Husband home from carpal tunnel op -he's doing okay at the moment - still flying a bit.

Fahre im ICE mit über 200 km/h durch (nachguck) Hessen, bin auf halber Strecke zwischen Kassel und Frankfurt.
Boah ist das hier dünn besiedelt... 😮

Ich dachte Deutschland hätte eine höhere Bevölkerungsdichte als die Schweiz?

I wrote up how I set up #ty with #helix, with a focus on finding third-party packages (a.k.a. virtualenvs, which I keep on a central location!)

Using ty with the helix editor · Technical inconsistencies blog
The folks at Astral have released ty, which they define as: An extremely fast Python type checker and language server, written in Rust. You can read more in the blog post announcing it. Today, I set it up with helix. To make it work, we first have to install it. Using uv, it’s as easy as typing: uv tool install ty@latest Then, edit your ~/.config/helix/languages.toml and add the following: [language-server.ty] command = "ty" args = ["server"] [[language]] name = "python" scope = "source.p…

My favorite video game company is currently making news because they admitted to falling to AI hype and pushing it on employees even though they’ve (predictably) seen no actual benefits.
I am sad about it but, in good news, writing with a fountain pen continues to be an extreme delight.
I developed carpal tunnel nine years ago, and handwriting would always be a stolen joy in the brief moments before pain would start again. I have been feeling nearly 0 pain in the last two weeks despite filling 50 pages. I feel like I’ve been given a new lease on life in a small way.

TRAVIS: Right. [They go down some steps into a tunnel. Travis looks around.]
SERVALAN: Travis!
TRAVIS: Huh?
SERVALAN: It's this way. [They walk through wet tunnels, there are loud breathing sounds in the background.]

New project post: AnotterKiosk
AnotterKiosk is another full-page web-browser OS for Pi's and other PCs, displays a webpage in full screen 24/7.
It has support for multi-touch input, a watchdog/heartbeat feature, local webserver, fully read-only root FS (won't kill SD cards, ever!), manual EDID overrides, configurable caching, reverse SSH tunnel support...
Can be used for signs, conference info screens, dashboards, home automation, etc.

"I have no internet on my machine anymore". OK, on-site visit.
Me: "What's that connection here?"
"Oh yeah, that colleague added a Wireguard Tunnel on my PC so I can access his server."
M-hm. Let's check the config...

A Flexible Multi-Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning Framework for Dynamic Routing and Scheduling of Latency-Critical Services
Timely delivery of delay-sensitive information over dynamic, heterogeneous networks is increasingly essential for a range of interactive applications, such as industrial automation, self-driving vehicles, and augmented reality. However, most existing network control solutions target only average delay performance, falling short of providing strict End-to-End (E2E) peak latency guarantees. This paper addresses the challenge of reliably delivering packets within application-imposed deadlines by l…

Fractional quantum Hall states under density decoherence
Fractional quantum Hall states are promising platforms for topological quantum computation due to their capacity to encode quantum information in topologically degenerate ground states and in the fusion space of non-abelian anyons. We investigate how the information encoded in two paradigmatic states, the Laughlin and Moore-Read states, is affected by density decoherence -- coupling of local charge density to non-thermal noise. We identify a critical filling factor $ν_c$, above which the quant…
