Thanks for the response! Honestly wasn’t expecting any. I understand what you’re saying as a pure student would, but could you explain what you mean by “a space is a just an n-dimensional graph”?
Would the vertices map to some coordinate in space? Or am I completely misunderstanding.
Are you a post-doc now? If so, congrats! If you dont mind me asking, what exactly was your research about (not a physics/mathy person so ELI5 would be appreciated)
I say openly that I’m bad at math because I cannot, even with intense effort, intuit concepts that are laid out as pure mathematical expressions. Why do graphs have eigenvectors? What does that even look like?!
I will pay even better money for a dragonborn’s tail to sit comfortably within the confines of my cloak
Congrats! Yea A1 is easier cause you get more elites which directly equates to more relics.
Time to climb the ascension levels now?
You got this! Remember that STS rewards picking the option that immediately helps you, instead of trying to over-engineer some dream deck.
Great! Time to forgo every other aspect of my life while I grind out A20s
I never expected a Hollow Knight reference here
I struggle to find recent publications on SciHub, y’know, to report them to the hardworking journals that tirelessly implemented paywalls.
Any ideas how I can find papers that are within the past 6 months?
Without him I’d have failed linear algebra

Yeap fully agreed here as well. I do think the medium itself is shackled by its own chains, but my goodness when you find a game that does it well – the feeling is astounding.
I guess it depends on the player as well. I adored how TLOU2 handled its story but most people might disagree.
Anyway, I’ve come to the realisation that I’ve mostly been reading non fiction lately! Maybe that’s why I’m so fiction starved.
If you’ve any books to recommend I’d love to hear them!
I’d like to think I’m an avid reader (and gamer) as well. I view both highly and both have their strengths.

Video games shine in terms of player interactivity. I genuinely felt visceral, strong emotions by simply having to press the square button 3 times in TLOU2. Bashing someone’s head in is the only way to proceed. The music gets more distorted, the screen itself becomes blurry – I felt as Ellie felt. Distraught, upset, angry, and everything else in between.
I felt the acceptance that I have been honing in my countless loops of Outer Wilds when I finally pulled the system’s “life support” out. Flying through space one last time while the music echoes this final journey really made me feel things.
I’d summarise the edge video games have as “This is what you (the player) have done. You have agency. Deal with the consequences of your own actions, or reap the benefits.”
A huge disclaimer, I know that the story is already established in the writers room. I’m not saying that games allow you to craft your own story. I’m saying that they allow you to craft your own experience.
Of course, great writers can accomplish the same. I love Atwood’s writing in particular, and she does conjure up wonderful emotions. But you always feel for someone or something. You don’t have any agency in what happens, so emotions tend to be dampened as well. That’s my personal opinion anyway, feel free to disregard it!
With all due respect, I’m all for FOSS but DAWs don’t really have a good alternative. Recommending Audacity over FL/Live/Logic like saying Paint is a good free alternative for Photoshop. Doesn’t really make sense.
Iirc the only DAW that might barely be enough is LMMS which runs on Linux.
Every single time Adobe is mentioned, everyone rushes to mention GIMP. I’m convinced 90% of them have never even opened GIMP before.
Holy shit that’s insanely cool actually. But yea academia does get kinda ridiculous sometimes, I’m glad you found your passion for music instead!
