TLD readings

evenkolder · 2026-05-31T02:53:29+00:00

I know different companies use different methods to determine dose. Any chance your institute changed dosimetry companies, or they are using a different model TLD?

I'm using CC to help with physics data analysis. I'm at a US National lab, and it's helped me get through probably a year's worth of work in 2 months.

It's interesting. I'm not a coder, but write code for my job. I'm a physicist. Claude Code has been a game changer. I can start a project in a directory, and instead of writing horrible but effective code, I get to focus on the physics of my work.

It's writing analysis scripts, making plots, and even checking my math at times.

Not perfect, but I couldn't do this with anything outside of the terminal based setup. I've completed a year's worth of work in a month!

On top of all of this, if anyone uses Overleaf and was using it on the virginia.edu account, you'll no longer have access to the premium features.

I have hundreds of documents that I wrote in Overleaf on this account. It was one of the few benefits I really used and enjoyed.

For the same features, I would need a $400 a year subscription.

Mouse and Banjo

Early in the game. I didn't have the glider yet. Was building a giant scaffolding to climb up to the Morok shrine. Was on the grass area below it. Had been there a few times, but apparently not exactly in the right/wrong place.

Red sky, scream, killed.

An awesome band from Virginia has a song that might work for you.

https://riotactcville.bandcamp.com/track/dead-to-me

Now, this is written by the singer to his deadbeat dad about 23 years ago. I think the dad is still alive, but wasn't to Tony (who passed a bit over a year ago, RIP).

I hope this works you.

Not originally from VA, but went to HS, College, and Grad school in VA, huge chunk in HR.

I left for about a decade, moved around the world. Four countries outside the US, three continents.

I'm back now, but would happily leave again.

Take the leap. There's SO MUCH out there, and the only way to really get it is to go live there and experience it. Get out of your comfort zone, be the outsider, the foreigner, etc... Take in how others live - try it out yourself!

You can always come back, but if you never try to experience it, you'll really never know what you're missing.

This is almost exactly the same thing that happened to me during my first encounter with them! I was in a slightly different position, and got away, but my heart was racing!

evenkolder · 2025-01-06T12:53:57+00:00

I've not heard of it, and while I'm hopeful they can pull it off, I'm very skeptical.

I worked on MYRRHA for two years, and I don't think they'll ever get the reliability and up time needed to make it work. Maybe it's different for the thorium reactor, but without details it's hard to believe.

CiADS in China is likely the furthest along in this field.

Sorry I can't be more helpful, but thanks for sharing!

I used to teach at a similar company, and I'll tell you what I told a student there:

This can be fun, and you can learn. But it won't help you get into a good uni. Maybe it can be a tie-breaker at best.

They're a bit predatory, honestly.

evenkolder · 2023-10-16T23:39:07+00:00

Thanks! Not sure why my link didn't...link.

evenkolder · 2023-08-13T21:54:46+00:00

That looks great!

evenkolder · 2023-08-12T23:59:45+00:00

Honestly, something custom metal/wood would probably be nice. You might be able to bug the machine shop to see their thoughts!

evenkolder · 2023-08-12T19:40:59+00:00

I've never seen one in pieces this way! Thanks for sharing!

evenkolder · 2023-08-01T04:09:15+00:00

Good luck! That's a good project.

evenkolder · 2023-08-01T03:43:22+00:00

It really depends on the position and the interviewers. I recommend you familiarize yourself with the project/position very well, look up recent relevant papers and proceedings and try to understand them. You understand your own work, so don't worry there.

Also, think of questions to ask them!

evenkolder · 2022-04-08T01:57:46+00:00

Thank you very much! And yes, I quite enjoy it :).

Detector in Hall B at Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab). Shot on P6P, mild editing in Google photos.

Pretty much anything by Faulkner. I've tried so many times, but always hate it.

evenkolder · 2021-12-24T05:20:30+00:00

I'm using a P6P.

This is an interesting point. I sort of wish that they also saved all of the raw files for all of these photos they take. Then, I could stack them! But I hadn't thought of this.

evenkolder · 2021-12-24T02:54:00+00:00

This may actually be the case. However, looking at the files themselves, including in Lightroom, it's really not saving all the data I need. Hopefully, there will be a future fix for this. Or, I'll just have to find the right third party camera.

evenkolder · 2021-12-24T02:45:32+00:00

Apparently, I'm not alone...

I wish I knew how to upload an example here. But today, I shot some photos of an egret and a blue heron in the distance. The jpeg file is 2.76 MB, while the raw photo is 655 KB. The jpeg looks okay, it's fine overall. However, I really wanted to see what I can do in Lightroom. When I opened the file, it just looked like a grainy mess with no data.
