Tired: Smart phones and social media are evil

Wired: Smart phones and social media are like fire and are powerful accelerants, but require habits & adaptation to their strengths and weaknesses to truly make them work well.

Lots of clever tricks in here, including getting a composite harmonic over 12 months of NDVI crop areas, turning that into an HSV image, then applying Segment Anything on the HSV results to get weakly supervised crop field boundaries. Then he deals with crop field edge artifacts…

This is clever

“So what happened? How did Boeing, the gold standard in human spaceflight for decades, fall so far behind on crew? This story, based largely on interviews with unnamed current and former employees of Boeing and contractors who worked on Starliner, attempts to provide some…

Make Ajax great again!

Thanks for highlighting Ark Biotech, Sen Fetterman! It's great to see you helping your constituents envision a future where meat production is as clean and cruelty free as brewing beer, instead of looking like a slaughterhouse floor. 🇺🇸🥩

Did you know… you can knock on your neighbors doors and get to know them! It’s a One Weird Trick!

What’s the opposite of a visionary?

I wonder if this will end up turning into the Linux of AI models, where a personal project ends up accruing a tremendous amount of momentum & changing the course of companies?

Our satellites tend to collect data at the height of day when shadows are minimal and details are bright. But occasionally we grab an image during the early morning hours when the light is soft and diffused across the landscape, creating an almost dreamlike filter.
