@syn at least definitely a dream
-
@shmibs the dream
-
@syn oh, but you're doing? what sort?
-
@shmibs yeah i meant that insincerely. i have more fundamental goals and desires. but it'd be nice.if only i had any confidence in the future of my own maths career
-
@syn ah but that's all really fun stuff thoughand mmm, definitely understand life explodes in the way but ????
-
@shmibs eh hardlywhen im not a wreck which is increasingly rare i do pl-adjacent things & some type theory i've learned to apply to that& i want to continue studying a lot of maths in service of those formalization efforts. mostly algebraic things & some topology (algebraic). only thing outside of that i guess would be i'd like to understand statmech a bit so i can better understand probabilistic PL stuff and how the inference algorithms for that work
-
@syn well, if it's something really care about then ought to try is thought herethough of course not everybody needs to do, but though had a really hard time uni here, somehow managed graduate and really wish could properly go back for more XX
-
@shmibs ive never been good at structured learning in an academic environment ive just got by bc it always was trivial to me & people were ultimately forgiving of the ways the environment was unsuitable, allowed me to figure things out on my own so long as i got therei was just really bored in uni last year & im transferring but im such a disordered mess cognitively these days that i cant imagine it being anything other than miserablewhich is sad bc i used to be so excited and curious
-
@syn ah sorry, don't want to be intrusive about it XX
-
@shmibs ill keep trying bc i dont want to hurt the ppl who care abt me :(
-
@shmibs yea i just... idk. im a mess and ive never had to deal w/ this much instability and i rlly dont want to be alive so being excited about future & learning is hard even though thats all i ever thought i wanted when i was younger.

@syn just thinking of personal thoughts, of despite all the trying to die and stuff am glad to have had that experience in the end. but that's not everyone's
