2023-W27-7, 2023-190, Sun
- 00:45-07 (07:45+00): I published a comment on sopuli.xyz about a 3D map of the Lanikea Supercluster and its position in relation to the South Pole Wall. I then did a reverse image search and found that a copy of a similar image had been uploaded to Wikimedia Commons here. I dove into the CEA IRFU website and found this article published on 2020-07-11 talking about an article authored by Daniel Pomarède that uses the image in question among others. I couldn't find an indication that Pomarède's images were published under a 🅭🅯🄎 4.0 license as indicated by the Wikimedia Commons image page so I sent an email to Pomarède asking if he could release the images under CC BY-SA 4.0. At the very least I'd like to communicate my interest and the interest of others regarding the 3D map.
- (08:04+00): I noted the details of the paper by Pomarède on the South Pole Wall and a CEA article containing images about the research.[2][3]
- (01:28+00): I posted a summary of my impression of the first episode of The Gene of AI (AI no Idenshi). I summarized it as “transhuman-quandary-of-the-week”.

- (11:40+00): BK-2023-05: I initialized a project to track a repository recording notes for my learning of the C programming language. I made a repository on GitLab.
- (22:54+00): I found a paper by a Phil Salvador linked in my Mastodon feed that empirically studies the availability of classic video games; basically, video games availability is declining at a rate similar to World War II audio films or American silent-era films.[4][5]

The archive I found was titled “Texas Adjutant General's Department Departmental Correspondence: An Inventory of Adjutant General's Department Departmental Correspondence at the Texas State Archives, 1846-1943, bulk 1861-1933”.[7]
