    That was a fun mobile challenge! I just exported my Google Maps Timeline, used ChatGPT to convert it to a CSV of points, and then made a heatmap with Kepler’s grid layer.. I had to…

    CARTO is more focused on backend pipelines and large-scale data (where everything needs to be tiled before it can be visualized), while Kepler is a great last-mile visualization to…

    It’d be great to have contributors join our collaborator summit [0] in the Seattle area this fall! It’s a free event, supported by the OpenJS Foundation, kepler.gl’s host foundatio…

    Mapbox is just a small step away from that with their MCP server wrapping their pay-by-use API. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a subscription offering with usage limits if that som…

    Pretty incredible result having followed along on MattKC Byte’s YouTube channel for a couple of years. Their GitHub projects have become a great resource for software preservation …

    I was curious about this too and enjoyed reading the routes file https://github.com/luskaner/ageLANServer/blob/main/server/in...

    This tool says it includes a workflow GUI and refinement tools, like creating work-specific text recognition models - maybe the others do too? tesseract isn’t packaged with a GUI, …

    Can this detect if you’re left your garage door open for a while and notify me?

    Joby posted an overview of how to fly their aircraft in MSFS 2024! I’m an engineer at Joby and was lucky enough to be part of the project. If you’d like help setting up your contro…

    Super fun. Loved the rubbery sound design. I’d want to watch the CEO host a speed run stream.

    They've had huge pushes to add EVs to their network, which is great but this means it’s an increasingly likely for someone to get stuck. I’d include these instructions in their in-…

    Every Uber I take in a Tesla would practically need an airline safety briefing for this. There’s no way I’d find it on my own.

    Regulations are written in blood.. it’s really disappointing to see a car make it to production without an obvious mechanical way to open the door. I’ve been in many teslas and had…

    These ads feel like YouTube Short sketches. A little absurd, and a bit of a fantasy land. Would people really interact this way - word for word? I think being aspirational with AI …

    I remember first discussions about removing the GIL back in 2021 and a lot of initial confusion about what the implications would be. This is a great summary if, like me, you weren…

    I only started to really appreciate having a web page archive after cataloging the coffee I drank, which often have pages full of detail about the beans until they sell out and the…

    The great thing about open map projects is that they can be updated, and store a historical edit log along with discussions and sources for each change.

    They primarily went on strike to address access-to-care issues, not to increase pay. Maybe they are paid a lot less too, but I’m not sure what that had to do with the strike. FWIW,…

    A basic litmus test I use for systems programming languages is: “can I imagine the Linux kernel including this language one day?” Currently that’s C, Rust, and some assembly.. obvi…
