The paper cup thing also works because the paper is so thin that heat is quickly transferred to the water (and because paper doesn't sag under heat, heh.) |

Looking forward to an hour or two of Tom 7 Academy! |

No SSL yet! My new server is "warming up" :)
Eli: The embedder fibers will improve my grip strength, making me even more powerful!!! |

Also I updated FixederSys with a bunch of new characters. Basically if I ever see a codepoint not render, like if I'm looking at some Lean code and one of the brackets isn't showing up, then I will get completely sidetracked by drawing its entire codepage. |

You might want to put a clear coat on that door handle, if you haven't already. The carbon fibers can rub off and embed themselves in your skin! |

The record of the proceedings of SIGBOVIK 2025 the nineteenth annual intercalary robot dance party in celebration of workshop on symposium about 2⁶th birthdays, in particular, that of Harry Q. Bovik, presented by the association for computational heresy are now available for download from "https://sigbovik.org/2025/proceedings.pdf" |

You need to add SSL so that people do not know I'm a gay pirate assassin. |
| |
wow, I was thinking out of the blue for no reason whatsoever "oh, spacebar doesn't have ssl so the message board doesn't load in lc's ifame anymore..."
I come here and there you go. ssl coming up.
maybe.
🤞🏼 |

Is there any nickname sanitization? |

Is there any nickname authentication? |

> you can never really be sure if I have lost 1,000 points, even if the next month comes 'round. |
| |
looks like someone may lose 1000 points |

No April post? Hope you’re alright |

YOU DON'T MISS!! Thanks for the great post and looking forward to the video. These long-form, funny-yet-educational project blog posts really do it for me. Do you know anyone else that makes content like this? |
| |
The video gives a great intuition, even before you read the paper. |
| |
Sorry! The online presence was weak this year (see e.g. website), which is a bit sad to me since we do get a lot of submissions from outside CMU these days. The conference did happen, though, and it seemed pretty healthy.
I am working on a video and it will be better than my SIGBOVIK talk was. But now that there are no deadlines I am taking my time (: |
| |
devastated there was no livestream this year, but at least there's a tom7 video to look forward to |
| |
I'll get around to reading the paper maybe sometime before the video comes out. I skipped to the end and was not disappointed:
“Robustness”. BoVeX no longer crashes programs like Adobe Acrobat that expect the PDFs to be “correct.” LOL!!
Keep up the good work :) |

Sigbovik conference homepage just came alive, with a call for submissions: http://sigbovik.org/2025/ |

.... And are points for march also safe?

Careful with that! My old PI had about that many half finished projects cluttering up his lab and still somehow entertained the idea of finishing all or most of them. EG enough to at one point in the 2010s spend half a day showing me his old interrupt driven soft-realtime code written in Borland C 3.1 on a DOS 486, written back when that was contemporary technology. Needless to say that was the last time anybody touched that code or desk-full of hardware until surplus came to trash all the lab's junk about 5 years later when he retired, with perhaps only one more of those 40 or so projects finished meanwhile.
Not to say his soft real time interrupt based DOS code wasn't top-notch! I'm sure somebody could have done a very decent dissertation using that code and pile of equipment on that one desk. |
