applying for jobs again
screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

I'm pleased to share our new work, “Spatio-temporal organization of network activity patterns in the hippocampus”, out in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social !
With Demi Brizee & David Dupret, we track how oscillations and spiking behaviour map onto hippocampal layers using an LFP-based embedding.

#ThePlainRoundabout: one of the most dangerous roundabouts in the country and the only one in Oxford with adverts.
Adverts are there to distract so they will add to the danger.
Where is #VisionZero?
OBJECT to this (retrospective!) planning application. It is quick and easy to complete.
bookllyfr.bsky.social Owen Massey @bookllyfr.bsky.social · Feb 10
This is the most dangerous roundabout in Oxford: these adverts need to be removed, not revived.

Please OBJECT to this proposal using the form at public.oxford.gov.uk/online-appli...
