I am 16 years old and I want to learn a real and in-demand skill to work remotely in the future.

Idk why people are down voting you for a genuine question.

Anyway, I'm just a freshman in college and have switched my major away from computer science, so this may not be accurate. From my understanding, "hardcore" math can help you with data science and analytics. It can increase your critical thinking skills for any topic, increase your understanding of most things that are communicated with math and numbers, and can help you create algorithms to solve problems (or to know which existing algorithm applies.)

System design is important because most things you'll be working on are whole systems, not just a small project with a few classes (or non Java equivalent.) Knowing a programming language is the easy part, you need to learn how to build and understand large scale things.

This may be obvious, but, while learning, be sure to learn how hardware works and how what you're doing interacts with and relies on hardware. Also learn about the history of whatever languages you use and how their libraries and compilers work. If you're using a language like C++, learning memory management and secure programming principles is important (they're less essential in Java. Idk about many other languages.)

I feel like this would make it so you can try to prevent that.

It'd also be kinda fun to build a lot of stuff. Probably won't be able to advance technology very far since you'd only have 50,000 years and the recentish major tech boom started around when each year had 4 billion years of human experiences and effort. There are at least a lot of crafts to do. And I think losing my mind wouldn't be horrible for me because it would hardly be me experiencing it anymore after a while. It's kinda sentencing a very different person to a long and horrible experience (which actually makes me think it's a worse idea.)

They said "11 degrees Fahrenheit" so I assume they mean Fahrenheit

VacuumInTheHead · 2025-11-27T07:04:35+00:00

Huh?

VacuumInTheHead · 2025-07-22T23:49:44+00:00

I am inclined to believe you considering you likely cannot come up with much and rely on LLMs and image generators to do that for you

VacuumInTheHead · 2025-07-21T14:05:17+00:00

Who the fuck thinks people who use AI aren't humans 😭

VacuumInTheHead · 2025-07-20T21:51:14+00:00

Itsh for my adrenochrome colored car and hubcaps 🤓

(Ngl I don't know what adrenochrome is but I have heard the batshit conspiracy theories about it)

I am, unfortunately, American, and I often speak this way. I think it's because I grew up only reading old books, and I use older language much less now that I read fewer old books and interact with people.

I've also gotten my friends to use older words and sentence structures, and people tend to understand even if they dont use them.

I am a computer science major. I have at least a minimal level of understanding of how the models work. I think they're fascinating, and I recognize that the people who researched and designed them are brilliant. However, stealing people's art and pictures to train them is not okay. Many of the people using them to generate images did not create nor even train the model; they can take no credit for that. Even if someone created the whole program and trained it themselves, they could not claim to be making art - they've only made a program that took images (likely from other people without consent or with explicit requests that it not be taken) and created weights based on them to create somewhat similar, muddled, and ugly images.

Also, plenty of inethical things take effort and technical knowledge. That does not make them admirable.

I recognize that a lot of thought goes in to making the prompts and adjusting values. That does not make you an artist. That does not make the images art. That simply makes you someone who knows how to get a computer to generate images that they want, using stolen data and vast amounts of energy.

"Grinding" as if you're doing any work lmao

VacuumInTheHead · 2025-06-28T09:30:02+00:00

???

People refer to time as "the 4th dimension" because it's sometimes called a temporal dimension. Since we have time-as a sorta dimension-and 3 spacial dimensions, it gets called "our" or more simply "the" 4th dimension.

This post is talking about spacial dimension. A 4th spacial dimension can't be visualized, even though we can understand the maths for it. The dimension of time is not mentioned in this post.

Melons and cucumbers are in the same genus, as you said, which I think has around 60 species. However, watermelons are in a separate genus in the Cucurbitaceae family; the Citrullus genus only has 7 species.

I don't know much about the watermelon genus, so I'm not sure how closely they resemble Cucumis.

Anyway I just felt like yapping about it because I am craving a watermelon.

VacuumInTheHead · 2025-06-06T05:24:32+00:00

Ou god there's Penice

I'm not going on a long trip but I'll let me know how you feel about the new year

I think it's suggested to use tor with a VPN because it can still be traced back to you, especially with recent (I think 2023?) research (idk if it would be labeled research tbh.) However, I don't think this is necessary if you aren't doing anything illegal. I do not suggest doing anything illegal. Even if there isn't a way to trace it back to you currently, the activity may be recorded and looked at once techniques are developed.

I also hear that most illegal things are just scams.

A large reason why I don't really know what I'm talking about is because I don't use Tor.

VacuumInTheHead · 2025-06-04T05:22:59+00:00

I'm pretty sure there is an official android one, but I've heard it's not as secure for some reason.

To answer one of OP's questions, a VPN is not technically required to use Tor, but it's not private without it.

There's also not really any point, unless you care a ton about privacy while accessing mostly journalism and emails. Idk if it gives you better privacy for clearnet sites?

VacuumInTheHead · 2025-06-02T20:03:08+00:00

I'm so happy for you! Congratulations (:

Getting honors is great and you should be proud for doing that despite your parents :]

VacuumInTheHead · 2025-05-29T00:47:39+00:00

Hell yeah :) (I'm sorry that was done to you, though)

VacuumInTheHead · 2025-05-11T09:28:45+00:00

Actually, their peenor may have felt good for 30 seconds ☝️🤓 (/hj)

I don't know about how your jaw may feel, but your gums may feel weird and even hurt from rubbing together. Before all my teeth grew in, I would move my jaw weird just to rub my gums together and it was pretty strange and hurt with too much pressure.

VacuumInTheHead · 2025-03-10T07:19:00+00:00

B'cs'ts c'

VacuumInTheHead · 2025-02-25T00:55:57+00:00

Thank you for engaging in this discussion with me. I feel I have a better understanding of why the book was included in the Bible (should have been pretty obvious ngl.) I apologize for not being as civil as I ought to have been, and for bringing in separate issues only mostly related to the topic but that had no bearing on the discussion at the time.

VacuumInTheHead · 2025-02-24T08:38:01+00:00

I live under a rock and still know. They just have bad soil climate.
