Method of the Year 2025: electron microscopy-based connectomics - Nature Methods
A large network of interconnected neurons serves as the basis of brain function and of behavior. Methodological advances have enabled the reconstruction of large-scale and even whole-brain connectomes...

Haidilao? Overrated. Hype is for the free flow dessert and drinks. Otherwise? Meh.

No wonder things are slow lately. I updated my gpu driver, then i forgot to install the latest CUDA and cuDNN libraries - lesson learned!

How do I check how many bytes of memory that my code is taking up to run? From what I've found from several articles, this is not exactly a simple cli command or linear process that can be executed in seconds? Interesting way of learning how memory is allocated every time a function is called.

Note to self: no more coffee after 4pm or else your brain resets to GMT+00 and wonder why you're wide awake doing data analysis on your @ubuntu-ls.bsky.social at 2am here at GMT+08....

Should I try out @heyputer.bsky.social for coding projects and deploying stuff? Is it as good as having it done locally? Asking for a friend.

Did a thing. Wrote a python pipeline to help me identify segmentation errors based on biological morphometry and mathematical heuristics. Saliency map turned out great. Used genus=1 to identify any tiny errors. Now instead of eyeballing, I just need to focus on the flagged list. Not bad for a start!

The thing is, why is a PhD student the FIRST AUTHOR on a consortium paper?!
Reeks of academic bureaucracy BS if you ask me. https://x.com/RetractionWatch/status/2011831355953344708
