@Addaraya and if a research paper is behind a paywall here's the magic solution https://sci-hub.tw/

2018-03-04 14:54:17 UTC  

I love reading research papers.

2018-03-04 14:55:27 UTC  

I know this is completely unintuitive but I learned math through reading research papers on robot locomotion and computer graphics 😊

2018-03-04 14:59:17 UTC  

Specifically it enabled me to identify the central mathematicl concepts with very little prior math skills(arithmetic simplest algebra) and what to learn to be able to do what the researchers presented in the papers. Then when I had learned vectors it took only a few months until I discovered things on my own that led to published research papers in the 60's and 70's.

I never imagined that something that used to be so hard and hard to penetrate was actually intuitive once I knew something that was actually applicable to my interests.

2018-03-04 15:00:30 UTC  

Anyway, laters.

2018-03-04 17:08:58 UTC  

FUN STUFF

2018-03-04 17:09:05 UTC  

PEOPLE LEARN BY EXAMPLE BEST I THINK

2018-03-04 17:21:48 UTC  

Depends on the person. But I know that's how I learn the best

2018-03-04 18:13:35 UTC  

i used to go to math competitions in elementary schools was an exemplary mathematician and stuff

2018-03-04 18:13:46 UTC  

went to high school and essentially had my math interest wiped out

2018-03-04 18:13:58 UTC  

never touched a number with my hand ever since

2018-03-04 18:14:30 UTC  

high school was hell as far as classes are concerned, luckily, i spent most of the time outside of school

2018-03-04 18:15:34 UTC  

maths professor hated me, other professors couldnt care less whether students come or go, and i was hopelessly turned on my serbian professor

2018-03-04 19:22:01 UTC  

Yeah I always hated math and science just because they are fucking boring

2018-03-04 19:22:12 UTC  

To each their own

2018-03-04 19:22:42 UTC  

I'd probably have done better in school otherwise and gone further in life if I wasn't so averse to that shit

2018-03-04 19:22:45 UTC  

Oh well

2018-03-04 20:17:26 UTC  

one of my math professors used to complain about students always asking him "can we see an example?"
I think in his experience students focusing on just examples didn't develop an actual understanding of the underlying concepts, but were effectively mentally lazy and picked out patterns that they thought encapsulated them but wasn't complete
But examples are of course necessary when the more difficult task of accurately and accessibly describing in words the full idea is not done well enough
He was probably also frustrated at them for not understanding his description because of the implication that his description was inadequate, and he may have resented that

2018-03-04 20:25:48 UTC  

@devolved I watched some reviewbrah videos.

2018-03-04 20:26:11 UTC  

@devolved I was disturbed.

2018-03-04 20:26:39 UTC  

@devolved Have you ever looked at his face while he eats the 'food'?

2018-03-04 20:26:49 UTC  

of course

2018-03-04 20:26:55 UTC  

He's in pain.

2018-03-04 20:27:47 UTC  

It's like watching Jackass.

2018-03-04 20:27:58 UTC  

But with an autist instead of normies.

2018-03-04 20:29:08 UTC  

a sensitive soul will be in pain in this world

2018-03-04 20:29:28 UTC  

It doesn't have to extend to the stomach.

2018-03-04 20:30:05 UTC  

He's selling "Let's watch the autist boy shorten his lifespan, with commentary"

2018-03-04 20:30:26 UTC  

he'll live to be 100

2018-03-04 20:30:32 UTC  

he never eats the whole thing

2018-03-04 20:30:35 UTC  

just a few bites

2018-03-04 20:30:47 UTC  

Yeah, probably less than you eat.

2018-03-04 20:31:28 UTC  

Have you seen his cnn video?

2018-03-04 20:31:41 UTC  

When they show his "competition"?

2018-03-04 20:31:55 UTC  

It's some shouting joweled monkeyman.

2018-03-04 20:33:23 UTC  

yeah

2018-03-04 20:33:28 UTC  

joey something

2018-03-04 20:33:59 UTC  

the only youtube personalities i need are sam hyde, reviewbrah, pewdiepie

2018-03-04 20:34:41 UTC  

The only reason I can think of to watch pewdiepie is to remind oneself to hate swedes.

2018-03-04 20:35:11 UTC  

he's great
