Y’all, the situation at Whole Foods is *grim*. Went for some parsley and red hot peppers and … nada. Parsley is terrible and almost $3 a bunch for the smallest bunch I’ve ever seen. Zero red hot peppers (there were orange habaneros though)

A little clip from last night's city #fireworks here in Cambridge. I love these sparky ones in slo-mo.

The Simons Observatory: Characterization of All DC/RF Routing Wafers for Detector Modules
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a cosmic microwave background experiment with over 67,000 polarization-sensitive transition-edge sensor (TES) detectors currently installed for use in observations and plans to increase the total detector count to ${\sim}$98,000 detectors with the Advanced SO upgrade. The TES arrays are packaged into Universal Focal-Plane Modules (UFMs), which also contain the multiplexing readout circuit. Within a readout module, a DC/RF routing wafer provides a cold interface be…

Friday night and I've got nowhere to be and a broken website to tend to #HappyNerd

During the Halloween season,
I'm always on the lookout for scary stories.
None were more frightening than Sebastian Haffner's memoir,
which depicts the plight of average Germans during the rise of Nazism.

Population-Scale Network Embeddings Expose Educational Divides in Network Structure Related to Right-Wing Populist Voting
Administrative registry data can be used to construct population-scale networks whose ties reflect shared social contexts between persons. With machine learning, such networks can be encoded into numerical representations -- embeddings -- that automatically capture individuals' position within the network. We created embeddings for all persons in the Dutch population from a population-scale network that represents five shared contexts: neighborhood, work, family, household, and school. To asses…

Nice!
