Tutorial hell might be some type of procrastination. I’d watch YouTube videos all day on all topics because I didn’t want to create something and just “learn”, but it doesn’t create real skill and it is not where the fun lies.

The biggest challenge might just be to find the thing you want and can do. If you really want to learn, then you might just regulate your want to some beginner level that is borderline useless.

Take language leaning for example, you want to speak enough to understand a conversation, but as this takes a LOT of time it gets frustrating really fast. What you can do is learn a simple sentence and try to speak it and understand it. “Good morning, how are you doing?” — “Guten Morgen, wie geht es dir?”.

Or programing, don’t think about this huge project, but a simple simple action; read variables from a document or create a function for some math. One of my first programing was calculating Fibonacci numbers.

In my opinion it might not be so bad to be stuck in tutorial hell, it might just be a form of entertainment for you. But if its a form of addiction, then maybe treat it as such. If it is a form of escaism then treat it as such. If it is adhd or autism or something else then treat it as such. Take simple and small steps, celebrate successes however small they are and think why you defaulted to tutorials instead of doing something, even thought you want to do something

Bang.

Because I thought of a funny word first an then read the post til the end

I blocked some shitheads on this platform FOR THE EMPIRE

You are assuming like 10 layers of the relationship in this whole conversation.

Isn’t ironfox anti fingerprint already? At least librewolf recommends ironfox on mobile and canvasblock when you turn off the librewolf resist fingerprint options

What are the specific problems (these are not yes or no questions, at least answer for your self the how and why’s (eg emotions) if you don’t want to share):

• are you unable to start?
• are you unable to continue because of boredom or is it actual physical repulsion to learning?
• do you force yourself to start and continue even thought your mind is somewhere else?
  Identify where the problem arises and why and if there are parts you are able to do. It might be emotional or it might be a structure problem (like problems with starting and getting into it might be lack of understanding the topic and the thing you need to learn because it feels overwhelming.)
• do you feel pressured to learn (parents, system and future, by yourself and your stamdards)
• do you have a clear structure of the thing you need to learn? (Do you understand the assignment and the steps associated with it)
• is it for things like homework or for learning for exams or staying ontop of the learning (reviewing notes) or do you struggle in all aspects
• have you any strengths on what things can keep your attention and what you are drawn towards (games, being creative, literature, movies/ series, art, music, makijg presentations, teaching/ explaining things, experiments, etc.) you can try and extrapolate a solution on how to engage with a topic from that. If you like to write, then it might be fun to write a short story about idk a wizard who summons physics spells so you’d have to engage with latin and physics to make your story work
• do you have any mental health problems you need to adress, trauma, depression, etc (or as mentioned here neuro divergence like adhd and autism) They all impact your abilies to concentrate and engage with learning most things get better with meditation/ mindfulnes practise but only do so when it’s save for you
• do you just want to get good enough results on the exams? I always thought it’s the most fun to engage with tests directly and answer questions and look up answers for questions then a practise book or online ressources might help.

I second this, but this post reads a bit messy imo.

• study how to study, there is some great research out there
• structure your learning into managable chunks; this takes a bit of understanding the topic and your attention before learning

Huh I Didn’t say that and didn’t notice you could read it like that. I meant I dont need to know more. I know a reference and that reference has a tragic backstory to it and I don’t want to traumatize myself by knowing the actual backstory. Thank you for telling me

Why is this getting down votes, the song IS good! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPLqsLsooJY

To answer a lesser answered sub question of a question: what is a weight?

Imagine you have an output, its either a or b. You have an input, whatever it is. And then there is a weight in the middle. The weight determines wether the output will be a or b.

In math it would be a function input*weight=output.

ANN (Artificial Neural Networks, just afancy name) is a chain of a whole bunch of weights. There are layers and each layer generates an output from a bunch of weights and the next layer uses it as inputs. The name comes from the visualization, which looks like neurons firing to other neurons (from biology, things that make your brain work).

Everything that isn’t water.

For those downvoting here an adjacent TIL: million:

mille = thousant

ion = great, big

(i don’t actually know the real english or latin words, and don’t care enough to fact check them) so one million is a big thousand! And the abbriviation is not called mil (that would be thousand) but mio, thats a million. colloquially mil might still mean million, it got lost in translation and those who know are the minority.

(you don’t have to be witty when you want to be savage.)

They don’t seem to be nice people, so I wouldn’t recomment to try being friends with them. If they bother you and you want to change it then speak up that they are out of line, but do so at your own accord, not because someone told you to, because you need to assess the situation. If they are reasonable then they might just not realise they are out of line, if they actually want to insult you then then it might just fuel the flames. I’d write something like “stop bothering me”

Maybe it would also be good to include software options into this?

Like browsers (librewolf, hardend firefox, etc.)

Browsers on mobile

Search engines (ddg, kagi, …)

email providers (proton, tuta, …)

Vpns (proton, ivpn, airvpn, …)

Messanger (signal, …)

Or things like FreeTube to reduce telemetry and ads from youtube

And alternatives such as lemmy for reddit, mastodon for twitter

It will bloat this post quite a bit, and they are more easily accessable to find, but it’s nice to gather all the materials needed in one place maybe?
