Saturday evening picnic at the Telluride Neuromorphic Engineering Workshop. (The local airport is below us, off in the distance, at 9,000 ft / 2.7 km above sea level. ) #telluride #neuromorph #NeuromorphicEngineering

According to Letterboxd’s analysis of the movies I’ve watched this year, my “most watched theme” is “Crude humor and satire”, and my “most watched nanogenre” is tied between ”Weird, Disturbing, Intriguing” and “Explosives, Adventure, Predictable”.

I can’t even… Where does one begin… Can Mastodon come up with a “suggested reviewer” for reviewing this article?

Emailed request to review an article on legal issues regarding time travel.
“ hope this message finds you well. I am following up on the email I sent earlier regarding our paper on Special Time Travel Zones—a concept exploring localized regulations for time travel, akin to Special Economic Zones.
Given your expertise in this area, we would greatly value your insights on the draft, particularly regarding the feasibility of such zones from a regulatory perspective.”
