August was a month when we once had the opportunity to run a short-course on the legacy of the Manhattan Project. Good memories for @jodi and me!

Anyone has experience with Keithley 2461 SMU? When I initialize the digitizer, the trigger model execution waits for the measurement to complete. Instead, I would like it to start collecting data and instantly start the pulse generator.

More universities want to be neutral. Will it work at SMU?

SMU is the latest school to adopt an institutional neutrality policy, refraining from taking stances on “external events, issues, or conflicts.”

It takes me a while to catch up on the stack of magazines in the living room, but I was thrilled to see this article from late 2025 about an outstanding #student and researcher from our former institution, #SMU in #Dallas. Joshua was always a pleasure to interact with and a formidible intellect in the research environment. I am thrilled he won the #ChurchillScholarship; kudos to his then-current #mentor, Joel Meyers.

Joshua's physics papers:

#Markdown has horrible edge cases and despite the valiant effort of #CommonMark, the dialects seem to diverge and multiply over time. I consider switching my personal stuff to #djot where possible: https://djot.net/

Ideas:
- Stop working on #smu https://github.com/karlb/smu and maintain either https://github.com/karlb/cdjot or https://github.com/karlb/minipandoc instead
- Use https://github.com/karlb/gemtext.lua to generate #gemtext (for #geminiprotocol instead of the unmaintained https://github.com/karlb/md2gemini

Thoughts?

#SMU lost. #FireEverybody

#SMU needs to distance itself from #TCU and the other truck stop schools in the #Big12.

Nice quad 1 win for the Wolfpack! #ncsu #gopack #acc #smu

#SMU scores, but it's under review. Hope they call it back.

EDIT: SMU touchdown. Now up 14-0.

7-0 #SMU at 13:52. Not the start I wanted to see.

The only logical explanation for #Miami's loss to #SMU on Saturdays is that the game was fixed.

If you're not blaming #Miami's loss to #SMU on the refs, you're a troll.

Have fun in #Arkansas Rhett Lashlee. #SMU can do much better!

This #TCU fan is savage! #SMU would never recover from this.

I was very sad to learn tonight of the passing of Rainer "Rai" Weiss, who shared the 2017 #NobelPrize in physics for the direct observation of gravitational waves by laser interferometry.

A fond memory was meeting him at the 2018 APS meeting, where he spent a lot of time chatting about career paths with one of our #SMU students. He was kind and gracious.

From the #nytimes:

Fakt 1: Kleine Generatoren sind weniger riskant als große.
Fakt 2: Sie sind aber auch weniger effizient.
