They say every day is a school day and despite it being a Sunday in sunny Las Campanas I would definitely say it’s been another good day for learning!
Lesson 1, Size matters: My first lesson of the day was that a 32 oz cup (946 mL to those metrically minded) exists and is considered a normal drink size. To prove this point, Parker was on his third refill by 9am. I have to say I was very impressed, as that’s a lot of liquid for a person to hold. I was even more impressed to find out that 64 oz cups are a thing, though unfortunately one was not on the mountain to demonstrate. Luckily AI is your friend and has shown me what I truly believe will be the next sensation to sweep Las Campanas.
Lesson 2, With great power comes great responsibly: A day of vibe coding was fun and I’ve never been so close to solving a problem for so long. However, at the end, the main thing I have learnt is that copilot and I do not fully understand each other.
Lesson 3, As we work to create light for others, we naturally light our own way: Today the team were exploring vignetting in the system. Now, I’m not talking about motorway tolls, short stories or an allowance to enter a country, but where your light is cut off in an optical system by things getting in the way! Through some valiant efforts the team have proven that you can add a whole bunch of extra tubes to an optical bench and still not cut off the light from the beam.
I wish you all a pleasant end to the weekend and a good week of learning ahead.
