W45

Another full week – and three more to go. Time flies, even without admin (that was the time for corporate taxes, but also preparing tenants admin).

A bit of prospective, meeting with old projects partners (as well as new prospects in Brest!), and discussing new ways of looking at things - and these are taking shape, maybe for a last project on this stretch? Internal prospects, too, meeting Simon for the first time - and interesting approach and a clear way to it. And some LLM work on using the SFIA framework to job reqs.

Research-wise, productive steps on the API paper, which is now out on arXiv (but still needs an update with the latest dataset), and the D3.14 paper was officially submitted with solid updates, while presenting to the wider team.

Also some more hardware, projects moved forward with tests on the 8x8 matrix (ESP32-S3), I als got the new FT600 boards (but weirdly they don’t work, the 1.0V source isn’t outputting 1V..), getting some more teardown work on old probes, and addressing issues with the phADC project. That’s hardware for you - freezing boards to see where shorts happen =) And having no good explanation as to why a certain component generates a short.. I also refreshed some of the pic0rick documentation, images and video.

Personal time was productive, too: I refined a kefir recipe, enjoyed some books (Assassin Royal 3 and Scarlett et Novak), and checked out Le Crabe Tambour with an amazing Rochefort. Plus some Netflix with The Age of Adaline and Sauver ou périr. Not to mention the start of the Vendée Globe, including the fantasy sailing game Virtual Regatta!
