I agree with this, 100%. I'm literally writing an algorithm tutorial/course thing that's like "I will not use any external libraries, this is the most up to date version of the language, it'll be on github so if it's out of date please fork/pull, each lesson is one thing, eg "error" and I'll (optionally) show you how all the maths translates to code, as opposed to most which are like "so this is linear regression, here's some matrix algebra, don't worry if you don't understand it, but this is the differential under a sum, here's how to code it in a language that everyone hates and you have to pay money for, I've definitely not been paid to use it, it's great for these reasons that also apply to python, anyway this is loss and gradient descent in 4 lines, and here's a magic thing called SVD which is more algebra that you don't really need to understand but could be explained simply in 20 minutes if I could be bothered".

I mean, I'm looking at showing how to write a library that implements at least basic differentiation and integration. It probably won't be 100% complete/fool proof, but it'll be good enough. It's not that hard.

SVD for a square matrix is easy. Its not magic.

I'm also thinking of doing most of the code in at least 2 languages (maybe python/c++).

I also need to find time/not be unwell to do this..........

Fuuuckkk, like, summation (capital sigma) is just a "for" loop. It's mad that it's not just explained in code.

So, uhhhh... That video may have triggered me a bit...

@atheist You mention alot of projects that seem academic to me. I feel boring. lol Most of my career was spent fitting business tasks to the standard front-end, database, com-to-com,system-to-system, hardware-to-hardware model, to help the places I worked. I like your enthusiasm however. I really wanted to write neato things too and then I kept disovering people had already written alot of them lol.

@atheist I love how in the end it just launches minecraft lol

@AvatarOfKaine Yeeaahhh, I spent like, 3+ years doing computer vision R&D, didn't have a data science job title or realise that's what I was doing, then life exploded and I'm currently doing stuff that just ain't that interesting. Want to jump to pure data science, but without it on my CV it's tricky. And I nearly died a year ago, health shit is still a big problem. But then I also think a lot of "data scientists" are just writing iffy code and using a library that they don't entirely understand, but it gets the right results.

@AvatarOfKaine YES! The "and now you have minecraft" is spot on.

I also did a physics degree, so I'm like "this is maths. I promise it's not scary. It's just like code."

@atheist "Yeeaahhh, I spent like, 3+ years doing computer vision R&D, didn't have a data science job title or realise that's what I was doing" over the years I've started to work on so many creative projects some of which I would have persisted in, but between corrupt government and criminals my chomo father was associated with dragging me around and then denying everything to their detriment and stealing, we keep reaching the same point. Their goal seems to be to destroy enjoyment and enthusiasm and to suspend the natural progression of the mind and will which is messy in general, from overcoming various dark and unhappy periods in favor of **blank look with the tinges of lunatic smile**. And their garbage has spread since 2018 quite a bit.

@atheist One problem is until my sex drive was taken care of and my sense of security in my finances and a little adventure and a nice mind-body balance found during my 30s, I never really could plug along so much towards my goals because I kept choosing things with a large scope, and honestly I wanted more joint projects to find other people with similar interests and brainstorm things which I never seemed to find because most people unbeknowst to me at the time were utter shit frauds in my environment.

@atheist Its fucked up I have 2 years of psychology, years of criminal justice oriented thought processes, militant thought processes, intelligence thought processes, and a suppressed/oppressed yearning desire to create and do what i needed to do to progress from this point forward which led me to health and beautication and strength shoved in here and pieces of garbage smiling as they rot in hell's they deserve to be in keep pushing me back. when they get killed it amuses me. I like it when they die. I like it when they get hurt. I like it when they get raped. they cause so much trouble trying to entrap and destroy good people, but one way or another it always catches up with them.

@atheist see the year is probably at least like 2035, 2040 right now.

That makes me approaching my 60s.
Not just entering my 40s.

I remember my 30s and 40s. I was in amazing shape through most of them and strong and smart.

But for every single strength i learned these garbage and garbage I have had commented on who hate their lives and think life has dealt them such an unfair hand pathetically derive catharsis from the idea of someone else's suffering not realizing their brain is misfiring. The idea is that when we recognize our suffering in someone else we're suppose to feel a little lighter because we don't feel alone and feel sympathy and kinship. Not what ruined motherfuckers feel, which is simply a selfish lightening of their load, which is pathetic. Justice oriented impulses aside, retribution which is justified aside.

@atheist there are a lot of people who have no interest in this stupid system which was meant to for child molesting sex offenders, not for normal people who were the unaware children of child molesting sex offenders who were building this degraded disgusting world full of psychologically warped ANIMALS that vaguely resemble humans.

@atheist so uh if you're still alive. i know how these people are. I know to feed their own disgusting perceptions of the world they tried to feed the darkest impulses of human nature, that are also unjustified and selfish and dysfunctional, no offense. but me if my health were poor, I'd want to be nestled into between some pretty boobies being pampered or having someone show me compassion, not trying to secretly get off on someone who was healthy having their ability to achieve and maintain greater health being blocked by the same kind of creatures that are likely now using the dead man's identity to sell little kids, zimmerman.
