Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 06/10/2026some 2D in 3D blender practice with my favourite scene from Undertale 020
Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 27/09/2026render we made on my first funemployment blender stream. Was fun, will do some more in the near future! 030
Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I love how now when I google a word like "Scincerely" to double check I spelt it correctly, I now get 5 autogenerated paragraphs opining whether I meant "Sincerely". Love. It. 050
Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I find it hard to express just how much joy editing to get rid of this little hangnail text brings me. 0111
Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 07/09/2026citing this for my paper makes me want to make a Summoning-Salt-esque video on this topic haha 050
Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Interesting, thats good to know! I like it enough to finish this one to the end, maybe I'll see how it goes from there. I think i was thinking it'd be something like hitchhikers guide, so maybe its my own expectations getting in the way 020
Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Reading Dungeon Crawler Carl (about half way through book 1). So far the style isn't my thing but I'm willing to finish the first book. Anyone else felt the same way in the first book but then it clicked? Worth sticking with it? 130
Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Honestly, not sure. Even "leaving academia" might be strong (it might be a fallback if nothing else comes up). I've been working hard to finish up papers, hence no videos, which hasn't left much time for job searching. Right now I'm just excited to get a break and get back to videos for a bit. 030
Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 06/09/2026another round of figure updates complete. Wierldy, its a bit of a bummer leaving academia soon on a paper / topic I am really enjoying. This might be my favourite paper I've written so far. Good to end on a high note I guess? 190
Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Papers being "written" in a couple of hours, and that being a point of pride, is disturbing. ""written"" doesn't mean published, but that distinction often doesn't mean much to the general public either. Anyway, back to hour 100 of my single paper that will probably never be cited -_- 060
Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 30/08/2026good news: prof liked my new results for paper bad news: prof wants me to pivot paper to those new results... which means all my figures are useless. back to the paper mines 070
Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Ooo I just checked out their animal crossing remix haha, I feel like if someone can make AC hype then you can get me to go for a run! Thanks for the reco! 010
Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Also in case anyone is interested, highlights from my current running list: You're Mine -- Carpenter Brut (going for a PB song) First Steps -- Celeste OST (hill song) The Hero -- One Punch Man OP (second wind song) Great Days -- Jojo 4 (last km song) Golden -- KpopDH (all around keeping pace song) 020
Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Genuinely shocked I never thought to include that for hills. Right now my hill running song is First Steps from the Celeste soundtrack. 120
Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Does anyone have any running music recommendations? My current playlist is getting a bit stale -_- 240
Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 13/08/2026nothing like the feeling of running a diff command after a day of editing :') 080
Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 11/08/2026I feel like I've been doing academia wrong www.science.org/content/arti...science.orgHow easy is it to fudge your scientific rank? Meet Larry, the world’s most cited cat“Exercise in absurdity” reveals flaws in Google Scholar’s productivity metrics 040

Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 16/07/2026I haven't been able to do any video work because I'm working on 4 papers simutanously(-ish) and am in academic figure making hell. Please send help. 090
Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 13/06/2026The music really stood out to me in the trailer and now its clear why. A collab for the ages wow 010
Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 31/05/2026that is so cool, its giving me so many ideas of other visualizations. So jealous but also you made my day :) 010
Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 31/05/2026woah woah what is it? Its like the character rasters, no? 110
Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 07/05/2026probably a bit of a harsher tone than I am known for but I just want better public transportation lol 030
Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 07/05/2026It's becoming harder to be a @calgary.ca defender. When gas prices are so high, congestion is so high, and road fatalities are so high, the last thing we need is more barriers to public transit.

Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Sometimes I write something and I wonder - what would Not David viewers think if they saw how I texted my friends in the group chat 160
Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 27/04/2026Oh thats super cool! I don't have any One Piece planned things at the moment but in the future I would definitely be interested! I might reach out to see where its at :) p.s., sorry for late reply I did that thing where I read the message while doing something thinking "i'll reply in a minute" lol 120
Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 18/04/2026I made a video on One Piece faction networks on the second channel! If you're on Patreon or Nebula there is also an extended discussion on network analysis and some of the considerations that go into it. Nebula: nebula.tv/videos/notda...

Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 10/04/2026I can't believe that within the same week we've found out both who Satoshi Nakamoto and Stave Gobes are. What a ride. 030
Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 06/04/2026Recently covered "Effective Dimensionality: A Tutorial" in a group journal club. Overall a good read. Not sold on the practicality of the method (a bit of strawmaning commonly used approaches) but it got me to appriciate some aspects of data more. Can recommend. iris.unito.it/retrieve/han...iris.unito.it 010
Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 01/04/2026I made this for the next video. It took about 2 months of work and a cluster computer and It might be the prettiest thing I've ever made data wise. And its wrong. But its very pretty and I wanted to share. 0131
Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 31/03/2026Will be attending a workshop in Dresden in May. Arriving in Munich May 10th, very excited to go backkkk 040

Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Every new Jenny Nicholson video is a cultural wastershed moment it feels like. 010
Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 24/03/2026I'm not sure if a video has ever affected me as much as the interaction at 14:28 of the new Jenny Nicholson video youtu.be/-Gq1P2aaDqM?...youtu.beMy Favorite Twilight KnockoffYouTube video by Jenny Nicholson 120
Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 27/02/2026If Lesser Dog isn't Pombon's middle evolution I'll be very disappointed 030
Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 26/02/2026It's kinda hard to overstate the impact that Nujabe's music has had on me, and thats besides his impact on music as a whole. It got me through some of the worst times and is there with me in the best times.

Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 08/02/2026This sub-30 5k run brought to you by playing Golden from KPDH on repeat 040
Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 05/02/2026for context -- to reboot an MRI can cost about $200K in direct costs, but this does not include scan-time loss for patients and rescheduling costs. I've been wanting to make a video just nerding out about MRIs for years now :/ they are so cool 020
Not David @notdavidyt.bsky.social · 05/02/2026Today I learned that because MRIs are superconducting, they are cheap to keep going but *very* expensive to turn off/on. They are only ever turned off in a life-threatening emergency and can take a week to bring back online. This means the MRI scene in the newest final destination makes no sense. 190
