Very nice! I’ve built something similar for Berlin[1] which is based on a digital surface model to also accurately cast shadows from trees, hills and bushes. [1]: https://sunsit.io/

Thank you for putting into words how a lot of AI prose makes me feel. 'Persistent mic drops' is the most accurate way I have seen it described and I would even argue the 'this-not-that writing' is part of it. Setting up

Thanks for letting me know, maybe I need to get back into it. I always enjoyed the speed with which I could prototype new ideas and even get them installed on a phone or tablet.

This reminds me of LiveCode[1] (aka Revolution and MetaCard) which I’ve used quite a bit about a decade ago. Was also inspired by HyperCard. Just checked their site again and it seems they’ve discontinued the open source version and have pi

It wouldn't if you own the full chain, i.e. have knowledge of both the on-device salt and hash AND the server salt and hash. However, in the scenario of using a third party like TelemetryDeck you as the developer would not be able to l

Nice writeup and I really like the minimal aesthetic of your site! On unique users: I wonder if there is a way to set this up to work similar to TelemetryDeck's double-hashing anonymization[1]. Did you look into that before deciding to

We are giving our dog Fluralaner/Bravecto[1] against ticks which paralyzes and kills them when they bite, drastically reducing potential exposure to Lyme disease. Unfortunately not approved for humans and therefore an interesting inver

Nicely done! Would be interesting to sort by upvotes and/or comment count as well.

This is exactly what I am working on for my city (Berlin). Right now it gives you sun/shade times for outside areas of cafes and restaurants as well as heatmaps for public parks and playgrounds. The idea is to eventually offer a sun or

While the author explicitly wanted Claude to be in the creative lead here, I recently also thought about how LLMs could mirror their coding abilities in music production workflows, leaving the human as the composer and the LLM as the tool-c

And, to add to that, how to know when to slow down. Also, having worked at a big company myself, I think the question shifts towards "how to get fast" without compromising security, compliance etc.

Do you maybe have sceeenshots of this? Would love to see some more ways of compacting and visualizing this data in a digestible way.

They may not understand it but they may very well be able to reproduce aspects of feedback and comments on similar pieces of software. I agree that the approach shouldn’t be done unsupervised but I can imagine it being useful to gain valuab

Looks like a really nice project! Would love the ability to „subscribe“ to a place or area and get a mail or notification once there is a new book added for that location. Another nice addition would be a heatmap layer for the lower zoom le

Does this happen at a specific time of day (e.g., start/end of shift) or randomly? The quickest way would be to wear ANC headphones during the most noisy times. Then, if possible and allowed, you could look into soundproofing your wind

Quick heads-up: I clicked through several links on your blog and website (Integrations, Guide, API) and they don’t seem to go anywhere specific yet, or just link back to the top of the page. This makes it harder to evaluate and find out mor

Are you referring to the outside seating polygons? Wouldn’t these stereo images still have a lot of noise (trees, cars, trucks, smaller non-building structures) obstructing the target areas?

It’s likely a mix of availability bias and pattern-seeking/apophenia: a few recent outages stand out and the rise of LLMs in recent years is also ever present. This increases the chance to assume a link between both even without eviden
