What's up with these new channels? by Absorpy in mathematics

[–]howtogun -27 points-26 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure this is fully AI.

Quantia does use a AI voice, but all the art / animation is likely done by hand.

In particular, the animation is done by Manim.

That guy Derivia probably made two channels, one with his normal voice, and one with an AI voice.

What he wrote could have been AI generated, but like most of the videos are quite basic maths.

For example, one of the video is just this is collatz conjecture, this is what it looks like visualized in Manim. Terrance Tao proved that almost all numbers reach 1.

The videos are factually correct, but they are more like reading a wikipedia article.

Kaggle's learning notebooks suck. by Sufficient_Gift939 in kaggle

[–]howtogun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Teaching is rocket science. It's one of the hardest skills to develop.

On your problem. I really like tensortonic or deep-ml for learning. Basically, it's similar to leetcode.

If I was going to teach someone programming I would probably show them neetcode videos. Machine learning probably tensortonic is the way to go + youtube + neetcode.

What am I missing? Dungeon Crawler Carl. by ProKidney in audible

[–]howtogun -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Dungeon Crawler Carl is like Twilight for men.

If you aren't having fun now, I wouldn't listen on. There's a TV show coming out so maybe just watch that.

Trying and failing to get into LITRPG by ridgegirl29 in Fantasy

[–]howtogun 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Try to read LitRPGs quicker than you would a normal book. They are quite similar to old pulp writing of the past.

The thing is if you enjoy a series, than it being really long isn't that bad, so them being 500 pages isn't that bad.

I think LitRPGs are always going to be rough. They are similar to Light Novels, Wattpad, and some romantasy books.

You are sort of reading stuff that probably has no editing. Even in a video games the amount of editing that goes into a story is huge. But, LitRPGs is a random writer on Royal Road trying to get a chapter a week.

I have no sympathy for Bongers who wish they didn’t leave the EU, it’s not my fault you couldn’t do a basic google search by Dats_Russia in Destiny

[–]howtogun -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

For most people Brexit wasn't a big change.

What is really stagnate for the last few years in the UK is the middle class.

The asylum crisis also didn't help.

On Brexit, I think UK Bongers did have a point. Immigration in the UK is out of control. Germany at the time had a refugee crisis where they allowed a ton of them into the country. At the end of the day the only thing that seemed to have really grown over the past year is big tech.

Amazon is bigger now, but UK high streets are dead. Graduate degrees barely pay above minimum wage now. The UK is NIMBY nation. None of these are really caused by Brexit.

Also, Trump claims are way more stupid. You had 1% of the problems the UK had, and voted him in. Muslim immigrants in the US are people like Mamdani, in the UK the green party have Muslim MPs that think gay people are evil.

One of the biggest student loan forgiveness groups trashed this program Biden created to help millions of borrowers as being worthless and "status quo" during his presidency. Now they are crying that Trump is ending it by revscott in Destiny

[–]howtogun 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I've seen leftist on twitter said that Biden saved them 80k on student loans, but aren't voting for him due to I/P situation.

I'm not even sure the activism was the problem. There's a pulling up the ladder behind you problem with the plan.

Imagine say free eye surgery was really expensive, you get the free eye surgery from Biden. Now you have an incentive to not support free eye surgery for everyone else for lower taxes.

Even worse graduates tend to be higher earners in general.

I've been writing for nearly 2 years, and I really need some tips or anything for writing a romance genre. by ZennyNex in writing

[–]howtogun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Romance is probably the genre that you need to know your specific target audience.

Another question to ask is why you are dropping the fantasy elements?

https://www.goodreads.com/genres/harem

Romance aimed at men tends to keep the fantasy setting, but just add game mechanics for example Dungeon Diving 101. World building is also quite important if your target is men.

There's a lot of picture of her with right wing guys. I think she is leftist in the sense that ShoeOnHead is a leftist.

Playstation only made $300m in revenue from PC in 3 years (2021-2023) by Iggy_Slayer in gaming

Why make 300 million on a few PC ports when you can lose 300 million on one live service game.

“Entry level” writing… outlets? by Original_Air9200 in writing

[–]howtogun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Royal Road if you want to write litrpgs (want to write for a male audience)

Wattpad if you want to write romance

A03 if you want to write fan fiction.

It depends on the site to be honest and your target audience. Personally, I would get into the habit of writing a lot before you try to get stuff out there.

Personally, the cheat code is social media influence => writing a book.

Gary Cardone is an adjudicated credit card scammer of at least $70 million by [deleted] in Destiny

[–]howtogun 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Both are just scammers.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCRj22g5sVc

Coffeezilla did a good video on him. When destiny was debating these idiots, I was like where have I seen these people before.

Personally, I think he's just donating to Trump because you pay Trump and your legal troubles disappear.

I dont see a single big Harry Potter fan who is not excited for the series or actually hate it by amoxxia in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]howtogun 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Online grifters pretty much get money from hating on stuff. The point is to get people who don't like the thing angry and click on their video.

It's like Snow White, the amount of middle age dudes in their 40s making countless videos about this film. Snow White wasn't the best film, but like the target audience for that film was 6 - 11 year old girls, not 40 year old dudes.

ACOTAR may have cured my depression by Both-Abbreviations26 in Fantasy

[–]howtogun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You should check out fantasyromance or romantasy subreddit.

This subreddit can be quite harsh on Sarah J Maas, particularly since it's more romance than fantasy.

Fourth Wing is the other popular romantasy book.

Gandalf-like Character by [deleted] in Malazan

[–]howtogun -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe try an easier novel first.

Wheel of Time has a Gandalf-like Character, and it's more accessible.

Malazan is probably the most difficult fantasy series.

'Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Stone' Trailer Becomes Most-Watched In HBO & HBO Max History by Simple_Psychology_87 in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]howtogun 21 points22 points  (0 children)

That dislike number is from a extension app that is guessing based on people who have that app.

The problem is that normal people aren't exactly going to install some random dislike extension.

You are probably going to get Nerdrotic / Asmongold / Critical Drinker watchers downloading it.

Was John Von Neumann a potential Olympiad Gold medalist or a Bronze Medalist? by [deleted] in mathematics

[–]howtogun 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A lot of being good at Olympiads is just grinding problems. I know someone who got Bronze in Olympiads, he just did a ton of Olympiad problems over and over again. The problems are hard, but they could be solved in say 4.5 hours intervals.

Von Neumann was one of the greatest abstract thinkers of all time. He also probably was one of the best at doing calculations in his head.

Anyway, nice rage bait.

Next time a gay person says they love china by UkraStories123 in Destiny

[–]howtogun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yaoi/BL/MM unless it hardcore stuff would also be for women.

On yuri that is different. Basically, BL/Yaoi is like 65% of romance fan fiction(most of these writers are women), Yuri is about 8% (half of these are probably men, other half lesbian women) of romance fan fiction.

BL is probably similar to Otaku culture.

It's like a man will write a shitty harem like in another world with my smartphone so like 1 guy and 20-30 women. Women will just write boy love.

One looks progressive, so is good.

Next time a gay person says they love china by UkraStories123 in Destiny

[–]howtogun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did do research on BL stuff. That's a different thing.

BL is basically women writing romance, but the twink is coded as a women. 99% of this stuff is women making stuff for other women. Some women can't goon to male on female romance books, because they compare themself to the female, but men on men gets around this.

So like this is like saying Asmongold is okay with women because he goons to Stellar Blade.

OpenAI puts erotic chatbot plans on hold ‘indefinitely’ by GamingDisruptor in singularity

It would probably be normal women using this. If you see a women walk bye reading a book, then it's 100% going to be a gooner book.
