Wow, the precision with which this struck me is concerning. I’m really, incredibly autistic at all times aren’t I?
i’m pretty sure playing eve online is a diagnostic criterium for aspergers
Why do autistic people love pie charts with red circles?
Please don’t shout. I’m very sensitive to noise and I left my loops at home.
C and Rust mentioned in one meme? Be more careful to not cause a ruckus next time.
Yeah, please limit your programming language mentions to memory safe languages only!
No dinosaurs‽‽ XD
No space as well, or dinosaurs in space?

Either and both! 🤓
Fixed 👍
Cool! XD
What’s up with Maxwell and Autism?
I wanted to represent science, math and engineering with those.
I see a flag. I like flags. Especially the Japanese flags. I don’t specifically care for Japan, but the flag is one of my favourites. I prefer flags with low entropy: so I wrote a script once that ranks the nations flags by entropy so I could quantify my preference. Thanks for letting me infodump a bit.
Edit: Due to people aski g for it: here is the top ten of my ranking:
Nations' flag entropy ranking (n=208).

def color_weighted_spectral_entropy(image): b_channel, g_channel, r_channel = cv2.split(image) # Calculate spectral entropy for each channel def channel_spectral_entropy(channel): f_transform = np.fft.fft2(channel) f_shifted = np.fft.fftshift(f_transform) magnitude_spectrum = np.abs(f_shifted) if np.sum(magnitude_spectrum) > 0: normalized = magnitude_spectrum / np.sum(magnitude_spectrum) else: normalized = magnitude_spectrum # Entropy calculation with color channel weighting epsilon = 1e-10 entropy = -np.sum(normalized * np.log2(normalized + epsilon)) return entropy weighted_entropy = ( 0.333 * channel_spectral_entropy(b_channel) + 0.333 * channel_spectral_entropy(g_channel) + 0.333 * channel_spectral_entropy(r_channel) ) return float(weighted_entropy)“White_field” is just an array that holds zeroes. I use this as a sanity check. Code is on github. I can send DM to whomever is interested. I guess it can also be searched for.
Hmm. It seems weird that any tricolour flags would have different entropies, but I don’t know how you would otherwise do a multichannel entropy.
I was imagining a kolmogorov-esque doodad
Yes! And weirder that bicolour banded flags are not consistently on top. I suspect some float errors. I just know that using the typical Shannon style does even worse. I might add some filter that calculates a differential or something.
This is male centric as the female’s I know in the spectrum have different interests generally speaking.
True, but what would be common interests of female autists? Biology? Tumblr?
