Have you come across ICEYE? It's a high res commercial SAR constellation, and they have a deforestation monitoring service. They partnered with the Jane Goodall Institute - perhaps you could approach them? https://www.iceye.

They make a nice way of stitching together old maps.

Are there some benchmarks of the browser vs non-browser version? I.e., what are the absolute numbers behind > Numba delivers a roughly 250× speedup in WebAssembly, compared with about 90× natively.

Mmm it's still a toss up. Humans are also non-deterministic AF but I'm sure you're familiar with the 'common pitfalls' trope. The 'mea culpa' guy did mislead the Daring Fireball guy, indicating he is full

The 'original' app made heavy use of Claude also, according to its dev in that thread.

In this case, the model infiltrated an external organization's infrastructure. What's the dollar cost it caused Hugging Face to clean up the mess? If a person did this, they'd be arrested. More generally, here's my worry

I've recently been using podman on SELinux... :Z and :z seem to work fine across both podman and docker for writeable volumes. Am I missing something?

Ah yes, the good old days.

We don't like it either, but thanks for being a sanctimonious prick about it.

Even in a notebook it's a pain... import plotnine as p9 would be nicer.

Great, this will be the savior of software devs - as the last memory safety bugs are being patched, a whole new world of javascript multithreading issues to fix opens up.

If classic PATs were to blame, doesn't this mean further private repos could be at risk as well? (apart from the GitHub ones the other day).

True, we use S3 a lot too. But it's interesting to think of alternatives like this project, e.g., for when we don't have the setup for a full on block storage service.
