Appose processing hackathon with @jytinevez.bsky.social, @ctrue.bsky.social, @gaellel.bsky.social, @strigaud.bsky.social, Carlos and Thomas . Simple POC with Java calling python through Appose to flip blocks. Promising!

YouTube's real genius: get companies to pay for ads so annoying that users end up paying Google directly to remove them. Brands fund their own irrelevance.

Nice! Sorry no time to look in detail, but how does mcp work with images ? Is there an included vision model that takes rgb screenshots, or is it just text based ?

10 hours -> 10 seconds for initialisation. Looks promising.

Claude code flexing:
----
For your case with uniform TIFFs on network storage, lazy validation would transform a multi-hour init into seconds. The validation cost is amortized across actual reads.
----
Let's see if that's true!

Is there a way to sync claude code with git: if I switch branch or checkout an older commit then the discussions revert to their states at these previous points / branch ?

Are there any rankings of LLM capabilities by language? My intuition is: more verbose and grammatically strict languages would perform better.

4Pi-SIMFLUX: 4Pi single-molecule localization microscopy with structured illumination - Nature Methods 4Pi-SIMFLUX is a single-molecule localization microscopy approach that achieves a near-isotropic resolution below 10โ€‰nm in whole mammalian cells.

We are happy to share our latest work, 4Pi-SIMFLUX, which combines structured illumination with interferometric detection to achieve near-isotropic 3D localization precision of 2โ€“3 nm and resolve sub-10 nm structural features across whole mammalian cells.

Diving into video editing to update ABBA's tutorial. CapCut's free version is pretty great! (Now I will need to make peace with the sound of my own voice). Here's a preview:

Very cool! We tried this, and it worked beautifully! (We did not require the second film; maybe we were lucky! )

There's just one thing we did not achieve yet: the gel was moving quite a lot. How do you prevent that ? Does PLL treatment work with the FEP film ?

LUT color mapping for spots/particles rendering in #bigvolumeviewer is almost finished. The speed is mapped by color (middle) and color + spot size (right).
