mergechannels 0.5.3 is thread safe with Python 3.14t. Keep those cores busy!

Friday night lights

mergechannels 0.5.0 adds support for passing colormap objects from cmap (github.com/pyapp-kit/cmap) or matplotlib in addition to built-in colormaps from FIJI, myself, @christlet.bsky.social and @jamesdmanton.bsky.social pip install mergechannels or build from github.com/zacswider/me...

Had a convo with someone yesterday who dismissed Python as “not a real language” and “a scripting language”. Python is everywhere — the web, machine learning, analytics, devops, embedded systems, mobile, etc.

There has to be a better way to open .lut files right??

Effortless

I love Dask

Just pushed v0.3.0 which builds in the lovely suite of LUTs created by @jamesdmanton.bsky.social also installable directly into FIJI at sites.imagej.net/JDM_LUTs/luts/

Also adjust low/high points while color mapping 🎉

Building soon - adding support for 3D and u16 images to github.com/zacswider/me...

Mouse just died, time to see how good I can vim.

Measles doesn’t seem that fun to get tbh

Someday when I lead my own engineering team, the style guide will state that JSON must be pronounced with a French accent.

If you’re like me and want to use/blend FIJI lookup tables from Python you can now install mergechannels with pip or build from source: github.com/zacswider/me... This is a very *minimal* working implementation but there’s more to come :)

Amaziiiiiing I love matplotlib 🥰

Wow blending brightfield and fluorescence is always such a pain

Reason #42 to use a split keeb - multiplexing side projects

Added next gen color flavors from @christlet.bsky.social and native blending for inverted cmaps github.com/cleterrier/C...

Baby steps! Autocompletion for built-in colormap names 👀

After 42 different re-writes of my config, I'm unironically using nvim now

configuring vim is free, but only if you don't value your time

Just learned of a new one a couple days ago

It's time to delete all the "test.txt", "trash.py", and "delete_this.pdf" files from your desktop

Programming with copilot/cursor is literally backseat driving. It's only fun if you have no idea where you're going.

Don't work on the same repo on three different devices. It just isn't a good idea.

Working on bringing FIJI lookup tables to Python

Just came up with a new app idea and opened BlueSky to this meme… but this time it will be different!

if I were santa, I'd construct the list and perform both checks in a single pass

+10000, some other recs based on academic code I've seen: 1. use type annotations by default. Will make it MUCH easier to debug later on. 2. variable names: t_transpose bad, explain what it means 3. PyTorch shape suffixes: good idea medium.com/@NoamShazeer... 4. enums good, dataclasses great

Solution - rent more gpus

I guess I can only train three models at once on this gpu :(

I feel seen. (h/t to @forrestbrazeal)

I tried to do AOC with Zig today and I think what I learned is that the Rust documentation is really good

Advent of code day 4 🦀 I’m not good at working with strings in Rust, performance is degrading quickly!

Advent of code day 3 🐍

typing.Literal is so underrated. Why claim that your function allows any string of only allows a handful of very specific strings?

Me, tonight, reading my code.

Advent of code day 2 🦀

Advent of code day 1 🦀

Joker (2019) was really good. The sequel was every bit as bad as the reviews would suggest :(

do not like that I need to load >120GB of data into memory in order to train a model :(

8th time is the charm…

Playing with moondream github.com/vikhyat/moon...

Trying instanseg next

How many different flavors of “structured illumination microscopy” are there these days?

Beautiful 🎉

All I want for Christmas is some free time to play with a raspberry pi

I would be pushing for more people to learn formal prompt engineering if we actually had a science for prompting that was consistent, not weird, and did not involve complex psychological guesswork about what quasi-intelligent machines trained on all of human language might like to do LLMs are weird
