Ah, that's extremely cool! I'm enjoying hacking around with ESP32s etc at the moment (maybe it's just nice to do something physical that an AI can't) and it's amazing how mature th…

Oh, that's such a good idea! I suppose the challenge is knowing where there are installable surfaces are (or at least making defensible guesses). I'm going to have a go at this...

Good idea. I want to add specific options for different mounting locations (sheds etc) as well.

Absolutely! I have some other datasets that might be useful too (e.g. air quality). Drop me a line: ruaraidh[at]southlondonscientific.com :)

Thanks - I didn't know about Inspire Index, I'll check it out. I tend to agree about false precision. My first instinct was to use the synthetic horizon for addresses in that group…

Thanks! Should be doable, I just got excited by the new shiny thing first.

Plug-in solar panels (no electrician needed) have just become legal in the UK and will go on sale soon. Helios estimates how much electricity a typical installation could generate …

Opus keeps pointing out (in a fashion that could be construed as exasperated) that what it's working on is "obviously not malware" several times in a Cowork response, so I suspect …

Aeolus is a Python library to provide a unified interface for air quality data from sources around the world. Air quality data is now very widely available, but managing access to …

"high-risk, high-reward" science sounds great, until you suddenly have a replication crisis on your hands. Big, exciting results already attract more attention than good, careful, …

thanks - do you think there's anything obvious I might be missing coming from an academic background in terms of getting attention? I don't know how useful side projects really are…

I'm in a similar place to the OP - I have a PhD in health science with R and Python experience (and a little hobby experience with TensorFlow and some AWS stuff). Is it worth doing…

Oh no, a trend! I bet it carries on forever no matter what!!

How could Merck stall those studies? Ivermectin is widely available, you don't need to get Merck's permission to use it in a study.

This isn't quite true - Scotland's income tax rates are slightly different from the rest of the UK's, so residence inside or outside Scotland is relevant.
