Whatchu Readin?

Decided I would create this since I find no mention of it ever. Correct me if I'm wrong.


In my case, I discovered Dugin wrote on the Mad Baron, so I'm just reading this out of curiousity.

I have 7 hard copy books around me right now and several pdf papers open in other screens.

"Cardiovascular Effects of the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine in Adolescents"

by Suyanee Mansanguan

 

turns out 29% of the cohort got some kind of heart problems "Cardiovascular effects"

301 participants, so a small group. kinda like here at SC.

What do you think of those odds?

I'm reading I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jeanette McCurdy. Next I plan to read another Colleen Hoover romance.

Sc is pretty boring.

I'm curious about many things.  It seems interesting and I wonder if it will help me understand other things, as well.

Watching this guy's videos has also drawn my attention to it:

Milewski is great.

Category theory conceptually isn't that hard. What makes it hard is when you lack examples. Its just a theory of structure much like Abstract Algebra, so when you lack examples of structures that category theory delineates the concepts loose all tangibility.

Given programs and mathematics can be interpreted from a structuralist perspective, its incredibly useful in deepening your understanding of such things.

Curry-Howard-Lambek correspondence is actually a key feature of my graduate thesis.
