Right. So. A Tarot sequence of three cards, A -> B -> C is exact if everything you take from A as part of B is all that you leave behind when you interpret B as part of C.
For example let's look at a relationship spread:
Self -> Other -> Dynamic
Start with the Self, then identify the self with aspects of the Other; those aspects are precisely the parts of the Other that you ignore when interpreting the Other in the Dynamic. With me so far?
Let's add another link to the sequence:
Self -> Other -> Dynamic -> void
"void" has no card. It has no interpretation, consumes all, and yields nothing. All aspects of the Dynamic are consumed by the void, but when we know this sequence to be exact this tells us much:
The aspects of the Self that we see in the Other are those parts we leave behind when we see the Other in the Dynamic. The aspects of the Other that we see in the Dynamic are those parts we leave behind in the void (which is everything). So for this sequence to be exact we know that the Dynamic is fully explored by those parts of the Other than we cannot identify with the Self.

I'm still salty about this half a decade later.
What was the most upsetting result in mathematics for you?
"based and purple pilled" with deleted vowels. the first adhd medication I tried was life changing, I could finally study and function (half-)properly, and the pills are purple, hence my version of "based and red pilled", which I probably don't have to explain
Guys please reply to this with what your url means or references Iām really curious
Thank you, /r/ProgrammerHumor, I love you endlessly.

today I need some extra motivation to study because I didn't sleep well these past few days and it has drastic effects on my productivity, energy, motivation and what have you
also I am struggling to make the choice as to what I should do today
yesterday I started solving some basic exercises from hatcher's textbook
Ī-complex structures are becoming more intuicitve with time. take my solutions with a grain of salt, I am just starting to learn about these things and won't vouch for them lmao
some more complicated objects (the last one is an example of a lense space)
I decided to study commutative algebra today
so far I'm enjoying it. not as much as algebraic topology (which will always be my number 1) but it has its beauty
right now I'm at hom and tensor functors, the structures are fairly complicated, but pretty, and they look like they need to be studied in stages, with repetition and breaks, to fully grasp what's going on
my sensory issues are terrible today and I'm exhausted and hyperactive at the same time uh
I'll try working through a lecture on commutative algebra and give an update on how it went later
update: I studied for a while, but it wasn't going great so I decided to take a nap instead. god knows I tried
A monoid? Oh, you mean a monad on a one point set in the bicategory of spans of sets?
I know one person who started phd without master's but that's in computer science and he already had a research startup running independently. he had a med degree already and his research is about using ML in medicine, so he was granted a "special permission" to start a phd. the guy is a very hard-working genius
now when it comes to math, one of my friends claimed that it is possible to start phd after bsc if someone graduates magna cum laude or something. I never heard of that before and it sounds insane, so I asked my advisor about it and he never heard of that either lol moreover he said that it's a stupid idea unless someone already has a few publications
afaik in the US the undergraduate degree takes 4 years and phd takes 5, it's like a mix of masters and the actual phd, so I guess it evens itself out
okay this might sound stupid to a lot of you but I thought you need a masters degree before you can do a PhD. so weird to me seeing 22 year olds doing a PhD after a bachelors degree. I don't know where I got this idea but I'm having a hard time rearranging my world view around this, even though this is so inconsequential thing to be wrong about xd
Thinking about how when my oldest brother took Japanese classes his professor was like your pronunciation is really good š but you need to watch movies that aren't about the Yakuza because you sound like a criminal
gonna list my general goals, not necessarily what theorems i want to learn but rather some global "fix your life" things. gonna post about it every week to keep myself accountable
(1) wake up at 9 instead of 12. go to sleep at 1 instead of 4. if my current circadian rythm is here to stay, it's gonna be a fucking nightmare in november. first goal is to start going to sleep between 2 and 3
(2) concentrate on lectures. my focus is really bad when it comes to listening to someone. i have some interesting lectures downloaded and want to use them as training. first goal is to be able to actively listen to one for 30 minutes, then I can have a break for a zone-out
(3) get used to not checking my phone every damn 20 minutes. first goal is to have two 1-hour intervals daily of not checking it
probably will add some more soon
