#algorithms to live by

[cant-be-a-mage-but-is-a-coder]

Some may argue that comparing the wondrously complex human brain to a CPU run on electricity is a bit nihilistic...

...but in fact there are algoritms ARE hardwired into our organic-not-mechanic brains for the sake of optimization (and sometimes survival). And, what’s more, you can adopt more algorithms to help you with things mentioned above - picking the best restaurant, choosing the parking slot, deciding when text someone back after they’ve been evasive - and even finding your perfect spouse.

Prepare for a lot of human-machine comparisons!

There’s an in-depth explanation on how you can boost your productivity to work as efficiently as your processor while you’re gaming. Sounds a bit cliche but learning such terms as ‘metawork’ makes this book far more spicy.

And there are some fun things, too! Prepare yourself to discover real arguments for keeping an “untidy” stack of papers on your desk - read and you’ll be able to explain to your mum that it’s “scientifically proven”.

You can find numerous reccomendations of this international bestseller on YT. Here’s mine: “Whatever was your bible earlier, this will be your new one.”

REBLOG THIS MULTIPLE TIMES IN A ROW BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE

Tumblr is ruining their fucking website

Under Principle 3

#i don't want a goddamn algorithm #I don't want tumblr live #i just want a fucking fuctional website

My friend just asked "why the fuck something like Walker has four seasons and Hannibal got canceled?" and I just stared at her like sissy in christ.......do you not know the demographics? lmao. she forgot for a minute that we, the queers, are minority lmao

can anybody hear me for the love of god

#booktok sure is something isn't it #i've been falling down this rabbit hole for weeks now and let me tell you it has not reassured me about any aspect of life on this planet #is there a booktok critical tag i NEED to see more people pointing out how shitty this phenomenon is or i'll die #wild what an entire generation of teaching creators to pander to algorithms does to that generation's approach to art we are all so fucked #please fucking make genuine shit you don't have to live in this box they invented to sell adspace i am literally begging

here's a take you can cancel me for: it's exhausting when transmasc spaces require censoring of any mentions / discussion of pregnancy or periods under the premise of not wanting to trigger people. because I'm sorry but if you are specifically in a space that exists for the discussion of the unique issues facing trans men / afab people then you cannot prioritize your own discomfort to shut down normal everyday conversations. you cannot hold your inability to regulate your own social media consumption over someone discussing their own body, not yours, because you have framed dysphoria as the universal hallmark of the trans experience and cannot fathom when a trans masc person would be glad or excited about the prospect of getting to have their own child, and other people are sharing in that joy. there are servers and chatrooms for people who are not comfortable discussing any aspects of what the vast majority of adults experience where you would be welcome to talk about sanitized topics.

#ftm #tired of this server im in yall #rambling #rant #to clarify because this is the bad faith interpretation website: tagging on tumblr is a courtesy #you did not necessarily sign up for the exact content crossing your dash (especially with the algorithmic posts) #but you are also capable of unfollowing people who have these discussions #they do not have to censor entire aspects of their lives because a stranger on the internet is uncomfortable

Saw these iWatch bands on sale online the other day and I genuinely want both of them. 😩

#powerpuff girls #the powerpuff girls #ppg #mojo jojo #blossom #iwatch #also me and who 😩😩😩 #this could be me and my ppg sugar daddy’s accessories IF I LIVED IN A PERFECT WORLD #obviously the mojo one would be miiiiiiine 😊 #one day 😤🙏 #the algorithm knows of my blorbos these are the only two that were recommended to me haha #I saw a Him one but I think there’s a bubbles and buttercup one too

How do you feel about the increase in really weird NSFW ads on here (advertising panels that look like sexual encounters, and AI art apps that pride themselves on porn) but will take down NSFW posts from their users, even if it isn't technically sexual.

i hate all social media and it's consistent prioritising the advertisers over the users and the internet simply was a better place before capitalism sunk its hooks into it

#i could write essays about how capitalism ruined the internet. #i was actually talking to someone earlier today about how youtube was kind of effectively ruined by monetisation. #and they were raised in the soviet union and we had a bit of a talk about how art was better because it wasn't for profit. #the people who made art made it because they wanted to do it and because they loved it. #she said that communism was terrible for every aspect of life for her. people's lives under communism wasn't pretty. #but the art was better. and i feel like it's true for the internet – it was better when it was a free-for-all. #the companies didn't know how to exploit it yet and turn it into a neverending profit-driven hellscape. #people created content because they wanted to. because they wanted to make something silly to make people laugh. #not for profit. not for gain. not for numbers. not to further their career. #i miss the days of newgrounds and youtube before monetisation. #capitalism has soiled everything that's joyful and good in this world. #people should be able to share whatever they want. #people should be able to tell any story they want without the fear of being silenced by advertisers. #that's what made the internet so beautiful before. anyone could do anything and we all had equal footing. #but now we're victims of the algorithm. and it makes me sick. #i'm quitting my job in social media. i'm quitting it. it makes me too depressed. i have an existential crisis every freaking day. #every day i wake up and say "ah. this is the fucking hell we live in #i'm so sorry i feel so passionate about this. #social media is a black hole and it is actively destroying humanity. forget ai. social media is what's doing it. #i miss how beautiful the internet used to be. it should've been a tool for good. but it's corrupt and evil now. #sci speaks

"But in canon-"

If you're concerned about canon, the algorithm obviously messed up.

like yeah this site is cringe or whatever and the userbase is stagnant and in theory it shouldn't be treated like anything special but oh my god its so BLEAK out there on the world wide web that I'd like to stay here, thank you.

#i do not want to buy things. i dont want to know what the people i went to hs are up to i don't want another influencer sponsored post #i dont want to live in elons pocket #i dont want the thirtieth ai article #i dont want to sift through clickbait for something meaningful to read #i dont want to pay for access #i dont want the algorithm

When the YouTube videos of the Alolan comic catch up to date will the comics come out faster and the videos be put on hold until more chapters come out?

I don't really know where you got this idea from but we're not currently producing any more dubs of the comics :'D We finished our first season and there's NO plans to dub the rest of the webcomic, these videos took me OVER A YEAR to complete 😭 And the comics are coming out as fast as they can RIGHT NOW, I've been updating weekly for a month now and I unfortunately won't be able to keep up that speed for much longer I'm not a content-machine, I don't have a team of artists nor lightning speed as some of the Webtoon-artists do, I'm just one person who has to work on commissions and other projects at the same time as well 😭

I'm sorry that I can't keep up the pace and update this comic as regularly as other comic artists can update theirs, but I'm trying my very best here every day, I PROMISE 😭

#I put way too much effort into the animated Dub and lost SO much financial support on Patreon while working on it #And I had no luck with the algorithm on Youtube so far and now I'm just #catching my footing again now that I can work on the comics again #I don't regret doing the Dub but at the same time its not really worth it for me to continue it anytime soon #It was just TOO much work for 15 months straight with so many setbacks #I had published a VLOG talking about the experience and my plans shortly after #please keep your expectations low I just cannot live up to the standard you're putting here right now 😭
