sp_infectious: Art exhibit dynamic contacts (2011)
This dataset contains the daily dynamic contact networks collected during the Infectious SocioPatterns event that took place at the Science Gallery in Dublin, Ireland, during the artscience exhibition INFECTIOUS: STAY AWAY. Each file in the downloadable package contains a tab-separated list representing the active contacts during 20-second intervals of one day of data collection. Each line has the form “t i j“, where i and j are the a…
My 10mm thick ultraclear glass plate (for contact prints) arrived and the weight and increase in sharpness is like day & night.. wow! 🤩
Since this new glass also seems to transmit more UV light (as I had hoped), I'll have to do more test strips for adjusted exposure times. The print below actually is a test strip too (using 4 sections of different exposure times), but only the right quarter (80 seconds) seems to noticeable different/lighter. So it seems UV transmission has incr…
I'm not an expert on the #Epstein files.
However, it does seem ridiculous to me that any person mentioned in the #EpsteinFiles or having had contact with Epstein is now considered a bad person. 🤷
To me, it would require a certain context or deeper involvement in those
I just got a marketing email with this line:
> Hi Philip, It's been 1891 days since you left - we miss you!
And all I can say is, I envy the confidence of someone who thinks this email would be welcome.
Or they vibe coded the script and never considered setting an upper bound on who to contact.
Maybe it’s that one.

24.3 kWh production, another new record. The days are getting longer and the sun is getting higher, but the monsoon season keeps breaking up streaks of high production with heavy rainstorms.
We might get up to an inch of snow ovenight into tomorrow which will probably hurt my numbers until it melts, if any of it sticks (the panels and roof are probably warmer than the ground, so it may just melt on contact)

During internal tests, a new AI model developed by Anthropic managed to escape its virtual security environment, subsequently contact researchers independently and document its success. The incident highlights the growing challenges of AI security – and just how real they have become.
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's and Trump's actions against Anthropic have serious legal issues, and its designation exceeds what the statute authorizes (Lawfare)

At the neighborhood party you may be asked to wear a name tag with your first name. The initial contact and conversation is more relaxed as no one wants to talk about their work. Your neighbors want to know how you feel about that ungodly reno going on down the street, share stories about your kids, and swap anecdotes about pets. Definitely cats... lots of cat sharing. It's a community where no one is selling, no one is recording data, and there's no unfathomable app pushing conversations into your group. The goal is to go home feeling closer to your community and more empathy for its members.
services.radicale.git.enable=true now makes nicer commit messages, for events and contacts it will list the name and even describe renames. Proof of concept, written in bash/awk. It'll be hard to write a diff-parser that covers all kinds of changes, I guess having a local LLM could do it, but it'd slow down radicale significantly.

For many years, any advertised contact email address on a company web page will receive *many* unsolicited employment enquires from people in India (ignoring the advertised recruitment process) which I suspect are automated, and I imagine AI tools will only increase this.

There is one disturbing issue not mentioned in the article: That a man in a care home can be dead for 3 years, and no one in the "family" was aware. That means no one appears to have tried to contact him in 3 years - no family members, no friends.

A Boothby-Wang construction in generalized contact geometry
Debjit Pal
https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.22385 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.22385 https://arxiv.org/html/2602.22385
arXiv:2602.22385v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We establish a generalized analogue of the Boothby-Wang theorem in generalized contact geometry, along with related results. We present a general method for constructing examples of generalized contact structures that are not of Poon-Wade type, and even examples that fail to be generalized contact structures. Using Courant reduction methods, we construct a generalized complex structure on a smooth leaf space and equip the generalized contact manifold with a principal bundle structure whose connection is defined by the generalized contact data. Under mild assumptions, we show that the curvature induces a symplectic foliation on the leaf space. Several examples are provided.

At the corporate event everyone is wearing a name tag with your title and the company you work for. Guests are circling each other trying to read the name tag and see if you're interesting enough to talk to. Almost no one is there to simply socialize. They are trying to sell you something, sway your opinion, or add your details to their records for future use. In the background the conference has a software app that allows attendees to track and target each other. The goal is to add as many people as possible to your network, or insert yourself into their contact list. It's rare to make a new friend.
Over the holidays last last year I was building an Airfix model (good way to ignore the outside world) and discovered two pieces had fallen off the sprues and were not in the box. I considered constructing them myself but I didn't have a good reference image to go by. 99% certain it wasn't my fault, I looked up how to contact Airfix, followed the instructions, and never heard back.
Until Friday, when two tiny pieces of plastic arrived in an adorable little pouch and the modelmaking can continue.
I love good customer service. I just love it.

Dear Prime Minister,
I am shocked and deeply disturbed by your inaction and inability to call out the President of the United States who is using the rhetoric of a madman.
Canada should call in the USA Ambassador, close our airspace to USA forces on Iran-related flights, and denounce in public this clearly criminal and suicidal rhetoric.
Sincerely

It took five days for him to die.
He was blind and didn’t speak English.

Five days of wandering around lost, sick and disoriented.
