Blocked all the server domains. There are a bunch of lists out there for various TV brands.

Blocked all this crap at the network level. Don't get any ads now.

Be funny if someone started a gofundme.

👊 TARIFF 🔥

The GREATEST, most TREMENDOUS Python package that makes importing great again!

TARIFF is a fantastic tool that lets you impose import tariffs on Python packages. We're going to bring manufacturing BACK to your codebase by making foreign imports more EXPENSIVE!

The Weekender is also anyone working professionally. You can't stick any of your real work on public github.

Was working on a simulator and needed random interaction data. Statistical randomness didn't capture likely scenarios (bell curves and all that). Switched to LLM synthetic data generation. Seemed better, but wait... seemed off 🤔. Checked it for clustering and entropy vs human data. JFC. Waaaaaay off.

Lesson: synthetic data for training is a Bad Idea. There are no shortcuts. Humans are lovely and messy.

Big fan of Geerling, precisely because he goes down these obscure rabbit holes. Found out about Meshtastic through him, and now BPS.

There are lots of applications to having a super-accurate time source, without having to have antennas and view of multiple satellites.

Synchronizing time is tricky. WWVB is too coarse resolution. NNTP requires access to the internet and all the inherent lags and delays. GPS was the only accurate source, but the super high resolution time signal is classified, and you are at the mercy of view of the sky. Also, signal jamming, thanks to what's going on in Europe and Ukraine.

BPS could be a niche experiment, or a Big Deal.

Thank you for your opinion.

Anyway.

USB hubs.

Plain old splitters will almost certainly damage the port, and if this is with a machine where USB-C is part of the motherboard, it could cause even more damage and be really expensive to repair.

The power-only ones are not too pricey. But if you also need high speed data transfer (like drives) those cost a bit more. Be careful that even the ones that claim data exchange may not support drive speeds. It took me three tries to finally find one that worked.

Fragments of a rare Merlin manuscript from c. 1300 have been discovered and digitised in a ground-breaking three-year project at Cambridge University Library

A fragile 13th century manuscript fragment, hidden in plain sight as the binding of a 16th-century archival register, has been discovered in Cambridge and revealed to contain rare medieval stories of Merlin and King Arthur.

...

What followed the discovery has been a ground-breaking collaborative project, showcasing the work of the University Library’s Cultural Heritage Imaging Laboratory (CHIL) and combining historical scholarship with cutting-edge digital techniques, to unlock the manuscript's long-held secrets - without damaging the unique document.

...

To achieve this, the team undertook:

Multispectral Imaging (MSI)

This technique used in CHIL involved capturing the fragment in various wavelengths of light, from ultraviolet to infrared.

...

Computed Tomography (CT) scanning

Conducted with equipment and expertise from the University’s Zoology department, the team used a powerful X-ray scanner—typically used for scanning fossils or skeletons—to virtually penetrate the layers of parchment and uncover hidden structures in the binding.

...

3D modelling

Industrial scanning techniques created highly detailed virtual models of the fragment, allowing researchers to study its creases, stitching, and folds in remarkable detail.

...

The digital results of the project are now available for everyone to explore online via the
Cambridge Digital Library.
