Some updates 🎉 I am very happy to announce that I am joining KAIST School of Computing as an Assistant Professor, starting this Fall semester. The university is located in Daejeon, South Korea. I am excited for this new chapter, and I can’t wait to meet wonderful HCI researchers there.

Back...!

Uhm... PCS is fully down... is it only to me...? Or is it under maintenance?

Jin Cho.......

Databases are saving my life really.

Is it - one point fifth - first point five - first point fifth - one and halfth - first and halfth ?

You might want to check PCS and see if you got some review requests that are already accepted but you didn't accept. :)

Found a reason for not sleeping right now: making a phone call to customer service operating on the Eastern Time.

Is knuckle mnemonic a global thing to teach in the kindergarten?

There has been a (small but strong) demand for interactive quantum circuit vis for web env like Jupyter Notebook. I originally built this using Svelte, but not everyone uses Svelte (though I believe they should). In response, I release this package `echo-circuit` www.npmjs.com/package/echo...

What is the most *wicked* ID system to you? Mine: Irish Zip Code system (Eircode) Why? An Eircode consists of 7 alphanumeric digits with the first 3 digits for routing and the last 4 digits for unique building number. Both routing and building numbers are randomized.

I am today years old knowing that I can do ssh via vs code.

I thought it was kinda cute so...

is my immune system considered high when it considers myself as antigen and is good at responding to that? 🫢

Hello *Quantum* World! Quantum computing (QC) is expected to provide scalable solutions for problems that classical computers often take days and years. In general, QC is useful for an exhaustive search over numerous candidates. However, working with QC remains a bit mythical. 🧵

I'd be happy at least the reduced NIH budget went to public health insurance.

If you want a playlist for intensive classical musics to boost up your vibe/mood for working... - "Cornfield Chase" by Hans Zimmer - Movement 3 from Violin Concerto No.2 in B Minor Op. 7. (aka La Campanella) by Paganini (preferred recording: Eiji Oue, NDR Radiophilharmonie, Kristof Barati).

new habit: draft a short proposal and use it as a to-do list (it actually works)

There are different types of people based on what appears on the search list when you search "bootstrap".

when I see a wheel file, i miss min.js.

If you are traveling to Japan for CHI and want to do some sightseeing, Apr 26–May 5 is the Golden Week in Japan, where people travel a LOT. Many holidays as well.

Gotta think of how to describe quantum computing to laypeople within 2 minutes... 😁

I really need to change how I make git commit messages... like when I see a commit "ah" (or "ugh") I can only remember the extent of the pain while making that commit, not what caused the pain actually.

The main lesson from Moana 2 is Get Lost.

On that day, no flight can land or take off during listening comprehension times.

Grice's four maxims include "the maxim of quantity" which states that a speech must only and all information necessary (kind of similar to McKinlay's expressiveness criterion for vis). Like the other maxims, a way to interpret this maxim is to reason about the intention behind its violation.

in the mode that I can cry by losing data

Really need to watch wicked and moana 2

President Yoon once cut budgets for science research after a cult leader said that research is done well in US and Europe so we can just learn what they do. These facts do not have causal relationship.

My wish to be a cat doctor has been persisting. This is the year, Santa.

For recipes.... youtube is a lot better than web sites... particularly in English

latex is like - adding a couple words => no changes in the paragraph length - fixing a verb (use -> uses) => breaks all the layout and adds pages

I'm seeking a postdoc to work with me and @kenholstein.bsky.social on evaluating AI/ML decision support for human experts: statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2024/12/10/p... P.S. I'll be at NeurIPS Thurs-Mon. Happy to talk about this position or related mutual interests! Please repost 🙏

I'm like a support vector machine in a sense that I like drawing lines between subtleties.

I have this habit of dressing up when deadlines are approaching.
