Sardine based GUI for a light-sheet microscope.

Sardine based GUI for a light-sheet microscope.

3) It allows you to easily build applications with rich GUIs (currently through WPF). Here is the fairly complex GUI Lucas uses to run light-sheet experiments in behaving zebrafish larvae.

2) It has been designed to build complex systems where the dependencies between individual modules are kept to a minimum, so the while system doesn't fail due to slow response or failure of one component, which can be very useful for elaborate, custom-built systems.

Why might you choose to use this framework? This is evaluated in the paper in some detail, but some strengths of the framework are 1) it has extremely low overhead, in terms of system resources.

Very happy to see this paper come out from Lucas Martins @d-lucas.bsky.social and Alexandre Laborde. They developed an awesome framework, built with .NET, for developing software to run demanding high-speed behavior and functional imaging experiments.

No offense intended! Obviously in this case there should have been better communication regarding what the book was about from the publisher!

I remember reading this edition, which is a great example of what happens when no one involved in creating the cover art had actually read the book.

"These results show that spontaneous activity in the vertebrate brain is highly stereotyped at the level of functional cell assemblies and can be reliably captured through a common latent code."

Remembering Adam Kampff, neuroscience educator and researcher Kampff’s do-it-yourself approach inspired a generation of neuroscientists.

Adam Kampff prioritized spreading knowledge over publishing flashy papers in prestigious journals, but colleagues say his mark on neuroscience was undeniable. The researcher and educator passed away on 9 December.

It is still very much a work in progress, but I know he would be extremely happy to get feedback on any of it (especially suggestions for better proofs). Please feel free to pass it to anyone who might find it useful or interesting.

maths.orger.org – Home

I wanted to pass on a website my son is working on: maths.orger.org. He was personally frustrated with maths in school, when he was asked to apply knowledge of things he was not yet able to prove to himself, and this inspired him to work on a curriculum where everything is justified in strict order.

This is tough. Adam Kampff was one of the most brilliant people that I have had the privilege to know. He was a wonderful and generous friend and colleague, a remarkable teacher and a visionary who inspired hundreds of others. He was a shining example to us all, and we will miss him very much.

You are not wrong that it is true that if z(ab)=z(a)z(b) is true in binary, your condition will hold in any base - there are just occasional examples where it doesn't hold in the other direction.

Thanks, that looks interesting, though I am not sure if they are equivalent. E.g. 100010010 and 10010001 do not meet the condition of Z being multiplicative in binary, but do meet the condition of your problem in base 3 (product has only ones and zeros. (examples in base 10 might be very long)

I don't know if there is a simpler answer.

20.11.2025 17:34 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

If every number in this set is unique (for your case 3,5,6,8,10,11}) the sum will only have zeros and ones. If any number is repeated, you will usually have a digit >1. However there will be some exceptions if the number of repeats is 0 or 1 MOD n, where n is your base.

20.11.2025 17:34 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

OK. Well, in that case, I would offer this imperfect answer. Replace the two numbers you have with sets representing the positions of the ones. For your example 11010*100001 this would be {2,4,5} and {1,6}. Consider all the numbers you get from adding pairs of numbers taken from the two sets.

20.11.2025 17:34 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

I am interested to see your answer! I can't think of a rule that deals in a simple way with carried digits.
