  • I learned this much:

    I learned the education system is a lie.

    3 times they bait and switched me:

    1. From standard grade chemistry, promised to educate on chemistry, the whole periodic table, etc... Higher chemistry, they trained us to be industry drones, focusing on hydrocarbons only.
    2. From Art & Design 1st year college, promised to educate on art, all art... 2nd Year, knitting. (WTF).
    3. From Computer Art 2nd year college, promised to educate on all computer arts... 3rd year, web design. (WTF).

    I gave up on formal education after that (~ a decision that was further confirmed by other fails noticed in that last year).

    In the following year, I learned more on my own with an internet connection and a library card, than I had learned in the entire prior 14 years of formal "education".

  • If there’s any upside to the entire situation, it’s that perhaps, maybe, developers will again start paying more attention to optimization instead of just throwing more powerful hardware at it.

    Amen.

    Long time irked that so many developers fail with the mathematics of the situation.

    If hardware multiplies its resources 1000x, that does not mean you can make your program use 1000x resources, along with thousands of other developers failing at that mathematics too, making bloat radically outpace Moore's Law.

    If hardware multiplies its resources 1000x, that should mean that developers continue to keep their software tight, lean, and fast, and that should mean users have 1000x more resources available to do more with.

    Still prefer AMD though. Straight through.

  • LOL.

    Enjoyable little irony personally for me, as when I asked an LLM to churn out a readme for my fin project ( posted on lemmy here ), it proposed one of fin's advantages that could push fin into the notable category: "Performance niche - might be faster than Electron-based editors for simple tasks". Maybe I should change that to "save a fortune on RAM compared to Electron-based editors".

  • I did.

    And responded (and, I thought, offered refutation) to that too...

    Are we playing the "did you read" game?

    Did you read what I wrote that responds directly to that matter?

    ... Not a very productive way of going about this, is it. :/

    Always worth a double check of those three fingers pointing back, every time pointing a finger in hate. n_n

  • Just an example of not using reasoned explanations and instead conforming to "requires continual compliance for next to no explanation" that sprang to mind.

    Since I was not saying you were saying what you're saying I was saying, that's your own (both) strawman fallacy fallacy, and its own strawman fallacy. As I said, it's just what also sprang to mind in that same vein of thought. At a stretch, maybe you could try claim it a slippery slope fallacy on my part, but again, I was not saying that's the inevitable result from your line of thought(/dogma). It's just a possibility [due consideration] within that philosophy.

    Also, while we're on the case of detecting fallacies, you've moved the goalposts from "That**’s** simply raising children." to "explanation and exploring ideas sometimes simply doesn’t work".

  • Which is what?

    Use your words.

    Happy to entertain counter arguments or refutations.

    Aloof ad-hominem, uncompelling.

    Have you looked into ABA? Look into that, and then take a fresh look at CBT.

    Happy to hear any example of a behaviorist school of thought that's not authoritarian.

  • It’s a problem for a hierarchical society that requires continual compliance for next to no explanation

    That’s simply raising children.

    I'm deeply concerned for the wellbeing of your children.

    I'm deeply concerned for the wellbeing of a society that's even peppered (let alone prolific) with this naive-realist rationalised irrationality.

    "That's simply" authoritarian totalitarianism, normalised.

    And of course, the totalitarianised psyche does not see this. Like the fish does not see water. Does not even know its a thing. Knows no other way. "That's simply" how it is to them.

    A couple other things spring to mind:

    "If you're old enough to ask the question, you're old enough to handle the answer." (And even before (and if not, plant the seed and they may get it later).

    and

    Try explanation before dismissing it out of hand. Better pedagogy. Explanation's not even a high bar. There are better yet. Invite exploring ideas.

  • Side note: ODD is a diagnosis that is only people under 18, so it’s explicitly not a political thing.

    Sounds explicitly political to me. Did you forget the "/s"?

  • is more a description of the outward effect than what is happening inside the person,

    Doesn't stop behaviorists coming up with diagnoses.

    Oh, but then, behaviorists are authoritarians, and so likely are not going to shoot a diagnosis for their own.

  • Wait wait wait... ASD as in "Autism Spectrum Disorder"?

    You're equating sociopathy with autism? Like it's just another word for the same?

    o_O

    Double empathy problem turned malignant much?

    Am I misunderstanding what you're saying? You say this is largely your own opinion, that these are the same, or that others say they're the same?

    These are very much not the same. Dangerous to conflate.

    Unless also having narcissistic personality disorder or other cluster B stuff, autistics are typically more empathetic. It just doesn't show the same way.

    And yeah, as for hierarchy creating... Asperger history's as nasty as the rest of the Nazi stuff manipulating people, in ways both intentional and unintentional. Lots of manipulations and "externalities".
