at no point does the poem explain what a “jabberwock” actually is
but does that matter ?
nobody knows what a “vector space” is, either !
but life goes on, and we do our math, and he defeats the jabberwocky, and all is well 👍

the poem in fact tells us a lot about the jabberwock !
it has jaws that bite (sharp teeth?) and claws that catch and eyes of flame; lives beyond the woods; scary enough that the protag is praised for killing it; tough enough that you need a special sword; big enough to only carry the head back

as a mathematician, i read “jabberwocky” as an exercise in mathematical thinking
a lot of math has no basis in reality – you understand it not through analogy or metaphor, but by taking it at face value and playing by its rules

wonderful precure (magical girl anime) had a het romance and fans LOVED it
because the boy wasn’t a one-note love interest, but a fleshed out character with his own interests and goals !

that reminds me, i watched an adam neely review of “whiplash” once, and his point was, it’s a fine tragedy, but it feels more like a sports film than a music one

i like how scheme reconciles multi-shot continuations and linear resources by... just recreating the resource each time

the traditional definition of infinite sum is more complicated !
as we’re now summing *prefixes* instead of arbitrary subsets

it’s funny (and an endorsement of the library) that unconditional convergence in mathlib has a very short definition
(= the sum of subsets of terms as the subsets approach the entire set)

eh, this is like saying that the latin alphabet is great for latin, like yeah that’s what it’s meant for lol

it’s not nonsense, but recognizing that requires learning the history of tuning systems and how harmony was conceptualized before equal temperament
e.g. in quarter-comma meantone, an augmented sixth was *physically* different to a minor seventh – it wasn’t just semantics

i love the irony in how “complex” analysis is in fact the nice elegant one
