I did an experiment a few weeks back as a bit of a litmus test for a new data format my team and I have been working on. I fed the spec documentation into ChatGPT and asked it to write a file reader for it. It spat out a mostly-correct impl

I work in the borehole instrumentation industry, and lots of our customers get hyperspectral data from core. I'm working on a new data delivery and management platform, and I've made sure our data structures can handle hyperspectr

Oof, that's tough. I'm over here on a blue card, and I found that the initial application and dealing with department of immigration was actually really streamlined. Everything is very manual and personal over here, but there are

I've noticed the umami flavour that tends to develop when cooking beer for a long time. An Irish stew with Guinness in it, or a gulas using beer as the staple liquid all develop Vegemite like flavours. I love it, but I think a lot of n

There are multiple official camping grounds and caravan parks on the route. Unfortunately wild camping isn't allowed anywhere. I know that some people still try it, and probably so long as you're somewhere off trail, camp late and

Thanks for the recommendation. I used KML files and manually connected them, but a router would've been handy. I'll give it a shot.

A few months back I dragged myself away from Tears of the Kingdom and went on a four day hike across the entirety of Luxembourg. I planned my route using open source GIS tools, and did the cross country walk over a long weekend back in June

It's why I switched my Model 3 to just report battery percentage instead of estimated range. Their charge usage algorithm in their route planner is very impressive. Even across 300+ km trips, I've never seen it out by more than a

Author here. This is just a bit of technical discussion on the first bring-up and testing of a new design of force/torque sensor that utilises a Stewart platform geometry. The ultimate goal is that it'll become a fully functional

Most of the key authors are still with the team, though some of the old crew will start retiring shortly.

These stories are great, and totally resonate with me at the moment. I'm managing a team working on a 30 year old codebase. It is in technical debt, like many codebases that old. That being said, the codebase is full of so much good st

I've been working on of these for a little bit as well. I have a prototype that's working, but has a few problems I hope to solve in the next iteration. Mine is based on a Stewart platform with strain sensors for each truss.

I implemented a well known curve simplification algorithm in Rust, and was pleasantly surprised how easy the interaction with Python was. For packaging, setuptools_rust was great, and I too used PyO3 for the bindings. I haven't tried R

This is a pretty impressive project, though the results ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwXs9RB6uD0 ) are somewhat disappointing. From what I see toward the end of the video, the image is blurry with poor colour rendition,

I wish it were true where I currently work. Our offices line up exactly east-west. In a few weeks time, I'll be installing a calibration fixture to calibrate fluxgate magnetometers, and the fixture itself needs to be aligned to magneti

I wouldn't be able to with this particular design, but there might be other solutions for what you're asking. What would you use it for? Something like the CharaChorder? https://80.lv/articles/charachorder-a-c

That's exactly the library I'm using for my Allan deviation plots. The documentation and interface are written more in relation to testing frequency standards, but works equally as well for gyro data.
