Empiezo mi sesión de streaming de hoy con la intención (no sé si firme) de pasar la mañana probando jueguines guapos. Empiezo con Monowave, y luego caerš algo de Onimusha y algunos mšs. ¡Pasaos! www.twitch.tv/rocquitojuegos

you'd think diamonds would get bigger over the next million years, not smaller. also you'd think that they would form where there was high pressure not right at the surface, so thats what you get for thinking.

Un artículo muy breve con contenido que casi todas las aquí presentes lo vamos a mirar con cara de "si, lo sabemos, cuéntanos algo nuevo" pero que no deja de ser interesante que salgan publicaciones en las que se cuestiona la forma en la que se han convertido las ciudades en lugares inhóspitos e invivibles y, sobretodo, que no estšn preparados para los eventos cada vez mšs exagerados frute del calentamiento global.

After waiting for months.. I just got a wire transfer from US Customs and Border Protection.
Tariff refunds are in. It’s a substantial amount, but also.. thats also what killed our business.
So fuck you Trump and those who elected him.
But I’m glad to have this refund (it’s not like they had a right to collect it in the first place)

Abstract: Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) operators frequently adjust the field-of-view (FOV) during procedures, which interrupts workflow and increases procedure time. Conventional microscopes require manual objective lens switching and illumination adjustments to achieve different FOV sizes. We propose an AI-based automatic FOV adjustment method integrated with a view-expansive microscope. This microscope enables the simultaneous acquisition of a large FOV and high-resolution images using a single objective lens through multiview imaging with galvanometer mirrors and high-speed vision, thereby eliminating the need for physical lens exchanges. Our method utilizes a long short-term memory (LSTM) model to predict the appropriate FOV size based on real-time analysis of the pipette's position and velocity, combined with the operator's gaze position. The AI model is trained using ICSI procedure data from an expert with over five years of micromanipulation experience. Experimental evaluation with novice operators reveals that the proposed automatic FOV adjustment system significantly improves the ICSI procedure speed, reducing the average task completion time from 60.5 to 48.0 s (p < 0.001). The experiments also demonstrate that this improvement enables novice operators to achieve ICSI working speeds equivalent to those of expert operators.

Spent the weekend with a few friends at Beautiful Days festival out in Exeter, which is the one that The Levellers run and fill with mostly 90s bands.
So lots of old men on stage and in the audience. Including me. It's me.
Weather was mostly good as you'd like. Not quite as too-hot as it's been lately and only The Undertones made the weather gods angry. After the end of their wet set the double rainbow promising no more rain proved a true promise.
Mostly either old things, or things I'd never heard of, because I haven't really paid attention to music since the 1900s.
Young new folks seemed to be mostly half Welsh, and included Gwenno who was beautiful in her cat-mask and sang a song in old Cornish about cheese, Gina Larner who was playing country rock with her beautiful sparkly country boots, Trampoline who had one guitarist replaced by a cardboard cut-out for some reason I missed and are from Swansea, and Ben Brown whose rider included a lacy fancy dress and seizable stick - his merch song as he danced around and stripped off the ten tee-shirts he sells and was wearing all at once for the first half apparently was memorable.
Old folks on stage included Billy Brag, who is so right-on and woke you wonder why all the other musicians are so apolitical. Madness, who have banger after banger but lack some energy now they're so old. The Undertones, who angered god by still singing about Teenage Kicks in their sixties, Super Furries who, inexplicably drew a much smaller crowd as people watched the Proclaimers instead I guess. The Divine Comedy, who acts very sophisticated mixing cocktails on stage. Also The Wonder Stuff who still mock their own audience but got us all nostalgic and emotional, they're loved and welcome in my home too.
And of course the Levellers who fill the field because they don't put anyone else up at the same time as them and so WAY up on the hill behind the ice cream van where you can't really see but at least you can move.
The Nanaz are both old and new, in that they've only been playing for a few years and yet are already each as old as the grandad bands playing here singing songs about menopause and being told they used to be beautiful.
It's a lovely smallish festival, big enough to have choices and headliners, but small enough to walk across, with hardly any bandwidth and which is too far away really. That drive home was very tedious.
Bravo though though. Hope it outlasts the Levellers, and both keep going for decades more. Hope to be back.

#Jellyfin cruft-clearance update: I found space to backup "short films" ~70 GB to then test, and doing Dashboard / Libraries / Libraries and on the Hamburger on Short Film clicking Remove did NOT delete any content! 🥳
Testing again, after backing up Television, which is an order of magnitude larger and full of bad or ambiguous filenames, but still backupable … given time.
I clearly will have metadata to fix for a while. The program I wrote for Cage's mesostics, seeking previously unused syllables from biblical names when Hebrew rules are different and OCCASSIONALLY, less and less, requiring human assistance, was also numbingly tedious.
John called it, "knitting with my computer" 😊
