I feel it's coming to an end. Distrohopping, that is. Just noted I actually might have one NUC too much. KDE, nwg-hyprland, niri and dwm are all running on Slackware. And it all works great. Slackware covers all bases and more, and is rock solid. What more do i need? The laptop has been booked for the FreeBSD KDE experiment.That's it.Done.

Although my first extra usb-wifi adapter has been returned (didn't work properly on FreeBSD) I'm waiting for the next one.
Will this enable FreeBSD wifi on my ThinkPad? Carefully chose one of the nano ones mentioned in the wiki.
Then the next choice: KDE or Hyprland?
I did see a video with a great rice for Hyprland yesterday on the 'Tubes, making it resemble my dwm setup closely. Very tempting!
But dog-fooding-wise I should of course run KDE and feedback …

The Flood Complex: Large-Scale Persistent Homology on Millions of Points
We consider the problem of computing persistent homology (PH) for large-scale Euclidean point cloud data, aimed at downstream machine learning tasks, where the exponential growth of the most widely-used Vietoris-Rips complex imposes serious computational limitations. Although more scalable alternatives such as the Alpha complex or sparse Rips approximations exist, they often still result in a prohibitively large number of simplices. This poses challenges in the complex construction and in the s…

Anwar Floyd-Pruitt has passed away. I met him at UWM a decade ago, and he was always such a kind and creative person. I last saw him at Saint Kate and had a great conversation with him about his art, while surrounded by the art he was creating at the time. I am gutted... Anwar and his art will be sorely missed.
