What did I forget?

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:

Here's how I defined the entropy value for each flag:

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.

C and Rust mentioned in one meme? Be more careful to not cause a ruckus next time.

What do the cat ears have to do with Maxwell's equations

Wow, the precision with which this struck me is concerning. I'm really, incredibly autistic at all times aren't I?

Stupidly large murika style cars are gonna be a no from me dawg

Look at that thing, the bonnet comes up to this stomach!

Not autism approved nu-uh

Is this how I find out I'm autistic??

I'm not autistic but I like most of these things.

What's up with Maxwell and Autism?

I feel personally attacked, how did you know my entire personality

No Sonic mention? Shame

black people are popular with the autistics?

Conlangs!!

Why is Lain so popular these days? I still have my rips from 20 years ago on an old hard drive.

I just don't seem to understand.

Why do autistic people love pie charts with red circles?

Me except im not that intrested in Japan (I love Vietnam tho), im not that intrested in Minecraft (ive just played it for too long), not that intrested in Pokémon (never got into it). You forgot a few things tho

1. Programming socks
2. Star Trek
3. :3
4. Mechanical keyboards
5. Walkable cities (and a general obsession with people focused city planning)

No dinosaurs‽‽ XD

Based on posts around here, the Roman Empire.

i see linux,minecraft,japan(i just like the games that originate from this country mostly),thinkpad,C,Rust
wait....
I think I’m autistic.

haterner miku!!!!

*edit, since OP is adding things in I removed the white background. Also for OP, you can use https://www.remove.bg/upload for that, you don't get the full quality image but for this use case it's good enough

I didn't use to be autistic.

But then it got hyped so I got on board and now I am also autistic.

Because I don't want to be different from my peers.

You forgot pride flags, blahaj, astronomy, and psychedelics. I would also say far-left politics, but there's plenty of right-wing autists out there too.

Thinkpads are objectively good laptops tho. At least T series.

Especially for linux.

Magic the Gathering and D&D

It needs timepieces. Or am I the only one who likes NTP, ISO-8601, sundials and Casio F-91Ws?

Not a fan of Japan tbh

I obsess over half of these things and my kids' mom the other. Our kids never stood a chance.

(Mostly just us) Fursuit/furry stuffs, a billion plushies, bicycles, city architecture, trams, hiding when guests are over, Star Wars, one piece, the *perfect note book * (it’s one we made from a spare book cardboard, sewed in our own pages and it in many many stickers,) Books, old English, ASL/writing what to say when non verbal and safe foods

Japan, Lemmy, Minecraft. Damn, I think I'm autistic.

Fursuiting ware

i'm pretty sure playing eve online is a diagnostic criterium for aspergers

Aren't these things like popular among, well, people in general? There isn't really anything here that sticks out.

Not me learning how to solve a rubix cube last week and buying 3 more cubes recently

is this an engineering meme?

Please don't shout. I'm very sensitive to noise and I left my loops at home.

I relate to others, but isn't the Rubix cube quite common in STEM people? Dunno what that has to do with autism

Where's Fallout? I fucken swear a quarter of the fan base is autistic, the other quarters are trans, fascists, and Slavs.

This is male centric as the female’s I know in the spectrum have different interests generally speaking.

Star Wars!

When my son joined Cub Scouts, we went to our first big Cub event, some big potluck dinner, and I sat next to a kid with a Star Wars t-shirt. I love Star Wars, saw the first movie in the theater, and have been a fan my whole life, so I asked, "You a Star Wars fan?" And he started talking, and so did I.

We were having a nice conversation about Star Wars, when his mother came up and said "Are you talking about Star Wars again? What did we say about that? You can't just start talking to random strangers about Star Wars!"

I responded, "No, you don't understand, I asked him about it. I love Star Wars, too," and the kid looked really happy that I'd defended him.

His mom said, "You don't understand, he has Asbergers, he'll NEVER stop talking about it," which didn't sound so bad to me, I had lots to talk about with this kid, he was a big fan, and knew his stuff.

We parted, but I've wondered ever since if I have Asperger's about Star Wars, too. Probably Music, too.

I prefer the actual C successor to the marriage of flesh of OCaml and C. It's actually good at game development, not just at rolling out countless of engines.
