  1. I hate trying to learn things from videos.

    Why can’t folk write comprehensive BOOKS about Unreal Engine 5.6?

    Videos are either too slow and boring, or things suddenly appear on a blueprint or model and I’m wondering where the hell that came from. 😂

    Yes, the video creators successfully achieve what they set out to do, but my brain cannot be taught that way. Autodidact. Give me a printed manual, turn me loose.

  2. 🌀 Theoretical roots stretch across domains.

    My work connects:

    AI foundations & mathematics,

    symbolic healing & Taoist patterns,

    mind-body emergence and spiritual science.

    🧠 You can start exploring from here:
    🔗 spireason.neocities.org/
    📂 Or dive into the AI core:
    🔗 github.com/tambetvali/LaegnaAI

    If a theory is built from deep layers,
    then even fragments can reveal a whole.

  3. It really is difficult to understand how complicated any process is unless you try and recreate it yourself.

  5. La problématique d'un artiste est de faire parler de lui afin d'être reconnu, et pour ce faire il se doit de parler de lui même... certains dont le narcissisme est prononcé le font très bien... les autres font ce qu'ils peuvent 😊

  6. CW: Re-introduction

    Long time no post... Time for a #reintroduction I guess! A lot has changed since I was here last. I found out I'm a #starseed, I learned #reiki, and these things have completely changed my life. I also learned a few things about #crystals and want to learn a lot more. Getting back into making music, including for #meditation.

  12. Fresh #introduction for 2024: The Year It All Comes Crashing Down!

    I'm Sean - a formerly prolific rock #musician, current #foss engineer, full-time #audioEngineer at a busy roadhouse #theatre and #covid19 #longHauler, almost 2yrs with #pem, #pots, and an host of other goodies. #wearAMask #saveALife

    I like working on projects that enable marginalised persons to take back their autonomy on and offline. I subscribe to #diy and am a voracious #autodidact. I make #bots for #mastodon and the #fedi. I'm building a replacement for #bandcamp and #spotify.

    I care about all #humans and #animals on this planet, an am strongly aligned against their destruction via a #socialist #anarchist education. I'm against all #fascists, and call #bullshit where I see it, and I see every #microexpression. I'm pretty #autistic.

    I #protest for #humanRights, #disabilityRights, #lgbtqRights, against #climateDestruction, #corporateGreed and for a #ceasefireNow in #palestine.

    I educate myself on the world around me - with help from y'all - and I do my best to educate and #lift those around me.

    I'm friendly, weird, and irreverent. Feel free to follow, boost and interact. This is a social media!

  14. If you’re bright and you ever doubt yourself or your ways (almost all bright people do), contemplate this list of intellects and contributors who were all self-taught.

    If you never have doubts, absorb their material.

  18. I'm wondering…

    Is an #autodidact necessarily someone with an innate talent for self-learning or merely someone who does it because they have no other choice?—either we are unable to learn from others or others are unable or unwilling to teach us. 🤔

    Or we just like to learn on our own?

  22. How many focused hours did it take you to get your first job?

    I finally got my first offer for a Junior Dev position, which I snapped up. I'm completely self-taught when it comes to coding, but had dabbled on and off since middle school. I got serious about a couple years ago and because I keep pretty good track of my hourly learning/project time I can say it took me about 600 hours to get the offer, but maybe I was ready at 450 / 500? Please count hours in school too!

    Limits exist for reasons though, and there's not a straight line from inputs to #semantic memory building.

    Also, the #chatbots aren't responsible for creating more #information than we can consume, that comes from the digital revolution- computers, internet, etc.

    So from that starting point (info overload), these #digital search assistants (DA) can help reduce search & reading time considerably, if used with careful consideration.

    After receiving the filtered summary of relevant info (then converted to written notes), we can switch the frame of reference of our #DA to that of a tutor, asking for a series of questions in conversation style meant to illicit the correct answers from us rather than giving them directly.

    I imagine their ability to ask questions from the POV of our teacher will be as great as their ability to answer our endless trivia questions, and much more beneficial.

  26. I stumbled into this fantastic free textbook on physics while reading about the 4 fundamental forces.

    Looks like openstax.org/ has a lot of good free educational resources.

  30. Did a few project-based #fpga tutorials and I'm interested, but am not getting the mindset from them. Tried a few basic #circuit and got them working, but struggled with #verilog #syntax

    Then I accidentally stumbled on #hdlbits

    hdlbits.01xz.net/wiki/Main_Pag

    Problem sets to take you through it step by step! And at the perfect time, right after I struggled trying to solve something! Now when I find the feature I needed I'll recognize it. Plus I can concentrate on the core, not the tools. #autodidact

  31. Time for an #introduction post!

    I'm Jenny the #botanist I live in northwest Washington between the mountains and the sea.
    In my professional life I write copy on a variety of topics, mainly pertaining to #horticulture , wild plants, and general #biology . I'm also a #druid #pagan , #Essayist native plant steward, #forager , amateur #herbalist , lifelong #autodidact , history nerd, embroiderer, #ethnobotany , enthusiast, proud wife to my #trans wife, mother of two, and a wandering #poet

  32. Starting my reading projects tomorrow!
    First week of the year: Flatland by Edwin Abbott, Harvard Classics Volume 1: Autobiography of Ben Franklin, The Journal of John Woolman & Fruits of Solitude by William Penn & Volume 1 of the Gateway to the Great Books: Introduction; Syntopical Guide + #BradburyTrio

  33. @etnom @aproposnix It is a good time to be an #autodidact, there is so much available online!

    Like course materials for almost everything at MIT:

    I am interested in this same question! Decades before I learned the word #neurodivergent or began to think of myself as #ActuallyAutistic I was ACUTELY aware that my learning style was that of an #autodidact (despite not knowing that word either) -- more specifically, that I learned very differently from my peers. I got through college with hardly any interaction with professors, advisors or TAs. Today the narrow subjects that I feel I'm an "expert" in are entirely self taught.

  35. I didn't do an #introduction! I'm not very good at this social media stuff. I've been under a nice mossy rock for quite a few years with no social media contact at all.
    I'm Neece.

  36. An introduction for me! I'm a #bookworm, who adores #romance especially. I'm also an #autodidact and a classicist with a solid intersectional leftist affiliation. I can be found elsewhere here: tlinwright.com/social-media/
