Excited to share some personal news:

Mum and baby doing well - some ongoing ‘sunbed’ treatment to drop his bilirubin levels, but otherwise all happy and healthy.

@DrLachie could you get it to work with stockfish to show a 3d representation of the next best moves?

For reasons that I can't adequately explain, even to myself, I've coded up a pipeline in python and blender that can take a chess pgn file and then recreate the game in 3d.
I might get better piece models and then see if I can do anything cool with it. Open to ideas

@d08890 Newton lived in a time before spectroscopy because he hasn't invented it yet

Internet friends, I’m thrilled to share our work out today in @Nature! We've developed a label-free, single-molecule method using high-finesse microcavities, enabling us to profile molecules in solution. 1/10 nature.com/articles/s4158…

@Single_Mole @ryancbriggs @economeager Well if this is for random numbers drawn from an exponential distribution, the mean will be the inverse of the rate

The Codex Gigas is the largest extant medieval illuminated manuscript in the world, at a length of 92 cm. The manuscript was created in the early 13th century in the Benedictine monastery of Podlažice in Bohemia, now a region in the modern-day Czech Republic. The story is that a monk procrastinated his task of copying the Bible. So on the final night the Devil came to him and said, “I will grant you the ability to finish this text if you include a picture of me.”

Evolutionary history is full of 'seconds' - secondarily aquatic lineages, secondarily flightless lineages - but they seem to struggle with counting further. Water>land>water is common, but water>land>water>land is to my knowledge unheard of.
Anyone know of an exception?

@AlexNeedsSpace Incredible how often labs in house protocols will say stuff like "this ONLY works if the thermoshaker is facing east" and then the method sections in their papers won't even say they used a thermoshaker

Remember kids, if someone says your paper has too many details and that you should remove them, there's a poor grad student trying to replicate results from a publication with barely any information

@SOPHONTSIMP I think in the same way that any new idea for public transport would get optimised into being a train, any new idea for a flying car would get optimised into being a helicopter

We’ve had flying cars since the 1940s, they’re called helicopters.

@d08890 I assume you mean for something to eat on the go? Tesco will do meal deals that may well be healthier depending on what you pick but greggs better if you want some kind of pastry

ok uk people, which is better, and along which axes: tesco or greggs?

@d08890 Werent corpuscles specifically envisioned as weightless?

q: doesn't the conjunction of newtonian gravitation and the corpuscular theory of light entail gravitational lensing of some kind?
