Apparently inverse sigmoid is how logits are calculated.

Here I am reinventing the fucking wheel.

I won't pretend that I'm even trying to begin to understand what any of this means 😁

@netikras I stopped wasting time trying.

Most of the stuff as already been discovered. There are people out there that can catch a rocket with chopsticks... Why would I spend time and energy doing the same ? Always research first before learning or inventing something new.

Ah yes, I know some of those words!

Ah, okay.
Whatever that means.

All I know is that a sigmoid function basically... Uhhh...
___--
___---/

Something something neuronal networks and a threshold function.

tbh that's always nice to find

I feel so validated!

There is a wheel that you can use for fucking? How do I not know about this? I don't think you can ever have enough fucking wheels.

Edit: are we going to hear a story about some random dude getting his dick ripped off by a baseball thrower?

@Demolishun @Wisecrack
Is the fucking wheel in the room with us?

@figoore new game show:

"Wheel of Fucking!"

@jestdotty you stumble on shit thats already been discovered too?

@figoore It is always in the room. Always by our side, like a companion that never leaves.

@Wisecrack generally I invent shit 1-2 years before it becomes known by somebody, and young me would always go "geez why are these people so dumb and don't realize this? I can't be smarter than everyone else! what a fluke!"

but I got sick. used to have 145 IQ (I didn't know til I got sick, thanks mom). 120 now. so womp womp

now I'm lucky if I can read instructions properly

I remember talking to friends in my teens and a surprising thing was when I asked them when they talk to people what % do they understand. everyone would always say about 40-60%, generally 60%. that drove me crazy. cuz for me I felt alienated if I understood 80%, and I'd feel frustrated if I understood 90%, and I generally understood 95%, and id chase things until 100% to feel "at home" or like I actually "knew" things

anyway I don't understand your posts. before I would've been frustrated and understood 80-90, but now it's like... 20%? lul

@Wisecrack ok read the post

when I learn something my process is to make my own thoughts about it and guess how the system works. so I will automatically start asking questions and using the "expert" or teacher as a person for me to bounce my ideas off of. I'm looking to see if they validate my guess or not and then I can know if the idea I have in my head has predictive power or not, is what they meant, etc. I do this step by step, as I understand each component. this seems more efficient a method of learning for me than others for various reasons but I won't digress

using this strategy though, if your expert or teacher doesn't have a good grasp of what they're divulging to you, they won't validate a guess that in reality, in physics, in math, will actually work. because in their heads they don't know the answer. in some instances they may even think you're stupid for coming up with an answer they never knew

@Wisecrack in these instances you can become hungry for validation as compensation, and then when you encounter an old book where someone has the same idea, you wanna hit yourself in the head, cuz you were right all along, and you had somehow let someone else convince you you weren't. d'oh

or I guess if it happens in modernity that could be pretty frustrating, I might become angry and jealous in that instance but I don't think I care about modern stuff like that or something

ummm

it's fine if someone says I'm wrong and how

but the people that don't have an understanding of "the thing" will simply be judgemental towards you and not further your understanding

and then thusly this will cause a hole -- you are wrong, but you don't know how. the hole has to be filled somehow. this is the need for validation

either the hole is filled with "you were wrong and this is HOW" or... as is often the case... the hole gets filled with "you were never wrong", because when people tell you you're wrong without giving you the gift of greater understanding, they're literally just empty husks throwing bullshit at ya because fuck you. you get their emotions of inadequacy infecting you and you get nothing of knowledge for the thing you were looking for! ragh! very sad 😢

@jestdotty my process and experience as well.

Don't know what reduced your functioning but I'm sorry to hear it. What a nightmare.

I think most people just enjoying reading cool shit even if I don't explain all of it. Technical details tend to bog shit down and the big picture gets lost in the minutiae. You can even see interest drop off the longer a post is, so usually I try to keep them at a couple pages max.

Sometimes other Ranters will come in with "thats not possible" or "thats stupid", and either I realize it is, or I get to do the fun thing and say "but I just did."

Btw, what kind of sickness was it? (if thats not prying too much)

@Wisecrack I don't know

mysteriously got sick

symptoms overlap most with vaccine injured

left side where I got it and the areas where my circulation would've taken it seem to be the most harmed. so my bet is it was that

I've been getting better since February though. slow but on the up and up. maybe in 2 years I'll be back to where I was before all this nonsense happened. don't plan on staying this way. also don't plan on taking people for their word in the future. was my lesson

guess you're driven by the emotion of what seems coooool

@jestdotty who doesn't want to build cool shit?

But no, its just what people are interested in.
