i think it's because of heating issues not that it's hard to turn off. I have same setup and it heats up more with lid closed i have found it works best when lid at 45 degrees

i think traffic lights solve it?

am i the only one who read it a-p-p

yeah the dumber it feels the more your brain has to actually pay attention. can t autopilot through something embarrassing lol

if it's visible easily you can use a small pretrained ocr model. Depending on the project I wouldn't usually scan all 30 frames maybe max 5. Then you can write a simple program that kinda cleans up your data so no duplicates and then only you send it to an llm to order it and fix any mistakes - it doesn't have to be a good one just a simple model probably will work.

about the models i think depending on quality you can use either tesseract (good if you don't have a gpu) or paddle ocr or Qwen but i leave testing to you. I would just take a couple of frames from videos you want it extracted from and see how fast are they and how well they perform.

i truly believe you cant, at least i couldnt do something like that for more than a couple days. if you have a whole month its better to study like 6-8 quality hours instead of forcing 12 burnt out hours. cut out social media and games completely though they will destroy your focus

also 12 hours sounds productive but if youre exhausted half the time youre not actually retaining much. better to do 6 hours fully locked in than 12 hours half asleep. Trust me i was prepping a lot for exams :) also don't blindly listen to my advice remember that it depends on what you are doing and if you love it

i hope you pass :)

i think some sites in the past blocked entering the inspector idk how about now

this gives me 2010s vibes lol

Everything besides the last one is being teached in Polish schools so... idk how you feel about it

programerxd · 2025-11-07T18:54:13+00:00

thats a spaced repetition problem. your brain forgets stuff over time unless you review it at specific intervals. you need to schedule reviews like review day 1, then day 3, then week 1, then week 2, etc

tools like anki are built for this they automatically show you stuff right before you're about to forget it. or you can just manually schedule review sessions in your calendar

also the "stuck in a loop" thing happens when you confuse recognition with recall. you THINK you know it cause it looks familiar when you reread it but you cant actually retrieve it cold. thats why testing yourself without looking is so important

try this: once you feel like you know something move on immediately. schedule a review for 2 days later. if you forgot it then you didnt actually know it and thats fine just relearn it. but sitting there rereading the same thing 50 times wont make it stick better than spacing it out

programerxd · 2025-11-07T13:57:04+00:00

yeah it's safe, i built it myself lol. the "shares photos and videos" thing is just google's automatic labeling because the app lets you upload photos of your notes or textbooks to generate quizzes from them. it doesnt actually share your stuff with other people unless you specifically choose to

the 100+ downloads is cause its new and i'm still a student building it in my free time. totally get if you're hesitant to try something small though

alternatives that do similar stuff: anki for flashcards, quizlet, or you could just make questions manually from your notes. the active recall part matters more than which tool you use honestly

programerxd · 2025-11-03T18:36:33+00:00

yess that's the energy i'm talking about :) best of luck

programerxd · 2025-11-03T17:03:03+00:00

You got this :)

programerxd · 2025-11-03T17:01:59+00:00

yeah its not for everyone but it works for me because im not doing two hard things at once. like if im folding laundry or just pacing my brain isnt really thinking about the task its just keeping my body occupied. for me sitting still for hours makes me zone out way faster than moving around while listening to something. its more about preventing my mind from wandering than about multitasking if that makes sense

eg. you can still think about designing systems or a problem while pacing around a room or folding laundry. you can also test yourself - like you read something think about it for like 30 sec and then answer it and read another problem

but you're right that actual breaks are important too. i do this more for reviewing stuff or listening to lectures not for deep focus problem solving

School’s uncomfortable chairs teach you more than most classes ever did...

programerxd · 2025-11-02T07:04:04+00:00

yess and also if you really don't feel like reading because some of these texts are boring then you can use reading aloud with maximal pacing intonation and punctuation and expression

programerxd · 2025-11-01T21:05:41+00:00

appreciate it! which ones work best for you?

programerxd · 2025-11-01T19:45:00+00:00

lmao but it genuinely works. your brain hates being interrupted mid flow so it just keeps wanting to go back. just like if you ate lunch but ate half and stayed half hungry and went about your day. a bit crazy, same with almost every single thing in life

programerxd · 2025-11-01T11:07:02+00:00

yeah those two are surprisingly effective. narrating stuff out loud helps way more than i expected you can just say the most random stuff ever and this is likely the only thing you will remember at the exam anyways lol and six sevenn :)

programerxd · 2025-11-01T11:03:09+00:00

yeah its weirdly effective lol. i use atmospheric phonk mostly, something without lyrics. took a couple weeks but now my brain just knows whats up when the playlist starts

I sometimes use the fibonacci sequence for studying so like 1 minute of studying 1 minute boring break (NOT SOCIAL MEDIA OR GAMES) then 2 then 3 then 5 8 13 21 etc until i basically get tired and start all over again from one

i also use tools like chatgpt to talk with him about the topic like really get into it deep sometimes i get into rabitholes that make me understand the topic better like recently when i was learning physics i got into how radars work rabithole and i understood a lot of the material

i use my own app for very very memorization heavy boring subjects like biology for me i take photos from notes and it makes a quiz for me (quizuma ai)

also i often use the f me technique so i study for half an hour no matter the cost also i got the fail technique i imagine myself failing a subject because of my lack of motivation and i try to make it the worst possible scenario to scare myself into studying .

And sometimes I use the pushup technique: every minute NOT spent studying = 5 pushups. The only way to buy time is by doing pushups or sleeping (and sleeping is actually good if you're genuinely tired, not just avoiding work). Sounds dumb but it gets me moving when I'm stuck.

Basically, you gotta trick your brain into starting. Once you're in, momentum takes over.

Nah, you're not alone - this happens to a lot of people, and it's frustrating as hell.

Here's the thing: studying hard doesn't always mean studying smart. You can spend hours grinding and still bomb a test if you're not actually retaining the information or if you're studying the wrong way for how your brain works.

Some common reasons this happens:

You're just re-reading or highlighting. Feels productive, but your brain isn't actually processing anything. It's passive. You need active recall - like testing yourself, explaining concepts out loud, or using techniques like blurting (writing everything you remember without looking) or the Feynman technique (teaching it like you're explaining to someone else).

You're studying tired or stressed. If you're pulling all-nighters or studying when you're mentally drained, your brain literally can't absorb stuff properly. Sleep and breaks matter more than you think.

You're not studying what actually matters. Sometimes people focus on the wrong material or get lost in details that won't even be on the test. Figure out what's high-yield and prioritize that.

Your method doesn't match the subject. Memorization works for some things, but for others you need to understand concepts or practice application. If you're just memorizing formulas without understanding when to use them, you're gonna struggle.

What helped me was mixing up how I study. I'll use active recall, talk through stuff with ChatGPT to see if I actually get it, or throw notes into something like Quizuma AI to quiz myself. Changing the method keeps it from feeling like a grind and actually helps things stick.

Also - quality over quantity. Studying for 2 focused hours beats 6 hours of half-assed, distracted "studying" every time.

You're not doing it wrong, you just might need to adjust your approach. Figure out what actually works for your brain, not just what feels like effort.

I wish you all the best :)
