I'm thinking of starting a data labeling company in East Africa that supports local computer science students to complete their studies and gain experience with AI. What should I k…

Grapefruit juice can also increase the amount of a drug absorbed into the bloodstream. It blocks an enzyme in the small intestine that breaks down many types of drugs.

Yes definitely. I’m also curious to know, what are Ukrainian software contractors doing now? And assuming this war ends, what, if anything, will they need to rengage with foreign c…

Certainly. I’m assuming that much of Ukraine will remain in Ukrainian hands. I’m wondering what the immediate needs of a post-war society are.

I feel compelled to move to Ukraine once some semblance of peace returns (inshallah) in order to help rebuild all that’s been lost. From a technology perspective, what jobs/service…

Quite likely! I'm planning on making the gorillas identification project open source as there's actually quite a lot to it (the core AI functionality, management of lots of images …

LoRaWAN is used for an alert system in an area where local communities are threatened by an armed group called the ADF (aka ISIS-DRC). In the future we hope to roll out a large-sca…

In fact, we are basically doing facial detection based on cropped photos of gorillas around the nose. Thanks for the links! I'll be sure to check it out.

You're definitely right that DRC wants to move up the value chain. Most raw materials are shipped out of the country for processing or smuggled to neighboring states (gold). Howeve…

I spent two years working in DRC and have now moved to a remote position (based in the US). There are a few organizations I've worked with that do great work: Allen Institute for A…

It's still pretty early days for this project so I haven't published anything yet. Hopefully soon!

Awesome thanks for sharing! I can see this being helpful for us as well.

Hey I just added me email to my profile. Happy to share more directly!

I guess facial recognition is a more apt description. We just use photos of wild gorillas cropped around the nose. Not intrusive at all!

I work for a national park in the Democratic Republic on the Congo as a tech lead. Some of the things we are doing: LoRaWAN for tracking and emergency response, ML to identify gori…

This is very insightful. Tip of the hat to you!

Springer is offering free textbooks and other publications during the Covid-19 crisis.

I ran a curl test and noticed that the TCP connect time is where things are getting hung up, taking over 80 seconds! Does anyone know if this is indicative of deliberate rate limit…

Thanks for the recommendation!

I can definitely notice an improvement in performance when I use a VPN, however it would be cool to see where things are being delayed. Is traceroute or curl something that could h…

I live in a country with less than ideal Internet freedom standards and I have a suspicion that a popular publishing site is being rate limited. How can I know for sure? Is it poss…
