Looks like I'll be defending my dissertation in May/June.... now to wrap up last bits and pieces and start preparing!

Scientists, when do we start lobbying for #Bluesky to implement native LaTeX support? #science #physics #mathematics 🧪⚛️

I asked once whether beets are more or less purple than turmeric is yellow. Chemist friend was around and 15 minutes of calculation later we determined turmeric is more than 100x as yellow as beets are purple.

After several weeks I'm finally done scraping all the rest of the world's Tekken 8 tournament sets.... now just to do a little data cleaning!

For friends, I'm losing my job, so if your company is hiring please let me know! Think people manager with technical skills. Happy to talk details in DMs about the 9-5

Made some more progress on tekkenratings.tristanmelton.com ! Now with match history and rating-over-time plots. I think I'm almost at a point where I can spin it out and start advertising it on Reddit / other places, or add in EU / other regions. Or, I can add a search-by-username.... Unsure.

It's always a good feeling when the phenomenon you find appears in the simulations as well 😎

Added some global statistics based on the Tekken 8 tournament glicko2 ratings I've calculated to TekkenRatings since I can't do any lab measurements while I wait for a SSA to arrive...

First version of my Tekken 8 offline rating system is built! It can be found at the link below - just put in your user slug (from your start.gg profile) and click submit, and your glicko2 rating and deviation will pop up. I've scraped most of the past year's tournaments (only in the US for now...)

The backend of my Tekken Offline ELO system seems to be working.... I have to manually tell it to update the database for older matches with a walking time window and still need to automate current tournament runnings but so far so good.

Found some low power four-wave-mixing in some short (~few mm) SiN waveguides. The kicker is I'm seeing it between two completely separate lasers over a broad wavelength range. Only thing I can come up with currently is some gain seeding between the two lasers but currently a little stuck.

Made some progress with MariaDB, but still learning all the conventions and best practices. Hats off to y'all that do this every day!

Making some initial progress with querying the start.gg API. At the moment, I'm simply querying for 4 (random?) past tournaments within the US that contain Tekken 8 events and filtering out only the T8 event, grabbing the entrant's associated user ID (constant across all events) and their sets.

I won a Tekken 8 local! Originally posted by qAmzng over on X (x.com/qAmzng/statu...).

Won my very first Tekken local!

Decided I'm going to try and jump back into my love for coding and work on a glicko2 rating system for start.gg Tekken tournaments! My plan is to help tournament goers be able to compare their results on a more quantitative basis, as event-to-event skill won't always be equal.

FYI for Southern Californa Tekken mutuals - I have made a website for easy access to the locals across the whole SoCal region (and for search indexing, since Discord can't be indexed)! Let me know if your local is not listed and I can work to add it to the calendar! socaltekkenlocals.com
