This morning, I heard the first report of someone passing their US ham radio exam by using Open Ham Prep

Screenshot showing the first 6 of 16 lessons covering the US ham radio Technician class exam material, starting with "Welcome to Amateur Radio". Because I have passed all the quizzes associated with topic 2, "Your Identity on the Air", it is marked as completed. Two other topics are marked as partially complete because I have passed some but not all of the associated quizzes.
Screenshot showing the first six of 57 topics, starting with "The Transceiver - Your Voice to the World". Because I've taken the quiz for the first topic, it is marked as "Completed"
Screenshot showing the result of successfully answering all the questions in a quiz, and that you can always review questions for a topic by re-taking the quiz.
Screenshot of dashboard, showing that answering only a few questions does not demonstrate that I'm ready to take the test, even though I answered all of those few 100% correctly.

Recently I spoke with a woman in a shop about hiking and she said that she's not experienced in the mountains and thus doesn't dare to go alone.
I wondered if such people would feel better if they'd go for example with me (or just any other person who is a bit into the topic). No need to talk, no social obligations, just walking together a route, no sports event, nothing extreme. 🤔 Not as a guided tour, just walking.
And if I would do that.

Good Morning #Canada
Before #WWII, Canada could still be considered a tiny nation in terms of our influence on world affairs. But after the conflict broke out, we contributed well beyond expectations and our navy was an example. The Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) started the war with only 13 vessels, but when WWII ended, we had the 4th largest navy in the world. By 1945 the RCN had 450 ships in all, plus many smaller auxiliary units. This 1945 figure breaks down as follows: 2 cruisers, 17 destroyers, 68 frigates, 112 corvettes, 67 minesweepers, 12 escort ships, 75 Fairmile motor launches. During WWII, Canadian shipyards built a total of 4,047 naval vessels and 410 merchant ships for a grand total of 4,457 ships. The naval vessels included over 300 anti-submarine warships, as well as thousands of landing craft, escort ships, minesweepers, and tugs.

State and Parameter Estimation for a Neural Model of Local Field Potentials
Daniele Avitabile, Gabriel J. Lord, Khadija Meddouni
arxiv.org/abs/2512.07842 arxiv.org/pdf/2512.07842 arxiv.org/html/2512.07842
arXiv:2512.07842v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The study of cortical dynamics during different states such as decision making, sleep and movement, is an important topic in Neuroscience. Modelling efforts aim to relate the neural rhythms present in cortical recordings to the underlying dynamics responsible for their emergence. We present an effort to characterize the neural activity from the cortex of a mouse during natural sleep, captured through local field potential measurements. Our approach relies on using a discretized Wilson--Cowan Amari neural field model for neural activity, along with a data assimilation method that allows the Bayesian joint estimation of the state and parameters. We demonstrate the feasibility of our approach on synthetic measurements before applying it to a dataset available in literature. Our findings suggest the potential of our approach to characterize the stimulus received by the cortex from other brain regions, while simultaneously inferring a state that aligns with the observed signal.

I typically shun this kind of challenges for millions of reasons, but since I take photos almost everyday, I decided to give it a shot. But to make it more interesting for myself, I decided not to use the most frequent categories of photos, i.e. reportage or stock.

The trail itself varies quite a bit in all terms - which I totally like. Well - enjoy!

A scenic hiking trail winds its way through a rugged, mountainous landscape, inviting adventurers to explore its natural beauty. The trail, composed of gravel and dirt, cuts a clear path through the terrain, bordered by dry grass and patches of green shrubs. The ground is uneven, with scattered rocks and roots adding texture and a sense of adventure to the journey.

On either side of the trail, the landscape is dotted with a mix of evergreen trees and leafless shrubs, their branches reaching ou…

Day 28: Samira Ahmed
As foreshadowed, we're back to YA land, which represents a lot of what I've been enjoying from the library lately.
I've read "Hollow Fires", "This Book Won't Burn", and "Love, Hate, and other Filters" by Ahmed, along with "Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Know" which is quite different. All four are teen ~romances with interesting things to say about racism & growing up as a South Asian Muslim, but whereas the first three are set in small-town Indiana, the third is set in France and includes a historical fiction angle involving Dumas and a hypothetical Muslim woman who was (in this telling) the inspiration for several Lord Byron poems.
Ahmed's novels all include a strong and overt theme of social justice, and it's refreshing to see an author not try to wade around the topic or ignore it. Her romances are complex, with imperfect protagonists and endings that aren't always "happily ever after" although they're satisfying and believable.
My library has a plethora of similar authors I've been enjoying, including Adiba Jaigirdar (who appeared earlier in this list), Sabaa Tahir ("All my Rage" is fantastic but I'm less of a fan of her fantasy stuff), Sabina Khan ("The Love and Lies of Rukhsana Ali"), and Randa Abdel-Fattah ("Does My Head Look Big In This?"; from an earlier era). Ahmed gets the spot here because I really like her politics and the way she works them into her writing. Her characters are unapologetic advocates against things like book bans, and Ahmed doesn't second-guess them or try to make things more palatable for those who want to ban books (or whatever). Her historical fiction in "Mad..." is also really cool in terms of "huh that could actually totally be true" and grappling with literary sexism from ages past.

This is a good video about Masculinity. I generally agree with it. Galloway get a lot wrong on gender. Though I don't really think he is a grifter. I think he cares about the topic and wants a good out come not too far off what the person in this video wants.
As I think more about big tent politics I wonder if this video could do more calling in then calling out. There are real enemies out there and to me, at this time, Galloway is a mistaken ally rather then an enemy

Trump Orders States Not to Protect Children From Predatory AI: "States have been the only effective line of defense against AI harms."
On the topic of states rights, Donald Trump doesn’t exactly follow the party line. During his first term, he couched himself in populist, small-government rhetoric — even as he attacked individual states that dared to defend migrants and legalize marijuana.

RE: mastodon.social/@PrototypeFund
A VERY important topic right now… resilience is so critical!

Proposition 50,
one of the most expensive ballot measures in state history,
was initially a coin toss when the state Legislature placed it on the Nov. 4 ballot in August.
But supporters, led by Gov. Gavin Newsom, successfully used the proposal as a visceral way for Trump opponents to push back against the president during an off-year election about the esoteric topic of congressional redistricting.

I just decided that I won't blog about the last two days of our #Schwarzwald vacation. I don't have shareable photos or stories from those days. It just feels like writing for the sake of completeness,not for the photos.

The topic has also highlighted the rise of “fictosexuality” and fan culture in Japan, where many young people form strong emotional connections with fictional characters.

The rise of candidates centering gun violence is a result of the growing prevention movement across the US, which has become something of 👉a pipeline for new candidates running for office.

Nice, I wanted to write about that topic. And there.. Someone wrote about it already.
That's the reason why I never recorded myself walnut walking into the scene.
Even though it looks really cool,it really disturbs my hiking experience and totally turns into filming.

Yesterday I was surprised that my blog post about IP tracking vs "conspiracy" my-phone-is-spying gets low but constant visits. - I reviewed it, corrected a couple of spelling mistakes and added some details.
After all, I'm just happy that I wrote this blog post. I often simply use the blog to "offload" a thought process out of my brain. No matter if someone reads it.
