she does describe parts of the construction as alien and bizarre, but there she’s just remarking on how badly written the prose is:
like, here's some of what Dana texted me last night:
It feels like something written by someone who's on psychedelics. So much unclear and doesn't make sense. Lots of name dropping of previous work without discussing why it can be used despite impossibility results
Basically the paper is so horribly written that it's impossible to read it without AI help

Or like, simpler example: Why is Mio surprised here?? They’ve both had sex with women before!
Shun: HEY...
HAVE YOU EVER...
SLEPT WITH A WOMAN?

Mio: Yeah.

Shun: Me too.

Mio: You can do that? (With a little drawing of a surprised face in the speech bubble)

also sometimes it straight up seems to resist comprehension to me Like, this seems like it’s supposed to explain why Mio never called Shun after the first attempt. But we already knew he wanted to become an independent adult at the group home. And it doesn’t actually explain why he didn’t call!
The relevant part is:

Mio says “The thing is… I decided I wouldn’t go home… Until I could be on my own.”Mio says: “I was going to tell you myself when I got back. Because, I thought you liked me, Shun.”

I kind of think that the headline to that study makes people think it’s measuring something it wasn’t really. It was entirely based on the answers to these 8 questions. I don’t find it that surprising that the people who identified as Dems agreed with each other on these more than Republicans did
Thinking about the USA today, please indicate the extent to which you agree with each of the following statements:
Item 1) Abortion should be illegal.
Item 2) The government should take steps to make incomes more equal.
Item 3) All unauthorized immigrants should be sent back to their home country.
Item 4) The federal budget for welfare programs should be increased.
Item 5) Lesbian, gay and trans couples should be allowed to legally marry.
Item 6) The government should regulate business to protect the environment.
Item 7) The federal government should make it more difficult to buy a gun.
Item 8) The federal government should make a concerted effort to improve social and economic conditions for African Americans.

An old ad for Uneeda Biscuits, but the Uneeda is replaced with Yoneda, and the trademark Nabisco InnerSeal logo on the side is replaced with よ, the Hiragana for "Yo" and a symbol sometimes used for the Yoneda embedding.

An old National Biscuit Company ad for Uneeda Biscuit simply consisting of a picture of a Uneeda Biscuit container. But, it's been edited instead to say Yoneda Biscuit.

A banner ad for T-shirts. All are green and have the text overlaid with photoshop, as if they are mockups. The largest one says simply “MY WIFE BEATS ME.” Three smaller ones say “I’M JUST HERE TO EMBARRASS MY WIFE,” something about being a trophy husband, and a medical symbol with the text “DO NOT PET.”

Insane ad for an “ADHD Test for adults” featuring a bunch of messed up illustrations of eyes.Ads from various sources cover the entire screen, save for a tiny fragment in the middle.

They’ve got these wooden Jews — they started making them in the 90s based on a local legend: “Jew in your entryway, coin in your pocket” Of course the original idea was that you’d keep the coin in your pocket as long as they stayed in the entryway but still, there’s smth nice in how benign it is

Lovely. No Notes.
The reason your book uses the expressions "partial derivative of f w.r.t. z" and "partial derivative of f w.r.t. complex conjugate of z" without proof is that they are not partial derivatives, only derivatives in a symbolic sense. They are formal expressions that can help in understanding and communicating the behavior of a complex function.

doing a complex analysis course and they just assume you remember all of this stuff but I have no clue how to justify that with z̅ = x−iy, f=u+iv,
The partial derivative of f with regards to the conjugate of z is one half times [open parenthesis] partial derivative of u wrt x minus partial derivative of v wrt y [close parenthesis] plus i times one half times [open parenthesis] partial derivative of v wrt x plus partial derivative of u wrt y [close parenthesis]

It’s kinda funny seeing even google succumb to the kind of nonsense ad copy you only see domain registrars use It’s like when you try to register a .ooo domain and you find the seller insisting the domain will bring the tech industry to India
“.new is the first and only domain name devoted entirely to action. With so many early registrants using memorable .new shortcuts, visitors will know that new domains get things done. It's the clear choice if you want to help your users gets things done faster and more easily.”Q: “Why are .new domains priced at such a high cost?”
A: “We're invested in making .new a namespace that's all about action. That means we need to monitor and protect the namespace to ensure that domain names comply with our registration policies and deliver the intended user experience. This is reflected in the higher price for .new domains.”
