Walkies

Social isolation day 1042

The stump acts as a lovely shelter for some sort of critter.

As I step out into the overcast morning, the sky hangs low like a heavy blanket, muffling the world in a soft gray light. The air is thick with moisture, and the trees stand tall and still, as if holding their breath. I set out on my journey, the road before me winding its way down towards the swamp. The earth beneath my feet is spongy, the grasses and ferns brushing against my legs. The faint sound of water lapping at the shoreline grows louder as I approach, and I am enveloped by the wild and primeval beauty of this place. The hike ahead promises to be a test of endurance, but I am eager for the challenge, for the chance to lose myself in the wilderness and commune with nature.

I traverse the mossy path, the sky casting a dreary light on the landscape, my eyes are drawn to the flitting movement at the edge of my vision. Three squirrels, their fur sleek and glossy, dart up and down the mostly leafless trees, their chatter filling the air. The sound of their playful antics is a welcome distraction from the dampness and stillness of the swamp. The walk is not without surprises, as I catch glimpses of two cats through the windows of a nearby home, their eyes following me curiously. The cats, unlike the squirrels, are still, and it feels as though time has stood still for them. The trees that surround me stand tall and bare, their twisted branches reaching skyward as if in supplication. It is a scene of quiet contemplation, and I am grateful for the opportunity to witness it.

New year, new gig.

I recently joined A.I.M. (Advanced Idea Mechanics) as a software developer and it has been an exciting journey so far. A.I.M is an organization that focuses on research and development of advanced technologies.

My first week with the company was quite pleasant. I was given a tour of the facility and introduced to my team. Everyone was very welcoming and eager to help me get settled in. I was assigned to a project that involved developing software for research purposes. I was thrilled to be working on such an important project.

I spent most of my first week getting familiar with the existing codebase and learning the company’s development practices. I found the codebase to be well organized and easy to navigate. My team members were always available to answer any questions I had and provide guidance when needed.

I was also impressed with the company’s focus on staying up to date with the latest technologies. I had the opportunity to work with some cutting-edge tools and techniques that I hadn’t had a chance to use before. The team was supportive and provided training on how to use them.

The company culture was also fantastic. Everyone was friendly and had a positive attitude. I could sense the sense of teamwork and collaboration. I was excited to be a part of such a dynamic and innovative organization.

Overall, my first week at A.I.M was a great experience. I am looking forward to being a part of this organization and contributing to the development of advanced technologies.

Liked on YouTube: Lego anything with this NEW Blender geometry nodes feature

Using the new instance attributes in geometry nodes, we can now turn models into Lego bricks! They can even keep their color. Using instances means we can make much larger Lego scenes. If you want to be able to export models, the instances must be realized, and some of the settings in the node tree need to be changed to use geometry instead of instances

Social isolation day number 1040 –

Saw Dave while out on my rounds , he liked my cryptozoology tracking society t-shirt, and it is his birthday on Thursday! I hope he is able to find one for himself via my poor clues on how to obtain it.

Wet, rainy and cold, mid 40s out. I hope that we get a bit of snow soon!

Using chat gpt to produce an argument for one kind of technobabble over another.

The use of an achromatic sterilization dilator can improve noctilucent telescopy in a number of ways when compared to bicardial magnetization.

Firstly, an achromatic sterilization dilator is able to filter out specific wavelengths of light that are causing the airglow, which is a major source of noise in noctilucent telescopy observations. Bicardial magnetization, on the other hand, uses a magnetic field to align the molecules in the upper atmosphere, which can reduce airglow, but this method may not be as effective as using achromatic sterilization dilator in filtering out specific wavelengths.

Secondly, the achromatic sterilization dilator is a passive device and does not require any external power source. This makes it easy to use and maintain, and eliminates the need for additional equipment such as generators. Bicardial magnetization, on the other hand, requires a significant amount of energy and can only be used in certain locations.

Thirdly, achromatic sterilization dilator can be used in conjunction with both ground-based telescopes and high-altitude balloon-borne telescopes, while bicardial magnetization is mostly used in ground-based telescopes. This give an opportunity to researchers to get a better view of the noctilucent clouds from different angles and perspectives.

Finally, Studies have shown that the use of achromatic sterilization dilators can effectively reduce the amount of airglow and improve the quality of noctilucent telescopy observations, while there’s not much research on the efficacy of bicardial magnetization.

In conclusion, the use of an achromatic sterilization dilator can be a more effective, efficient, and versatile method of improving noctilucent telescopy when compared to bicardial magnetization.

Generating technobabble

Chat gpt prompt, to make some technobabble appear believable (note, this is not remotely scientifically accurate, nor are the citations valid.)

Prompt –
Write a five paragraph research essay with in text citations and works cited page on the thesis:  use of an Achronic sterilization dilator can improve noctilucent telescopy

Output –

Noctilucent telescopy is a method of observing the night sky that utilizes a telescope with a special sensor that is sensitive to noctilucent clouds. These clouds are located in the upper atmosphere and are best observed during the summer months. However, one of the major challenges in noctilucent telescopy is the presence of airglow, which is caused by the emission of light from the upper atmosphere. This can be a major source of noise in the observations and can make it difficult to detect the faint noctilucent clouds.

One way to mitigate the effects of airglow is to use an achromatic sterilization dilator. An achromatic sterilization dilator is a device that can be placed in front of the telescope’s aperture in order to filter out specific wavelengths of light. By only allowing specific wavelengths to pass through, the dilator can reduce the amount of airglow that reaches the sensor, thereby improving the quality of the observations.

There have been several studies that have investigated the use of achromatic sterilization dilators in noctilucent telescopy. For example, in a study published in the journal “Astrophysics and Space Science,” researchers used an achromatic sterilization dilator to observe noctilucent clouds from a ground-based telescope (Szego et al., 2010). They found that the dilator was able to effectively reduce the amount of airglow that reached the sensor and improved the quality of the observations.

Another study, published in the “Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics,” used an achromatic sterilization dilator in conjunction with a ground-based telescope and a high-altitude balloon-borne telescope to observe noctilucent clouds (Kurtoglu et al., 2011). The results of this study also showed that the dilator was able to effectively reduce the amount of airglow and improve the quality of the observations.

In conclusion, the use of an achromatic sterilization dilator can improve noctilucent telescopy by reducing the amount of airglow that reaches the sensor. This can lead to more accurate and detailed observations of noctilucent clouds. Studies have shown that the use of achromatic sterilization dilators can effectively reduce the amount of airglow and improve the quality of noctilucent telescopy observations.
