You need those backups for your backups.

Lewis de Zoete @lougo.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Ah you're right, I misread the post 🫠 what are the different ways you're backing up your markdown files? Either way the Notion to markdown workflow sounds pretty nice!

Obsidian is incredibly powerful, and it's all markdown files so it's really easy to backup using the built in git and GitHub integration plugins.

Pretty tasty, it was the best I had while I was there.

What a great trip to Kitakyushu, Japan for 🤖🇯🇵 RO-MAN2026! It's quiet this time of year, but the food and hospitality were top notch. Here's a link to the preprint paper: arxiv.org/abs/2608.25495 #HRI #robotics #ROMAN2026

That's a great read, really beautifully written!

That's sad to see. We drove through it and the weather was brutal, I can't imagine having to weather the storm in a house on an exposed cliff face!

Great read! It's been so weird hearing his old music while doomscrolling..

If it gets accepted, yes :)

I submitted my first conference paper as first author yesterday. Now it's just a matter of waiting 👀

I've seen the first few before but the ads definitely became more bold.

Those are some cute names! Queen and Her Majesty are very appropriate, any recently vacated chair becomes her throne 👑

My partner and I adopted this gorgeous girl! Name suggestions welcome 🐈

Excited announce that I am a coauthor on a recently published paper! "Virtual realities: Is there only one advanced image display that astronomers need?", published in Astronomy and Computing, looks at better understanding visualisation in #astronomy. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Data visualisation is an essential ingredient of scientific analysis, discovery, and communication. Along with a human (to do the looking) and the dat…

For two different Christmas dinners, we made a fattoush salad and a trifle with summer fruits.

Summer fruits trifle, with Greek yoghurt, homemade custard, roasted apricots. The trifle is topped with peaches and mangos.

And it's free! That looks great.

No dogs allowed unfortunately :(

So many great telescopes in Chile! Time to book in visit 🤔

Made a Greek style feast including Horta, roast potatoes, tzatziki and kangaroo skewers (for that Aussie twist).

Lewis de Zoete @lougo.bsky.social · 10/01/2024

Honestly that's completely understandable, it's a broad course and the fact you were doing it part time over a much longer period must've made it hard to stay dedicated to it. Are you still doing any Astro photography?

Lewis de Zoete @lougo.bsky.social · 10/01/2024

That sounds like such a cool opportunity! Surely you've got the skills and experience. What other kinds of opportunities have you been looking at?

Lewis de Zoete @lougo.bsky.social · 10/01/2024

My PhD's in computer vision now, bit of a departure from physics but a really interesting area.

Lewis de Zoete @lougo.bsky.social · 09/01/2024

Not bad Ibnul! PhD is a fun new challenge :) How've you been? Have you had the chance to apply what you learnt in your physics degree?

Lewis de Zoete @lougo.bsky.social · 09/01/2024

That's usually the first thing I try but I was told that's not allowed :(

Lewis de Zoete @lougo.bsky.social · 21/12/2023

That looks unreal! Definitely worth a visit when we're next in the South island.

It looks like a space ship! Time to make the pilgrimage.

Lewis de Zoete @lougo.bsky.social · 16/11/2023

That looks like a great opportunity! I'll look into the application process.

That's a cool mural! Where is it?

Want to make a radio telescope for $150 and a wok? These researchers have you covered: arxiv.org/abs/2309.15163 🔭📡

Nice, I just thought your phone camera had some telescope attached.

Lewis de Zoete @lougo.bsky.social · 18/10/2023

Far out, how close is that balloon?

Lewis de Zoete @lougo.bsky.social · 12/10/2023

That's pretty much the consensus I've heard from post-docs and Astro phd's, the skills are valued in other industries!

Nearly finished processing a dataset of short (3-20 second) videos, trying to estimate the pose and positions of people in each frame. It's taken nearly 55 hours of compute time on a supercomputer 🥴 I've got to be doing something wrong...
