Even worse, now I'm beginning to call my variables "zeta" etc., but I guess that's why the authors gave them such non-descriptive names in the first place, naming is hard and there just weren't better ones.
@sebx2a every time I have to read academic papers (usually cs/math papers because of degree), I end up revising different sections of the Greek alphabet

@NicolasDorier @pete @sebx2a there's something unholy about emojis in an academic paper man

@pete @rohan Don't give them any ideas ๐
I know a physicist who uses Cyrillic as his third character set once the first two are exhausted ๐คฃ
