This is a talk that was given Pr. Giulio Biroli in the Physics Department of a French University ("École d'Ingénieurs" technically) that talks about the use of generative AI in theoretical physics.
The love-hate relationship with LabVIEW is something I can not get closure about : great tool, abysmal ergonmics, revolutionnary piece of software, ubiquitous in some fields and still some LabVIEW ergonomics is just SO...bad : want to zoom on your diagram ? Out of luck !
Heard of death by a thousand cuts ? LabVIEW comes to mind.
I was hoping to intercept and reverse-engineer the protocol of the Oura rings.
For some reason, I thought this kind of device would attract a lot of hackers given the platform capabilities but I could not f8nd any other documented attempt except the really thorough iFixit (destructive) teardown : https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Oura+Ring+2+Teardown/135207
For anyone interested, the main author (if I understood properly) did a presentation at RustNL on the UI aspect that was quite impressive performance wise : https://youtu.be/rC4FCS-oMpg
I feel that one day I should write about this curse that NixOS brings into your life when you start enjoying it : you cannot go back to different systems but at the same time you (at least I) cannot vouch and recommend it to others as the languages and constructs (Flakes with a space or an utf-8 character in the path ? Here is a rabbit hole you can go down with) are just so byzantine and painful to work with but oh boy do they work... A crystal prison, nice but with sharp corners everywhere...
