I guess if there is an app then there is a possibility that it could do something. I’m still using an oldish monitor that never had any sort of app.
How is the monitor feeding this data back to the manufacturer if it is connected via HDMI or DisplayPort? From my understanding, these only have low bandwidth reverse communication for control signalling etc, and even if you could repurpose those there would need to be some sort of driver to capture that data and feed it back. Maybe a monitor connected with USB-C could do this.
It’s conceivable that a GPU manufacturer could capture everything you watch with a malicious driver though.

See I’m the opposite, I can memorise very well. But memorisation and recall is itself a skill, one that isn’t taught basically at all anymore, but which I managed to teach myself through interest in the subject.
But nobody is interested in a formula for the sake of a formula. They could be interested in it’s application or it’s history or weird quirks, but learning a formula itself is basically like learning how to say something in a foreign language but you don’t know what it means - you can remember it to pass a test, but won’t remember it 5 years later.
With maths there is tons of interesting stuff, a good teacher could easily make fifteenth century nautical tables interesting to a class of teenage boys even if it is pointless, but as Lockhart laments - their job is to teach the syllabus so those boys are ready for whatever bullshit they will be forced to learn in next year’s curriculum and all that does is sap more and more joy out of kids every year until everyone despises maths, which nobody should because maths is actually really fun!
Give this one a read Phil, it might reawaken something in you too.

Memory and recall is an interesting thing in itself. I find I have a very good memory for some things - I can often recall events or even conversations I’ve had with someone many years later in a lot of detail after others have forgotten. I don’t remember formulas and facts well though..
I’ll definitely have a read of this book!
I was going to zap the 1k back but I’ll save it in my zap wallet and distribute it around to others! 🤣
You didn’t mention how much was in the zap wallet though, maybe there was only 1k! 🤣 Merry Christmas again!
Exactly, and I think this is an issue with the way a lot of subjects are taught, not just maths. At least from my experience and way of learning, I find it very difficult to just remember formulas and facts. It’s often more useful to have a deeper understanding of how they were arrived at, why they are important, and how they are used rather than just memorising the actual formula or facts itself - these can be easily be looked up as needed.
Sounds interesting. I also had a similar experience with maths at school. I did pretty well with it up until the last couple of years of high school, and I had to do some at Uni as part of my CS degree where I hated it and didn’t do well at all. I agree that a lot of the problem comes down to the way it is taught particularly at higher levels and it is very uninspiring.
