Work of art

Is there an increase in the rate of the TRUE population of those on the spectrum (not just those diagnosed)? I'm frankly not sure. That seems like a difficult thing to figure out. Historical data on autism is flawed precisely due to the history of autism itself.

It is my understanding that there's a few factors here. One is a huge increase in understanding of autism over the decades, another is a decrease in social stigma over it. Many people in the past (especially women) would have been classified as autistic in the past with our modern knowledge.

I swear this is the one consistent thing i've experienced with microsoft products.

It gets worse when you try to use multiple microsoft tools assuming theyll work together. They have so many redundant pieces of software and I swear all of them were made totally in isolation from each other.

I feel its important to mention that in this case gen AI has taken joy away from creating art for many artists. Many of them are afraid and reluctant to share art online out of a genuine worry their work will be stolen for model training. So yeah, joy is there. But its being lessened.

And its cool that if you try and treat it as a traditional bivariate transformation you end up in a really gnarly algebra mess. One you can totally avoid if you recognize that you can rewrite everything as a radius, angle, and two sides of a triangle. Super fucking cool. Completely irritating.

Anyway I had to do a bivariate transformation on two uniform rvs using trig functions that resulted in two independent standard normals. Was super cool. Was fun to be forced to bring trig concepts back into the mix and actually draw out diagrams again. Horrible experience, but neat.

What is/is not AI has become a more confusing topic every day as it feels like the conversation is now being ran by business execs, sales people and AI "thought leaders". It's all vibes.

Yeah I cant help but feel that the confidence level IS attached to the statement as it dictates the width of the thing. But I guess thats just context?

We’re almost there. Just gotta not trip right before the finish line.

Ugh. I dont even want to look at my monitors anymore.

Yup! The response variable was quite 0 heavy which I didn't notice or think about at the time. This is just for a simple class project so I've swapped to a different response variable that is a lot more well behaved. Definitely wasn't as thorough as I should've been initially.

Noone wanting to do it is the reason education is so valuable and self-directed learning is so much harder! You’re forced to do stuff that’s important that you don’t want to do but makes you stronger in the long run. If college was only the stuff we wanted to do we’d never learn anything!

Honestly this youtube channel deserves royalties for any money I make in the future. I’ve relied on these playlists to survive work and school so much over like the half a decade+ and I don’t think thats changing anytime soon.
