats on graduating!! ib is HELL. out of curiosity may i ask what your ee was about? i love hearing people talk about them

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I think the IB may actually be hell on earth like what the actual fuck was the past two years of my life-

I did a computer science EE! the topic is kind of niche so it might take a little extra explaining but basically I analyse different implementations of the hash table (a.k.a. dictionary or hash map).

so hash tables have this thing called a "collision resolution method" which basically prevents the hash table from violently vomitting under specific circumstances. what I do in my EE is take two of these collision resolution methods and compare how they affect the computational time of the resulting program.

I do a theoretical analysis (called "big-o notation") and an experimental analysis with data and graphs, where I write two programs that utilise each collision resolution method and find their computational times. the rest is basically a typical science paper (interpretation of results, limitations + expansions on experiment, conclusion etc.)

there was a lot that I glossed over but that's the basic gist of it!

oh and for my non-IB mutuals, the EE is a 4,000 essay that every IB student is required to write. you get to choose the topic but it must be a research paper, which means reading academic journals and citing sources n all that jazz.

#junyu rambles #ask box #I can't believe I still retained all that information #I genuinely expected to not remember a thing lol #my ee was surprisingly not a huge drag to write #I love computer science so maybe that's why but I kind of had fun researching and writing the programs #I absolutely hated having to read academic journals tho and that'll probably never change #I'm assuming that you're an ib student too?#I'd love to hear about your ee!

I feel like every time I make a "guys I'm finally back!!" post life whacks me with a fist full of Responsibilities and Emotional Suffering T-T

anyways here's a list of what has happened since my "return" to [tumblr]:

finished IB exams (yippee!!!)

went on a school trip to an overnight camp (ft. drenched socks, miserable weather, and a failed confession)

graduated from high school! (and received two awards!!!)

went to prom (it was overstimulating as hell but lowkey kind of fun)

so...yeah, hopefully that explains my absence ^^"

#junyu rambles #I fr forgot that I had all this stuff coming up #I was all like “guys I'm gonna come back to tumblr trust!”#as if I wasn't GRADUATING FROM HIGH SCHOOL a couple days later #(I also don't think being in fandoms is really for me but I'll elaborate on that in another post)#idk if I'll be as active on tumblr but I'll try to catch up on sfth content

ah I see sfth is incorporating the classic real-life issue of "unpaid intern does 80% of the company's work"

Shitty as fuck that Tim's official title is altar boy. You're having that kid hear confession and officiate weddings we're way past altar boy at this point

#shoot from the hip #clarissa's diy wedding #it's like peeking into my future!#*sighs in future computer science student*

just remembered that Titch canonically goes to church and there is so much that could be done with that

#shoot from the hip #the unrelenting aubergine #THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING #like there seriously aren't enough fics exploring titch's identity as a queer man in a religious village #and how that was probably a big reason as to why he was so hesitant to love derek openly #and how he probably felt like he had to choose between keeping his father's traditions alive and loving who he really wants to love #and AAAUGHHH IT'S SO GOOD

coming back to the sfth fandom after not being active for weeks is lowkey hilarious bc you see people going "guys why aren't we talking about the intricate relationship between Glorbus and Phont and how the ending to Daddy's Night Out was such a good allegory of escaping a homophobic household" and you just nod along as if any of those words actually made sense

#shoot from the hip #I'm not throwing shade towards the fandom at all haha I think it's great!#(I'm probably guilty of this myself tbh)#but I do genuinely find it hilarious

hello chat, I'm back! (kind of)

ok so I'm not entirely done with exams yet and I've got like ten billion side projects that somehow all have a mandatory due date, but my schedule is slightly less overwhelming than usual so hopefully I can actually go back to enjoying the Funny British Men soon. fingers crossed!

(man it feels weird not being on sfth tumblr for so long lol)

#junyu rambles #I just realised how much sfth stuff I've missed #I still haven't gotten around to watching sorry about my nan yet #I feel so bad for being gone for so long but I probably would've lost my sanity or my hair if I even tried to go on tumblr last week #you know I'm an introvert because even posting/scrolling on tumblr burns me out sometimes lol #(or maybe this is just another depressive episode)#(sometimes I lowkey forget that I'm actually mentally ill and it actually impacts my life in significant ways ngl)

I've been reading up on NLP, which is basically a type of AI that deals with understanding and generating natural human speech, and I can't help but picturing it as a little autistic kid.

like it has to form an algorithm to understand the underlying intentions of humans' words? it has to deliberately separate speech into smaller chunks and process them individually? it gets confused when words have ambiguous meanings? it struggles with idioms and proverbs? it tends to take things too literally? tell me that's not an autistic child trying to communicate with others.

#junyu rambles #the process of training language-related ai is so autistic-coded ngl #despite what I say I don't actually hate ai as a tool #in fact I love it #like we managed to replicate the brain using numbers and binary code? hell yeah!#it's the usage of ai that I'm definitively against #and like learning more about ai makes me more pissed that people are grossly misusing and misunderstanding it #sorry it's late my thoughts are a mess

he didn't even put out his juice yet :(

not to be dramatic but I’d die for Jeffery

#shoot from the hip #jeffrey my beloved jeffrey my sweetheart #some might call it the tom mayo effect #I call it “new blorbo unlocked”#jeffrey would never do anything wrong he's just a silly lil guy

Imagine if the guys only ever played straight British men. Sounds dull as fuck.

#(prev)#yeah I totally get what you mean #I don't want this thread to just become “hating on random tumblr blog” so I'll keep this short but I totally agree #their stuff just seems...preachy to me #I've never really liked self-proclaimed activism that's just pointing out “bigotry” in popular media #(idek if you can call it activism tbh)#(cause activism means to advocate for change)#(and when you're just pointing out bigotry with nothing else to add that's not really activism)#ok I'm done with this now #I'm so sorry for derailing this post lol #time to crawl back into my little sfth dungeon
