Ovid was a Roman not a Greek.

The story doesn't define him as asexual. It does say he scorned and mocked people who then cursed him:

‘So may he himself love, and so may he fail to command what he loves!’

Also according to this article at Cornell, Ovid was the sole poet of the story and there aren't any earlier versions, so it is likely both of our interpretations are askew.

While what you say might have grains of truth in it, it's likely that the story was originally a warning about eating a poisonous plant that resembles an onion more than an attack on asexuals. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissus_(plant)

I'm not saying they can't overcome it or that it is universal. It's just a theory I have based on early observations.

Now, it does make sense that a GUI only person would have to play catch up compared to a person the same age who has a decade of exposure to using a terminal if they're going to code in a terminal. It's just different mindsets and workflows.

At my work the younger coders who say they prefer GUI coding (and are terminal avoidant) seem to have more trouble and their debugging methods have many more steps and take longer. Many times they run everything in Jupyter notebooks and avoid running the processes in terminal at all. This is a problem if they put off end to end testing until the very last moment instead of testing incrementally.

Also, for context, this is to create production level Python code which is to be deployed on a terminal only server.

I'd want to make a measurable experiment with a larger sample size to confirm this theory though, as the systems are complex enough there are many possible reasons for these patterns. I'm just very aware these days of that moment of hesitance, like a deer in headlights, when some people have to open the terminal to solve their problem.

I have a theory that the crowd of people who learned computers or iPads etc from GUIs only, they have a harder time with terminal. Those who used DOS a lot find it to be a happy space.

This is cool. Which segmentation network are you rocking? It looks like a SAM to me. Is this in automatic111 now or are you doing extra steps by hand?

Can I see the equation you're using to calculate these probabilities?

Cats can carry toxoplasmosis which seems to have a correlation to schizophrenia. This could be the cause of crazy cat lady syndrome: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29068607/
