explain why this 12 year old is better than you at programmi

He isn't though

And
>very talented
>only hobby
>good environment
Should be a couple of ood reasons

>>56260050
Must be all that time he didn't waste on a toilet.

TOO EASY

>>56260050
I don't really think that's an achievement since I have no interest at all in programming

He isn't, just a pajeet being the code monkey he is.

>>56260050
Because I work in aviation and have no need to code?

Are you so assblasted that a 12 year old is smarter than you that you need to create a thread where other equally buttblasted fucklords can come and make you feel better about your inadequacies?

Computer says yes.

>>56260123
so you conceded to a 12 year old

> He built an app aimed at helping children learn multiplication, at an age he too would be familiarizing himself with arithmetic.

Fuck that. Kids his age do algebra and Cartesian planes.

>>56260508
A 12 year old is better than you at speaking the pajeet language. Have you considered killing yourself?

>>56260050
Good for him.

>>56260050
Read the article, his skills are programming a RaspPi to talk to Watson and take photos, as well as 'having expertise in several programming languages.' This is sensationalism.

Don't worry, anons, you are still valid.

>ITT retards hating on a child that is smarter than them

top kek

>>56260655
An extremely tiny minority of kids yes. But you're not fucking learning multiplication at 12 years old. That's third grade shit.

>>56260587
fuck off pajeet

>>56260655
I always wondered how do you achieve that at young age?

I don't mean understanding high-end physics but convincing the teachers to advance you through classes quickier than anyone else, do you have just to show to be much more proficient or you have to request tests?

>>56260940
>But you're not fucking learning multiplication at 12 years old. That's third grade shit.

> After three rejections, Apple's App Store accepted "tTables" in February 2013. He was nine at the time.

He built the multiplication app at age 9.

I guess you can add reading comprehension to the list of things where he's better than you.

Nothing he's done seems impressive, even for someone his age. He's not a genius; the only difference between him and any other kid is someone bothered to teach him.

>>56260952
parents are forcing it

>>56260655
>Writing on windows

Because writing on paper or on a blackboard is too pleb.

>>56260655
No, he's 17 and doing masters

>>56260952
He was home-schooled.

His mother brought him to a few physics lectures at the local university because he asked her and the professors took notice I guess. Since she showed the capacity and ability to understand everything they enrolled him I guess.

I watched some videos on him, there was this one professor that took particular interest in him so they probably just got him to pass some HS equivalent test and enrolled him in the uni.

Honestly if you home-schooled a kid only in subjects relevant to his future major (math, chemistry and physics in the case of studying physics) it probably wouldn't take that long to get him to an average undergrad level.

It's pretty cool this kid can program at such a young age, but its not that impressive. There's kids his age getting their masters/phd.

>>56261009
>>56261041

Interesting to know, but if this was more common place wouldn't this show how bad and time wasting is the teaching method of both public and private schools?

>>56261068
There's really no reason to teach kids anything other than math and English(or whatever your native tongue is). If kids want to branch out to other subjects let them do it later on. Communicating and problem solving are the most important skills we should possess imo.

>>56261021
He's 18 and a PhD student.

http://www.perimeterinstitute.ca/people/Jacob-Barnett

He'll probably have his PhD completed by the time he's 19-20 which is when the average person is starting their undergrad studies.

The youngest person ever to complete a non meme phd program was a Korean, Kim Ung-Yong (15) who worked for NASA for 10 years as a literal human calculator.

He described the experience as “I led my life like a machine – I woke up, solved the daily assigned equation, ate, slept, and so forth. I really didn’t know what I was doing, and I was lonely and had no friends.”.

>>56260050
He's indian, it's a lie.

Every asian/indian/other foreign race kid you see in the media for being a "whiz kid" is always pure bullshit. His dad did whatever they're saying he did.

>>56261102
Yup, and he probably commit suicide freshman year when he realizes everyone resents him and nobody wants to be his friend.

>>56261068
The average parent is totally unfit to educate their child properly. It's rare that someone can dedicate 4-5 hours of their day to be their child's tutor, an it's more rare that someone with no background in it can do it extremely well.

>Having a high IQ means you will succeed in life!

>>56261129
I imagine he'll have no troubles making at least some professional friends and acquaintances with his research colleagues.

But yeah he kind of skipped childhood and high school shennanigans, considering he's autistic it's probably for the better.

>>56261068
public and private schools exist for the state to train kids to behave like good little slaves in their society.

the average kid could enter the workforce as an apprentice at age 14. there's too much competition for jobs so the government makes it illegal to hire kids and forces them to waste another ten years in some bullshit institution to "prepare" them for adult life, which is another four years of school but with more alcohol and less parental supervision.

>>56260050
Not impressed, I created a small program to manage my yugioh card collection because i thought excel was a fucking hassle. i was 10 at the time and studied through code snippets and a reference book to find out what each command do.

lost interest in programming not long after though.

>>56261102
Oh, what I read wasn't updated.
Good for him, I'm sure his life will be great

>>56261129
If he's lucky to be autistic enough, he simply won't have the need for meaningless social interaction.

