Much appreciated! Still thinking about how to fold in eFloras and the expanded CoL XR data, and add the immediate habitat/surroundings beyond the climate/geo/pics we already have in a compelling way. If you have any examples

Launching a thing soon to make it more accessible, without sacrificing scientific depth, eg: https://www.meso.cloud/plants/tracheophyta/magnoliopsida/gen... Aggregates 780k plants and fungi from many canonica

Excellent kachō-e prompt - working on something similar and found it hard to get the right balance between sharp outlines and watercolors, and especially plant morphology is dicey (eg plants like Cacao that fruit from the trunk instead of b

Very skeptical Adam Curtis hat on while reading this, but it is quite well written. Thanks & kudos!

Scott Purdue has a couple of good videos on the incident https://youtube.com/@flywirescottperdue A pilot not trained well on visually IDing some of the most common military planes would be quite a training lapse.

Biodiversity & climate platform that takes care of your plants. Online part mostly done at https://www.meso.cloud/plants/ , currently building glass grow box and light prototypes that will be driven by it.

OK, the whats the endgame for flooding the zone with agent outputs question aside: The visualization of what the agents are up to in the "office" on the dashboard is incredibly cute.

Very good question - posted it for awareness / sparking hopefully nuanced “are we the baddies here?” reflection in the community, and curious folks to preorder.

If anyone ever writes a post of why that error keeps happening with browsers that should support it, I'd be incredibly grateful. Keep seeing it in our (unrelated to OP company) Sentry logs and zero chance to reproduce them.

You still have a lot of credibility to not be put into the number-go-up bracket and the social capital to overcome the political and power structures you had to face for two decades and know more about than most people by having built your

I’m sure the current administration will put prudent oversight in place for that not to happen. But I guess we will find out in a 2027 Bessent presser announcing the Fed stepping in. More serious answer: the bigger risk is trusting SV types

Normally not too much sympathy for the 7 or so 'sober' ECB folks, but I do not envy them for having to endure their hyped up CBDC colleagues at Robert Johnson at 3am…

It’s a hilarious definition of “fix” but the basic argument is that when you mandate stablecoins to hold treasuries and they start seeing actual adoption, you create demand/sink for a couple extra trillion dollars of treasury bonds. Eg

Very happy Open Meteo campers for that, but meant something like Open Meteo for real-time lightning data.

by brunohaid 1y ago
Thanks a ton! Was afraid that that's the answer - and that there's no reasonably priced aggregator/abstraction layer, eg like https://open-meteo.com for ECMWF.

Nice! Need to implement realtime lightning data in a project soon, WIS2 is great for overall weather details but doesn't have a good temporal lightning resolution. Has anyone reached out to both and done that recently with WWLLN and&#x

Definitely a need, kudos for tackling it! I’d still look into fine tuning. One of the main issues I’m struggling with is that even reasonably simple drivers often need to be aware of Application Notes etc that would single handedly blow pa

Maybe that'll help them hire someone who can at least respond to S2 API key requests... Being open is great, but if over the course of 6 months 3 different entities (including 2 well known universities) apply and send more than a dozen

The KEF come with cloth covers, but they're too elastic to deter a determined toddler. The smaller Genelec like the 8040's are quite protected and show up on somewhat trusted second hand sites like reverb.com for about ~$500-800 p

Small room size helped a lot: Blueair HEPA filter with a (long, think Ostrich) feather duster for day to day, and ~ weekly wet wipe / vacuum.

Korg D1, indeed, good combination of solid full size keys in a slim package.

Eizo CS2740, really happy with them. Weird anecdote: they weren't available in the US at the time yet, so I got them off amazon.co.jp, and it was the most impressive thoughtful multi-layer cardboard packaging I ever got from any resell

Like mentioned in other comments standing desk height, concerned about it initially as well, but gave it a try and quite happy with the surface (it compresses easily and bit of treatment prevents it from getting gross in 3 months).

Used to be in the rack (bottom left) initially, but fiddling with it down there eventually got too annoying.
