Taxis apps in BLR must make a local Hotspot mandatory. Don’t have data while visiting India to use the QR code payment system, and had to pay my remaining 100 INR and 2 dollar bills that my driver happily agreed to , in lieu of a 240 Rupees fare.
Excited to be presenting my research and meeting some scholars whose work I have been following for a while now. The NEH funded Global Cochlear Implant conference is free to register and attend in Chicago (Fri/Sat Oct 11/12 ). humdev.uchicago.edu/about/ev…
I've been really enjoying editing code by voice: using @cursor_ai for IDE @superwhisper for transcription.
It's so fast! Hit cmd-k, say what I want, boom. Faster than typing it myself. The prompts can get quite detailed too, voice makes it fast enough
Let us celebrate motherhood, Illini Goose at Parking Lot E-8 has been incubating for 3 weeks now, all through Finals and Graduation, rain or shine! @UofIllinois 🦢👏
We collaborated with the European Space Agency to open-source the largest ever earth observation dataset: Major TOM Core!
About half of the entire planet is covered. That's 2,245,886 patches of 1068 x 1068 pixels. At 10m resolution, we've got 256 million square km with over 2.5 trillion pixels.
More datasets from different satellites are in preparation and anyone can join this collaborative effort thanks to their organization on Hugging Face: huggingface.co/Major-TOM.
Quoting @mikonvergence@esa: “democratizing Earth Observation model development and deployment with transparent, reproducible, and traceable tools - starts with the data!”
You can explore the data here huggingface.co/spaces/Major-… & access the dataset here: huggingface.co/datasets/Majo…

So excited to go see 'Dry Cleaning' @drycleaningband from London perform here in Austin.I first heard them when staff @ Breakaway Records played an LP. So serendipitous to discover a band in a record shop & then realize they're playing in the neighborhood youtube.com/watch?v=6PuqlOTy…
