If someone cared enough to spend money on this I think it would be an easy to medium difficulty project to use an FPGA and a CSI-2 IP to pretend to be the sensor. Good luck fixing that without baking a secure element into your sensor.

Thanks for the summary of the document, but not quite what I asked for. Why would e.g. a VHDL engineer need to have read it to deserve the title senior?

You're off base here for what may be a rather subtle reason. While I am not a marxist, I do think that the purchasing behavior of the wealthy makes much more sense when you think about things in terms of the labor theory of value. The

Over the last few weeks I’ve been hard at work building a FOSS maps app for Android from the ground up based on Material 3 components and industry standard maps tooling. It has online and offline modes, and integrates well with self-hosted

My guess is that they're using FastText for semantic search, so it's more likely to break queries like "coffee near me" than address search, the latter likely being handled by tantivy. For context, I've also written

There are a few piece of this that rely on proprietary data, especially the FastText training step, so that's a dead-end unfortunately (would love to be proven wrong). I'd consider subbing in a small bert model with a classifier h

What's wrong with S2? H3 is so much more complex for very little gain from what I can tell.

Well there are two competing factors, one of which you pointed out--not every woman who experiences harassment reports it. The other which may be less obvious is that the people who behave this way tend to do so not only repeatedly but freq

It's after midnight here so take this with a grain of salt but the generated timetable for the puget sound is taking up about 40 MiB on-disk and the server process is using 100k of RAM I think. Most of the timetable is zero-copy so it

Yeah I strongly suspect that there's something in the GTFS spec that I'm missing that's resulting in some vehicle journeys not being added to the timetable. This would also explain why it completely fails to find routes on th

There are ways to make it work on a budget, but with Nominatim you do need 64GB of physical memory at a minimum for the planet. Some of the other replies in this thread have offered resources on how to find that for cheap. My go-to for this

Writing a geocoder is hard because they combine natural language processing (i.e. address parsing, an exceptionally hard problem) with the need to search through a very large dataset, typically 300-500GB but sometimes more. Doing that for e