>>56261068
Teaching is at its lowest and keep going down every year anon. You have to know that most people are stupid, that's just how it is. So the education is made easier because the purpose is not to make people intelligent, but to discipline them into a life of working. You have to pass this test, you have to that, etc, if you want to succeed in life. Succeeding in life equals to working any job to make money for 'yourself' and the better job the better the money, that's the pitch of life in today's society.

The reality is, with internet you have all the knowledge at your disposition. It wasn't like that before and books aren't that powerful and wasn't that accessible.
So you are better off learning by yourself that's for sure. Even for the higher classes, with the best teachers, you're going to be doing most of the work by yourself. Teachers will guide you through your PhD, but every doing will be yours in the end. There's no magic course.

>>56261146
No one is saying that.

>>56260978
I skim over clickbait articles. Please deal with your own insecurities and stop projecting them on me.

Usually people with high IQs have good deduction, induction, and logical/critical thinking skills. This usually leads people down the existential rabbit hole that ultimately ends in a conclusion that we are utterly insignificant when compared to the vastness of the cosmos and will never truly impact the universe at large in and way. When people realize this they either break or survive. Some grasp for religion to try to reverse this understanding but once it is known it cannot be forgotten. The mysticism cannot hold the weight the discovery bears and thus it cracks and leaves them floating in a subconscious void, hole-in-the-heart condition. If they can't handle the revelation, they submit to death... and the cycle continues, another corpse added to the notch board of our own construction.

Anyone can come to that conclusion. Don't underestimate the average's person capacity for reason.

To overcome that is a form of maturity. To let it consume you is a form of weakness typically showcased by the self-absorbed.

Fabricate yourself a reason to live. We all do.

That's the conclusion I came to as well. If you can't fabricate the a reason, then you submit. However what happens when no fabrications work, when you can't trick yourself any longer and the more you try the more it pushes you into the hole since you know it's all a lie?

Be more shallow. When you jizz, it feels good, doesn't it? Even if it's into a bunch of Kleenexes. I guarantee you can always derive pleasure from life in some way. Unless you're depressed, but that's an affliction and something you should seek help with.

tl;dr the fact that my body and mind respond to stimuli keeps me going. I care more about experiences than truths entirely detached from reality.

it's pretty obvious he killed himself because he was a social outcast. maybe if this was the 70s college kids would include him in activities, but no one wants anything to do with underage kids only to have their parents accuse you of something and ruin your life.

All Indians are good at programming. It's in their DNA.

The feeling of euphoria experienced with orgasm is great. For the entire 30 seconds during and afterward. Living in the moment is a great way to live, sure, but it is a simple minded approach. Whether or not you are or aren't simple minded, it is still simple minded regardless. Giving no thought to things beyond your bubble of contentment is to be choked in a stage curtain never glimpsing the play at hand. Go ahead and live your hedonistic life, give no thoughts to that which is beyond you, Eventually you will submit like everyone does. Your contentment and fabrications will wither away just like all the things you consume, and with it your life.

Join us, it's not better here, but it's truth.

>>56260050

Why would a 12 year old be dedicating most of his spare time to Programming?

There's no perceivable use to it for a child.

They should be doing child appropriate things. Like, playing. developing basic social skills in order to navigate the adult world.

Not sitting behind a fucking monitor burning their optic nerves out.

God shit like this makes me angry as fuck.

As long as my kid didn't spend half his time high off his ass. I'd say he was a fucking success.

Just think about it like you are his dad. You want to make the kid feel proud.

If he makes a program with your help that multiplies 2 numbers, you would call it an app because you want him to learn "Programming = make app = cool". That's something a kid can understand. And if IBM will let him into their summer camp, why wouldn't you encourage that.

I can't be mad at the kid. I can't be mad at his father.

I guess it's the journalists fault for not realizing what the father was trying to do with the kid. In reality, they are just as stupid as the kid who can only understand "coder makes app"

Because, I assume like at least 75% of /g/, once every few months I get the urge to learn a language, but give up after two weeks and fifty pages of a book.

You guys are doing it wrong. Used to do the same shit.

Would pick up a book or video course and start from the bottom. I only tried to learn 'legit' languages too, because it was 'the proper way' to do it. Many summers were wasted learning how to write hello world in c, c++ and java. You know how the story goes.

Anyway, what really worked was that I wanted to make text-based sex game (corruption of champions clone without the fur/gay shit) The first 3 courses on ruby from codecaedmy were enough to get started. After a week I had a solid grip on OOP and git. Then I gave up on the game because forking other people's shit on github was a lot more interesting. Not a decent programmer by any measure. But I learned more by following my dick and my hatred than I ever did by trying to be disciplined and trying to do it the 'right' way.

Also don't bother with languages with shit syntax like c++ or js. Stick with python or ruby if you have the attention span of a 5-year old.

Because he has 7 years of experience over me and has a father that personally tutors him.

Also there's no such thing as "self-taught", I watch videos on youtube, read fucktonnes of ebooks and all this would still classify me as "self-taught" in most peoples eyes because it's a meme title.

If anyone's reading this:
You should definitely learn to code/program.
