How do you approach learning? I'm very good at learning, can I maybe help? Talk to me.

You have wings. Don't talk yourself into not trying flying.

Practice takes care of that. Start with a subject that is simpler than faces, and progress incrementally.

Not quite like that, but yes, sure. I can decide not to process what comes in my eye, as long as it's not a tiger or something. Then I don't see it. If it's a familiar face or a threat, then it's harder to phase out, alm

Well, there's the mind's fear. If you quiet it down and ask yourself "What am I afraid of happening?" you'll get an answer. It will usually be something you need to urgently attend to, or you'll regret it. It&#

It's not a solution, but it does help. When you learn to understand, feel what your mind is doing you can more easily adjust it. I would start with 3-4 minutes of boxed breathing back when I learned visualisation. Nothing would happen

Start with motion. Focus on a point. Move that focus around. Get to two points. Spread them apart, move them closer together. Advance to tracing letters. One after the other, into a word. Movement is key. Try reading that backwards. And so

Yes. This is "your mind's eye". This is how I went from not being aware "picture yourself on a beach" was more than a figure of speech to being able to decompose mechanisms and take measurements all in my mind. This

Describing faces is like drawing. Drawing is like constructing. If you don't notice the relationships of parts, don't break things down – you can't do it. Don't be afraid of your dreams. They are part of you. Part of you

Those are made up categories for a made up disorder. That's like "depression". There is no one kind. How depressed are you? Very? Not so much? How would you even know?

That's similar to how I started learning. Did you try advancing past that though? Trace a word letter by letter, read it backwards? Take two points, move them apart? Make one green, one blue? It took me months to get from points to a s

From the sheer amount of different descriptions of this Aphantasia it should be obvious that most of it will cluster not in "disorder of the brain" or some such, but in "different levels of ability, due to skill". I was

You know what, I just might do a training app for you all. After all, I know a thing or two about that.

It's not an infectious disease, and in my case wasn't a disorder of some kind. I just never was told that it's a learnable skill. I just told you it is. You might have luck starting with a point, or maybe with a word – try tr

The way you learn anything. 0_o You need a journal. You need deliberate practice. You need progressive goals. I did about 5 minutes every 2 to 10 days. First, no other thoughts. I did mindful boxed breathing for about 3-4 minutes. Then, a p

It took 3 years of practice to develop an internal movie-CAD. But now I have it. It's worth it.

Thanks. Noted. How would you take it?

by godDLL 5y ago
Did you actually try and do a progression, with a journal? From point, to colored points, to simple shapes, to textured surfaces, to lit and moving mechanisms? I learned. You can too.

A few years back I couldn't visualize a point. Recently I learned to read words backwards in my mind. It's a skill.

I was like you until the age of 34 or so. Now I can make full corporeal models that move in time and walk around them. Learn. And people don't visualize things the way I learned. They "see" the same spotty attention-point clo

I've gotten through something like that. The solution should be to rebuild your body, using strengthened core to support yourself after. The rebuild starts with autophagy, which is achieved by fasting. To get into 3 days every three we

I liked Zig. I liked it a lot. But it doesn't run on OSX 10.12.x which is the last OSX version I'll be using for some time. Nim, on the other hand does. It also does microcontrollers and browsers. Couldn't ask for more.

The depend mgmt part is like that because people have different wants. There are DevOps wants, system packager wants, user wants and coder wants. And they are somewhat orthogonal, but not entirely. Each of the tools you mention have their g

I've stumbled on something called Unihertz Jelly 2 in this thread. If only I could get one. They seem to not have made many to go around.

Python is a very sound environment, with fantastic libraries and documentation. The tooling is superb. The resulting code is poetry, readable and expressive. I personally have moved on to a Nim + Lua combo (depending on use case), because I

I use the phone for, you know, phone. Scroll recents or contacts, pick one, call. Don't need nothing else. No notifications, for sure. Also, f.ck text, call me.
