9. 용어는 아니지만, 주마다 응급실 비용관련 법이 있습니다. 가령 응급실 이용하여 발생하는 비용(가령 응급 수술)에 대해서는 보험이 무조건 커버를 해줘야 한다는 것들이거나, 비상식적으로 높은 금액을 응급실 및 앰뷸런스 이용에 대해 청구할 수 없다거나 하는 법입니다. 없는 주가 더 많습니다 (27개주).

미국으로 유학을 오는데, 저처럼 자주 아프신 분들은 의료 용어를 열심히 배워서 오세요.

It is so sweet of you!

Introduction to Quantum Computing for Visualization Researchers | VIS 2026 Tutorial

That being said, I am leaving the U.S. pretty soon. But, I’ll be at @ieeevis.bsky.social in Boston, and I hope to catch up with folks there. I will be running a tutorial for introductory quantum computing (hqci-tutorial.github.io). Please attend!

hqci-tutorial.github.io

Plus, I thank my research mentors and collaborators, Leilani Battle, Jane Hoffswell, @mattbrehmer.bsky.social, @domoritz.de, and Vidya Setlur. My experiences at MU Collective and IDL were always wonderful. Special thanks to Inha Cha and Jooyoung Park for emotional support throughout this journey.

One defining remark about my research training is “good mentors.” I am grateful and fortunate that I met @jessicahullman.bsky.social as my Ph.D. advisor and @jheer.org as my postdoc supervisor.

140

Plus, I will be teaching data visualization courses for graduate and undergraduate courses. If you have any tips for beginning faculty, please share—I'd love to hear them!

120

I’m excited to build a research group that focuses on quantum computing interfaces, automated support for empirical experiment design, and audio-based data interaction. With that being said, I’ll recruit graduate students. If you’re interested in working with me, please feel free to contact me.

Some updates 🎉 I am very happy to announce that I am joining KAIST School of Computing as an Assistant Professor, starting this Fall semester. The university is located in Daejeon, South Korea. I am excited for this new chapter, and I can’t wait to meet wonderful HCI researchers there.

Uhm... PCS is fully down... is it only to me...? Or is it under maintenance?

Is it - one point fifth - first point five - first point fifth - one and halfth - first and halfth ?

I've been taking some break on social media, but I felt I needed to share this for public interest.

8. Move the file to the "Theme Fonts" directory. 9. Open PowerPoint, and check the slide masters. Voila. Note: "panose" is for the classification purposes, so for your own use, you don't have to worry.

6. Then, change "typeface" in "a:latin". Change for other languages if needed. This is for heading. 7. Scroll down, there's another same set for body fonts. Change "typeface" in "a:latin" (second screenshot).

<a:minorFont>
<a:latin typeface="Arial" panose="020B0604020202020204" />
<a:ea typeface="" />
<a:cs typeface="" />
<a:font script="Jpan" typeface="ＭＳＰゴシック"/>
<a:font script="Hang" typeface="굴림"/>
<a:font script="Hans" typeface="黑体"/>
<a:font script="Hant" typeface="微軟正黑體"/>

2. Duplicate an existing XML file in a different folder. 3. Change the name of the new file. 4. Open the new file on a code/text editor (whichever is fine). 5. [At this point, you know how to read xml] In the screenshot, change "name" in "a:fontScheme". ...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
<a:fontScheme name="Arial" xmlns:a="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/drawingml/2006/main">
<a:majorFont>
<a:latin typeface="Arial" panose="020B0604020202020204" />
<a:ea typeface="" />
<a:cs typeface="" />

I just learned how to add a custom font for slide masters for PowerPoint on Mac. [Do only if you're confident] 0. Quit Powerpoint. 1. Locate to: Application > Microsoft Powerpoint > [Right click] > Show Package Contents > Contents > Resources > Office Themes > Theme Fonts ...

I think we can start a 10K+ party. (Mine just passed 40K).

You might want to check PCS and see if you got some review requests that are already accepted but you didn't accept. :)

Well.. it is not always an imaginative situation :)

Is this after frustration? Then I am very much relatable to your emotion.

This is a byproduct from my CHI 2025 work on quantum interfaces (paper: arxiv.org/abs/2502.00202, package: see-mike-out.github.io/patoka/). Echo stands for the very first public library that I initially published in WA.

011

Cool features include: - Cross highlighting (you need to provide qubit and operation match information) - Click/Hover/Focus interaction supports with custom functions - Some preset "tooltip" functions for interactivity - Export as PNG and SVG There are example/test files in the repo as well.

100

Echo-circuit uses information that one can retrieve via Qiskit, Cirq, or Q#. For simple circuits, just provide the # of qubits, the # of classical bits, and the gate list. There are some utilities that layout gates and qubits. Please refer to the readme github.com/see-mike-out... for details.

100

To install, - For Vanilla.js github.com/see-mike-out... (download both *.css and *.umd.js files) - For NPM: `npm install echo-circuit` (Readme has more details) Demo: see-mike-out.github.io/patoka-circu... (Tested on Safari, Chrome, and Firefox via both modes)
