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

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.

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.

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.

I am completely new to this world. Everything I know is from the internet - hamstudy.org & YouTube primarily. The prospect of communicating with satellites is thrilling to me! I'm also interested in the "surival" uses of alternative forms of communication. #introduction #ham
