I want to program, but I can't. I have no ideas which I feel are suited to my skill level. Everything I read about is either too easy or too complex, and everything that I want to work on is far too complex for me to work on.
I want to improve myself and work on the things I am really interested in, but I can't improve myself if I don't work on intermediate projects, and I have no idea what to work on to get my skills to that level.
It's depressing. It has got to the point where I haven't seriously written a line of code in a few months. I want to do something, but I always find excuses to not do it.
How do you guys deal with crushing laziness and ineptitude? How do you improve yourself? How do you motivate yourself to realize your programming dreams? How do I become the Master Programmer?
Is this Jew is confused or perhaps tries to confuse? Because human brain doesn't work the way he imagines. Brain is just a big markov chain. Brain does have attention span and sampling rate, but brain cant run out of memory or lost efficiency, unless get considerable physical damage to some area of brain.
it'll be largely effortless for you (except for the 'learning the difficult concepts' part) but it'll enlighten you about how beautiful and skillful (and whatever) programming can be.

A Markov chain (discrete-time Markov chain or DTMC[1]) named after Andrey Markov, is a mathematical system that undergoes transitions from one state to another on a state space. It is a random process usually characterized as memoryless: the next state depends only on the current state and not on the sequence of events that preceded it
I'm the one saying >>27-nigger is the stupid one because I know what a Markov chain is. Take that shotgun out of your ass and shave that disgusting moustache, fucking french faggot le connard i speako like le mexican with a dick'e in my c'mouth le enculer my boyfriend is le jacques.
>>35 My hypothesis is that he's being serious but now tries to use Kodak's terms to avoid being mocked for his (ab)use of the ``pseudo-intellectual retard'' insult.
That said, I think some people here would fit wonderfully on lesswrong, the kike site made by kikes for kikes.
That memory is hardwired to sample specific parts of brain. I.e. visual cortex memory reacts to optic nerve outputs. And it isn't the memory the von neumann's sense, because it also does processing, which basically predicts what follows from input (i.e. a markov chain to predict next state).
And when one references "distraction", "losing attention" or "breaking concentration", he means that something disturbs him from following a markov chain to produce hypotheses about future. Learning basically involves training these chains, but as soon as you learn something, you will find future encounters with it boring and lose interest. So there is no danger of people being addicted to specific activity, unless it produces some dopamine feedback loop.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_for_Advanced_Study#Criticism When I was at Princeton in the 1940s I could see what happened to those great minds at the Institute for Advanced Study, who had been specially selected for their tremendous brains and were now given this opportunity to sit in this lovely house by the woods there, with no classes to teach, with no obligations whatsoever. These poor bastards could now sit and think clearly all by themselves, OK? So they don't get any ideas for a while: They have every opportunity to do something, and they're not getting any ideas. I believe that in a situation like this a kind of guilt or depression worms inside of you, and you begin to worry about not getting any ideas. And nothing happens. Still no ideas come. Nothing happens because there's not enough real activity and challenge: You're not in contact with the experimental guys. You don't have to think how to answer questions from the students. Nothing!
