Every time I do anything with emulating old Macs and I want to "just create a disk image" it's like pulling teeth; literally all the emulation software and utilities are endlessly janky and it feels like they're deliberately made to be obtuse and gate-keepery.

Activated random walk on the comb
The density conjecture for activated random walk on the interval was recently resolved using a new tool called layer percolation. As a step towards understanding how layer percolation extends to activated random walk on more complex graphs, we develop its analog for the comb graph and use it to prove bounds on the critical density. Additionally, we provide simulation evidence suggesting that the comb has different critical densities on its spine and teeth, both of which are smaller than the cri…

It's really hard for me to floss: some of my interdental gaps shred floss. A decade ago I discovered GUM sticks and they've been fantastic for my dental health. Can't recommend them enough. Hope their inventor got rich.

Dentists Know You Hate Flossing. Try This Instead.
You still have to clean between your teeth, but other tools might work even better.

Multi-Phase Automated Segmentation of Dental Structures in CBCT Using a Lightweight Auto3DSeg and SegResNet Implementation
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has become an invaluable imaging modality in dentistry, enabling 3D visualization of teeth and surrounding structures for diagnosis and treatment planning. Automated segmentation of dental structures in CBCT can efficiently assist in identifying pathology (e.g., pulpal or periapical lesions) and facilitate radiation therapy planning in head and neck cancer patients. We describe the DLaBella29 team's approach for the MICCAI 2025 ToothFairy3 Challenge, which i…

Polish people: "no, we can't shorten the work time, the economy will fall, there will be crying and gnashing of teeth!"
Also Polish people: "a new holiday? but of course, another day free of work is great news."
So, rather than 4-day work week we need to pursue 3-day weekend!

#BeaverWeek #Factoid
Beaver teeth are unique due to their iron-rich orange enamel, which makes them exceptionally strong and resistant to wear. These teeth continuously grow throughout the beaver's life, requiring constant chewing to maintain a manageable size and sharpness. The iron content in the enamel is what gives them their distinctive orange color and provides added strength.

I couldn’t sleep. My brain kept spinning: I brush my teeth at night. Then I don’t eat, I don’t drink, I just sleep. Nothing goes in my mouth. So why, when I wake up, do I brush my teeth again? I already did it! Nothing changed. It’s like someone decided mornings need a repeat, but my mouth is just as clean as before.
Sometimes I wonder, who decided this? Why do we all just do it, like it’s written in the sky or something? I like the feeling of brushing but not the taste of toothpaste, …

Nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains near Bakersfield is Sharktooth Hill.
First documented by William P. Blake in 1853, Sharktooth Hill is one of the most significant Miocene fossil sites in the world.
Sharktooth Hill is a middle Miocene marine exposure of the Round Mountain Silt unit of the Temblor Formation.
Using magnetic stratigraphy data, the age of this unit is estimated to be around 15.2 and 16 million years old.
At this time sea levels w…

Mesh based segmentation for automated margin line generation on incisors receiving crown treatment
Dental crowns are essential dental treatments for restoring damaged or missing teeth of patients. Recent design approaches of dental crowns are carried out using commercial dental design software. Once a scan of a preparation is uploaded to the software, a dental technician needs to manually define a precise margin line on the preparation surface, which constitutes a non-repeatable and inconsistent procedure. This work proposes a new framework to determine margin lines automatically and accurat…
