My ad-blocker has now been disabled on chrome. Which browser do I jump to? Opera, firefox, secret option number 3 that I haven't heard of because I was chrome-pilled for so long?

My eldest started high school this year and has had a total of 12 school days so far. I have received 22 emails from the school (not about him specifically, just general info to all parents). I absolutely can not keep up with this rate of information.

A labmate made the mistake of mentioning that she had been given a fountain pen but had no ink for it so didn't use it. I told her how to clean it and gave her a bottle of ink. I believe this is called "penabling"

I spent a lot of yesterday watching a number on a screen slowly approach 1, and having meetings where I used the phrase "cautiously optimistic". Today I will see.

Was wearing my shirt with star wars ship blueprints on it to the airport yesterday. The person checking my ticket complemented the shirt and followed with "Live long and prosper" I'm not sure I've ever been so mad.

Very thankful that all 11 (!) speakers in the Image Analysis and AI session that I chaired at #APMC13 kept to time and made my job easy. Didn't even have to use the aggressive red card I was provided. Wouldn't mind having one for my office though...

I implemented a deepseek reasoning model in my LLM playground. Even when I tell it to think as little as possible it produces paragraphs of "thought" before responding, second guessing its ideas as it goes. Well done world. We've given the robots anxiety.

Getting some new 3d design projects. I love how something can exist only on my screen one day and on my desk then next. Also what's the point of doing it if I'm not going to add a signature

Does anyone else occasionally (frequently) accidentally press "x" and delete a large cell in a jupyter notebook and then just sigh, close the browser, and then do it all again tomorrow? No....me neither.... (Also why doesn't ctrl-Z work in this situation, not that I need it, but you know)

Continuing my excessive Australiana posting, this photo was taken just as we arrived at the beach, and 5 minutes before the beach was closed due to a shark sighting near the shore

I bought a case to store my fountain pens collection. It was only $5 difference to get a 12 slot case or a 36 slot case. Point is I think I need to buy more pens.

Finishing up the year and did some data mining on images from 2024 on our microscopy storage area. Turns out people take the most images on a Friday, but bigger ones on Thursdays.

Well played @lichess.org in the middle of the same "Year in review" thing every service is doing. I doubt any other service I'm using can say the same.
