Why should we insist on free software in education? "[B]ecause it is the only software that allows them to accomplish their essential missions: to disseminate human knowledge and to prepare students to be good members of their community." Read more: u.fsf.org/1dz

@academicalnerd I mostly view it as a log or an unofficial journal. There's nothing wrong with your English. Sometimes it is difficult to relate to your position.

The research you are doing sounds really cool. The equipment sounds like it will help with the research. I would recommend typesetting a version for IEEE so you can have a noted presence in two fields. You are bound to make some very powerful connections by having cross discipline research submitted.

I don’t even know if my posts make sense for readers, honestly. My English is a bit rusty and there is no feedback most of the time as I write into the void. Do you people read me? Are the texts clear? Or is it an indistinguishable mess of words?

Here is what I’ve been up to. First and foremost, new lab. Now my main work is to use neural networks to predict crystal stability. It took me a while to write and train the model for this, about a year along with studying and an internship. However, now that it’s mostly ready, I have to do an experiment.

It is not strictly necessary, but my department requires master’s dissertation to contain some experiments. I had to make one for bachelor diploma and now the history repeats itself. However, now I am in a different lab, with far better apparatus and work ethics. The experiments are mostly made with solid-state synthesis, which makes thing way easier (weigh – press – anneal – analyze – repeat).

Apart from this and an ungodly amount of papers I needed to study in the field and crippling burnout from personal problems, the last year went well. Now I have a week to finish most of the experiment and prepare something like the dissertation proposal. It is a discriminatory practice my department uses to make some students’ life more difficult. In my case it’s the theoretical nature of my work that is causing problems.

But I’ll power through this eventually.

@lupyuen If a quadcopter endangers personnel, then I would hate to see what kind of threat the actual fire, soot and hot air pose.

The article is very dismissive of the people who risk their property and freedom for information that could be shared IRT with firefighting efforts.

The SOPGON SG2042 64 core CPU could once again prove that T-Head is not to be ignored. Only time will tell how well this will perform.

Around 1024 of these cores would be a modest computational cluster for heavily threaded workloads. The Xuantie Cores were made for servers and they have their own secrets.

@thor There should be a government agent watching out of sight to make sure that there isn't misinformation in the forecast.

All the worlds a stage and we are merely players.

Hahaha, I can see that... but I do. The one thing that happens when im not on meds is i spread myself too thin doing too many things at once while following through on none of it. On the meds I get stuff done and tend to focus on one thing at a time, I just get very frustrated.

On the drugs ill follow through on something and it will be mediocer... off the drugs i wont follow through on any project but ill have 100 brilliant ideas.

Usually if i dont have a 9-5 ideally ill go through cycles on and off. When off I come up with ideas and take notes, and when on it i pick an idea and follow through, rinse repeat.

The sweet spot for me is 1-2 weeks on it. In that case I am hyper focused, no frustration, Its the sweet spot.

@freemo It is a good way to flex on peers. Perhaps MISRA C++ could be the answer.

@freemo Assembly for protecting the memory should work. It might be easier to just use Assembly nested in the code or call cookie cutter code to do the same thing.

A read of the object into protected memory would allow two objects to exist at once. The secure processor would have the immutable one and the user mode would have the mutable one. Depending on what is needed, either could be called by reference.

There's the secure processing on modern CPUs. That's going to be some awkward Assembly but the object would be as immutable as possible while remaining mutable. It could also be done by using the OS.
