Cool work! Something that worries me with PCA is that it's designed to retain variance, but variance might nor be the right metric for the semantics we want to retrieve. Ditto UMAP/tSNE that retains distances in lower dimensionali

howdy! Clay makers here. Can you share more? Did you try Clay v1 or v0.2 What image size embeddings from what instrument? We did try to relate OSM tags to Clay embeddings, but it didn't scale well. We did not give up, but we are re-co

You'll need to subscribe to Alexa weather plus, for only 9.99$/month. Now seriously, yes, hyperlocal short-term weather forecast should be a commodity, even public utility?

Can we help you? We build the equivalent for land, as a non-profit. It's basically a geo Transformer MAE model (plus DINO, plus matrioska, plus ...), but largest and most trained (35 trillion pixels roughly). Most importantly fully ope

I fondly remember how a small DC startup subsubsubcontracted to do the front landing page was able to ensure that at least people landed on healthcare.gov page and not a 500 error page. All thanks for a single server (with one backup) using

The part that is confusing is highest resolution (1) full-disk and (2) outer atmosphere: (1) "Full-disk" is clear to understand: the higher the resolution, ^2 the work to make it also full-disk (especially when the Sun rotates dif

I'm surprised there was no mention (yet!) to fast.ai here. I've decided to learn deep learning this year, after many failed tries with other approaches. Their framework (built over PyTorch), their course, and their community aroun

OpenCollective [1] is a possible solution. It provides a way to support (monthly contributions or dedicated campaigns), but also the whole back-end of tracking the money and spending, and at least some degree of legal support with paperwork

I'm surprised there's no mention to adaptive optics in solar physics. It's essentially the same, but some interesting differences. Since there's more light you can have more corrections per second, better approaching the

Why not just weighting the value of each like by the number of likes given over a period of time? People who spare the likes will give more value, those who like it all, won´t really add much value with their like.

Wouldn´t the sun-synchronous orbit allow you to use a similar a pipeline with local-time filtering to create a night-time map? That would be quite amazing, and also useful for socio-economic folks (or even correlate that with OSM coverage)

Instead of following the Amazon link, you can go to O'reilly page and use the code CFSTNY to get 50% off. (almost no difference with Amazon.com Kindle version, but you also get the pdf) http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920023784.do?code

Longer thrust would not be equivalent to bigger thrusts for non vertical paths, neither the arrival time or vectors once there. That's probably related. I can also imagine that even the weight profile will change, thus leading to different

Github Pages is down. It is remarkable how unreliable Pages has been lately. I've used Pingdom for the last month, and they have reported down time more than 10 times in the last month, with various lengths. Worrisome.
